The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1883-08-16

A talented reporter of that sprightly
journal, the Pittsburgh Commercial
Gazette, tells in the most highly interest
ing manner, terrible story of the suf-
ferings of gentle little lady named Mrs.
Milo Ingram, now 43 Fayette ST., Allie
gheny City, Pa. the daughter of Captain
Hugh McKelvey, of same place. 1t was
told to the reporter by Mrs. Ingram her
self, and the news gatherer says it would
have been too much to believe only the
evidence was close at hand to substan-
tiate every word of what she said.
"It was another instance" says the re-
porter, "of the culpable ignorance of a
large class of practitioners of medicine
who, while they pretend to be perfectly
familiar with the minutest details of the
science, are often brought to bay by
some unusually difficult case, which they
understand. 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 treat
ment, and all they had succeeded in do
ing was making big fees, while she grew
rapidly worse.
Her troubles began about six years ago,
when she experienced fall while at
tempting 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 and surgeons, who united in
pronouncing it case of malignant can
Ger, and they told her it was incurable.
She next consulted a well known cancer
doctor of Kittanning, under whose treat
ment she remained six months. Her
case not manifesting the slightest i'm
provement, she experienced the most ex-
crusiating torture all the time. Her rel
atives 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 suf-
ferings. He also pronounced her case in
durable.
The flesh of her breast was eaten away
down to the ribs, the 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 be-
come detached from the wall of the
chest, hanging loose from above. After
awhile this healed partially, and the dis
ease made its appearance in the limbs,
with even ten-fold greater virulence, not
only eating away the flesh, but attack
ing the bones beneath. 1t 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 affected, Ind 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
benefitin 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 show
ed remarkable signs of improvement
and to-day she is perfectly healthy
woman. All her sores are healed.
Some fearful scars remain behind tc
tell the terrible story. Her sight is com.
pletely restored, and a more grateful pa
tient doctor never had. She says she
never grows tired sounding Peruna's
praises.
Mrs. Ingram says they had paid over
one thousand dollars to her previous
doctors, without any permanent good
and her father would gladly have paid as
much for Peruna had cure been guaran
teed. About one hundred bottles Of
Peruna, each containing half an ounce o.
