1t is trite saying "That wonders never
cease" Recent information has most FOR
chilly impressed us that there is much truth
in this old adage. The details, as given by
our reporter, are exceedingly interesting.
Last spring Mrs, II, p, Spencer, living in
the west part of this city, suddenly became
very sick. A physician was at once called,
and after careful examination, pronounced
her in very dangerous condition. II was
the first serious sickness she ever had, al
ways having been robust and healthy
However she rapidly grew worse and death
seemed inevitable. She commenced bloat
ing terribly and was subsequently tapped
three different times, discharging large
quantities of watery fluid. Her stomach
was in very deranged state, so that it was
with great difficulty that she could retain
: the slightest nourishment. The fifth week
found her in so discoursging condition
that the attending physician said there was
no hope, and that before it was too late she
had better be sent home to her immediate
friends, who lived at Huntington. a small
village but few hours ride from Cleye-
land. The advice was followed, and on ar
rival at her fathers home 1t seemed as If
} life to her was but a matter of "A few days
at best. She was made as comfortable as
possible, and the most prominent physician
of the town was sent for. He found her
stomach ana liver in terrible condition /,
kidneys badly affected; bowels very con
situated. Said he, Gould | succeed in

Of saving Mrs Spencers life and during
all the following week. and by the aid of
counsel of another physician, did he try,
but to no purpose. Finally, SAID he, there
Is no medicine that will reach her case.
Nothing can save her. But her parents,
feeling that while there was spark of life
there was hope, summoned at once a noted
physician from a neighboring town. This
was the second Sunday in Juue. The ply
stefan on careful diagnosis of the case said
he could do nothing for her; that il was
too late. Thus four physicians pronounced
her incurable, which must have been most
discouraging not only TO Mrs, Spencer, but
TO her parents and friends. AT this time
her condition was worse than II had been
during her long sickness. Scarcely a mo-
ment's sleep did she get. Head troubled
her exceedingly. No appetite, kidneys
and stomach in very deranged condition,
and very nervous and eXcitable, pain and
numbnesS in all parts of the body; at times
experienced great melancholy; chills, fol
lowed by hushes of heat, shortness of
breath, and cheeks and lips very pale, indi-
eating serious heart trouble; emaciated as
to be scarcely recognized and so weak that
il was impossible for he TO raise "a glass of
water to her lips, At this critical period II
friend called tie attention of Mrs. Spen
GERS mother to the German pharamaceuti-
cal remedy, Won Tagans AlaXine, and in
duced her to ret bottle at once for her
daughter, he having known of its curing
number of persons afflicted with some form
of kidney, liver or stomach trouble, and in
some instances their sickness was as extra
ordinary AS that Of Mrs Spencer's. During
the first day AlaXine was given her three
times IN teaspoonful doses, and to their
great surprise it agreed perfectly with her
stomach, The next day she was given four
teaspoonful doses, and 1t began to act as Il
gentle laxative, which afforded her imme.
diate relief. Thursday the long sought for
carthartic effect was brought about which
had SO batled the physicians and its effect
on her stomach was wonderful, as in few
days she was able to retain nourishment
