ROUTE OF MARCH.

The formation was In the order OF SEMI
ority OF date OF charter. with the excep-
ton OF Massachusetts. which. being the
entertaining department. took a position
at the left OF the column. The parade
moved from Arlington street 10 Beacon
street, up Beacon hill. past the state
house where II was reviewed by Gov.
John L. Bates. former Governor John ID.
Long and other distinguished persons.
Here from a great stand 2000 people In
clu6}ng state officials. members or the
Legislature and their friends. saw the pro-
cession from what was probably the most
advantageous position along the line OF
march. II was an inspiring spectacle as
the white-haired veterans bore up Beacon
hill marching slowly but firmly to the
strains OF famous martial music.
The best feature OF the state house posi-
ton was the large perspective which the
spectators could take in, the eye reaching
far down Beacon hill on the northwest
as the column OF blue swept up into sight
and then passing TO the southeast follow
ing the Grand Army as IL passed down
the other side OF Beacon hill on the way
to city hall on school street.

The fame of DR.. j. Alvin Horne is
positively unmatched in the state by
that of any other specialist There
is good reason for this-he cures the
most desperate chronic cases after
they have been abandoned by other
physicians as incurable, and his high
professional reputation is therefore
merited.
He treats certain class of diseases
and confines his practice to them
alone.
He Treats and Cures all Chronic
Nervous and Organic Diseases of Both
Men and Women.
His methods of diagnosis and treat
ment are scientifically in advance of
all ordinary methods in medicine and
surgery. He is master of all pelvic
weaknesses and diseases, as they
affect the male and female, and of
Neurasthenia nervous exhaustion).
Premature Decline, Catarrh in all it's
forms, Hemorrhoids (piles), and all
other Rectal Diseases, Rupture, Vari-
cose Veins, Affections of the Heart.
Lungs, Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, Blad-
der, etc. Women and men alike praise
him.
DR.. Horne may be seen and inter-
viewed personally.
