made a queer mess Of his investigation Of

Wonderful.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept. 25th, 1880.
Very seldom do we read of an actual
case of recovery, where hope had Alto
gether been lost to parallel that which
was Monday investigated by Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
tiers persons talking to their friends of a
cure, seemingly little short of marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera-
tion, are these, as they were learned from
the mother of the young man, his pastor
and other persons well known in the COM
munity:
William Lincoln Curtis is the name
of the young man in question. He is now
employed at H. K. Porter g. Co.'s loco
motive works in Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, of cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into a
violent form of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
months the elbow and knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged
In March last the cheek bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
larly, spreading his face out of all resem-
blance to his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense; fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the semblance of
a skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
rcs~,hle condition, and his sufferings were of
such an indiscribable character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would be
better if he was called away: At this time
physicians well known in Pittsburgh informed
his parents that they could give no hopes of
recovery.
that wonderful medicine, PERuNA. In two
weeks quite a change for the better, was per-
eeptible. In six weeks all the enlargement had
been reduced completely, while in spirits and ,
ever been in his life. Nearly three weeks ago
he resumed work as machinist at his old place,
able to perform as much labor as ever' his life
:. The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating all
these facts, said Indeed, can not look upon
the cure much less than as a miracle. / do not
hesitate in sounding the praise of PERuNA, and
in recommending it to all my friends 81 von,
