PARALYSIS.

This trouble in all it's forms signifies
cessation Of nerve control In affected
parts. In cases Of complete paralysis
in which there is actual degeneration
of the brain or spinal centers, little
benefit may be expected. although even
in these cases osteopathy has done
more than any other treatment.
Where the paralysis is but partial,
however, showing that simply a GER
tain set of nerves or center is affected,
there is usually good hopes of recov-
cry under treatment.

spinal curvature that had scarcely
been noticed has been found to be
pressing upon nerves-the resulting
paralysis being completely relieved

fective part. Many cases Of complete

But at last, with six long-drawn sighs OF relieI.
we halted on the edge -of a marshy tract OF
land, where several square rods OF cattaiis
were dimly visible.
''Well, Phil, what are you going to do

"How are you going to plant the oats IN

If it had been daylight, some of us might

And we had to move on. The doctor was

A short walk brought us to the doctors res

All was as dark and quiet as a graveyard

pointing to an object that stood in the front

We quietly approached the venerable relic.

Four of us took hold of the shafts and the
other two pushed behind.
As softly as possible we rolled the heavy
vehicle out of the yard and started along the
road, bound for the triangle and the cat-tail

The village was situated on a long hill.
Eastward it sloped away. down to the Atlantic.
West and north it sloped down more gradually
into wide valley, containing chain of small
lakes, the scene of many fishing party

These three roads formed what was common

route along the valley lakes and through
stretches of shady woods.
Down the slope to the northward we pulled

over stones, and putting and painting in the
