do nothing for me- unless they tapped me. and
sured me that by tapping could live but short
time had made up my mind TO go home and live
as long could with the disease, and then die. On
my way home stayed over night in Portland with
a friend of mine, and told them what my mind was
in regard to my disease. They finally persuaded me
to 20 and see Mrs. Manchester. She examined me
and told me my case exactly.
was SO much astonished to think that she told me
correctly that told her that would take her medi-
cnes, not having the least faith that they would do
me any good that should get the slightest relief
from any course whatever; finally took the medi-
cine and went home In one week from the time
commenced taking the medicine, had over three
gallons of water pass me in seven hours and my fel-
low sufferers may be assured that it great relief
to me. had not been able to lie down in bed at
night before this for two years. Now lie down

eight months, and am well as any man could wish
to be, and no signs of dropsy. l would advise all
that are sick to go and consult Mrs. Manchester,
even If they have been given up by other ply
scians. have sent her number of cases of other
diseases, and she has cured them also. Go and see
for yourselves. l had no faith, but now my faith
cannot be shaked in her skill in telling and curing
