The recent and substantial testimony OF
MRS. KECK's Success
HOME AND ABROAD.
A COMMENTATOR LETTER.
GLAsFoRD. Peoria Co.,
Iannaru 81 1881,

I wish to communicate through
your paper a few facts In relation TO
the sickness of my wife, and her re-
markable benefit received at the hands
of Mrs. DIR. Keck, thinking that | may
in this way influence some suffering
fellow beings to seek the aid which
NAV restore them. My wife has been
laboring under chronic affections. IN
Guiding catarrh, for IL years. and has
been treated for the same most OF that
time, without material beneht, until
she applied at the office of Mrs. Dr.
Keck, in Peoria, last fall. She had not
then spoken a loud word for nearly D
months. having lost her voice while
under other treatment. She was thre
atened with paralysis, her entire left
side being very weak and numb, her
nervous system was completely shat
tered, her lungs in serious condition
and her health failing rapidly. Her
hands and feet were always cold, SO
that it was almost impossible to warm
them, showing a poor circulation and
condition of the blood,
About October 1st, 1880, she applied
at the office of Mrs. DIR. Keck, in Pc
oria. for advice and treatment, which
she continued faithfully at home until
the middle of December. She made
several visits to Mrs. DR.. Keck's Office
in Peoria in the meantime, to obtain
necessary directions and medicines,
and improved very much, Her voice
was still gone, however, and / had
very little hope that she would ever
recover it, although Mrs. Dr.. Keck said
that her remedies were working splen
didIy on her system, and that if she
would now accompany her to Daven-
port Intirmary to receive extra treat
ment she would recover her voice and
health. But still doubling, took my
wife to several physicians OF elni-
nence for examination and opinions.
They agreed with Mrs. Keck as to
what the trouble was. Some of them
said there was rery little hope, while
others said their was none; flor recov-
ery.)
SO Mrs. Watson went with Mrs. Keck
and remained at her Infirmary five
weeks. She went under q vigorous,
though pleasant treatment there, and
in two weeks her voice was restored
to its original strength and tone. /
met her at Peoria on her return home,
and heard her speak aloud for the first
time in eight months. Her health is
very much better in every way. There
was great establishment among the
boarders at Mrs Wonders boarding
house, where Mrs. Keck has her Office,
when Mrs. Watson talked aloud like
the the rest, for all had heard her
whisper SO long, and did not believe
she could be restored. It has paid us
well to follow Mrs. Keck's advice, al.
though we had very little faith at first.
My wife's recovery is q truly remark
one. If any one doubts the above
they may correspond with me at Glas-
ford. Illinois.
