UGLORI0US TRIUMPHANTi
Sworn statement of David MeCreary, of Napier
Township, Bedford county
In April, 1856, as near as l can remember, a
small pmple made its appearance on my upper lip,
which became enlarged and Sore I used
potices of sofrel, and wash of blues vtriol with
out effect. Finding the sore extending called on
DIR. Ely, of Schelsburg, who pronounced it CAN
GER, and prescribed wash of sugar Of lead and
bread poultices. Finding these remedies of no
avail, called upon DR.. Shaffer, of DavidsFille
Somerset county, who also pronounced the disease
Cancer, and gave me internal and external remedies
the latter consisting principally of caustie; but
all to no purpose, as the disease continued spread
ing toward the nose. | next used a preparation Of
arSenic in the form of salve. This for a time
checked the disease, but the inflammation soon in-
creased. / next called upon DIR. Statlcr of st.
Ciairsv:lle, Bedford county, who also pronounced
the disease Cancer, and applied salve said to be
never failing remedy, but it had no effect whatever
in checking the spread Of the sore. In December
of the same year, the disease had eaten away
greater part OF my upper lip, and had attacked the
nose, when went to Cincinnati, where consulted
Prof. K. 5. Newton, of the Eleetic Medical College,
lie pronounced the disease .sa cutaneous Cancer,
supernduced by an inordinate use of mercury
He applied mild zinc ointment, and gave internal
remedies. My face healed up, but the nflamation n
not thoroughly removed. In Febuary lS5 +,
he pronounced me cured, and LETT for home. In
April the disease again returned and SO violent was
the pain that could not rest at night Late in
May returned to Cincinnati, and again placed
myself under the charge of DR.. Newton, with whom
l remained until September, during which time he
used every known remedy, and partly succeeded in
checking the disease, but when | returned home
there were still three diScharging ulcers upon my
face. | continued using Eewton's preparations,
and also medicine that got from DIR. Ely, but the
Cancer continued growing until it had eat off the
left side Of my nose, the greater portion of my left
cheek, and had attacked my left eye. had given up
all hope of ever being cured since DIR. Ely said he
could only give relief but that a cure was impos-
sible. In March, 1858, bought bottle of Blood
Seearcher,' but must confess that / had no faith
in it. / was very weak when commenced taking
it but found that gained strength day by day,
and also that the ulcers commenced drying up.
continued, and when the third bottle was taken my
face was healed if by miracle. l used forth
bottle, and have been healthier since than / have
been for the last seven years. Although my face
is sadly diSfgured, l am still grateful to benign
Providence who has spared my life, and which has
been done through the instrumentaity of LINDsEY's
IMPROVED BLOOD SEARcHER. d. MeCREARY.
