occupation, until at length he had, by
reason Of his hard work and frugslity,
placed himself and family upon fair
way to prosperity. He had begun to
look toward to the enjoyment Of a
quiet, happy life upon the beautiful
islsnds Of the Pacific. and in his fancy
had built for himself and his family a
comfortable little home nestled snugly
among the deep and fragrant foliage Of

entirely deprived Of the use Of those
limbs. having to be carried about the
house by her husband for period Of
two months. She was treated for some
time by . physician, but he was able

} story is told in such plain, straight
forward manner that ii 10 given in her

limb of the left side of my body. The

relieved the paralysis. but after he had
applied all his remedies was still in
practically helpless condition. Before

until had used six boxes, when the
last trace Of paralysis had left my body
and had regained the full use Of my
limbs. You cannot imagine how de-
