OF the list Of the many so-called incura-
of an enigma to the most learned and ac-
complished physicians than locomotor
ataxia, or as it is more commonly known,
creeping paralysis. This dread disease has
bafied their skill, and they have been
forced to admit that they cannot success
fully cope with it. All they have been able
to do is to mitigate the accompanying pain
and suffering; beyond this the science Of
medicine has been OF little or no avail to
the many unforunates who have con-
tracted the dreadful melady, which, many
people, especially those who are thus af-
fiicted. believe Is q forerunner OF the grim
messenger Of death.
Thomas P. Bigg, who lives at No. 1918 st..
Clair Street, corner Of Lawrence Street,
Cleveland, O., has been suffering from
locomotor ataxia for nearly five years, aad
nothing but his wonderful vitality has pre-
vented his dissolution long before this.
The malady is directly attributable to his
exposure during army Iife He enlisted in
the Third Regiment Ohio Cavalry in To-
ledo, and served nineteen months in the
volunteer service, and after the close OF the
rebellion eighteen months in the regular
army. "At first" he said in narrating his
experience, my stomach went back on me
and for six weeks I was laid up in hospt'
tai in Texas. Ever since that time that OF.
gan has caused me trouble, and ABOUT
seven years ago the doctor told me I was
suffering from acute indigestion. That
was bad enough, but four years ago last
July paralysis came on, and l have been
using these crutches ever since. The pa
ralysis was in my legs, and it came rather
suddenly. I noticed at first that my knees

feel that will be soon.
"what effect have the pills had upon
your stomach?" Mr.. Bigg was asked. "As
| regards that" said he, "you can readily
believe that stomach which has been seri-
ously out Of order for thirty-fye years Is In
bad shape. Nothing used to stay on my
stomach, and I was subject to violent FITS
of biccoughing. Then would have to take
an opIate to get to slesp. But now find
that food stays on my stomach, though
do not suppose that organ will ever be II
