form this task. Sissons body was fearful

A MASSACHUSETTS TOWN HEARS
AND WONDERS.
What n Miracle was ThereI Twisted
Limbs and "A Crooked Neck
Strui-ltenrd.
(FFom the Tauaton, Mass, Gdzette.)


Over in the town of Wrentham, Mass,
everyone is agog with excitement A child
who had been physically deformed for four
years, and who was the object Of the pity Of
the entire town, has had her limbs straight
encd out her head again made erect by the
strengthening of her neck, and is running
about t0wntnow with the freedom and aban-
don of any child.
Mary S. Fuller is the name of the little
cripple. Many Of our readers will remem-
Der her. She is but child Of eight years,
and has spent the past four years in bed,
hopelessly crippled. Rheumatic fever four
years ago attacked the nerves and cords of
her lower limbs and neck, so that the former
were drawn all out Of shape and twisted and
bent backwards in q pitable manner; and
the cords OF the latter were so tightened on
one side as TO draw her head down on her
shoulder. Her arms too, were helpless, and
neighbor's hearts bled 40 the little ones suf
tenng. The progress Of the disease reduced
her 10 o skeleton, and the poor mother has
almost given her own life for thatof the child,
in her untiring watching at the little ones
bedside -Four years Of watching four wears
Of waiting and at last the child began to
mend, her cords relaxed, her nervous system
gathered strength and power, and to-day, as
stated above, she is running about the town
vigorous and happy child. Wrentham re-
lolces, physicians applaud, and new methods
IN nerve treatments have been successfully
vindicnted. Formerly the surgeon would
have been called on in this case to straighten
the limbs. Now the idea is 10 work in har-
mony with nature so far as possible, and to
this end remedies are employed which assist
nature, supplying 10 the weakened parts the
chemical properties they need. For instance,
in the above case, DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People we've used, and effected the
cure easily and naturally.
The mother of the child said "She had
been given up by four doctors, whoMere GER
tain that they could not cure her. Why, she
couldn't open her mouth, and / actually had
