Atalented reporter Of that sprightly jou,

in the most highly interesting manner,
terrible story Of the suaerinRs Of gent
little lady named Mrs. Milo Ingram, no,

daughter Of Captain Hugh McKelvey, G

Mira. Ingram herself, and the news gathere

to substantiate every word OF what sh

ut was another instance" says the re
porter, "of the culpable ignorance oil /
large class OF practitioners OF medicine who
while they pretend to be perfectly familia
with the minutest details Of the science, ar,
often brought to bay by some unusual,
difficult case, which they are ashamed t
acknowledge they do not understand. The
little lady gave the names Of some oil the
most reputable physicians in the two cities
to whom abe 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 attempt
ing to cross sewer drain that had Just
been dug. A large swelling came on heI
right side, which rapidly spread, became
very much discolered, and caused the most
intoerab!e pain. she sent for the leading
physician oil Allegheny, who summoned q
consultation Of prominent physicians and

1t was incurable. She next consulted well
known cancer doctor oil Kittanning, under
whose treatment she remained six rsonths.
Her case not manifesting the slightest i'm.
provement, she experienced the most ex.
circulating torture all the time. Her rela-
tives 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 suifArings. He
also pronounced her case incurable.
The flesh Of her breast was eaten away
down to the ribs, the breast-bona was laid
bare, and the disease made its way Upward,
causing the breast to become detached from
the wal Of the chest, hanging losse from
above. After awhile this healed partially,
and the diseass made its appearance in the
limbs, with even ten-fold greater virulence,
not only eating away the flesh, but attack
Ing the bones beneath. It affected both
limbs, and then broke out on her head and
face, affecting her eyes, making her almost
blind, and causing her face to swell out OF
all its former likeness. Her mind was at.
fectGd, and at last her death became only
a question Of time. A very reputable herb
doctor pronounced her at deaths door.
At this juncturs, her friends were told OF
the remarkable recoveries effected by
PRRuNA, aud without any real hope OF
her, they determined to see II
the wonderful remedy would be Of any
avail in her case. Four months after COM
mencing the use Of PERuSA she showed re-
aigus Of Improvement, aud tc.
day shei perfectly healthy woman. All
her sores are healed.
Some fearful scars remain behind TO tell
the terrible story. Her sight 10 completely
rest bred, and a moro grte.ul patient d:c-
tor never had. She says she never grows
tired ssnnding FHRUNA's praises.
Mrs. Ingram says they had paid over
one thousand dollais to her previous doc.
tors, without any permanent good, and her
father would gladly have paid as much Tor
Psruna had cure been guaranteed. About
one hundred bottles OF Peruna, each con-
tanning half an ounce OF iodide CT potas-
stun, was the whole cost tf her cure. She
took at first one tablespoonful four times
daily, and gradually increased the dose,
until she took four tablespooniuIs every
two hours. Notwithstanding these large
doses, her appetite at once improved and
continued good all the time until 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 hall as many
bottles to effect cure. Generally speak
ing, ordinary chronic cases require only
from elk 10 thirty bottles, and thousands
Of cases Of recent date have recovered per.
