Mr.. John Lcahy. a well-known schools
teacher Of Sokomo, Indiana, makes the !oi-
lowing well written statement regarding
his illness from rheumatism and compii-
cation of diseases and subsequent cure:
"Thrcc years ago, when was 30 years
old, was attacked with rheumatism, &C.
accompanied with marked and increasing
disturbances of the nervous system, pains
In the head, nnd most serious OF all, symp-
toms OF organic heart trouble.
1.-The cardiac Inflammation increased as
the rheumatism progressed, and II was not
great while before the heart trouble as
sumed the chronic form. MY brain was
much disturbed and my physician was
alarmed, fearing meningitis, US tho nrticu-
lar inflammation diminished while tho
cerebral disturbance increased. But was
spared this additional iniliction. lam thank
full to say, for again tho Joints began 10

though It settled into a dull rheums ;io
headache. which no skill of tho physician
could relieve.

first afflicted. For thrcc years the disease
continued, during which time l was at-
tended by tho best physicians In the state,
some of whom nre considered ut the head
OF their profession In the west. These gen

how felt than l could myself, but their
remedies had no effect on me whatever.

cannot be described. Terrors by night and

did so and bought u supply.

two days whom began to get relief. First
Of ull my nervousness and that dull wicked
headache showed signs Of abating, then my
sore and painful joints grew easier, my
