There has been great Improvements in this
class of medicine in late years and some i'm

of this class of medicines, and long expe-
rience, enabled me at last to perfect the
compound, La cup ia. l will give you
some facts as l have them concerning the
use of La-cu-p-i-a in a single case Of scrofula,
hundreds of which may be cited. Mrs. Milo
Ingram, of Pittsburg, Pa, some time in 1874
met with an accident producing slight
dies were applied, but, instead OF growing
better, it continued to grow worse. AT last
she was obliged to consult a physician. A
prominent physician of Allegheny City was
employed, who at once recognized that there
was something peculiar about the case, and
after treating it without avail short time he
summoned council of physicians. The

The doctors, or ally oucl Il with the terrible
affiction Of the unfortunate Lady, proceeded
tenderly to inform her that her trouble was

of its fatal termination, They continued to
treat her for time, but, as they could give
her no encouragement whatever, she became
discouraged, and began to treat with can

ment she remained six months. The en-
largement had steadily increased during her
treatment, but by this tine it had liberated
and become an extensive running sore.
Weakened in body by the drain upon her
strength OF the discharging ulcer, distracted
in mind by her protracted and severe suffer
ing, she finally sought aid of the well-known
cancer specialist, DR.. Kingsley, of Rome,

Rose Cancer. The doctor was able to some

cure her. After two years OF continuous
treatment he pronounced her case iucurable,
and she, in coTplete despair and excrucia-
ting torture that well-nigh destroyed hsr
reason, was brought back to her home TO
await the enc. The horrible, eating ulcer
had laid bare the ribs of the right side and
part OF breast hone. The remaining part Of
the breast was entirely loosened from the
bones, and hung only by the skin above.
Shortly after returning home ulcers began to
make their appearance on both legs and her
face and head. The Disagreement of her
face was so great as to make recognition i'm
possible. She had been slowly but steadily
losing strength from the beginning, but in
consequence of the additional ulcers she now
began to sink rapidly. The doctor who had
been called after her return, with the hope
that he would be able to mitigate her fright

friends seemed alike impotent to bring any
