A talented reporter of that sprightly journal,
the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, tells us in
the most highly interesting manner 4 terrible
story of the sufTerings of a gentle little lady
named Mrs. Milo Ingram, now 43 Fayette ST.,
Allegheny City, Pa, the daughter Of Captain
Hugh Mckeyey. of same place. Ii was told 10
the reporter by Mrs. Ingram herself. and the
news gatherer says ii would have been too much
to believe only the evidence was close ut hand
to substantiate every word Of what she said.
at was another instance" says the reporter
"Of the culpable ignorance OF large class of
practitioners of medicine who, while they pre-
tend to be perfe city familiar with the minutest
details of the science are often brought to bay
by some 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 10
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. large
swelling came on her right side, which rapidly
spread, became very much Sc)lored, and
caused the most intolerable pain. She sent for
the leading physician of Allegheny, who sum-
moned consultation OF prominent physicians
and surgeons. who united in prOnouncing it n
case OF malignant cancer, and they told her 1t
was incurable She next consulted well known
cancer doctor of kittaning. under whose treat
ment she remained six months. Her case not
manifesting the slightest improvement she eX-
perienced the most excrusiating torture all the
time. Her relatives took her to Rome, New York
where she rema ined for two years under the
care of DR.. Kingsley He pronounced it rose
| cancer, and althou5 5h he failed to cure her, he
very much relieved her sufferngs. He also pro-
| nOunced her case incurable.
The flesh Of her breast w as eaten away down
| to the ribs, the breastbone was laid bare, and
the disease made its way upward causing the
| breast to become deta ched from the wall of the
| chest hanging loose rom above. After awhile
| this healed partially, and the disease made its
] appearance in the limbs, with even tenfOld
greater virulencc, not only eating away the flesh
but attacking the bon es beneath. 1t affected
| both limbs, and then bro Ike out on her 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 bee anne 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 to use PERUNA she showed
! remarkable 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 a more grateful patient doctor never had.
She says she meyer grows tired sounding PER-
| UNA'S praises.
Mrs. Ingram says they had paid over one thou
sand dollars to her previous doctors, without
any permanent good, and her father would glad
ly have paid as much for PERUNA had a cure
been guaranteed. About one hundI ed bottles of
fERUNA. 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 tablespoonsful 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-tive pounds while under treatment
There are only two cases on record where it is
known to have required half as many bottles to
effect cure. Generally speaking, ordinary
chronic cases require only from six to thirty
bottles, and thousands of cases OF recent date
have recovered perfectly on single bottle.
