From IGTb0T0 S0utheTner, JuIy IT,.
While visiting Tarborc, on July Sth, ]
was requested to visit Miss Mary E Station,
weeks had been suffering excruciating
agony from some blood poison, supposed
to be poison oak. On last Tuesday, at her
request, | went to see her. and expected to
see great suffering, but was not prepared
for the scene that met me. l found the
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 indescribable 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 a y How water which satu-
rated the 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
ONE of the teeth, thus ldding to her agony.
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
oxysms 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 PR M
IsED NOTHING. I could not tell whether
my Remedy would relieve or not, as 1 had
never ever imagined such suffering, but it
could do no harm and might do good. !
then gave her a large dose of the Bitters
and as soon as the paToxysm YVES over,
sponged her whole body with the Wash.
While doing SO she would call cut, ooh,
that does feel SO good" 1 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 I would sponge the body instantly
with the Wash, which in every instance
allayed in the irritation or itching and
warde 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, tut every time was
allayed by the application of tt e Wash.

was Necessary. l came again to see hel
