wonderful experiences with your prepara-

nize, much less use, preparations OF this
kind, consequently the body Of them have
no definite knowledge Of their virtue OF

absurd and unjust, and I, for one, propose
to give my patients the best treatment
known to me, for the particular disease
with which they are suffering, no matter
what it is, where or how obtained. was

Of erecting a large building during cold
weather, he contracted what was thought
to be sciatica. He first noticed it one
morning in not being able to arise from
his bed. After the usual treatment for
this disease he failed to improve, but on
the contrary grew rapidly worse, the case
developing into Hemiphlegia, or partial
paralysis Of the entire right side of the
body Electricity, tones and massage, ETC.,
were all given trial, but nothing gave any
benefit, and the paralysis continued In
despair he was compelled to hear his ply,

About shat time his wife noticed one OF
