FACTS ART STUBBORN THINGS.
From Iarboro Southerner. Julr II.
While visiting Tarboro, on July .Sth, ii
requested to visit Miss Mary E Station,
seven miles, from town, who for seven
weeks had been suffering e~xcruciating
agony from some blood poison, supposed
to be poison oak. On last Tuesday, at her
request, l went to see her. and expected to
see great suffering, but wasnot prepared
for the scene that met me. l found the
patient broken out all over with an erup-
ton which had occasioned such intense
itching that during the paroxysms she was
perfectly uncomfortable, and had scratched
and torn herself to pieces until her agony
was Undesirable. During these par
oxysms she would have to be held, and
her screams could be heard a long distance. |
She would pray for death to come to her
relief; her whole body was purple and
raw, exuded 4 yellow water which satu-
rated theb bed through several til ok quilts |
that day she had possessed herself of a
thick gutta-percha coarse comb, and before
she could be prevented, had raked herself
with it with such force as to bread out
some of the teeth, thusadding to her agony.
She was attended by some good physicians
as -Tarboro and her neighborhood could
afford, but their treatment. afforded only
occasional relief by, outward applications,
Ind no permanent benefit, sas the par
Foxysms continued TO return with increas.

of the patient Icalled the family together
and told them to bear witness that I PROM

never even imagined such suffering, but it
could do no harm and might do good. /
then gave her a large dose of the Bitters
l and as soon as the paroxysm WIS over, ]
sponged her whole body with the Wash.
While doins so she would call out, "Oh,
that does feel so good, I then gave her
another dose Of the Bitters, and she was
soon in a sweet sleep. L continued this
treatment, and whenever the itching would
recur l would sponge the body instantly
with the Wash, which in every instance
allayed in the irritation or itching and
warded off those violent paroxsyms. She
did not have an attack during the day,
and by 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
the disease was under perfect control. The
itching would recur, but every time wa
allayed by the application of the Wash. ]
left her Wednesday easy and comfortable
with directions fort h treatment to he con
