He says he did not suffer much from the wound until the fall of 1801, Then he began to notice a numbness in the little finger of the loft hand. This numbness extended to the other fingers as time wore on, and finally his hand would experience spasms of contraction. He lost con- trol of the muscles to the extent of paralysis. Finally his entire arm, the 1.88 2 ATiw Du left leg became involved, and in SBep- tember, 1892, began a series of terrible | epileptic fits.
