What Cured Little Stanley Michel Of Chorea.
From the Republican-Journa,, ooden,our0, NJ y

A letter was lately received at the office Of
the RepubiiednJowndI from Hammond to
the effect that the cure of an extraordinary
severe case of st. Vitus' dance had been
effected on the person of little Stanley Nichol,
the eight-year-old son Of Mrs. Charles Nichol
Of that village.
reporter was accordingly dispatched in
that direction who after some inquiry, found
Mrs. Nichols residence about mile outside
the village. Mrs. Nichol said:
"a little over year ago my boy Stanley
Nichol, who is now only eight years old
alarmed me one day by being taken with a
strange gurgling in his throat. After the
frst the attacks became quite frequent.
Stanley did not complain of any pain, but
said that he could not help making the noise.
At that time there was New York doctor
stopping in the village who was specialist
on throat and nasal diseases. | took my son
TO him and after q careful examination he
said that there was nothing the matter with
the boys throat. The gurgling in his opinion
was caused by q nervous contraction of the
muscles Of the throat. He asked who our
family physician was and said that he would
consult with him before he prescribed.
"Stanley rapidly grew worse. He was
always sickly boy. One day / noticed
that he was jerking his arm up in q very
peculiar manner. A few days later he
seemed TO lose control Of his legs, first one
and then the other would be pulled up and
then Strengthened out again. He was per
feet bundle of nerves and was rapidly losing
all control Of himself. When eating at the
table or drinking, his arm would often twitct

his head and rolling his eyes up so that only

family physician who prepared some medi-
cine for him. He took 1t and commenced to
improve. The dose, however, had to be in

don't blame the boy for not wishing to take 1t.
"Our physician went to New York city on

The bridge was torn up undergoing

previously been enjoined from using
the structure.
The circuit court at Findlay sus-
tanned the latter injunction, and the
