about is most interesting as told to repre-

and lumbago in January, 1893. The sciatic
nerve on the right side became affected In
the hip, running down to the ankle and
across the small Of the back TO the left side,
and soon my whole system became afflicted,
causing me the most excruciating pain. In
. very short time I become totally unable to
attend to any business whatever, and the
disease rapidly growing worse had to take
to my bed, where lay suffering almost con-
tinuously for months the most agonizing
torture, scarcely being able to move or be
moved. At one time lay for six weeks fat
on my back, the slightest movement causing
me such pain as almost to throw me into
commissions. Icannot begin to express to

left side; lost my appetite, had no desire for
food, and what little did eat could mot di-
gest, the digestive organs failing to perform
their duty, adding greatly to my already pre-
carious condition. For weeks 1t q time

some Of the most eminent specialists Of the
larger cities throughout the country, some
treating me for one thing and some for an
other, but without effect, and received NO

eventually become paralyzed. Ispent hum
