Gently it augured that something ont Of
the usual line had happened to him. Such
was indeed the case. Mr. Ilotchkiss eX-
plains as follows why he preferred 'ho
railing to the stairs:

| began to grow worse, the pain became
more severe, and my ankle gradually
swelled up until it seemed as If the flesh
would burst. 1t was almost impossible for
me to lie in bed, and the least noise or ct
tempt to move me would cause me the
greatest agony.

have some kind of change, and SO ! was

two months, suffering more than words

Mr.. IIotchkiss' residence iii Peoria is at
No G10 Hancock street. Greatly as he
regrets the loss of three months valuable
time, not to speak of all the suffering and
mental anguish he endured, he feels that
there is some slight compensation in the
fact that he was made acquainted with a
medicine which can cure rheumatism and
rob that disease Of all its terrors. Mr..
Hotchkiss, it is almost needless to state,
has never had occasion to repeat his ride
On the railing.
