Spontaneous Testimonials from We'll Known Citizens of the Salt
 River Valley.

A reporter overheard, on Washington street, yesterday, a conversation that in terested him greatly. Peter Rasmussen well-known farmer located a few miles below Phenix, was replying to the con. graduation of friend upon his very ap. parent improvement in health.
 "Yes," said MT. Rasmussen, "my con dition of comparative health is indeed wonderful, when it is considered that hut few weeks ago was but physica wreck. With kindey and liver deranged to such degree that physicians had practically given me up as incurable, lost all hope and made my will with the full expectation of dying within shor, time. While I was in this condition o mind and body, Joe Gilmour came tc me and counseled that visit Dr. Mac. Lennan. expressed the opinion that nay case was beyond the reach of human skill, but he persisted and fairly packed me off to see the Doctor, telling me or the way of the almost marvellous manner in which he himself had been cured The first treatment at the hands of Dr. MacLennan gave me strength and hope and today am well. cannot speak in tooehigh terms of the physician who has done all this for me. His work is mar vicious and every day hear of cases oi sickness equal to mine in severity that have yielded to his skill"
 GILMoUR's EVIDENCE.
 Pursuing the subject the reporter called around on Mir. Gilmour. He is a member of the thriving firm of Gilmour Bros, blacksmiths, whose extensive shops occupy the southwest corner of Center and Adams.
 In response to query relative to his recovery from sickness, he emphatically said: ''I owe my restoration to health to the treatment have received from Dr. MacLennan. For two years l had suffered from Laryngitis until my voice was lost to that extent that 1 could not speak above whisper, my general health was undermined, and I was go- ing fast on decline. tried everything doctors, the Hot Springs and -all--and nothing seemed of any use. Shortly after Doctor MacLennan came here, placed myself under his care. Today, feel better than for years past, my throat trouble has disappeared, and I can yell like cowboy"
 Continuing his investigation, the re- porter called on the Doctor himself, at his parlors on the second floor of the Monihon building. The reception room was found crowded with ladies, while on the balcony were seated a number of men awaiting their turns.
 The reporter retired to await more favorable time for securing an interview with the Doctor, and, meanwhile, en- gagged in conversation with Hon. J. D. Monihon, Chairman, of the Board of Insane Asylum Directors, whose office adjoins that of the Doctor. "There seems to be a continuous stream of people," said Mir. Monihon, "pouring into the next room all day long. They are afflicted with almost every i'll that flesh is heir to; but hear from them as they go away, nothing but the highest praise for Dr. MacLennan, and confident hopes for complete recovery. 1 know, personally, of number of extraordinary cures he has made. that show him to be a most able physician"
 CASE OF PARALYSIS.
 When opportunity offered admittance was gained to the operating room, where a cordial greeting was received from the Doctor. He was working upon patient under treatment for paralysis. The mode of treatment seemed to be a combination of electricity, massage and medicinal applications.
 The gentleman being operated upon is named Lieurence Wentling. During a short absence of the Doctor he grew enthusiastic in his praise of the treat ment received.
 Just four years and three months ago, he said, "I was mining on Lynx creek, near Prescott. One morning on arising 1 was stricken as quickly as though bullet had hit me with paraly- sis in the right side. arm and leg. I was taken to Prescott and have since spent in Physicians fees alone over $7O0. was at Castle Creek Hot Springs when l heard that Dr. McIennan was in Phoenix and took the earliest oppor- tunity of coming down and consulting him. 1 have been under his care for two weeks and see''-he raised his arm above his head-'.I can use my arm without trouble and am able to walk without crutches am deeply grateful for the good that has been done me, when recovery seemed out of the ques- tion'"
 SPINAL TROUBLE CURED.
 Another patient whose treatment was witnessed was G. K. Smith, the cleaner and dyer, whose shop is located on Cortez street, opposite the Monihon block. He has been troubled for several years with what the Doctors called Sciatica and foi five months past has been unable to do any work at all. He placed himself under Dr. McLennan's care about ten days ago, when it was discovered that his ailment was a curva- ture of the spine, caused by the wasting away of the tissue between the vertebrfe of the lower portion of the spinal column. He is now much improved. His back is regaining it's suppleness, showing that the natural oil is once more being secreted and he confidently expects an entire cure before the Doctor leaves.
 Dr. McLennan is a man of fine phy- sique, with every indication of strong natural magnetic power. He ascribes his success in the treatnent of the phror,ie Ataaa oac that ora b,,nal4 k~ l. ....
