amazed at the great good Calderwood's

Fannie. She was afflicted in her feet

for several weeks, but the girl grew
worse, and SO / sent $5 to the office OF
Calderwood's Rheumatism Cure, on the
corner of Market and Fourth streets, and
soon a messenger came back with three
bottles OF the remedy, which she began
using, and before the medicine ives gone
she had thrown away her crutches, and
is now sound and well.
