Rheumatism that Cracked
the Swollen Flesh.
The Most Wonderful Cure from this Disease
in Modern Medical Annals.
Is There Anything to Compare in Misery and
Suffering With It..
From the Chronicle, Chicago, III.

II was four years ago next month that
Mrs. NJ. NJ Hoyt, who lives at 1929 Went
worth Avenue, came to Chicago. She was
at that time bed ridden, suffering from in.
fammatory rheumatism and not able to
raise her feet from the floor. One of the
best physicians in Chicago treated her here
three weeks but was unable to effect even
relief He gave up her case, believing
nothing could be done for her and that she
had but a few days to live.
In speaking of her sufferings and the re-
lief and permanent cure effected later she
says: "When was five years old | was
taken down with inhammatory rheumatism,
but after comparatively short time it pass
ed off, and | was free from all its symptoms
until | was fourteen years old. Then | had
another attack, of which | was cured, and
did not have sick day until four years ago
Christmas afternoon 1892.
II hat lived tweny-six years in Luding-
ton, Michigan, and fourteen years in Man
istee, Michigan, both towns being situated
OH the lake. The weather in both places is
even more damp, more raw and in winter
colder than it is here. In Manistee for many
years | conducted a dressmaking establish
ment which | carried on until | was taken
sick. | knew all the prominent people in
Manistee and it was hard for me to close my
business and leave all the people I had known
there for years. My four children, all of
whom are married, lived in other States.
One daughter lived in Chicago and being
advised to change climate | came here. The
attack on that Christmas afternoon came
without warning | was suddenly taken
with chils and rheumatic fever, which grew
worse day by day. Manistee physicians did
all they could for me, but was helpless in
bed until the end Of May 1898. The physi-
clans advised me to leave the shores of the
lake and especially Manistee. l took their
advice and came to Chicago.
Rheumatism was in my hands, my feet
and my head, in fact it was all over me be-
sides having heart failure. l could not

comb my hair, | was practically helpless at
the time | came to Chicago. Do you see all
those white scars on my hands? Well let
me tell you how got them. My hands be-
came fearfully swollen with the rheuma-
tism and were smooth and shiny just like a
piece of glass. The skin by the swelling
was stretched to such point that it burst

gave up my case and advised me to send for
my husband.

give me much longer to live. Instead |
went to one of my daughters who lives in the
southern part of indiana in Elnora, Davis
County, where her husband, Asa Hair, was
one of the prominent merchants. believed
the climate there, being away from the in
fuenccs of Lake Michigan might help me-
