AHf STUBBORN THINGS.
fFrom Tar5oro SoutAe,ner, July III
While visiting Tarboro, on July 9Th, 1
was requested to visit Miss Mary e station,
seven miles from town, Who for seven
weeks had been suffering excruciating
agony from some blood poison, supposed
to be poison oak. On last Tuesday, at her
request, I went to see her. and expected to
see great suffering, but was not prepared
for the scene that met me. 1 found the
patient broken out all ov,r with an erup-
ton which had cceasioned such intense
itching that during the paroxysms she Wal
perfectly uncomfortable, and had scratched
and torn herself to pieces until her agony
was Undesirable. During these par
o1ysms b 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 yellow water which satu-
rated b bed through. several tn OK quilts
that day she had possessed herself ola
thick gutta-percha coarse comb, and before
she could be prevented, had raked herself
with it with such force IS to bresd d
some of the teeth, thus adding to her agony.
She was attended by some good physicians
as Tarboro and her neighborhoud 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 I called the family together
and told them to bear witness that I PROM
IsED NOTHING. I could not tell whether
my Remedy would relieve or not, as I had
never even imagined such suffering, but il
could do no harm and might do good. I
then gave her a large dose of the Bitters
and as soon as the paroxysm YVES oyer.I
sponged her whole body with the Wash.
While doing so she would call out, "Oh,
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 1 would sponge the body instantly
with the Wash, which in every instance
adlayed 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 was
allayed by the application Of the Wash.
left her Wednesday easy and comfortable,
with directions for the treatment to be con-
tinued during the night and as long a.
was Necessary. I came again to see her
Saturday, the 18th, and found her
up and dressed and in the regular prose-
cution of her household duties. She Ia en-
relieve l., although she will, of course,
have to take the Bitters some time to com.
eradicate the poison from hei
blood. During Wednesday she frequently
call for the Bitters, as she craved it's sooth
ing and quieting effects, and during the day
[ administered a whole bottle, with the
above results, thus proving, what I have
claimed, that my Remedy in an
lnfallible antidote for all blood Inn urity.
