While visiting Tarboro, on July 9th, I
was requested to visit Miss Mary E Station,
seven miles from town, who for seven
weeks had been suffering excruciating
agony from some blood pc son, supposed
to be poison oak. On last Tuesday, at Der
request, I went to see her. and expected to
see great suffering, but was not 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 indescribsbl j During these par
oxysms she would hare 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 a " low water which satu-
rated h bed through several tn 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, thus dding to her agory.
She was attended by some good physicians
as Tarboro and her neightorhood could
afford, but their treatment afforded only
occasional relief by outward applications,
Ind no permanent benefit, as the par
o1Ysms continued to return with increas-
ing violence. Upon viewing the condition
of the patient l called the family together
and told them to bear witness that I PROM
IsED NOTHING. I could not tell whether
my Remedy would relieve OF not, as I had
never even imagined such suffering, but it
could do no harm and might do good. l
then gave her a large dose of the Bitters
and as soon as the paroxysm WIS over,
sponged her whole body with the Wash.
While doing SO she would call cut, "Oh,
that does feel SO good" I then gave her
another dose of tie Bitters, and she was
soon in a sweet sleep. I continued this
treatment, and whenever the itching would
recur l would sponge the body instantly
with the ash, which in every instance
allayed in the irritation or i'ching and
warde1 off those violent paroxsyms. She
did not have an attack during tho day,
and by 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
the disease was under perfect control. The
itching would recur, tut every time was
allayed by the application of ii e Wash. l
left her Wednesday easy and comfortable,
with directions for the treatment to lie con-
tinued during the night n as long as
was necessary. 1 came again to see her

up and dressed and in the regular prose-
cution of her household duties. She is en-
tirely r, lieve ! u lth ugh she will q fcourse,
have to take the Bitters some time to COM
p'etely eradicate the poison from heI
blood. During Wednesday she frequent,
ing and quictins effects, and during the day
l administered a whole bottle, with the
above results, hus proving, what l have
always claimed. that my Remedy in an
infallible antidote for all blood ~, nrity.
