Tho family physician thought It wa caused by a pleco of broken glass or needle, but failed to brlaganythlas to light. T&e child becamo feebler all the tune, seemlaj to less the use of her Its. aad finally quit walk. In? entirely. Tho middle fln$er aad thumb of cither hand became enlarged, the fleah be coming hard. Tho alp joints became Involv ed, so that when seventeen months old aha could not stand, baring lost the use of leg and arm. Partial curvaturo of the spina also followed. The nervous system was wrecked, muscles contracted, and there was general wasting of flesh and muscle. At eighteen months of age she wa3 placed under the treatment of a prominent physician of Bos ton, Mass., bat at the end of ten months she had declined to such a degree that she was In a dying condition. This was In April, 1333 Wo took tho child away not knowing what to do. In this dreadful dilemma we wera over-persuaded by friends to try "one bot tle" of S win's SrEcinc, which we did, and bef ore It had all been taken we saw a change for tho better In her symptoms. We kept It up, and have done so to this day, and will keep It up. If the Lord wills, for many days to come, for It has brought our dying Hasel to life, to vigor, to strength and health again. The ashen hue of her cheeks has changed to a rosy tint. She Is able to walk anywhere, her laaguor and melancholy have passed away, and sho Is now a blithe, cheerful, hap py romping child.
