Few men are held in higher esteem
BY their fellow townspeople than Jas
W. Stout of Riply, Ill, and 1t Is que,
no doubt, partly to this popularity that
the record of the case has created such
widespread interest. While his ex-
perience is not without an equal, set
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
stricken with what was then believed
to be sciatic rheumatism, and In a short
time was barely able to hobble around
on crutches, and 1t seemed to his
friends that his days were numbered.
To-day he is a strong, hearty looking
man Of 16O pounds.
