As strange as ii may seem, at first, 70
some of our readers, that such seemingly
miraculous cure as the one we relate De-
low could have taken place, We can assure
them that the facts are vouched for by the
hest authority-thc lady herself. On the
afternoon of the 18th Of last February,
while Drs. Hartman and Lightner were az
their office in Pittsburgh, with numerous
patients in waiting, young gentleman
came in and asked for an immediate audi
ence. The doctors, seeing that the stranger
was much excited, at once spoke kindly to
him. asking the cause,of his great anxiety
In answer, he said: doctors, Mrs. >. l:
Eberlein, my neighbor, living at No. "a
Market street, we THINK Is uyihe-neI

REQUEST, have come for you Although DIS.
Hartman and Lightner, when at home, do
not see patients outside OF their office, ana
the fact that number OF persons VINO were
then waiting in their rooms lOT treatment,

was the best they could do. Promptly at
the hour the faithful friend was again at
the office with a conveyance TO take the
doctors 10 the mothers bedside. Arriving
at the sorrowful home, they saw at once
that the lady was indeed on the brink OF
the grave. but in answer TO the question OF
tbe husband as to whether she was dying,
thew said: "Sir, you and We are now in the
yigor OF life; it may happen that tins lady
will see Us buried; you know
while there is life there is
hope" Mrs. Eberlein Wa certainly very
low, with seemingly all chances OF her re-
coycry gone. Her pulse was hardly percep,,
tible, and the ends OF her fingers cold and
blue. After careful examination OF the
case they left a prescription to be
filed by the druggist WIN tne
instruction to take portion OF 1t at stated
Intervals and if she was not better III the
morning to let them know. They heard
nothing from the family for two weeks;
when one morning the husband entered
the doctors Office with sunshine all over
his face and almost without other ceremony
exclaimed: Doctors my wife Is well!
ooh, no, you mean she is better, remarked
the doctors. but he insisted that Mrs.
Eberlein was better than she had been Tor
eight months, and was the heartlest eater at
the table. The lady soon afterwards lett
for Chicago, and the doctors heard no more
received the following letter from Mr.. Mill
Ter, of Allegheny City:
II was over to see Mrs. Ebercin this fore
noon, and she told me considerable III re-
gard to her late sickness. Her first doctor
was DR.. Williams, on Penn avenue, Just
below us. He said he would cure her in
two weeks, utinstead of getting better she
got worse. She then went TO Clifford, III
Allegheny, and doctored with him Tor four

plOyed her family physician again. DR..
Riggs, but kept getting worse all the time;
he said she had the consumption, and gave
her Cod Liver Oil, and finally said he could
do nothing more for her, and ii was lmpoS-
sible for her to get well.
She finally got so weak that she could not
help herself. but had an idea that ii she
could see DR.. Hartman or Dr. Iightner she
would get well, but her husband said he
thought they were only quacks, and one
morning while he (her husband) was hold
ing her up in order that She could breathe
more easily after struggling with bad spell
of coughing, he made the remark that he
did not believe she would ever get well,
when she in her weakness said: Yes |
will, if you will bring either DR.. Hartman
or DR.. Lghtncr,' and he told her he would
comply with her request. She began To
improve from the first dose OF medicine she
took, and in ten days was out Of bed again,
and she told me to-day that she never felt
better i'll her life than she does now, and
that she cannot say too much Tor these doc
tors and their medicines.
She told me, too, that she was talking to
a neighbor lady the other day, when her
neighbOr remarked: well, it must have
