Of my life.
I suddenly came to . very arm de-
termination ! would rather die and
be thrown overheard than have my
leg cut OF. even at the price Of saw
ing my life. No matter what hap
.pened, ! would not have this opera
tion done.
Having arrived at this decision, my
mind seemed to clarity and I began
to wonder IL there might not be
something which would cure me,
something which had not yet tried.
1t is we'll, in the time of a crisis such
as this. for one quietly to control
himself and ito give the mind q
chance to work unhampered by fear
and irresolution. -
Suddenly, there appeared in my
mind the picture Of q dear old fam

most miraculous cures. As thought
Of this man. 1 recalled the case Of a
young lad who had very badly In
fected foot.
In fact. believe that gangrene
had set In and his case was consid-
ered hopeless by all doctors except
this particular man.
He would not consent. to amputa-
ting the foot, but advised the boy to
go to brook nearby and to hold the
injured member In the clear stream
Of running water. Exactly how long
this treatment was continued I do
not know. but quite well remember
that an absolute cure was effected,
and made up my mind. that would

I asked the carpenter to hx me mp

The carpenter willingly consented
to fix up this apparatus for me. and
soon found myself installed on
little istooI with my leg properly
placed. In The barre1;r 1 had the rum

worth. As the doctor was coming
of the next morning to have another
look at my leg. and would prob
