A talented reporter of that sprightly
journal, the Pittsburgh Commercial
Gazette, tells in the most highly inter-
esting manner, terrible story OF the
sufferings of gentle little lady named
Mrs. Milo Ingram, now 43 Fayette ST..
Allegheny City, Pa, the daughter OF
Captain Hugh McKelvey, of same place.
1t was told to the reporter by Mrs. In
gram herself, aud the news gatherer
saws it would have been too much to
believe olly the evidence was close at
hand to substantiate every word of
what she said.
at was another instance" says the
reporter, "of the culpable ignorance OF
a large class of practitioners OF medl-
cine who, while they pretend to be per-
fectly familiar with the minutest details
of the science, are often brought to bay
by seme unusually difficult case, which
they are ashamed to acknowledge they
do not 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 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 sewer drain that
had just been dug A large swelling
came on her right side, which rapidly
spread, became very much discOlored,
and caused her most intOlerable pain.
She sent for the leading physicians of
Allegheny, who summoned consulta-
tion of prominent physicians and sur
geons, who united in pronouncing it
case of malignant cancer, and they told
her it was incurable. She next con-
suited well-known cancer doctor OF
Kittannipg under whose treatment she
remained six months. Her case not
manifesting the slightest improvement,
she experienced the most excruciating
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, be very much relieved her
sulferings. He also pronounced her
case incurable.
The flesh of her breast was eaten
away down to the ribs, the breast-bone
was laid bare, and the disease made it's
way upward, causing the breast to be-
come detached from the wall of the
chest, hanging loose from above. AT
ter awhile this healed partially, and
the disease made its appearance in the
limbs, withseven ten-fold greater viru-
lence, not only eating away the flesh,
but attacking 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 ont of all its former
likeness. Her mind was affected, and
at last her death became only ques-
tion of time. A very reputable herb
doctor pronounced her at deaths door.
At this juncture, her friends were
told of the remarkable recoveries OBJECT
cd By PERUNA, and without any real
hope Of henefting her, they determin-
cd to see if the wonderful remedy
would be of any avail in her case.
-Four months after commencing the
use of PERUNA she showed remarka-
BILE signs of improvement, and to-day
she is perfectly healthy woman. All
her sores are healed
Some fearful scars remain behind to
tell the terrible story. Her sight is
completely restored, and more CRATE
ful patient 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 r,uch for PERUNA had cure been
guaranteed, About one hundred bot
ties of PERUNA, each containing half an
ounce of iodide Of Potassium, was the
whole cost of her cure. She took at
first one tablespoonful four times daily,
and gradually 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-fve 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 Oh
