IRON IaT60TO S0utheTner, july H..
While visi' ing Tarboro. on July 9Th, I
was requested to visit Miss Mary E Station,
weeks had been suffering excruciating
agony from some blood poison, supposed
to be poison oak. On last Tuesday, at her
request, | went to see her, and expected to
see great suffering, but was not prepared
for the scene that met me. I found the !
patient broken out al over with an erup-
tion which hal occasioned such intens;
i.ching that during the paroxysms she was
perfectly uncomfortable, and had scratched
INC torn herself to pieces until htr agony
was indescribable. During these par
oxysms she would ave to be held, and
her screams could be heard a ling distance.
She would pray for death to come to her
relief; her whole b dy was purple ana
raw, exuded a y How 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
she could be prevented, had raked herself
with it with such force as to breed out
OLlC VI IL lezClu,t I1uS OOlLS W uCI cSOuy.
She was attended by some good physicians
as Tarboro and her ne~ighborhood could
afford, but their treatment afforded only
occasional relief by outward applications,
Ind no permanent benefit, as the par
oxYsms continued to return with lncreas-
ing violence. Upon viewing the condition
of the patient l called the family together
and told them to bear witness that I PROM
IsED NOTHING. l could not tell whether
my Remedy would relieve or not, as 1 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 soon as the paroxysm YVES over,
! sponged her whole body with the Wash
While doing SO she you'd call cut, "Oh
hat does feel SO good" l 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 I would sponge the body instantly
with the Wash, which in every instance
allayed in the irritation or itching and
warde1 off those violent paroxsyms. She
did not ave ar attack during the day,
and by 4 O'Clock on Wednesday afternoon
the disease was under perfect control The
tching would luuur, III every time was
ailayed by the application oe tie Wash.
left her Wednesday easy and comfortable,
with directions for the treatment to tie con
tinued during the night and as long as
was necessary. l came again to see he
tod ", Saturday, the 18th, and found II
up AMI dressed and in the regular prose
cutien Of her household duties. She is er
tirely r Ii We alth ugh she will of cour e
have to take the Bitters some time to com:
p'eteiy eradicate the poison from heI
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 tho
above results. thus proving, what l have
always claimed Il at my Remedy in al
infallible antic ote for al blood ~ Erity.
