i lie peculiar jiuiini.u viiaut hiiilu have oceiirred in Michigan within the past few yeara, causing it to be transferred from the list of surely Republican States lu thst of doubtful ones, give a seasonable interest to a story told by Mr. M. J. Lmüngton, .1 r., of Verona, tliat State, an ex-member f tlp Michigan liegislatiire. Mr. Ludington, who is one of Verona Mills' most jiiogressive citizens, was elected to the ],¦;; lila ture by an appreciative 'nstituciuy sonie six years. That Mr. Lndiftgtun ha-s not figured largely in public life liuee he returned from the State capital n doe to a peculiar concatenation of circumstances that aptly illustiat; by hat apparently trivial matters a political c amr may be made or unmade: "The second day of August, 1879," in the honorable gentleman's words, "was a vcry hot day, and I ate a hot dinner and f.-ot very warm. I got into my buggy afíer 'linner :ind Btarted toward Verana Mills. 1 had drivenabout three miles wben I met : Northwebt wind and hnil storm. I got a litlle wet and became chilled. I drovo on home, sixteen miles distant, and when I reached tbere felt sick. I went to bed and my wife made me some ginger tea. but not enough to sweat me. The next ínorning a pain, sharp and piereinp; as a tcnife, (KUKht me in the anklcs and I could ncircélj step. The next day I could not w;)]Ujtall. We (lid everything we could think of, with wormwood and vinecnr, praaTtweed and otber remedie, bul with no pood eflect. íveither my wife nor 1 i 'ulil diacoTcr what the matter was. "Intbreeor four dayi I could not stir nor turn in bed. A doctor was called in wbo H.-iid that I had rheumati-sm of the worst kind. He relieved me a great deal and drove out the pain wherever it raused svrelliogs. I got better in six montlis and was ablo to walk a little, but the Jijease settled in my anieles and continuetl to Iroiible me. Last October (1884) 1 began taking a presoription which the doctor suid would drive the swelling out of my iiiikles. In Norembertherheumatisin beeati to sratter, first to my toes, tben to my hipa and back and all over me. 1 then quit taking tlie medicine, as I was gettíñg worse. 1 tried everything in niv ellbrts to get better, but continued to grow worse. Kinally I could not turn over m bed and it nearly took my life to draw a long breath. My wite had to put mustard piasters on my breast and de to ease me bo that I could breathe. "I read an advertisement of Athlophoros in a religious paper published at Detroit, aqd though I had not nmcli t'aith in it I sent for a bottle. I thought I sbould die licti.re it arrived, so great was my pain. In tbirty-six hours after 1 had began takinL; the medicine I was cured of my i lieuniatism, have been able to sleep ever sinre, and have had no more pain. That was the 1 4th of last May . I sent for and got bi'x more bottles from Detroit. Altar takin;; four of them the swelling bas nrarlv all gone, except in one of my ankks when I was hurt last fall, and that ia gettmg better everyday. Thank God for AtWephoros ; it haí done everything for me." And all this long sickness carne from a hot meal taken on a warm day, followed by a chili. If Mr. Ludington returns to publ i ¦ ¦ life it may besafetosay that he will go around with a bottle of Athloph(iro a a cure for the physical evils from which m i even iegislators are exempt.
