Mr.. W. A. Alexander, an old expert
enced stockman, has been recently MI
raculously cured of a terrible attack OF
rheumatism, and because OF the great

forth by him, and will no doubt be OF
great interest to those suffering from that
terrible disease. Mr.. Alexander is man
OF middle age and quite portly. he mas
for years represented the Brown Brothers
& Ballinger Live Stock and COMMISSION
company Of Chicago. He was never serl-
ously Ill before, and is a man of remark
able physique and great physical strength.
On the 23d Of August, 1900, he was Sc
verely attacked with muscular rheuma-
tism, which rapidly grew worse, IN spite
OF the efforts of the physicians to retard
it's rayages. He was then at Clear Lake,
where he was spending short summer
vacation. Unable to endure the surfer
ing, and finding that the physicians could
do nothing to relieve him. he made Vlslt
to Colfax where he remained three weeks
with no beneficial result. The only APP
probable effect the trip had upon him was
to reduce his weight. He came back to
Clear Lake for a couple of weeks, hoping
that he might hear Of some way by which
he might relieve himself Of disease
which was rapidly becoming terror to
him, almost driving him insane. After
two more weeks of suffering he left for
Chicago to consult noted physician,
specialist In this particular disease. who
according to his story, gave him as much
as a pailful Of drugs, which he event
ually took according to directions The
result was anything but hopeful. Instead
Of improving, his system became more
run down, he became weaker and more
wretched every day, until finally he gave
up in despair, until some Of his friends
feared he would be driven to take hi:
life because of the unbearable pain tina
was constantly with him. He was unable
to remain quiet any length of time or

of his time making visits to different
points. On Dec 10, 1901, he returned
from his boyhood home In Dakota tt
Mason City, where he stopped at thu
Wilson Hotel. T. M. McNear, the pro
prietor, had suggested to him upon forme
visits that he believed, from experience
that Osteopathy would be of some goot
