Belle IEOOycr-TesHmOnS of Her
Physician.
What is truth? This is question ask
ed Often-it is said to have been unan>
swerable until the introduction of the
! Gospel since which time it ia consider
ed that the veil is taken away, and
| that we now enjoy the full blaze of
Truth.
| confidently essist that there is one
truth-and that is, Miss Belle Hoover
has had Ovarian Dropsy some twelve or
fifteen months. Dropsy OF the Ovary
in it's Ordin ary form consists Il believer
in the disease and enlargement of one
or more of the graapisn Eesicles, Or of
ova, which they inclose. The actual
condition of the dropsical ovary is SUBJ
iect to much variety: sometimes there
is but one cryst, and this may be no big
ger than pea, or it may be large
enough to contain many gallons: its
walls may be thin and flexible, or they
may be firm and half an INCH or more
in thickness; lastly, the fluid contained
: in the cryst may be thin or consistent.
limpid or glutinOus-and of various
tints, so that it may be cOlorless, green,
purple, red, resembling in appearance
pure water, white OF an egg, jelly, &c.
The progress OfOvarian Dropsy is no less
w
very rapid, sometimes SLOW; it may de-
stroy life in few months or it may
continue mere burden, with scarcely
any fatal tendency, for years. 1t is
serious malady-its grievances are
many: its issue is unprOmising; in some
caGes tao general health is not injured
this was Miss Bellies 0ass. These oVa
are destined, under peculiar stimulus,
to build up the fabric of the body in all
it's parts and qualities, and we may sup
pose that in consequence OF some unnat-
ural morbid stimulus, perverted and
erring a..tiOn may be set up and strange
products result Then, again, it il nOt
Uncommon to find fat hair, chalesterine
teeth, and other bones, in the diseased
Ovary even of virgins. Dropsy of the
ovary has not been known to commence
before the age of puberty; virgins and
barren ana irt4itf;,l wives are alike sub
iect to the disease. The catemenia ars
sometimes entirely suspended,
sometimes not; it was suspended with
Miss Belle. This is plain language,
but 20 more so than the erring, shame~
ful reports about Miss belle, ny those
that knew nothing of her condition.
This Ovarian Tumor passed off sponta-
neously while uuder my treatment.
She is not entirely relieved, but con-
yal9scent. A. l.. HARRINGTON, NJ. ID.

cents apiece, to feed 10 his hogs, which
when fattened, he intends to drive away
