While visiting Tarborc on July 9Th, ]
was requested to visit Miss Mary E Station,
seven miles from town, who for sever
weeks had been suffering excruciating
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. 1 found the
patient brok en- out ali over with an erup-
ton which had occasioned such intense
itching hat 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 alrng 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 tn OK quilts
that day she had possessed herself of a
thick gutta-percha coarse comb, and before
h could be prevented, had raked herself
with it with such force as to bred out
ome 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 I called the family together
and told them to bear witness that I PROM
IsED NOTHING. / could not tell whether
my Remedy would relieve or not, as 1 had
never even imagined such suffering, but it
could do nc harm and might do good. /
then gave her a large dose of the Bitters
and as soon as the paroxysm WIS over,
sponged her whole body with the Wash
While doing 50 she would call out, "Oh
hat 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
allaycd in the irritation or itching and
warded off those violent paroxsyms. She
did not have an attack during the day,
and by 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
the d sease was under perfect control. The
tching would lvuur, tut every time was
allayed by the application of tie Wash. !
left her Wednesday easy and comfortable,
tinued during the night and as long as
was necessary. 1 came again to see he
tod ~, Saturday, the 18th, and found h
up and dressed and in the regular prose
cutien 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
p'etely eradicate the poison from he,
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 / have
always claimed. that my Remedy in ar
infallible antic otp for all blood ~ urity.
