from the sores was almost continual, and
was unable to walk. For eight years
have been doctoring. ! had been under
the treatment Of physician at Newport,
KY, for year; another at Burlington, O.,
attended me for three years and doctor

a long time. None of them did me any
good, and they all finally said my case
was hopeless. A few months ago COM

performance of the will of God.
