Gonzales, cOunty-seat OF Benton Co,
Oregon. 1 did not feel well all summer;
my knees, elbows and shoulders ached
so badly that / concluded to go home
the last Of August. One day, after reach
ing home, my wife was leading the
horses by the house and called me TO
see them. While looking at the horses
/ felt my knees getting weak. [ went
into the house and fell on the floor
When | came TO my senses l was on the
lounge and my wife crying. John McDan-
iels, our nearest neighbOr. was there. l
recovered somewhat through the day,
and In the evening ] walked 10 my bed.
That night about ten O'Clock / had an
other stroke of paralysis. The torture
that / went through is too horrible for
me TO describe. / was helpless. The
neighbors came in, DR.. Henrey, of
Brownsville, was sent for, and 1 made

plasters on my neck and down my back
and down the side Of my right Leg and

across onto il. I do not remember Of sleep
ing a wink for months. They used a

me no relief. 1 had them write to Dr.
