usual symptoms found in extreme
cases were reported - excessive
dropsy, enlarged heart and towards
the last the patient could only sleep

in a chair, Lawton had a cousin. Mrs.
w e. Hoover of Auburn who also
had an advanced case OF BrlGht'S Dis

times when she heard of Fulton's

covery This interested Lawton in
the treatment and it resulted in his
recovery also. He Is a Mason.
