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.
