AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Mr.. Charles A. Miller Willingly Ap-
pears as a Witness.
A PART OF HIS TESTIMONY.

''I will tell you the story just as it is,
then you can judge of its Importance your
self. 1t seemed very important to me, be-
cause I felt, as my friends did, that my
trouble could not help but end in nv being
obliged to give up work and everything else.
I was failing SO steadily and surely"
1t was Mr.. Charles A. Miller who was
speaking. He has been engaged for long
time at A. Speer & Sonss Globe Works, on
Duquesne way, below Sixth street.
sit seemed to begin, he continued, with
a cold and cough. Ny nose would run
freely. Then, after time, it seemed to
clog up so, that was hardly able to breathe
through it. There would be dull pain in
my forehead, over my eyes, and ringing and
buzzing noise in my ears. My eyes would
fill with water, and were SO weak and in
famed that could hardly see to read. I
had to be always hemming and hawking,
and raising phlegm, especially after my
meals.
sit was not long, however, before what
supposed to be cold, or q succession of
colds, became more serious. There were in
tense pains in my head. and clogging mp
of my throat which made my breathing very
difficult l had sharp. shooting pains in my
chest, running through to the shoulder
blades. Dizzy spells would come over me,
accompanied by frequent palpitation of the
heart, which made me miserable all the
time.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-29

II lost steadily in flesh. NV sleep didn' t
seem to do me any good. would get up in
the morning feeling as tired as when I went
to bed. My appetite failed. Night sweats
weakened me terribly. had feverish spells,
followed by a cold. chilly feeling, which
made me unfit for business. Whatever /
would take on my stomach seemed to rest
like heavy load there. I would have a
feeling of discomfort and nausea after eat
ing. would sit down to the table with q
hearty appetite, and would only eat few
mouthfuls.
I tried everything and everybody, but
grew steadily wesker and worse. My head
and throat became almost unbearable. The
pains in my chest and night sweats in
creased. Atlast read in a newspaper OF a
case similar to my own which had been
treated and cured by Drs. Copeland &
Blair. I went to see them myself, and
found their charges very reasonable and
within my means, though I am not a rich
man. Although they did not promise much,
/ felt that they could help me.
They did, indeed. I improved steadily
from the start under their treatment. My
head and throat became clear. The night
sweats disappeared. gained in weight,
and had no more pains in my chest or pal
pitation of the heart. My friends noticed my
improvement and congratulated me on 1t. I
feel well and strong now; quite like another
man.
1t was not by any means q temporary i'm
provement. continued to get stronger and
better, until the last trace of my trouble passed
away. There is not sign of it left now. I am
q well and hearty man, and feel very grateful
to Drs. Copeland & Blair for my complete
and entire recovery"
Mr.. Charles A. Miller. who makes this state
ment, is engaged, as stated, at A. Speer &
Sons Globe Works. on Duquesne way below
Sixth street, He lives in Ohio township, eight
miles out on the Fort Wayne road, and his
statement can be easily verified.

II WnA Murder.

The Coroner's inquest on the death of DIR.
Charles H. Miller, who died in the West
Penn Hospital from wounds received in
some mysterious way, was concluded yester-
day. He was found, as will be remembered,
in box car on the Allegheny Valley Rail-
road. The jury's verdict was that he came
to his death from wounds inflicted with a
blunt instrument in the hands of persons
unknown. Special Officer Edward Fill
linger, of the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
was censured for not making more careful
investigation of the car in which DR.. Miller
was found. Coroner Mcdowell is confident
that it is clear case of murder; the police
think otherwise.
