IL was in the fan Of 1854 that Miss

/ Finally II turned into a most painful

the flesh clear down 10 the bone, leaving
a space around II the width OF a mans
\ hand, from which the flesh was entirely
l eaten away. She thea suffered the IN

/ Three prominent physicians and sur

put the suffering patient under the in

! Neither did this do any good. On the
| contrary, the sore got steadily worse,
while the sutferings of the patient can
/ better be imagined than described.
Then, as if this We're not enough, one
afliictlon followed another. After the
doctors had scraped the bone her leg
began slowly 10 draw up into the shape
OF square, and as no attention was
paid to the crooked limb it finally be-
came SO dcformed as TO form a right
angle at the knee. Inasmuch as they
could not heal the sore, the doctors de-

| straighten the leg. Nor did the
wretched young lady's troubles end
here. The following spring her throat
also became very much lntiamed and
sore. Ulcers appeared and did not
stop until they had eaten their way
| through TO the outside of her cheeks.
Inside her throat became so swollen
and liberated that she was unable to
swallow food of any kind. Her nose

until all that was left of it was a pale,

Meanwhile the three physicians who
had vainly endeavOred to stay the pro-
/ gTess of the terrible diseases that had
seized hold of her system-all of whom
were leading physicians in Mansfield
O.-had been compelled 10 acknowl-
| edge that they were absolutely HnpO-
tent to cure her, and at last had gwen
her up as an incurable and hopeless
case. ThereupOn she placed herself III

! and successful physlciansOf of Columbus.
He examined her carefully. particular

nothing whatever for her, IS her case

prominent and successful physician OF

and declared bimself equally unable to
help her. That the suffering woman
and her relatives and friends now well
