cu-pi-a was Immediately given her, and its
beneficial effects were instantaneously felt
and shown. The ebbing wave OF life surped
back into her emaciated and pain-racEed
frame, and she began to mend. Quickly
her sores began TO heal, and remarkable
to relate, In less than nine months. with
nothing whatever in the way of Blood
Remedy taken but La-cu-pi-a, every sore
had disappeared and she was well once
more. No woman ever lived who enioyed
better health than Mrs. Harper now does.
When it is stated that, from weight OF
only EIGHTY POUNDS she Jumped to one
hundred and twenty-five pounds, slight
idea can be obtained Of the wonderful
change wrought by the use of La.cu-pi-a.
The history OF medicine the world over
does not show a more astonishing cure
than this, and the gratitude OF Mrs. Harper
and her friends Isl too great to be expressed.
She knows and freely declares that La-cu-
pi-a, and La-cu-pi-a alone, saved her life.
Matte Jones's Case.
Those who have carefully read the cases
| given above are prepared TO appreciate in its
extraordinary and striking significance the
case we are about to narrate. With the
exception OF the preceding cases, it is prob
| ably without parallel in the annals of
medicine. Since Esculapius first went

the human race-Disease- more re-
markable cure has been effected by any
physician, living or dead, or by any modi-

| Jones, who then lived at Columbus, was
| the unfortunate victim, not only OF Scroi-
ula-in itself enough for one woman to
suffer and for one physician TO cure-but

pable OF assuming Little did Miss Jones,
little did her family imagine when, in
| the fall OF 1884, a little sore made its APP
pearance upon her left leg, that il was
| the beginning OF such a siege OF suffering
and such train OF ills. But when this lit
| tie sore became Running Sore; when il
bored its fostering way down through the
| flesh to the very bone; when every nerve
that rldiated from it thrilled with pain
that made her cry aloud in anguish, then
she realized that II was no ordinary sore.

called in, ''it is an Ulcer, and an Ulcer OF

did, again aud again. "Ahl" they dc.

pain. Alas the scraping seemed to do no
more good than the poulticing. The sore

most frantic with pain, and the doc

was desperate, what followed? As il this
