While visi ing Tarbo-o, on July 9Th, ]
was requested to visit Miss Mary E Station,
seven miles from town, who for seven
weeks had been suffering excruciatine
agony from some blood poison, Supposed
to be poison oak. On last Tuesday, at Ter
request, l went to see her. and expected to
see great suffering, but was not prepared
for the SCI ne that met me. | found the
patient broken out AL ov. T with an erup-
tinn which had cccasioned such intense
itching tat during the paroxysms she was
perfectly uncomfortable, and had scratched
and torn herself to pieces until hrr agony
was indescrib BILE. During these par
oxysms she would haze to be held, anG
her screams could be heard a l. ne distance.
She would pray for death to come to her
relief; her whole b dy was purple and
raw, eXuded a y"llow water which satu-
rated the bed through several tn OK quilts
that day she had possessed herself of a
thick gu%tta-percha coarse comb, and before
she could be prevented, had raked herself
with it with such force as to bresd out
some of the teeth, thus dIing to her agony.
She vas attended by some good physicians
as Tarboro AMI her neightorllord could
afford, but their treatment afforded only
occasional relief by outward applications,
Ind no permanent benefit, is the par
oxYsms continued to retuTn with increas-
ing violence. Upon Viewing the condition
of the patient l called the family together
and told them to bear witness that l PROM
IsED l could not tell whether
my Remedy would relieve or not, as l had
| never even imagined such suffering, but it
could do no harm and might d. good. l
then gave her a large do Sc of the Bitters
and as 50 N as the paToxysm WIS over,
sponged her whole body with the Wash.
While doing SO she wuu'd call cut, "Oh,
that does feel SO good" l then gave her
soon in a sweet sleen. [ continued this
treatment, and whenever the itching would
recur I would sponge the body instantly
with the Wash, which in every instance
allayed n the irritation or i'chlng and
warde / off those violent paTox*yms. She
