the war as private, sergeant and hospital
steward Of Company c. 2Sth Pa. Volunteers.
AS a result of an attack of typhoid fever in
Ga his kidneys became affected and this
finally developed into spinal disease which
lasted through his army service. In '66 he
was mustered out and entered Jefferson
Medical College, Phila., as a student from
which he graduated two years later. The
remainder Of the story is best told in his own
words;
cone day. after I had graduated, was
lying on a sofa at my home in Manayunk,
when / felt q cold sensation in my lower
limbs as though the blood had suddenly left
them. When ! tried TO move them | was
horriied 40 the discovery that l was para
lysed from my hips TO my toes. The p0ral-
ysis was complete and pin or a pinch Of
the flesh caused no pain. J could not move

Of Philadelphia lie made an exhaustive
examination Of my case, and announced
that my trouble was caused by inlamma-
tion Of the spinal cord, and that ] would
likely have another stroke Of paralysis. I
consulted Or. I. w. Gross and DR. Pancoast,
Of Jefferson College, Philadelphia, and Dr.
Morehouse, OF Philadelphia, with the same
result

it was not long before l was walking around
