markable Incident, Every Word of
Which is Found to be True.
Toledo Blade
A few days since we published one of
the most wonderful statements that has
ever appeared in print 1t was made by
Miss Bertha Shorr, young lady of Sid
ney, Ohio, who has passed throug gh an ex-
perience probably never before known in
history. 1t was SO unusual, so remarka-
BILE, that complete investigation of it's
truth or falslty became an absolute ne
cessity. That investigation has been
made, and the surprising truths are given
herewith:
A representative of this paper made a
personal call upon some of the relatives
prominent professional people in Sidney.
DR.. J. G. Geyer said: "When I was
once that her case was critical one, and
best physicians. We were unable to
cure her. The pleural sack filled with
water and forced the lungs up out of
place. Then terrible inflammation set in
and we battled with it long and hard, but
were unable to help her. Nobody
thought she would ever recover, but she
did, and I have recently examined her
lungs and found them to be in healthy
condition.
Mr.. G. F. Hickox, prominent merchant
of Sidney, located at the corner of Ohio
and Poplar streets, stated that he knew
the "Shorr" family well, and that during
the time Miss Bertha was so sick his wife
ho;
The girl was in most pitiable condition,
and his wife prevailed upon him at one
time to go with her and take look at
the sufferer. 81 will never forget the
sight," he said, ''as long as l live. l can
best describe her appearance by saying
that she reminded me of the pictures we
used to see during the war, of our poor,
half starved soldiers, with that deathly
look about the face, and with their long,
bony fingers. It is simply wonderful that
she ever walked again. Iwell remember
the ride she took about the Court House
Square. We all thought, as we watched
her, that it was her last ride on this earth,
but she rallied, and came out all right,
and is as we'll as ever"
Rev. A. H. zimmerman, pastor of the
Western Avenue Lutheran Church,
said he knew Miss Shorts family very
we'll, and they attended his church.
He we'll remembered the ter
rible suffering that Miss Bertha
endured for many months. Her trouble
was consumption, and two of the best
physicians of the town had told him she
was incurable. He considered her re-
covery little short of miracle, but she
has fully recovered, and is now in bloom
ing health.
DR.. H. E. Beebe said: "Yes, I treated
Miss Bertha Shorr for long time, and
her complete recovery is one of the:most
remarkable things | have seen during
my long experience as a physician. She
was positively nothing but skin and bones,
mere skeleton and we were compelled
to carry her in sheets. Her lungs were
completely filled, and was positive that
she would die. But she has recovered,
as she has told you, and l consider it
simply marvellous"
Mr. G. Steinly, brother-in law of Miss
Shorr, said that his sister-in-law had
been confined to her bed for more than
eighteen months. Recovery was the
last thing we thought of, and we only
sought to make her last hours as pleasant
as possible. have never known anyone
to be so sick as my sister-in law and not
recover. Physicians did not do it, our
most careful attention did not do it, but
DR.. Acker's English Remedy for Con-
sumption cured her, and she is now the
picture of health. 1t seems almost too
wonderful to believe, and should net
be surprised at anyone's doubling it,
but it is every word true, and am will
ing to confirm it's truth at any time"
DIR. A. w. Reddish said that he was in
consultation with Drs. Beebe and Geyer,
and that Miss Shorr had consumption,
beyond the shadow of a doubt. There
we're cavaties in her lungs and abcesses
would form and break. He did not see
how she could possibly live, but she has
fully recovered and is strong and well.
''The case baffled us all, and have many
times referred to her cure when in con-
sultation with other physicians"
A daughter of the late Senator Robert
son said that herself and several girl
friends we're doing missionary work and
learned of Miss Shorr's sickness. They
went at once to her home and found the
family completely worn out from watch
ing and care. They at once sought to
assist, never for moment thinking she
could recover. They watched over her,
took her delicacies, and when the change
for the better took place she recovered
rapidly. In conclusion she said: II
think it is one Of the most wonderful
cures ever recorded"
Mr.. H. G. Ayers, the popular druggist
of Sidney, said: Il sold the. first bottle
OF the remedy to the parents of Miss
Shorr, and it is simply wonderful whatit
did for her. DIR. Aeker's English Remedy
is wonderfully popular in this town and
deservedly SO. No such recovery from
almost certain death has ever come to
my notice. 1t is almost past belief"
The above are most wonderful state
ments but they prove the marvellous ma
ture of this case beyond question. They
also show how important such an ex-
perience may be in the case Of others,
perhaps your own, you who may be
travelling the same dangerous road, but
who can yet be saved il you will but con-
slider and act in time.
