Mrs. w. returned from Philadelphia Feb. 10,
1885, in most deplorable state of health. Her
lungs seemed to be entirely filed her breathing was
very labored. and she was unable to walk At home
felt no better and called in doctor who said her
heart was badly affected and she showed symptoms
of Bright's disease. She was so badly swollen, she
could not fsten her clothes together and her skin
was very yellow. On 23d took her bed in terrible
dstress for days and nights her struggles for breath
and violent nausea prevented sleep. Her doctor
concluded that she had great deal of Inflammation
around the heart and poor blood. He ordered digit
ais, painting over the heart with iodine, taking
lime tablets and nourishing food and make an effort
to walk, and then, he said, he could do no more.
She was no better. The least exertion caused her
to faint, getting out of bed and walking i'm
possibility. After using his prescriptions awhile,
she abandoned all medicine for week. She then
sent for her old family Physician, who found on
thorough examination arupture Of one valve OF the
heart ana great prostraton. He. ordered Dgitalis,
Pepsiue and Bromide. Nausea was less, breathing
easier but the doctor told her she must give up all
idea of attending to household affairs, which made
her very unhappy and caused her to decline.
May LIST, was able with assistance to get down
stairs, but thought she would never get up again.
and continued for several weeks. At that time
she was recommended to our hospital where she
began treatment with Liquid Food. Tue effect was
almost magical. She began to improve at such a
pace that the friends who called ON her were
tonshed, and could hardly believe she took moth,
ing but Liquid Food. She improved rapidly, gained
good color, was stronger than for year before,
and left in two months and is still improving daily,
and still taking the Liquid Food and says if she
should have to take il all her life, should consider
that trial to her, by its use she has reganed
her health and can attend to her household duties
| as well as ever. dec26dIawW
