"Our llttlo

suffered for six
years with

to grow worse,
although wo
liavo applied
many kinds of

family doctor
lias docldod
that tho boy
has hip Joint
disease, and ho
urges us not to

ing It Is best to
allow it to tako

Wo feel very
anxious about
him. I wish wo
could find
something
which would
effect a cure.
