"Tho hide of a black cat dried In an Autumn sun and worn around tho waist In the foim of a belt will keep rheumatism away," said Mark Du vail, of Alexandria, La., at the Hotel Duncan. "Now, don't laugh, and wait until after you've heard the story. For three years I had symptoms of rheumatism very painful symptoms. I lay awake nights and suffered a thousand deaths mentally and physically. phys-ically. One day an old negro working work-ing on an adjoining plantation told me of the black cat hide remedy. Of course, 1 didn't believe in it, but, llko a drowning man grabbing at a straw, thought I would give it a trial, as I know the old-time southern darky to bo a real good doctor. I had a black cat killed In October and let tho hide stay out for about 15 days to dry, I then cut It up and made a belt about one inch wldo out or It. I put on the beU and wore it for eight weeks. Believe Be-lieve me when I say thnt ray rheumatism rheuma-tism had fentbcly disappeared tho third' week. I have never had a pain since, and I still have my black cat belt." Nashville TennesBcean. |
