IFrom 1arboro Southe,ner. july I7.i
While visiting Tarboro, on July 9Th, l
was requested TO visit Miss Mary E Sta+on,
miles from town, who for seven
weeks had been suffering excruciatinp
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 tho scene that met me. / found the
patient broken out all ovcr with an erup-
ton which had occasioned such intense
itching tLa during h paFoxysms 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, an:
her screams could be heard q long distance.
She would pray for death to come to her
relief; her whole body was purple ana
raw, exuded q 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
she could be prevented, had raked herself
with it with such force as to breed OUT

She was attended by some 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 I called the family together
.~l Ao1I l-- o. 49, ---~
IsED NoTn1Ne. 1 could not tell whether
nay Remedy would relieve or not, as 1 had
never even imagined such suffering, but it
could do n o harm and might do good. l
then gave her q large dose of the Bitters
and as soon as the paroxysm YVES over,
sponged her whole body with the Wash
While doing SO she would call cut, "Oh
that does feel SO good" I then gave her
another dose of the Bitters, and she was
soon in q sweet sleep. I 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 OF itching and
wardei OF those violent paroxsyms. She
did not have an attack during the day
and by 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
the disease was under perfect control. TIL,
itching would recur, | ut every time wa
allayed by the application OF tie Wash.
left her Wednesday easy and comfortable
with directions for the treatment to g con
tinued during the night and as long d
was necessary. L came again to see be
tod y, Saturday, the 18th, and found b
up and dressed and in the regular prose
cutien of her household duties. She is er
tirely T live alth ugh she vii. of course
ihave to take the Bitters some time to com
p'etely eradicate the poison from he
blood. During Wednesday she frequent,
call for the Rittcrs. as she craved its sooth
ing and quoting effects, and during the da
[ administered a whole bottle, with tn
above results, thus proving, what / hav
always claimed, hat my Remedy in q
infallible antiG ote for all blood ~ urity.
