F., The little city Of Hudson, Wis, beau
tifully situated on the banks of the St.
Croix, has become veritable Mecca for
hundreds Of criples whose homes
are turnout the northwest The curiosity
Of the stranger visiting this thriving city
Is bound to be aroused If he remains there
but a few hours. He notices the arrival
Of unfortunates by every train. His won.
der grows. He imagines for a moment
that this little city is most peculiar in its
physical make-up-so many lame and
crippled. Then he inquiries: s
What is the meaning of all this? Is
there a convention Of cripples in town.
Then the native Hudsonian smiles know
ingly and pities the strangers ignorance.
NO SIR" is the reply. Don't you
know that this town is the office head
quarters Of DR.. Arons, the Bone-Setter?"
And 1t dawns upon the stranger that he
has often heard Of the Bone-Setter, and
that, logically enough, Hudson should be
the Mecca for cripples.
Rose Villa is the name Of the beauti-
full home that has been converted into the

All one has to do, to get some idea OF
the magnitude of the Bone Setter's work
Is to glance at a sort Of closet Of tor

This little room is piled high with Elm

suits, of his methods are startling to the
average layman.H They are almost mirac-.
ulous and there is no questioning their

hundreds Of testimonials Of his wonderful
