SkoWhepan.- Iune II

Skowhegan, June II.
For the past two months the people of
Skowhegan, have been watching with
crit cal eyes the work of specialist from
New York, who has his Office at Hotel
Coburn. Although he comes with the
highest recommendation from the most
prominent physicians and surgeons, as
being master of the art OF healing, yet
many have preferred to wait and see
for themselves the results of his skill.
Those results can now BE seen on every
side. His cures are the talk of the town
and as a result his Office is crowded with
the sick and afflicted who seek and re-
ceive help from bis hands.
1t is peculiar thing that he will not
accept for treatment simple and easy
cases, but will take only chronic and OBJ
stinate diseases which have resisted medi-
cal treatment. He makes specially of
those cases.
People from the surrounding towns are
beginning to flock to Skowhegan as pill
grms flock to Lourdes. His Office seems
a fountain of life where the diseased and
discouraged drink new hope, new health,
and new happiness, and every day, pa
tents returning to their homes, rejoice
that they were led to him and had suffi-
Gent faith to place their cases in his hands.

science, that is. SO to speak. the hand

power and skill of this able specialist. 1t

Cases Of years standing. battling the

which have b.tn pronounced incurable,

an idea of the great work going on.
