A talented reporter of that spright-
ly journal, tho Pittsburgh Commercials
Gazette, tells in the most highly in
tercsting manner, terrible story of
the suffcrirgs of gentle little lady
named Mrs. Milo Ingram, now 43
Fayettc ST.. Allegheny City, Pa, tho
daughter Of Captain Hugh McKclvey,
of same place. 1t was told to the re-
porter by Mrs. Ingram herself, and
the news gatherer says it would have
been too much TO believe only the ev-
idcucc was close at hand to substan-
tiatc every word of what she said.
cit was another instance says
the reporter, " of the culpable ignor-
ancc of large class of practitioners
of medicine who, while they pretend
to be perfectly familiar with the mi
nGtest 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 ply
sicisns 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 q 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 intolcrable pain.
She sent for the leading physician of
Allegheny, who summoned CONSUL
tation OF prominent physicians and
surgeons, who united in pronouncing
it case of malignant cancer, and
they told her il was incurable. She
next consulted well known cancer
doctor of Kittanning, under whose
treatment she remained six months.
Her case not manifcsting the slightest
improvements, she experienced the
most cxcruciating torture all the time.
| Her 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 sufrerings. He
also pronounced her case incurablc.
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 par
italy, and the disease made its ap-
pearancc in the limbs, with even ten
fold greater virulencc, not only eating
away the flesh, but attacking the bones
beneath. It affected both limbs, and
then broke ont 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 pro-
nounced her at DEATHS door.
At this juncture, her friends were
told of the remarkable recoveries ef-
fected by PERUNA, and without any
real hope of benefitting her, they de-
termined to see if the wonderful
remedy would be of any avail in her
case. Four months after commenc-
ing the use of PERUNA she showed re-
markabIe signs of improvement, aud
to-day she is a 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 more
grateful patient doctor never had.
She says she never grows tired sound
ing PERUSA's praises.
Mrs. Ingram says they had paid
over one thousand dollars to her pre-
viOus doctors, without any permanent
good, and her father would gladly
have paiG as much for PERuHA had n
cure been guaranteed. About one
hundred bottles of PEuUHA, each con-
taining half an ounce Of iodide of Po-
tassiu1n. vas the whole cost of her
cure. She took at first one table
| spoonful four times daily, and grad
uaI!y increased the dose, until she
took four tablespoonsful every two
hours. Notwithstanding these large
doses, her appetite at once improved,
and continued good ell the time until
she was perfectly cured. She gained
forty-five pounds while under treat
ment.
There are only two cases on record
where it is known to have required
half as many bottles to effect a cure.
Generally speaking, ordinary chronic
cases require only from six to thirty
bottles, and thousands of cases of re
cent date have recovered perfectly on
a single bottle"
Referring to the West Virginia Uni.
versity, the Wheeling Register says;

ucational institutions of our young
State. We are in favor of every mea,

. that will improve our Normal Schools,
