In speaking Of her sutfsrinss and the re-
lief and permanent cure effected later she
says: "When I was Ave years old I vas
taken down with inhsnunatOry rheumatism,
but after . comparatively short time il pass

One daughter lived in Chicago and being
advised to change climate came here. The
attack on that Christmas afternoon cama
without warning. l was suddenly taken
with chills and rheumatic fever, which grew
worse day by, day. Manistee physicians did
