Sciatic rheumatism fastened its fangs upon
him, incapacitating him for manual labor and
rendering him, much of the time, physically

BY, but his sufferings, with increasing age,
were increased rather than diminished. He
spent q small fortune for doctors medicine,
praying for even temporary relief, but it did
not come.
To-day he IL an alert, active man of fifty

parted, and while there are traces of his
years of suffering in his face he walks with
the soldierly bearing and springy step of a
