A LADY Whoae Physicians and Family
ILad Decided WOnld DIE - ReFfeetly
Cured, ana n Two WeelSa' Tinae said
She HAD Not Been aa Well IN Eight
Months - q That Time.
AS strange as it may seem, At frst, to
some OF our readers, that such q seemingly
miraculous cure rs the one we relate be-
low, could have taken place, We can assure
them that the facts are vouched for by the
best authority-the lady herself On the
afternoon OF the 18th OF last February,
while DB Hartman and Lightner were at
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
10 him, asking the cause Of his great
anxiety. In answer, he said: doctors,
Mrs. :. 7, Eberlein, my neighbor, living
at No. 274 Market street, we thing, is dy-
higher physicians have given her up,
and !, at her request, have come for you"
Although Drs Hartman and Lightner,
when at home, do not see patients outside
OF their office, and the fact that number

the friend induced the doctors to promise
TO go with him that evening at 10 o'clock.
II was the best they could do, Promptly
at the hour the faithful friend was again ut
tho Office with q conveyance to take the
doctors to the mothers bedside, Arriving
at the soTowtul home, they saw at once
that the lady was indeed on the brink OF
the grave, but in answer To the question Of
the husband as to whether she was dying,
they said: "sir, you and we are now in the
vigor OF life; 1t may happen that this lady
will see US buried; you know while there
is life there ia hope" Mrs. Eberlein
was certainly very low, with seemingly all
chances Of her recovery gone, Her pulse
was hardly perceptible, and the ends other
fingers cold and blue. After careful ex-
animation OF the case they left prescrip-
ton to be filled by the druggist, with the
instruction TO take portion Of 1t at stated
intervals, and II she was not better in 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 ceremo-
ny exclaimed: doctors, my wife il WE'LL"

the doctors, but he insisted that Mrs.
Eberlein was better than she had been for
eight months, and was the heartiest eater at
the table, The lady soon afterwards left
for Chicago, and the doctors heard no
more concerning her until yesterday when
they received the following letter from Mr..
Miller, OF Allegheny City;
~ was over to sec Mrs. Eberlein this fore
noon, and she told me considerable in re-
gard TO her late sickness. Her first doctor
was DR.. Williams, on Penn avenue, lust
below us, He said he would cure her in
two weeks, but instead Of getting better
she got worse. She then went to Clifford,
in Allegheny and doctored with him for
four weeks without any benefit, Then she
employed her family physician again, DR.,
Riggs, butkept getting worse oil 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 tald It was
impossible for her to get we'll,
She finally got 30 weak that she could
not help herself, but had an idea that II
she could SEQ DR.. Hartman or DR.. Light
ner she would get well, but her husband
said he thought they were only quacks,

was holding her up in order that she could
breathe more easily after struggling W ith n
bad spell Of coughing, he made the remark
that he did not believe she would ever get
well, when she In her weakness said eyes
l will, II you will bring either DR.. Hartman
or DR.. Lightner,' 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 mo today that she never felt
better In her life than she does now, and
that she cannot say too much for 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
cost you good deal to doctor with Drs.
Hartman and Lightner.' She said she
told her lady friend she was mistaken, it
did not cost as much as with the other doc
tors"
Her general health never was better,
though her voice is still little husky.
They expect to leave the city In week or
two, but she will write you in few days.
