A talented reporter of that

highly interesting manner, terrible
story of the suffering of a gentle little
lady named Mrs. Milo Ingram, now

reporter by Mrs. Ingram herself, and
the news gatherer says it would have
been too much to believe only the
evidence was close at hand to substan-

most reputable physicians in the two

sums of money for treatment, and all

Her troubles began about six years
ago, when she experienced a fall while
attempting to cross a sewer drain that
had just been dug. A large swelling
came on her right side, which rapidly
spread, became very much disOolOred
and caused the most intolerable pain.
She sent for the leading physician of

told her it was incurable. She next
consulted well known cancer doctor
of Kittanning, under whose treatment
she remained six months. Her case not

though he tailed to cure her, he very
much relieved her sufferings. 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 its way upward, causing the
breast to become detached from the
wall of the chest, hanging loose from
above. After awhile this healed par

greater virulence, 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 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
pronounced her at deaths door.
At this juncture, her friends were
told of the remarkable recoveries eff
tected by Peruna, and without any
real hope of benefitting her, shey de-

-Four months after commencing the
use of Peruna she showed remarkable
signs of improvement and to-day she

Some fearful scars remain behind to
tell the terrible story. Her sight is

says she never grows tired sounding
Peruna's praise.
Mrs. Ingram says they had paid
over one thousand dollars to her pre-

one hundred bottles of Peruna, each
one containing halfan ounce ofiodide
of Potassium, was the whole cost Of

spoonful four times day, until she
took four table spoonsful 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-fye pounds while under treat

There are only two cases on record
where it is known to have required
half so many bottles to effect a cure.
Generally speaking, ordinary chronic
cases require only from six to thirty
bottles, and thousands of cases of re-
