colors of the rainbow; and the Gey-

charm and awe-inspiring wonder.

necessarily be limited. and intending

he said:
For seven years I could not raise my
hand as high as my shoulder as a re-
suit of the fall. thought my shoulder
was out Of joint. but the doctors said
it was not. Still, they didn't help me
with all their medicine. Both arms and
hands were numb, and every time I
tried to raise the one 1t pained me very
bad.
"Yes, I tried all sorts of things for It.
but none Of them did me any good at
all and was discouraged. My wife
was troubled a good deal with rheu-
matisn in her shoulder and it was hard
for her to reach up to fix her hair or
dress herself. If she made Il mis- step
on uneven ground 1t gave her such a
pain that she could not speak for a
minute.
