Portland. The doctor has ut last con-

afflicted and will have his office at the
occident Hotel. Those wishing to consult
the doctor will find 1t to their advantage
to consult him while here and during the
first part of his stay. as many require
more than one treatment by electricity.
He comes to us laden with testimonials
from the whole Northwest, and the
authentic reports OF some of his cures
seem nothing short of miracles So many
thousands are already acquainted with
his mode of treatment. 1t seams unneces-

cures by the wonderful power of electric
ity.
There are few Ills to which the human
flesh is heir, which cannot be relieved
and generally permanently cured by Dr.
Darrin's electrical treatment. and cases
that have resisted the efforts Of the or
