4 SLIDE DOWN THE BGNIsTERs.

Sliding down the hanisters, though a
swift auI delightful way of getting down
stairs, is not popular method of descent
except among BOYS Of the hobbledchoy
age. When, therefore, Mr.. Dolph IiotchkiSs,
& solid citizen Of Peoria, Ill, adopted that
style of coming down from his room re-
Gently it augured that something out Of
the usual line had happened to him. Such
was indeed the case. Mr.. llotchkiss eX-
plains as follows why he preferred the
railing TO the stairs:
" 1t was last winter, during the month
of December. One evening after getting
home from the store was taken with Il
severe pain in my ankle. 1t felt at first
as if had sprancd it, ! was up stairs
when the trouble first came on and
wanted to 90 down. The pain, however,
had increased SO that found that it was
impossible to walk down the steps, and SO

] 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 at
tempt to move me would cause me the
greatest agony.
after being in bed a month | could not
stay there any longer. felt that | must
have some kind OF a change, and so | was

two months, suffering more than words

Mr.. Hotchkiss' residence in Peoria is at
No. Go 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 {
medicine which can cure rheumatism ano
rob that disease Of all its terrors. Mr.
Iotchkiss, il is almost needless to stat,
has never had occasion to repeat his rid
