COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE.

SwANv1LLE. Mr.. Albert Nickerson and
Miss Julia Chase have returned from Boston.
.... WEIGH & Stevens of Belfast have Just
finished painting our church, and it looks
very nice. Mrs. RS. Smart is in town fix
ing up her house for the winter. :. Mr.. James
Robertson and family have moved up river
Mr.. D. W. Billings recently returned
from Boston, where he went with Dr. j. s.
Cole of this town for treatment. Last June
Mr.. B. consulted DIR. Cole in regard to polypi
| as he did not have suitable instruments ad-
vised him to 20 to the hospital, which he
did, in September. An appointment was
made with DIR. ii. A. Lothrope, specialist
| OF 10 Marlboro St., Boston, and II polypi,
of different shapes and sizes were taken out
of his nose and throat with but little pain or
discomfort. Mr.. B. has them preserved in
alcohol and showed them to us Saturday
night. 1t hardly seems possible that so
much foreign matter could be in a persons
throat without choking one to death, and
such would have been the result if they had
not been removed. They varied in size
from an ordinary bean to the little finger.
Mir. b. says he can speak clearer and breathe
more freely tLan he ever has since he can
remember. He feels that too much cannot
be said in praise of Drs. Cole and Lothrope
who have saved him from such horrible
death as his would ultimately have BEEN.
Don't forget the l.. A. S. at Capt. T. d.
Nckersons this, Thursday, evening.
