scribed for me, and said it would be all right
in a few days; but instead Of getting better
! became worse. ] went 10 another doctor, but
had no relief / then tried different patent
medicines and porous plasters until my back
was all blistered but none seemed TO help me
any. ! became discouraged. and was almost
crazy with pain. ] could not sleep at night,

One day / happened TO pass your place Of busi-
ness on State street, and noticed a Shove
with Electric Belts and other things. 1 took
a good look at them, but did not believe in
them, and kept on IN misery. About a week

thing like that everything has failed, maybe
it might do me some good j wrote to you,
