Almost a Miracle.

COLUMBUS, O., July 2, 1887.
In the fall of 1884, little sore appeared
on the calf Of my left leg. At first Ipaid but
little attention to it. But the sore grew
worse until it finally became running sore
and ate its way down to the bone. 1 suffered
intense pain, but could get no relief. The
doctors told me it was an ulcer, and poul-
ticed it with slippery elm, etc. But it went
on getting worse. Then they scraped the
bone. But this did no good. Meanwhile
my. lungs began to trouble me. Then I
called upon two of the leading physicians
and surgeons of Columbus. They both told
me that 1 had consumption and that my
case was hopeless. They confessed that
they could do nothing for me. Then fol-
lowed one affliction after another. Ny leg
began to draw up until it formed right
angle at the knee. Ny throat became sore
and finally broke out in terrible manner
on the outside, while inside it was so swollen
that could not swallow food of any kind.
As the sore on my leg ate deeper and deeper,
and my lungs and throat got worse and
worse, lost flesh at frightful rate, my
weight dropping in short time from 140 to
20 pounds. 1 was in a condition that was
simply awful and cannot be adequately de-
scribed. 1 myself and our family utterly
despaired of my recovery, and resigned our
At this anxious and critical juncture my
brother persuaded ME to try La-cu- pi-a, the
gread blood remedy. He had heard of the
remarkable cures being effected by this
remedy, and, as the last and only resort, he
was determined that should try it. The
effect was instantaneous and almost miracu-
lous. Within two months the sore was
healed, and, after being confined to my bed
for almost two years, and having long before
been given up to die, began steadily to
improve and to believe, also, that the medi-
cine that was to restore me to health had at
last been found. DR.. Hartman himself, in
whose ILLS of Life" attention had first
been directed to the wonderful virtues of
La-cu-pi-a as blood remedy, was called in.
He advised me to continue the use of La
cu-pi-a, and to begin at once taking Pc
ru-na, also, and to keep taking both until
was in condition that would better war

had scrofula and consumption both, he de-
clared, but he assured me that La-cu-pi-a
would finally cure the scrofula and Pc
ru-na the consumption permanently. So 1
kept on using La-cu-pi-a and began taking
Pe-ru-na, and got better every day.

set to work to straighten my limb. And
this, wonderful to relate, he accomplished
in a remarkably short space of time, by
means of special brace appliance which he
had made especially for the limb. Gradu-
ally the limb was Strengthened and strength
ened, until finally my foot again rested on
the floor and 1 was able to walk upon it
without limp. Thus, by means of La-cu-
pi-a, the great blood remedy, Pe-ru-na, the
great consumption cure, and the unequaled
orthopedic skill of DIR. Hartman, my sores
were healed, my lungs made perfectly well,
my cough stopped, my blood made pure, my
crooked limb Strengthened, my weight re-
stored to 130 pounds, and L became a well
and strong woman. To see me now,
after having seen me on what ]
be my deathbed, one would hardly
think that L am the same person. No one
would think that at one time was
at deaths door, utterly helpless, hopeless
and crippled. 1 can hardly realize it my

estly say, have literally snatched me from
the grave and have given me what promises
to be a long and happy and hope useful
life. 1t was indeed "almost a miracle"
