WINCHESTER (Kans.) 1890
About eighteen months ago | was attacked
with intiammatory rheumatism in a very
severe form, which soon spread to every
Jolut and muscle of the body, which soon
paralyZed my legs, arms and hands, and
made me as helpless as an infant. In this
condition lay for months, and my wife had
to feed me with spoon. The sufferings
which endured CAN NEVER BE ToID-it's
inexpressibie. About the 10th of January
last L was induced to try DR.. Kings Royal
Germetuer: At that time | was just mere
shadow Of my former self, could span my
leg above my knee. My limbs were con-
lr cted and l was as helpless as an infant.
IL was the undivided decision of four physi-
cans and all who saw me that would never
get Well-that would last but short time
at best, and that | was likely to die at any
hour. To-day can dress myself, walk
about With stick, preached twice on the
