The squire grew into ithuence. wealth, gout, corj.ulency and sciatica simultaneously. The older he became the gwitler. more dogmatic and rheumatic, until at length his sufferings were intolerable and relief «a» imperative to postpone the inevitable foreclosure on the tenure of hi* exi-tei,..-. He w*‘ advised to go to Mount Clemens, and went and took a course of treatment and returned greatly relieved. He had not only bathed in the pools, but tasted the waters.

He purchased a number of half ' barrel* of mackerel, took the fish out for family consumption and reserved the salt brine for liathing hi* rh' matic limb*. His experience, after testing both Mount Clemens brine and the mackerel solution, was that the latter was equally effective as the former, and he never w ent to Mount Clemens again.
