of a striking illustration of this few
days since, which is given herewith:
Mr. Joseph Jacques is connected with
the Vermont Central railroad in the ca
paclty of master mason. He is well adj
yanced in years, with rudy complex
ion and hale appearance, while his gem
eral bearing is such as to instantly inn
press one with his strict honor and in
tegrity, Several years ago he became
afflicted with most distressing troubles
which prevented the prosecution of his
duties. He was languid, and yet rest
less, while at times a dizziness would
come over him which seemed almost
binding. His will power was strong
and he determined not to give way to
the mysterious influence which seemed
undermining his life. But the pain and
annoying symptoms were stronger than
his will, and he kept growing gradually
worse About that time he began to no

and il was by the greatest effort that he
was able to force his feet into them In
this manner several weeks passed by,
until finally one night, while in great
agony he discovered that his feet had
IN short while, swollen TO enormous
proportions. The balance of the nara
tive can best be described in his own
words. He said;
when my wife discovered the fact
that was so bleatod, she sent for the
doctor Immediately. He made most
careful examination, and pronounced

extended upward in my body. The top
of my head panied me terribly; indeed,
so badly that at times it seemed almost

fHlly cold, and oven when surrounded
with hot flannels and irons felt as if a
strong wind were blowing on them.
Next my right leg became paralyzed
This gave me no pain, but it was exceed
ingly annoying. About this time began
to spit blood most freely, although my
lungs were in perfect condition, and
knew it did not come from them. My
physicians were careful and untiring IN
their attentions, but unable to relieve
my sufferings. My neighbors and friends

Several years ago Rev. Dr. j. d. Ran
