ANIDROSIS.
Marshalltown. Ia. Feb. 3. 10

Marshalltown, Ia, Feb. 5, 1901.
Dear DR.. Conant:
| write at this time to express my
Joy over the victory being won by the
lady worked 50 pleadingly with to
try Anidrosis for inflammatory rheu-
matism. When she finally began she
was entirely faithless and helpless in
hands and feet, with knees fixed in
drawn position. | haven't seen her
since she began, until yesterday, l
was delighted over her Improvement.
She uses her hands quite we'll and
walks with canes already. Her knees
greatly improved with limbs nearly
straight. At the present progress
she will soon be upon her feet again,
after long discouraging treatment by
several physicians, with no improve
ment. She has gained in flesh and
complexion. Mrs. S. J. Fullmer.
Meridian, Conn.,, Feb. %, '01.
Kind Benefactor:
know that you will be glad to hear
of my happy progress toward health
by Anidrosis. 1t is just one week
today since l took my first bath, hav-
ing now taken fourteen. l wish you
could witness the improvement. 1t
is almost like raising the dead. Since
my husband died two years ago,
have been constantly failing in
health. | could not bear food enough
to keep up strength. No appetite for
two years with steady downfall OF
health and strength. can now eat a
good dinner and digest it. No medi-
cines have ever taken has done me
particle of good, but this short trial
has done wonders in restoring
strength to limbs almost paralyzed
You must be a happy doctor in re-
ceiving such grateful manifestations
from those whom you restore to health
by your wonderful invention. My
gratitude goes out to you and God who
has blessed your great struggle with
opposition, which you must have met
Sister has taken has taken her first
degree in Anidrosis and is happily
surprised with it's life giving luxury

though married, built separate estab- lishment for his wife, while his writ ings are interlarded with the most ex- treme and revolting pictures of the married state. He Is, however. only a counterpart of numberless men, whose coarse and brutal selfishness will thus array itself against the generosity of a gentle and higher nature found in communion with the opposite sex.
 Men of this type are equally averse to society in general, as their souls are so shriveled that they suspect, if they do not actually hate everybody. They cannot believe in such thing as sin cerity, except the sincerity of unadul- terated selfishness. They have no faith whatever in good or disinterested motive. As a consequence also, they are thorough cynics. which naturally arises from isolation, rejection of com panionship, want of sympathy and hope, as well as the want of belief in their fellow men. In this respect. they may be said to be lower than the brute, as the most vicious anLrG al has 8 love for it's kind. This cla: of mankind would find it impossib' n extricate themselves from such unhappy thralldom, if they so desired. Like the
