Legs-How He Was Cured.
(Fiom the San Francisco Chronicls.)
NJ. f. Douglas, a young man who owns
and runs a harness shop out at 26l2
Mission street, in this city, tells tale
of a remarkable cure of rheumatism al
ter he had suffered for several years,
and had almost given up hoping that it
could be cured. That Mr.. Douglas
cure is permanent is amply demon
strated by the fact that it was effected
two years ago, and rheumatism has not
troubled him at all since that time.
1t was in regard to his recovery that
Chronicle reporter called upon Mr.. Doug
las few days ago. The young man
told the following story:
"About four or five years ago l began
to be much troubled by severe pains in
my feet and ankles, and it annoyed me
so greatly that l could only keep at work |
with difficulty. l began to think that
was standing on my feet too much, and
would have to manage to do easier work.
| was in a harnessmaker's shop then.
About that time l read of disease of
the feet which is contracted in the Ger
man army. l decided that l had the
same disease, and read up the remedies
used for it and tried them. OF course
they did no good. | then tried hot
water bathing, and also used mustard
water. | got some relief from the bath
ing, but it was only temporary and my
trouble was constantly increasing. At
} last went to physician, and he gave
me prescription but it did no good.
was now so badly off that the acute
, pain had gone up beyond the calves of
my legs. l used to have to sit down
very often, and frequently when l would
try to stand up l would fall right over.
completely lost power over my feet
and legs, and was almost paralyzed
; Finally determined that l would have
| to let the disease wear itself out.
"You see we are all natives of Canada.
