It was a peculiar nlllietion iio had, and his
cure was murvellous, his recovery n nine
teenth century miracle. And that others
may enjoy the blessings of the wonderful
medicine which beyond the neradventurc of
a doubt—under God's blessing—saving his
life, Mr. Foster—not desiring publicity but
with the hope of doing good lias eon*
vented to tell of his sickness and his cure.
It was in the full of 1KHL’ lie was taken ill.
lie was a farmer then, and hud spent theduy
exposed to the weather and working in the
field, und for five hours was in the mud, in a
stooping position. In a few days thereafter
ho had a peculiar feeling in 1'iis feet nnd
hands; they became numb and fell us if
asleep.
Hut, perhaps, It would he better to let Mr.
Foster tell his own experience, and this is
what lie says:
” Following the numbness of my feet nnd
hands, tlint numbness spread until niv whole
body was paralysed. I had a dreadful con
striction around niv body, and as I grew
worse this extended up.' cutting off my
breathing; it finally got within n few inches
of my throat and it was with difficulty <hut
I breathed at nil. At irregular intervals I
hail lightning pains throughout niv entire
body and limbs, nnd for at least five months
I was perfectly helpless, and a man servant
was kept in my room day and night to (urn
me in bed and wait upon me.
‘‘In the earlier part of my illness niv feet
felt as if I was walking hare-footed on a still
carnet. Soon I could not walk at all in the
dark, and could not even stand alone with
iny eyes shut. I rapidly grew worse, and
goon my limbs refused to carry me. Finally
I lost my sense of feeling dr touch, and
could not tell when my feet were against
each other, but felt nil the while as if they
were being pulled apart.
"In tlie beginning I had called in niy
family physician, a very successful practi
tioner. He nut me on a treatment, with in-
ftructions to keep very quiet. But 1 contin
ued to grow worse, and in about six weeks he
told me, candidly and honestly, that lie laid sni
done his best, that he had also advised with as

Generally a Chora..
Notieo thnt the seenud nonn of my
text is in the plural. Not ‘‘drunkard,’
but ’’drunkards.” It would bo dull
work to sing that sung solitary and
hlono. It is gonurally a chorus. They
are in groups. On that downward way
there must bo companionship. Here and
there is a man so mean ns always (o
drink nlouo, but generous men, big
hearted men, drinking at bar or in res
taurant or in olubhouso, feel mortified
to take the beverage unaccompanied.
There must be some one with whom to
olick tho rim of tho glasses, some one’s
health to propose, some sentiment to
toast. There must bo two, and still bet
ter if four, and still better if six, to givo
zest to the song of tho drunkards. Those
who have gone down could mention the
name of at least one who helped them
down. Generally it is some one who
was a little higher up in social life or
in financial resources. Our friend felt
flattered to have an invitation from one
of suporior name. Each one drank not
only when he felt like it, but when tho
other felt like it. Neither wunted to
seem leaking in sociality when ho was
invited. 80 a hundred thousand men
every year are treated into hell. Togeth
er me they manacled of evil hnbit; to
gether they travol toward their doom;
together they make merry ovor the row
ardico or Puritanical sentiment of those
wlio never indulge; together they join
their voices in tho song of the drunk
ards. If the one proposes to stop, the
other will not lot him stop. When men
are getting down themselves, they do
not want their associates to turn back.
Those who turn baok will bo the scoff
anti caricature of those who koop on,
and there will bo conspiracy to bring
•hem hack to their old places and their
old environment and so have them ro-
new tho song of tho drunkurds. Thero
was a tragedy in Now York, September,
1H45. A man of marvelous naturnl
gifts had, after arriving from his homo
in England, fallou into dissipated hab
its, and being a flue singer us well us
impersonator entertained many a bar
room group nt Newburyport, Boston
twnl New York, hut by the graoeof God
and tho kindness of one Joel Stratton
had been rescued and took tho platform
for temperance and moved vast audi
ences toward a bettor life.
A Glass of "Soda.”
"Destroy him!” said some of his old
associates, and they sot a trap for his
feet. “How do you do, Mr. Gough?’
said some ouo on the streot in Now
York. Ho pretended to he an old ao
quaintanoe nnd snid, ”1 suppose you
arc so piouH now aud lnivn got to Iio so
proud that you will not drink a gloss of
soda water with an old shipmate
"Oh, yes, ” said Mr. Gough, “I will
drink a glass of soda water with any
body. I will drink a glass with you.
They weut down Chambers street to
Chatham street and into a place whero
’’Best Soda” was announced at tho
door. After somo delay there was hand
ed to him a glass of soda water said to
be flavored with raspberry; but, alas, it
was rum, that flew to his bruin and
seut liim through the street uu insauo
man, aud woeks passed before he came
to himself aud implored the pardon of
tho Christian clmroh that he had join
ed und resumed hiswondrouB career for
God and righteousness. But all tho
grogshops aud places of dissipation rang
with merrimont nt the temporary dowu-
foll. All tho grogshops und winecellurs
of America took up with now voice aud
now gusto and now enthusiasm and
now diuholism the aong of tho drunk

There looms np in iny memory one

not that nt about 31 years of age he
hud followed the sou and habits of ine
briuoy had been fixed upon him. But,
converted to God, he begau a new life.
Yet it was n 80 years’ war against the
old appetite. But about this struggle I
know nothing until he was dead. While
absent during my aummer vacation I
received a telegram announcing his
death und asking me to come und offl
oiate nt his obsequies.
I arrived nt tho moment the servioe
was to begin aud had not muoh time to
make inquiries about his last hours. In
my remurks, without any limitations, I
extolled his virtues while living und
