A Woman Ten Years Bed-ridden
Rises from Her Bed and walks:

Mrs. Lamb, wife of Mr.. Francis
Lamb, manufacturer Of looking GLASSES
and picture-frames, Says The Washing g
ton Republican, has, for the past
thirteen years, been an invalid, and for
nearly ten years of that period been
confined to her bed and deprived of
the use of her limbs. When first taken
sick it was supposed that her indispo-
sition would be brief; and only short
time would elapse ere she succeeded
in recovering her accustomed health !;
but as the days rolled on, that improve
ment looked and hoped for failed to
appear.
It is trte that she would rally and
for a willis seem I'd be mending, and
her friends would be encouraged at the
prospect then again came a change
and she would return TO the old coudi-
tidn. Other complaints set in, and
finally she suffered from complication
of Diseases, and became So much ex-
hausted that she was compelled to seek
the bed for fest and comfort Promin-
ent and emihent physicians were con-
suited; attended upon her, and in the
early stages of her sickness their
prescriptions proved efacious, and she
WINS able to rise frUm the bed and move
about the hoise but failed to regain
her health snd strength, and, as con-
sequence, ere many days expired, she
would again become prostrated. Her
situation baf1ed the professionals
knowledge and skill, and several of
them professed beihg unable to prescribe
medicine that would produce cure.
Still they attended upon her, watching
for any change that might occur; III
the hope Of being able to furnish relief
and prolong life should death threaten
to intervene and take her hence. In
this condition, unable to rise from her
sick bed; had she passed from year to
year, hoping for the good time coming
when, re-endowed with strength and
the usefulness of her limbs; she might
again become perfect being of the
world. In all this prolonged sickness
and prostration the invalid was never
known to niurmer at her situation or
complain of her misfortune. But, on
the contrary, being a devout Christian
placing her trust and reliance on Him
who aflicts as well as relieves, she
daily and almost hourly invoked the
the blessing of the Almighty; and that
in His chosen time, He would send
that relief which she believed could
only proceed from HIM. 80
Her friends were frequently with her
and mingled their prayers with hers for
the desired change. A little more than
week ago she sent request to the
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1875-08-05
