On the first day of this month Drs. Brown and
Hall, Of the New York and Boston Medical Instr
tutes. announced to the citizens Of Portland that
they had acceded to the very urgent request OF
those under their treatment residing in this city
and opened branch office at BAL Congress
street, Portland. In order to more quickly intro
duce their system, they made the unprecedented
offer that all those suffering from any chronic dis
ease which had baffied the skill and experience
OF their family physician, they would examine
and If durable treat free until cured. This prop
osition, coming from an institution whose stand
ing In Boston and New York is unquestioned
very naturally met with quick response from a
ong suffering public, and during the past four
weeks from morning until night and sometimes
far into the night there has been a constant in
coming and outgoing of those seeking relief of
their many ills. The acceptance of their very
generous offer has not been confined to the poor
alone, but all classes are seeming anxious to test
the system, which, from the Boston press, has
seemed to make so many wonderful cures in Bos-
ton and vicinity. Another matter that should not
be lost sight Of and that is the power these gen
temen have in locating disease-not a question
Is asked, but quickly and unerringly they locate
and explain every ache and pain without ques-
ton from the patient. This would seem evidence
strong enough to convince any one that they at
least understand your ailment During the four
weeks just passed they have consulted with 1867
patients, out of this number 612 have been pro-
nounced incurable and their cases not treated,
All should remember that today, p. M, will
be the last opportunity in which they can book
their names. All holding the yellow slips can re-
turn them and receive free treatment today only.
Their office is BAL Congress street, two doors be-
ow Wilmot street. ap3Odlt

Chauncey M. Depew who has lust returned
from the West tells the New York Tribune
that the outlook for wheat and fruit in the
states be visited is more promising than has
been known for five years. AS regards poll.
tics Mr.. Depew said the two most noticeable
symptoms in the West were the rapid change
Of opinion going on in regard 10 the pro
lection legislation of the last Congress and
the ability of President Harrison. The
tariff bill having been passed only 30 DAYS
before election and the country not being
especially prosperous, particularly in agrj
cultural regions, the theorists easily proved
that when the law came into operation Il
would practically ruin the country. The
protective principle on the one hand and the
reciprocity one on the other, which are the
features of the measure, are already accom-
plishing just the opposite results. AS the
demonstration upsets the theory people who
were fooled return to their original faith and
become active workers for the overthrow of
the false prophets" The change of opinion
regarding the President had been the result
chiefly Of the Presidents speeches in his
Quincy to the Pacific coast. Mr.. Depew
thought appearances indicated the renomi-
notion and reelection of Mr.. Harrison. Mr..
