All the right lo" from the hip to the ankle was affected, Occasionally I was rubbed with weak turps, or had flannels sprinkled with them put on. I would have | tho leg blistered from hip to calf, and the l skin was painted with iodine, but nothin" | gave me lasting relief. Tho leg was so bad that I could barely feel the hottest flannels -Many a time I could not get in or out of I nod by myself, and when there I would lie quite unable to move, and racked with pain It was impossible for me to close my eyes till the paroxysms eased a little.
