The people of Rich Hill. Mo-. and vicinity
have recently been startled By seeming
miracle CT healing. For years one of tho
best known men in Bates and Vernon coun-
ties has been Marx NJ. Woodson, now post
master at Panama, and brother of ex-State
Inspector of Mines &. G.. Woodson, of this
city. The people of Rich Hill, where he
formerly resided, and of his present home,
remember well the bent form, misshapen
almost from the senbiance Of man, which
has painfully bowed its head half to earth
and la5o-ed snail-li!le across the walks
season after season, and when one day last
month it Strengthened to its full height,
threw away the heavy butt OF cane which
for years had been its only support from
total hciplcssnes5, and walked erect, firmly,
unhesitatnE.y about the two cities. PEG pie
looked and wondered. The story of the re-
rnarkable case has become the marvel OF the
two counties. Exactly as MIR. Woodson told
it to a Times reporter, it is here published:

and constant agony than have since 1854
The rheumatism started then in my right
knee, and after weeks of suffering in bed
was at last relieved sufficiently to arise but
IL was only to get about on crutches for FIVE
years, the ailInent having settled in the
Joint. Despite constant treatment of the
mos. eminent physicians the rheumatism
grew worse, and for the last four years /

81, after the rheumatism had settled into its
most chronic form, l went to Kansas City
upon advice of my brother, and for six
weeks was treated in one of the largest
and best known diSpensaricS of that city,
but without the slightest improvement.

None of them would take my case with any
hope of affording ne more than temporary
relief, and 50 I came home, weak, doubled
