We arc about to publish the most re-.
markablo experience which has ever
been known in the history Of the world.
1t occurred III Sidney, o., and is q case
which moi only includes the most clear
and definite Of statements from the per-
son her self but which has all tho Nb-
Aorbing'realisn ofa romance, and all
tho force Of unqucstiOnNblc truth. Fol.
lowing Is tho statement, which can be
lead with tho greatest interest:
II am young lady, and Ike, most
young indies, shrink from appearing III
public or seeing my name In print, but
have passed through m experience so
remarkable TINT | feel compelled to
make itpublic. I know there IRE many
young ladies', elderly ladies, and men
too, for TINT matter, who arc in tho very
greatest danger. and yet who do not
Know it. 70 all such my experience
will prove Invaluable.
"a little over two years ago took n
severe cold, and MS many others do,

very annoying, and | kept thinking
every day it would pass away, but, in.
stead Of doing SO, it grew worse. |
coughcd considerably, but it was not tho
cough alone that annoyed me. | was
frequently ievcrisll, my lips were p0rch-
cd, my breath hot. My appetite was
poor, and Lost in flesh daily. Sometimes
my cheeks would be very red, and again
would be as pale as death. ! tried to
sleep regularly, but could not, and when
did sleep ! was troubled with horrible
dreams. In this way several months
passed by, until iinallyI BECAME sowcak
that was compelled to taketg my bed.
II cannot and do not believe tho
greatest writer in tho world could de-
scribe what | suffered. For eighteen
months, was unable to help myself in,
tho least, and my mother, sister and
brother were completely worn out tax
ing care Of me. l had 10 less than seven
different physicians, who came to SEQ
inc separately, and were also often in
consultation together. One and Ill pro-
nounccd mo incurablt, and said must
die. Beyond the possibility OF a doubt
had consumption in its Inst stages. OF
course, in addition to MI the medicines
OF the doctors, ! took cough syrups and
cod liver oils, which hoped would cure
me, or at least bring me relief. But,
alas, none OF them even eased my suf-
fcring.
zone day, all! how well remember
1t, my mother and sister came into my
room with tears rolling down their
checks. Between their sobs they told
me that had but Il short time to live.
and that the best physicians had said
50, and that they had done Nil in their
power. knew tins, and was willing to
die, but the thought came to me that /
would like to sec our town once more,
and perhaps look into the faces OF some
ofmy friends. My mother and sister
looked amazed, and the physicians
even more SO. 1T was simply suicide
they said, and you certainly will never
return TO tho house alive But, with
tho weakness and wilfulness Of n dying
person, l insisted, and. us tho day was
pleasant, they finally yielded, and q
carriage was secured in which they
fitted up bed of pillows. l was carried
out, placed in the carriage, and slowly
driven about the Court House Square.
People looked Oh in wonder, and I was
taken home more dead than alive. My
relatives all stood about my bed expect
ing to see mo die ut any moment, while
friends, who had seen mo driven out,
came to call at the house
"Onc OF the friends who called had in
her hand il trial bottle OF medicine,
which had been given her. 1t claimed
to be cure for, consumption, and she
urged my mother to give mo some OF it.
When SO many able physicians have de-
clared that consumption cannot be
cured, and when in its first stages it is
so difficult to cheek, how could any
medicine possibly hol pine, ontheverge OF
the grave? But q drowning person will
grasp at 4 straw, and SO my mother gave
me some OF the remedy, and continued
at short intervals to administer it.
Somehow after taking two doses, l felt
better, and so another bottle was pro-
cured without delay. Very soon a de-
cidcd improvement was noticed in my

remedy, which was not only doing me
SO much good, but was SO pleasant to
the taste, and solcmnly affirm that
owe my complete recovery and rescue
from the grave to DR.. Acker's English
Remedy for Consumption, which was
the only thing that could and did save
me. To-day am as well as ] ever was
in my life; strong and in perfect health,
indeed, my friends consider my recovery
nothing short OF q miracle.
This, in brief, is tho story OF my
suffering and salvation, and wish that
every man, woman and child in Amcri-
ca might knowit, for see SO many who
are walking in the same dangerous road
That was ncglccting what they think
are slight colds, but which are certain
to result in consumption, and perhaps
death, unless taken in time. will

about my case, and remain,
