to have pain In my back and legs and became
conscious that my legs were getting weak
and my step unsteady, and then staggered
when walked. Having received no benefit
from the use OF patent medicines, and feeling
that was constantly growing worse, then.

pads and all the many different kinds OF
hundreds of dollars for them, but they did
me no good. (Here Mr.. QUAINT showed the
journal reporter an electric suit of under
