THE REARKABLE EXPERIENCE OF
A RHEUMATIC SUFFERER.
All But Paralyzed-Lost His Flesh
and Expected to Die-HOw He Got
Well and strong.

(F'rom the Mt. Sterling, ILL.,, Republican,
Few men are held in higher esteem
by their fellow townspeople than Jas.
w. Stout of Ripley, ILL.,, and it is due
no doubt partly to this popularity that
the record of the case has created such
widespread interest. While his expert
ence is not without an equal. yet, it has
been sufficiently remarkable to demand
the attention of thousands of people in
Illinois. among whom are numbered
some Of the most eminent physicians.
In January. 1893, Mr.. Stout was strick-
N with what was then believed to be
sciatic rheumatism, and in a short time
was barely able to hobble around on
crutchcs. and it seemed to his friends
that his days were numbered. To-day
he is a strong, hearty looking man Of
160 pounds.
How this wonderful change was
brought about is most interesting as
told to a representative of the Republic
can by Mr.. Stout himself:
Il was afflicted with sciatic rheuma-
tism and lumbago in January. 1893.
The sciatic nerve on the right side be-
came affected in the hip. running down
to the ankle and across the small of the
back to the left side, and soon my
whole system became afflicted. causing
me the most eXcruciating pain. In a
very short time I became totally unable
to attend to any business whatever, and
the disease rapidly growing worse I
had to take to my bed, where I lay srf-
fering almost continuously for months
the most agonizing torture. scarcely be-
ing able to move or be moved. At one
time l lay for six weeks fiat on my
back, the slightest movement causing
me such pain as almost to throw me
into commissions. I cannot begin to *
press to you the intense pain l suffered.

malady, owe to the left side: lost my
appetite, had no desire for food. and
what little 1 did eat I could not digest,
the digestive organs failing to perform
their duty, adding greatly TO my al
ready precarious condition. For weeks
at a time I was unable to eat or sleep,
.uffering all the time most intensely and
at times fearing I would lose my reason,
and would have welcomed death to re.
lieve me of my sufferings.

some of the most eminent specialists OF
the larger cities throughout the country
some treating me for II thing and
some for another, but without effect
and I received no relief whatever. One
physician told me that I had double
curvature of the spine and would even
tually become paralyzed. I spent hun
