Terrible &c was the disease, its after effects
were yet more appalling, as it sought out the
weaknesses of the constitution and left thou

A few days ago Courier erald represen-

Akron, Mich. met John l.. Smith, a veteran
Of the industrial army, on whose aged head
the disease had fallen, and he heard him tell
how he had suffered and what had given
him relief.
We can do no better than quote his own
words, which are as follows: About

with great difficulty.
This condition alternated with sweating
spells of great violence. There was an al
most continuous pain, and it would shoot
from one part of my body to another, with
great suddenneSs, and cause me intense suf-

in my legs, and again it would 60 to my
head and pain me in the eyes. 1t was SO in

preparations that were recommended 10 me,
but they did me no COOL. and my condition
was as bal and painful as ii was before
