FACTS ARR STUBBORN THINGS.

While visi ing Tarboro, on July 9th, l
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, l went to see her, and expected to
see great suffering, but was not prepared
for the scene that met ne. I found the
patient broken out all over with an erup-
ton which had cccasioned 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 willow water which satu-
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 "dding to her agony.
She was attended by someg good physicians
as Tarboro and her neighborhood 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 | called the family together
l ool fN1I +lo-, - 100, 49,, 4l1+ n@-r
IsED 1 could not tell whether
my Remedy would relieve or not, as 1 had
never even imagined such suffering, but it
could do no harm and might do good. l
then gave her a large dose of the Bitters
and as Don as the paToxysm WIS over, l
sponged her whole body with the Wash.
While doing so she would call cut, ooh,
that does feel so good" I 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 l would sponge the body instantly
with the Wash, which in every.instance
allayed in the irritation or itching and
warded off those violent paroxsyms. She
did not have an attack during he 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. 1
left her Wednesday easy and comfortable,
with directions for the treatment to be con
tinued during the night and as long as
was necessary. l came again to see her
tod ", Saturday, the 18th, n found her
up and dressed and in the regular prose
cutiOn of her household duties. She is en-
tirely r lieve !, alth ugh she will of course,
have to take the Bitters some time to com
pletely eradicate the poison from heJ
blood. During Wednesday she frequently
call for the Bitters, as she craved its sooth
ing and quoting effects, and during the day
| administered a whole bottle, with the
above results, thus proving, what I have
always claimed, that my Remedy in an
infallible antidote for all blood m, urity.
