The neople Of Rica HILL No. and vicinity
have recently been startled by a seeming
miracle o. healing. For years one OF the
best known men in Bates an Vernon couG-
ties has been Marx NJ. Woodson, now post
master Of Panama. and brother OF ex-Slate
inspector OF Mines, @. c. woodson. OF this
city. Tho people OF Rich Hill. where he
formerly resided. and OF his present home,

threw away the heavy butt OF cane which
for years had been its only support from
total helplessness, and walked erect, firmly,
unhssitatingly about the two cities, people
looked and wondered. The story OF the re-
markable case has become the marvel Of the
two counties. Exactly rs Mr. Woodson told

The rheumatism started then in my right

About this time my attention was called
