DOcTORs DISAGREE,
A Case Thai Puzzled the whole FaeuI-
ty-HOW q WOman's Life was Saved,
As reporter for this paper sat yesterday
afternoon in chamber at No, S2l Federal
street, Allegheny, listening to terrible
tale Of suffering as 1t fell from the lips Of q
gentle little lady, Mrs. Milo Ingram, the
daughter Of Captain Hugh Mckelvey, OF
this city, II seemed almost too much to
believe, II the evidence had not been close
Mt hand 10 substantiate every word. II was
but another instance Of the Culpable ignor.
auce OF large class Of practitioners Of
medicine, who, while they pretend TO be
perfectly familiar with the minutest details
Of the science, are often brought to bay by
some unusually difficult case, which they
are ashamed to acknowledge they do not
understand The little lady gave the
names OF some Of the most reputable
physicians in the two cities to whom
she had paid large sums OF money Tor
treatment, and all they had succeeded In
doing was making big fees, while she grew
rapidly wone, Her troubles began about
six years ago, when she experienced fall
while attempting to cross sewer drain
that had Just been dug, A large swelling
came on her right side. which rapidly
spread, became very much discolored and
CAUSED the most intolerent pain. She sent
ior the leading physician Of Allegheny,
who summoned . consultation Of promi.
nent physicians and surgeons, who united
in pronounCing il q case Of malignant can
Ger, and they told her 1t was inCurable.
She next consulted a well known cancer
doctor OF Kittanning, under whose treat
ment she remained six months, her case
not maniiesting the slightest improvement,
she experiencing the most GxCruciating tor
ture all the time. Her relatives took her to
Rome, New York, where she remained
for two years under the care OF DR..
Kingsley, He pronounced it rose cancer,
and, although he failed to cure her, he
very much relieved her suttcrings. He
also pronounced her case incurable, The
flesh OF her breast was eaten away down to
the ribs, the breat bone was laid bare, and
the disease made its way upward, causing
the breast to become detached from the
wall OF the chest, hanging loose from above,
After awhile this healed partially, and the
disease made its appearance in her limbs,
with even ten.told greater virulenCe, not
only eating away the flesh, but attacking
the bones beneath. 1t affected both limbs,
and then broke out on her head and face,
affecting her eyes, making her almost
blind, and causing her faGe to swell out OF
all It's former likeness. Her mind was af-
tected, and at last her death became only a
question Of time, A very reputable herb
doctor pronounced her ut deaths door,
AT this junCture her friends were told oil
some remarkable recoveries effected by
DR.. Hartman, and without any real hope
of beneftng her they determined TO sec II
his skill would be OF any avail In her case.
The very first time he saw her he pro-
nounced her disease to be SCrOfula, said
there was not n particle Of cancer, us the
doctors had called 1t, about her, and at
once put her under treatment This WINS
four months ago, on the 9th OF last Febru.
ary. She commenced improving at once,
and to-day Is healthy woman. All her
sores arc healed. Some fearful scars n,
main behind TO tell the terrible story, Her
sight Is completely restored, and . more
grateful patient doctor never had. She
says she never grows tired sounding DR..
Hartmans and DR.. Lightner's praises
DR.. Hartman says that Mrs, Ingram
would have been cured long ago, II she had
been given Peruna and NIanalln by her
doctors in addition TO the other medicine.
These two remedies were first discovered
by him, and have assisted him materially
In some Of his most famous cures. What
they accomplished in this case was little
short OF miracle. Soon after Mrs. In
gram had commenced treatment of DR..
Hartman, DR.. Lightner took charge Of her
case and treated her until she had perma-
nently recovered. One or both Of these
physicians will practice at the st. James
Hotel, Wheeling, W. Va, from January
10, 1882, to January 2S, 1882. Consulta-
