The pain, continued to increase. and strangely the left leg was the one that caused the trouble. Three medical men were called in and adopted means to relieve and if poesmle cure the sufferer but it was not so to he. The pain was assuaged but his weakness increased and to the deep sorrow of his wife and family and sym- pathetic neighbors death intervened. M r.
