Iron T'arooro southerner, july II.

From 7ar6oro Southerner, july It.,
While visiting Tarboro, on July 9Th,
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, 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, and had scratched
and torn herself to pieces until her agony
was INDISPENSABLE. During these par
oxysms she would have to be held, an
her screams could be heard a long distance.
She would pray for death to come to he,
relief; her whole b,dy was purple and
raw xuded 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
ONE 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 1 called the family together
and told them to bear " illness that I PROM
IsED NOTHING. 1 could not tell whether
my Remedy would relieve or not. as l had
never wen 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 o as the paroxysm YVES over,
sponged her whole body with the Wash
While doing SO she would call out, ooh
hat does feel SO good" l then gave her
another dose of the Bitters, and she was
| o o in a sweet sleep I continued this
treatment, and whenever the itching would
recur I would sponge the body instantly
with the Wash, which in every instance
allayed in the irritation or itching and
wardei off those violent paroxsyms. She

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 he
tod W, Saturday, the 18th, and found b
up AMI dressed and in the regular prose
cuticn Of her household duties. She is en-
tirely r licve 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 Rittcrs, as she craved its sooth
ing and quoting effects, and during the day
l administered a whole bottle, with the
above results, thus proving, what l have
always claimed, hat my Remedy in an
infallible antic ote for all blood urity.
