Neck\ Very desirable Ties?al ? Dog Absorbed Her Rheumatism. Baltimore American. ft .Mrs. O. S. Nelson, of I his city, was H cured of a very severe ease of rheu- El matisni recently in a very peculiar g manner. ? She had been so sadly affected with this ailment in one of her arms that she could not sleep nights, and was greatly distressed. After trying j various remedies and applying var- | | ions liniments, she had about given VI up hope of being cured when relief B E came to her in an unexpected man- " ner. She had a little dog which sometimes slept by her side in the bed, and she found that the pain was greatly lessened by resting her arm against the dog's body. She persist ed in this, and noticed that the pain I | grew constantly less. Eventually the RJ rheumatism left her arm completely, and appeared to go into the body of the dog, as it became" ill, and seemed to suiter great pain, and was finally killed to relieve it of its misery. Mrs. Nelson believes that the rheu- II j mat ism went from her arm to the ||( dog, and gives the little animal the credit for curing her of her ailment.
