Az IA well known by many Of the people
Of Alpena county, Mrs. Jas. M. Todd, Of
Long Rapids township has been great
sufferer and cripple for many years with
that terrible affection, rheumatism. Some
two years ago we became somewhat inter
ested in Mrs. Todd's case, and, in common
with Alpena people, rejoice that this great
sufferer has at last found relief and is now
in a fair way to a permanent cure. Knowing
Of the substantial benefit Mrs. Todd had
received, and that she was at last regaining
her health and strength, we sought to hear
her story from her own lips, and here give it
to our readers, in her own language.
"As you know, my name is Mrs. Jas. NJ.
Todd, and for the benefit of suffering hu-
mainly | wish, through the ARGUS, 10 tell
the world at large what may seem to them,

air would blow directly on me. Thus |
lived and suffered for two years, when the
affection left my arms and went directly TO
my feet. Again | was taken 10 doctors, and
they said I had iniammatory rheumatism
in it, worst form. Ny feet were so swollen
that il was impossible for me TO wear any
thing upon them, my hands were drawn out
of shape, and | could only sit up few
minutes at time and often wished death
would end my suffering.
"Then another year of misery, doctoring
all the time, and using every remedy
could hear OF, when. as a last resort, went
TO Ann Arbor where | could have the
advice of not only one, but many physicians.
They pronounced my trouble infiammatory
and muscular rheumatism. SAID it was
