Words could never tell the suffering I endured for three years. I tried everything, but could get no relief. I tried at least eight different doctors, but none did me any good, as my hands were as bad when I got through doctoring as when I began. I also tried many remedies, but none of them ever did me one cent's worth of cood. I was discour aged and-heart-sore. I would feel so bad mornings, to think I had to go to work and stand the pain for ten hours, I often felt like giving up my position. Before X started to work I would have to wrap every finger up sep arately, so as to try and keen them loft, and then wear gloves over the rags to keep tne grease from getting en my work. At night I would hare to wear gloves ; in fact, I had to wear . loves all the time. But thanks to luticura, that is all over now.
