A SLIDE DOWN TIE RaEIsTERs.

Sliding down the banistcrs, though =
swim and delightful way OF getting down
ltairs, is not popular method Of descent
except among boys of the hobbledehoy
age. When, therefore, Mr., nolph IIotchkiss,
6 solid citizen Of Peoria, ILL.,, adopted that
style Of coming down from his room re.
Gently it augurcd that something out Of
the usual line had happened to him. Such
was indeed the case. Mr. Hotchkiss ex-
plains AZ follows why he preferred the
railing 10 the stairs:
" IL was last winter, during the month
OF December. One evening after getting
home from The store ! was taken with u
scyerc pain in my ankle. 1t felt at first
as il | had sprained ii. l was up stairs
when the trouble FIRST came on and I
wanted to 20 down. The pain, however,
had increased 10 that found that it was
impossible TO walk down the steps, and so
slid down the railing. From that night
began TO grow worse, the pain became
more severe, and my ankle gradually
sweiled up until it seemed as if the flesh
would burst. Ii was almost impossible for
me to lie in bed and the least noise or at
tempt 70 move me would cause Inc the
greatest agony.
@After being in bed month I could not

two months, suffering more than words

me any relief. A lady friend living in

the aid Of n pair of crutchcs went ont for
the first time in three months.

until had used four bottles. My pain

Air. lIotchEiss' residence in Peoria is Mt
No. Go Hancock street. Greatly as he
regrets the loss of three months valuable
time, not 20 speak of all the suffering and
mental anguish he endured he feels that
there Is some slight compensation in tho
fact that he was made acquainted with u
medicine which can cure rheumatism and
rob that disease of all its tcrrorS. Mr..
Iiotchkiss, it is almost needless to state,
has never had occasion to repeat his ride
