Guwrs—I want to give you and the suffering people four country an idea of the cura. tive power of yout wonderful Electric Belt. Aboud the frst of June, 1686, I got a pain in my legs, feet, hipsand arms. I doctored heavy, but still got worse dally; the only way I cot any relief was by using morphine day and night. J suffered terribiy for tour months, when it got a little milder, but I wag not able to de any work until December following, and then I was only abie to crawl around iike «4 snail until May, 1887. I got worse again; the pain got worse every day. About the middle of June my right arm got peralyzed; I could not move 16. I disheartened and pray ed to God to take meaway from the pain and misery. Iwent ina buggy to a mineral spring daily for two months. I thought that belped me for awhile, but to be again disappointed. Horror! then the left arm got almost as bad asthe right one. lused more medicine in two years than $300 (three hundred dollars) would purchase at retail in any drug store. 1 have been Dbiistered from the small of my beck to my heel. That seemed to help me some. This stil] continued to torture me, I thought I was the most miserabie beimr en earth. Lcould not rest nicht er day. I wes sleeping some of the doctors that waited on me told me the Medical Assoeiation of Moberly invited me to come te their meeting if I pessibly could. I managed to go. Imeta nomber of fine gentlemen there. They could do nothing, as those doctors that waited on me had tried everything they new. Finally I was Delplees wreck. Even the third finger eof both bands bent inward and would not stay straight lik the others. At times I thought death would be the only remedy I would Wer get. I halloced and cried like a child. Iwascrazy at times. My liver was in a terrible Gx. I had to take salts every few days. I could not get a passage only when I took a dose of salts large enough for two men. and then It poor passage. Isaw belts and pads sdvertised, so I sent for one to New York. They guaranteed te cure me in thirty days. I wore it scoording to directions. I found no more eleétricity in it than a piece of pasteDboard. [ saw the Owen Belts advertised for a long time, but thought they were like the others I dad worn. I sent for a pamphiet, and saw testimonials in it with the address of the parties cured in it. Nothing like the other Electric Book. They got the initials of thousands of people, but all thousands of miles away, so you might as well look fora needle in a haystack as for one of those that had been cured by any ef those other belts, so I concluded to buy one of the Owen Belts, Isent fora No.4 deln. I think 1 wore it firsé on the 29th dav of June, 1688, and I found it bens - Sting me from the frst time I wore it. I got iam diate relief. Iwas so greedy to get well that I wore itso strong that it burned me very severely, but I kept on wearing it strong. The pain left me, my appetite got better, my bowels got regular and my general health improved, The worse pala sow was in my hip and the calf of the left leg. I get a pair of Dr. Owen's Electric Insoles and they took tt out of my legs. Remember my arms were paralyzed yet and I could not straighten up, I was deut double with backache. The lst of October, 1888. the most of my misery faded away and 1 became myself again, and now, thank God, ana the Owen Electric Belt Co., I consider I am well, though still wearing the belt. My arms areas well es ever they were, but still I am afraid ef tt; but to show the suffering hamanity the power of this wonderfai belt, one of my boys, 15 years old. dad the toothace bad; we tried tincture of opium; nething seemed to do him any good. I charged one of tne batteries and put one end on the cheek that ached, with the other end on the other cheek; in de minutes the pain dis appeared. To show my gratitude, I hope every suffererin the world will and your belt and app ance. Any person doubting can address me. Everyd body in Moberly knows me.
