which increased until il seemed my head
would burst, and ii caused n ringing III
my ears. and palpitation OF the heart set
In, SO that the slightest noise would set
my heart humping. Several times IL has
rendered me unconscious for from seven
TO ten hours M n time. In addition To this
the rheumatism extended MP my entire
side until il drew my head down on my
shoulder. i lost my strength and lesh
and was totally unfit for work. For
twenty-eight years | have consulted ply
sieians and taken their prescriptions
without deriving any material beneilt.
My ailments increased in intensity until
l was assured that there was no hope for
me. During last year | went into the
butcher business. but the dampness from
the ice used increased my rheumatic
pains to such nm extent that ] was not
only compelled 20 quit the business, but
was confined to my house and bed for
nearly six months.

chased a box. In a week | was astonished
to know that | felt better than ] had for
six months past, and before ] had used
half n box | was sure that | had found
a cure for my ailments. The ringing in
my ears began to lessen in volume and
hraliy left me. That was the first effect
! experienced aside from an increased APP
petite. The pain from the rheumatism
gradually left me, So that within one week
from the time ] took my first pill | WAS
able 10 sit up in bed. On January LIST,
! was able TO 90 out and walk around a
little. The palpitations of my heart en-
tirely ceased. On February y. | was SO
thoroughly cured that ! accepted a posi-
ton as night Waterman in the Forest
