A LEGISLATORS STORY.

The peculiar pollticai changes which
have occurred in Michigan wi.n the
past few years, causing il to lie n erred
from the list OF surely Republican ties 10
that of doubtful ones, give Il sea-, e IN
terest to a story told by Mr.. III. j. T. i, ION,
Jr., OF Verona, Silat State, an ea lsinver
OF the Michigan lie isluture. M. Lud-
ington, who is one OF erona Mas most
progressive citizens, was elected TO the
Legislature by an appreciative constitu-
ency some six years. That Mr.. l1uing-
ton has not figured largely in = lid lie
since he returned from the State pital
is due to a peculiar concattninn of
circumstances that aptly mas to by
what apparently trivial matters p, iticl
career may he made or unhaue:
"The second day of AZ II. 1879" in
the honorable gentleman wcGs, was
very hot day, and ale II hot dinner and
got very warm. i got into my b after
dinner and started toward \ erna Mills.
i had driven about three miles wien met
a Northwest wind and hail stoim. got

/ reached there felt sick. l went to bed
and my wife made ne some gin or tea.
but not enough to sweat me. Tie next
morning pain, sharp and piercing as a
knife, caught me in the ankles ana could
scarcely step. The next day | could not
walk at ALL We did everything we could
think of, with wormwood and vinegar,
smartweed and other remedies, brt with
no good effect. Neither my wife nor 1
could discover what the matter was.
''ln three or four days | could not stir
I..l A 4
who said that | had rheumatism of the
worst kind. lie relieved me a great deal
and drove out the pain wherever it caused
swellings. got better in six months and
was able to walk little, but the disease
settled in my ankles and continued to
trouble me. Last October (lSS4) ! began
taking prescription which the doctor
said would drive the swelling out of my
ankles. In November the rheumatism be-
gan to scatter, first to my toes, then to my
hips and back and all over me. / then
quit taking the medicine. as / was getting
worse / tried everything in my efforts
to get better, but continued TO grow worse.
Finally could not turn over III bed and
it nearly took my life to draw long
breath. My wife had to put mustard
plasters on my breast and side to ease me
Sc that | could breathe.

18th of last May. sent for and got six
more bottles from Detroit. After taking
four of them the swelling has nearly all
gone, except in one of my ankles where L
was hurt last fall, and that is getting better
every day. Thank God for Athlophoros;
it has done everything for me-"
And all this long sickness came from
hot meal taken on warm day, followed by
a chill. IF Mr.. Ludington returns to public
