FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS.

lFr0m Idr0oTo Sotthefner, july Ill
While visiting Tarboro, on July sth,,1
was requested to visit Miss Mary E 'Ssaton,
seven miles from town, who for seven
weeks had been suffering exc~ruciating
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, 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, andha6 scratched
and torn herself to pieces until her agony
was indescribable. During these par.
oxysms h 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 the bed through several thick 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 adding 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,
and no permanent benefit, as the par.
oxysms continued to return with increas,
Ing violence. Upon viewing the condition
of the patient / called the family together
and Old them to bear witness that I FROM
1sED NOTHING. l could not tell whether
my Remedy would relieve or not, as I had
never even imagined such suffering, hut 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 was over, +
sponged her whole body with the WASH.
While doing 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. 1 continued this
treatment, and whenever the itching would
recur I would sponge the body instantly
with the Wash, which in every instance

warded OF those violent parotsyms. She
did not have al 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: I
left her Wednesday easy and comfortable,
with directions for the treatment to be con.
tinued during the night and al long as
was necessary. I came again to see 'her
