There are but few classes OF men in the United
states whose calling subjects them 10 sudden
changes OF temperature that at times will vary
In degrees that reach into the hundreds Boiler
inspectors, probably have more Of this 10 con-
tend with than any other single class OF men in
the country and they, sooner or later feel the
effects of IL and not a small number Of them
have died at an age when they should really
begin TO enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Paralysis OF the spine is one of the fruits OF an
expert knowledge Of steam boilers. In the
coldest season Of the year. the expert is required

Insurance Company. About two years ago he
began TO suffer with pains In the small Of his
back. but at FIRST paid but little attention 70 IL
thinking that II was nothing more than q

| tism. He went about his work rs usual ana
the pain became more intense. Finally he be-
came so bad that he could scarcely use hss
limbs at all
He called in Or. Narick OF jersey City who
after a thorough examination refused point

consult Prot Corning. OF New York. Mr. Bird
acted on the suggestion without delay and

through a rigid examination. Prof Corning
told Mr.. Bird that his spine was afflicted ana
that science could not help him.
