| Which Is Found to be True.
Toledo Blade, t4 "a
a fcw days since We published one OF
tho mostwonderiul statements that has
evor appeared in print. II was made
BY Miss Bertha Shorr, young lady OF
Sidney, Ohio, who has passed through
IN experience probably never before
known in history. 1t was SO unusual,
SO remarkable, that u complete invests
cation OF It's truth or ialsity became an
absolute necessity. That investigation
has been made, and tho surprising
truths arc given herewith:
A representative OF this paper made
q personal oall upon some OF the reid
tives OF the young lady, and also upon
many prominent professional people in
Sidney. What they said is simply re-
mnrknblc. '11f. III
Dr.. j. &. Gcycr suid: "When l was
first called TO sec Miss Shorr saw at
once that her case was critical one, and
called In consultation several OF our
best physicians We were unable to
euro her. Tho plcural sack filled with
water and forced tho lungs up out Of
place. Then terrible inflammation set
in and We batllcd with tlong and hard,
but were unable to help her. Nobody
thought she would over recover, but
che did, and hhvc recently examined
her lungs and found them to BIO in n
healthy condition."
| Mr.. q. I. Hlckox, 4 prominent NOR
chant OF Sidney, located at the corner OF
Ohio and Poplar streets, stated that lG
knew the "Shorr' family well, and that
during tho time Miss Bertha was SO
sick, his wife was 4 frequent caller ut
their homo. The poor girl was in u
most pitiablo condition, and his wife
prevailed upon him ut one time to 90
| with her anltake lool; ut tho sufferer.
" will never forget the sight," he said,
"as long as | live. can best describe
her appearance by saying that she re-.
minded inc OF tho .pictures We used to
sec during the war, OF our poor, half
starved soldiers, with that dcathly look
about the face, and with their long,
bony fingers. 1t is simply wonderful
that she ever walked again. l well re-.
member the ride she took about tho
court house square. We all thought,
as VIC watched her, that it was her last
ride OH this earth, but she rallied, and
came out all right, and is as well as
ever"
Rev. A. II. Minncman, pastor oil the
Western Avenue Lutheran Church,
said he knew Miss Shorr's family very
well, and that they attended, his church.
Iowcll remembered The terrible suffer
ing that Miss Bertha endured for many
months. Her trouble was coasump-
ton, and two Of the best physicians OF
the town had told him she was incura-
bic. lie considered her recovery little
short OF q miracle, but she has fully re-
covered, and is now in blooming health.
DR.. Fl. L. Becbc said: "Ycs, l treat
ed Miss Bertha Shorr Tor n long time,
and her complete recovery is one OF the
most remarkable things have seen
during my long experience as q physi-
clan. She was positively nothing but
skin and bones, 4 mere skeleton, and
We were compelled to carry her in
! sheets. Her lungs were completely fill
ed, and was positive that she would
die. But she has recovered, MS she has
told you, and l consider it simply mar
veous."
Mr.. G. Steinly, brothcr-in-law. OF Miss
Shorr, said that his sister-in-luw had
been confined TO her bed for moro than
eighteen months. Recovery was the
last thing wo Thoughts OF, and we only
sought to make her last hours as pleas
ant us possible. | have never known
anyone to be so sick as my sistcr-in-
law and recover. Physicians did not do
it, our most careful attention did not do
it, but Dr.. Ackers English Remedy for
Consumption cured her, and she is now
the picture OF health. It seems almost
too wonderful 10 believe, and should
not be surprised at anyone's doubling
it, but it is every word true, and / am
willing to confirm its truth ut any
time"
| DR.. A. w. Reddish said that he was
i'll consultation with Drs Becbe and
Geycr. and thats Miss Shorr had con-
sumption, beyond tho shadow Of y
doubt. There were cavities in her lungs
and abcesses would form and break. He
did not see how she could possibly live,
but she has fully recovered and is
strong and we'll. "The case batiled lis
all, and have many times referred to
hor cure when in consultation with 9TH
or physicians"
\ daughter OF the late Senator Rob-
crtson said that herself and several girl
friends were doing missionary work
and learned OF Miss Shorts sickness.
They went at once to her home and
found the family completely worn out
from watching and care. They at once
sought 10 assist, never for moment
thinking she could recover. They
watched over her, took her delicacies,
and when the change for. the better
took place she recovered rapidly. In
conclusion she said: II think it is one
OF the most wonderful cures ever re-
corded"
Mr.. II. G. Ayers, the popular drug
gist OF Sidney, said: 81 sold the first
bottle OF the remedy to the parents OF
Miss Shorr, and it is simply wonderful
what it did for her. DR.. Acker's Eng
fish remedy is wonderfully popular in
this town, and descrvedly So. No such
recovery from almost certain death has
ever come to my notice. 1t is almost
past belief"
The above are most wonderful state.
ments, but they provo tho marvellous
nature OF this case beyond question.
They also show how important such an
experience may be i'll the case OF others,
perhaps your own, you who may be
travelling the same dangerous road, but
who can yet be saved if you will but
