bered some of the most eminent physicians.
In January, 1898, Mr. Stout was stricken
with what was then believed to be sciatic
rheumatism, and in a short time was barely
able to hobble around on crutches, and it
seemed to his friends that his days were
numbered. To-day he is a strong, hearty
looking man for 100 puonds
How this wonderful change was brought
about is .lost interesting as told to repre-.
sentative of the Republican by Mr.. Stout
himself:
~ was afflicted with sciatic rheumatism
and lumbago in January, 1893. The sciatio
nerve on the right side became affected in
the hip, running down to the ankle and
across the smal. Of the back to the left side,
and soon my whole system became afflicted,
causing me the most excruciating pain. In
very short time 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 flat
on my back, the slightest movement causing
me such pain as almost to throw me into
commissions. Icannot begin to express to
you the intense pain suffered / was drawn
by the severeness of the malady, over to the
left side; lost my appetite, had no desire fol
food, and what little did eat could not di
gest, the digestive organs failing to perform
their duty, adding greatly to my already pre-
carious condition. For weeks at time
was unable to eat or sleep, suffering all the
time most intensely and at times fearing
would lose my reason, and would have wei
coined death to relieve me OF my sufferings
II consulted with local physicians an(
some of the most eminent specialists of thu
larger cities throughout the country, somt
treating me for one thing and some for an
other, but without effect, and received nc
elief whatever. One physician told me
had double curvature of the spine and would
eventually become paralyzed. Ispent hun
dreds of dollars in the short time l wa!
afflicted without receiving the least benefit
