ing no appetite hatever, she was reduced to al.
most skeleton SO violent were the pains that
she seldom cou sleep without taking large doses
OF opium. EvelN joint was sweled very much and
her knees, hands, and neck, covered with large
Jumps. She could do no kind of work, the sinews
and muscles being so hard and contracted that her
limbs were drawn together, so that she was obliged
to be IN bed constantly. In this condition she had
been for twenty years, without ever getting anyre
lief from every thing she used, until she com.
menced the use of II. G. FARRELL'S ARABIAN

great change She has now used five bottles and
the swellings have nearly all gone down; pain has

Strange Effects of the Touch OF q Cat

Mr. Lewis Webb in our town, QBuena Wis
Ia, Ga,) is strangely affected. For several
years he appeared paralyzed in his feet and
legs. For some time he went on crutches, but
for the last eight years has been walking with
"A stick He says he could drive II knife
through his foot and not feel it; that when he
strikes his foot against any object he knows
it. lust as he knows when he strikes a stick
against a substance, by the resistance offered
only, and not 10y the feeling He frequently
blISters his feet in walking, but knows nothing
of it until the bistcrs burst He bathes his
feet often-somctimes in cold, sometimes in
hot water. He cannot tell by feeling in the
foot whether water is hot or cold Thus he
has lived for eight years, sometimes walking
about and often in bed. When cat touches
his foot he instantly feels it, The touch OF a
cat against his foot, whether the foot Is bare or
with socks on, sends instantly prickly sensa-
tions all through the foot. He may be blind
folded, but can instantly tell the touch OF a
cat, however slight, whether day or night, and
expecting or not expecting the touch.-Bue"d
