reporter, "of the culpable ignorance
of a large class of practitioners of
medicine who, while they pretend to
be perfectly familiar with the min

brought to bay by some unusually
difficult case, which they are asham-

ed in doing was making big fees,
while she grew rapidly worse.
Her troubles began about six years
while attempting to cross a 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 prOmi-
nent physicians and surgeons, who
united in prOnOuncing it case of
malignant cancer, and they told her
it was incurable. She next consulted
awell known cancer doctor of Kittan-
ming, under whose treatment she re-
manned six months. Her case not
manifesting the slightest improve

erusiating torture all the time. III err
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 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 virulence, not only eating
away the flesh, but attacking the
bones beneath. Itaffected 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 affected, and at last
her death became only question of
time. A very reputable herb doctor
pronounced her at deaths door.
At this juncture, her friends were
told of the remarkable recoveries
effected by PERUNA, and without
any real hope of benefitting her, they
determined to see if the wonderful
remedy would be of any avail in her
case. Four months after commencing
the use of PERUNA she showed re-
markable signs of improvement, and
to-day she is perfectly healthy wo-
man. All her sores are healed.
Some fearful scars remain behind
to tell the terrible story. Her sight
is completely restored, and a more
grateful patient a doctor never had.
She says she never grows tired sound.

Mrs. Ingram says they had paid
over one thousand dollars to her pre-
yious doctors, without any perma-
nent good, and her father would
gladly have paid as much for PERU.
e. MA had azure been guaranteed. About
one hundred bottles of PERUNA, each
containing 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 grad
ually 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 until
she was perfectly cured. She gained
forty five pounds while under treat

There are only two cases on record

half as many bottles to effect a cure.

cases require only from six to thirty
