and frequent making of water, but gave Il
no thought until about the time stated.
when the almost constant desire TO make
water became uncomfortable. The pain in

me so lame at times that | could scarcely
walk. j consulted one OF the best doctors
I'm this city, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de
irving the least benefit. l then consulted
from time to time, during the last five or
six years, six other physicians, each one
standing i'm the front rank of the medical
profession in New Orleans, and though l
sometimes was n little relieved of some
excruciating suffering, yetupon the whole
l was no only no better, but i'm many re-
spects much worse. My limbs became so
swollen and sore that l could not cross
my legs when sitting on n chair-all Of

that he was driving a one.horse bug

he was acquainted with, aud who
were n little intoxicated and rot in
the road of the buggy, one of the
wheels struck one Of the men and
knocked him down and the wheels
