The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1892-02-23

We are about to publish the most re-
markable experience which has ever
been known in the history OF the world.
1t occurred in Sidney, Ohio, and is a
case which not only includes the most
clear and definite of statements from
the person herself, but which has all the
absorbing realism Of a romance, and
all the force OF unquestionable truth.
81 am yonug lady, and like most
young ladies, shrink from appearing in
public or seeing my name in print, but
/ have passed through an experience so
remars able that l feel compelled to
make It public. Iknow there are many
young ladies, elderly ladies. and men
too, for that matter, who are in the very
greatest danger, and yet who do not
know il. TO all such my experience will
prove invaluable.
"A little over two years ago took a
sewers cold, and, as so many Others do,
carelessly neglected it. 1t was very,
annoying, and kept thinking every
day il would pass away, but, instead of
doing so it grew worse. eoughed con-
siderably. but it was not the cough
alone that annoyed me. was frequent
ly feverish, my lips were parched, my
breath hot My appetite was poor, and
l lost in flesh daily Sometimes my
checks would be very red, and again L
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 finally became so
weak that was compelled to take to
my bed.

months ! was unable to ielp myself in
the least, and my mother. sister and
brother We're completely worn out tax

different physicians, who came to see
me separately, and were also often in
consultation together. One and all pro-
nounced me incurable, and said L must
die. Beyon ) the possibility of doubt
had consumption in its last stages.
OF course, in addition to all the medi-
cines of the doctors, i 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
suffering
zone day, ahi how well reT Tember
it, my mother and sister came into my
room with Tears rolling down their
cheeks. Between their sobs they told
me that had but short time to live,
and that the best physicians had said
so, and that they had done all in their
power. knew this, and was willing to
die, but tho thought came to me that 1
would like to see our .own once more,
and perhaps look into the faces of some
of my friends. My mother and sister
looked amazed. and the physicians even
more so. 1T was simply suicide, they
said, and you certainly will never re-
turn to the house alive But, with the
weakness and wilfulness of q dying per-
son, | insisted, and, as the day was
pleasant, they finally yielded, and car
riage was secured in which they fitted

placed in the carriage, and slowly driven
about the Court House Square People
looked on in wonder, and was taken
home more dead than alive. My rela-
tiyes all stood about my bed expecting
to see me die at any moment, while
friends. who had seen me driven out,
came 10 call at the house.
Zone OF the friends who called had in
her hand trial bottle of medicine,
which had been given her. 1t claimed
to be a cure for con umption, and she
urged my mother TO give me some OF it.
When so many abe physicians have de-
clared that consumption cannot be
cured. and, when in its first stages it is
so difficult to check, how could any
medicine possibly help me, on the verge
of the grave? But drowning person

gave me some OF the remedy, and con-

it. Somehow after taking two doses, /

procured without delay Very soon a

remedy. which was not only doing me
SO much good, but was so pleasant to

indeed, my friends consider my recoy-

This, in brief, is the story Of my suf-

every man, woman and child in America
might know it, for l see so many who
are walking in the same dangerous
road that 1 was; neglecting what they
think are slight colds, but which are
certain to result in consumption, and
perhaps death, unless taken in time.
