Inc following remarkable statement.
lately made to one of cur reporters. is
Youched for by Capt. Harry Mitchell re
siding at No. 31G Jarvis street. a proYninert
Republican OF the First ward, and for
merlY Captain of the Watch al the pbiIa-
delphia navy yard. Mr. Mitchell hap
pened to know that we had lately devoted
considerable time to the investigation of
cases where bodily relief had resulted
from the use of that now famous medi-
cine, Browns Iron Bitters, and meeting
the reporter the other day in
front OF Independence Hall, said:
4 can tell you of something
that may interest you. l know an elderly
lady down town VINO told me yesterday
that she had been rescued from the very
jaws of death by using Browns Iron Bit
tiers. She is an intimate family acquaint-
ance OF mine. and l knew she had been
very sick and was hardly expected to live
from hour to hour. | was, therefore, more
than astonished to meet her on the street,
in apparent good health. l expressed my
pleasure and surprise, when she informed
me that she had never expected to leave
her house alive again, aud that she had
been most miraculously cured by using
Browns Iron Bitters.'
"WhO is the lady, and where does she
Iive" our reporter inquired. "Her name
is Mrs. Margaret Springfield, and she re-
sides at No. Si2 Pierce street. She is the
mother OF grOwn-up family Of children,
and is Well known in the southern section
of the CITY," Capt. Mitchell then offered
a personal introduction to Mrs. Spring
field, and an appointment was made.
They accordingly met and proceeded
together to Mrs. Springfeld's residence.
The lady was not at home, but was found
at the house of her daughter, corner of
Eighth and Tasker streets. Our reporter
states as follows: 81 found Mrs. Spring
field well-preserved elderly lady of pleas
ing manners and good conversational
powers. Learning the object of our
visit, she made the following statement in
the presence of Capt. Mitchell and her
daughter; i can say that thought l was
on my death bed, and none of my family
or friends believed L would recover. PeO-
pie were calling at my house continually
asking about me, and from day to day l
was supposed to be dying. l am quite
we'll now, and l can say that l consider
my wonderful recovery entirely due to the
use of Browns Iron Bitters. | was bed
fast for three weeks, and for at least five
weeks l could not eat anything. My
greatest trouble was excessive pains in
my side and breast, and [ had the worst
kind of malarial symptoms. l
became SO weak that / could
not even lift my hand, and was complete
~ Frustrated all over. fOr some time
really felt more dead than alive. l know
l contracted very heavy cold, and it
seemed 70 peTmeate every part of my sys-
TEN. L suffered terribly, and got so bad
tnat L could not take anything al all. In
sheer desperation l resolved to try !
Browns Iron Bitters because of some |
thing / had read about it. / sent for a
bottle and commenced taking it, and to |
my great delight and establishment ] be- !
gan TO feel a sense of relief at once. | |
using it, and it seemed TO drive |
out the pains in my breast. 1 began to |
gain a little strength, and my appetite |
returned. Browns Iron Bit |
ters appeared to be just the thing my pros |
trated condition required, and, as have |
said, l believe it saved my life. Certainly |
l never took anything in my life that did |
me so much good"
Our representative then remarked to |
Mrs. Springfield that we desired TO give |
publicity 10 her statement, when Capt. |
said: Il think 1t ought to be /
done as philauthrOpic duty. If you |
know of anything that will benefit man |
kind it ought to be made public" Mrs. |
Springfield then gave her consent. say |
ing: Il do not seek notOrietV, but l am |
willing that the world shall |
know of anything that has been of so |
great benefit to me, and | can certainly |
to strong life when everybody thought 1 |
was dying"
