A talented reporter Of that spright
ly journal, the Pittsburgh CONNER.
cial- Gazette, tells in the most highly
interesting manner, a terrible story
of the sufferings Of gentle little lady
named Mrs. Milo Ingram, now 4s
Fayette ST., Allegheny City, Pa, the
daughter of Captain Hugh Nickel
vey, of same place. 1t was told to
the reporter by Mrs. Ingram herself
and the news gatherer says it would
have been too much to believe only
the evidence was close at hand to
snbstantiate every word Of what she
said.
at was another instance" says the
reporter, "of the culpable ignorance
of large class Of practitioners OF
medicine who, while they pretend to
be perfectly familiar with the minu-
test details Of the science, are often
brought to bay by some unusually
difficult case, which they are ashamed
to acknowledge they do not under
stand. 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 for treatment, and all they
had succeeded in doing was making
big fees, while she grew rapidly
worse.
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 intolerable pain. She sent for
the leading physician of Allegheny,
who summoned consultation of
prominent physicians aa1 surgeons,
who united in pronouncing 1t case
of malignant cancer, and they told
her it was incurable. She next con
suited o we'll known cancer doctor Of
kittanning, under whose treatment
she remained six months. Her case
not manifesting the slightest i'm
provement, she experienced the most
excruciating torture all the time.
Her relatives took her to Rome, New
7 DIRK, where she remained for two
years under the care of DIR. Kingsley.
He pronunced it rose canl er, and
although he failed to cure her, he
very much relieved her sufferings.
He also pronounced her case incur
able.
The flesh of her breast was eaten
away down to the ribs, the breast
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 the limbs, with even
ten fold greater yirulonce, not only
eating away the flesh, but attacking
the bones beneath. 1t affected both
limbs, and then broke out on the
head and face, affecting her eyes,
making her almost blind, and caus-
ing her face to swell out Of all it's
former likeness. Her mind was af-
fected, and at last her death became
only question of time. A very rep
utable herb doctor pronounced her at
deaths door.
At this juncture, her friends were
told Of the remarkable recoveries eff
fected by Peruna, and without any
real hope of benefting her, they de-
termined to see if the wonderful
remedy would be of any avail in
her case. Four months after COM
mencing the use of Peruna she
showed remarkable signs Of improve
ment, and to-day she is o perfectly
hearty woman. All her sores are
healed.
Some fearful scars remain behind
to tell the terrible story. Her sight
is completely restored, and more
grateful patient a doctor never had.
She says she never grows tired sound
ing Peruna's praises.

over one thousand dollars to her pre-
vious doctors, without any permanent
good, and her father would gladly
have paid as much for Peruna had
cure been guaranteed. About one
hundred bottles of Peruna, each con
tanning half an ounce of iodide of
Potassium, was the whole cost of her
cure. She took at first one table
spoonful four times daily, and gradu-
ally increased the dose, until she
took four tablespoonfuls every two
hours. Notwithstanding these large
doses, her appetite at once improved,
and continued good all the time I'M
til she was perfectly cured. She
gained forty-five pounds while under
treatment.
There are only two cases on record |
where it is known to have required |
half as many bottles to effect cure
Generally speaking, ordinary chronic
cases require only from six to thirty
bottles, and thousands of cases of
