was requested to visit Miss Mary E Station,
seven miles from town, Who ior seven
weeks had been suffering excrEciating
agony from some blood POISON, supposed
to be poison oak. On last Tuesday, at her
r. quest, I went to see her, and e xpected to
see great suffering, but was MT pref arod
Tor the set ne that net me. | found the
patient broken out ali Over with an crup-
ton which had cccasioned such intense
itching that 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 haze to be held, ard
her screams could be heard a long distance.
She would pray for death to come to he
relief; her whole b dy was purple an9
raw, eEuded a y low water which satn-
rated the bed through several tt OK quilts
that day she had possessed herself of q
thick gutta-percha coarse comb, and before
she could be prevented, had raked herself
with it with such force as to breed out
ONE of the teeth, thus >dding to her agony.
She was attended by some good physicians
as Tarboro and her neighEorhood could
afford, but their treatment afforded ONLY
occasional relief by outward applications,
Ind no permanent benefit, rs the par
oxYsms continued to return with increas-
ing violence. Upon viewing the condition
of the patient l called the family together

then gave her a large dose of the Bitters
and as o as the paToXysm YVES over,
sponged her whole body with the Wash
While doing so she would call cut, "Oh
that does feel 81 good" l then gave hel
another dose of the Bitters, and she was
soon in a sweet sleep. l continued this
treatment, and whenever the itching woulc
recur l would sponge the body instantly
with the Wash, which in every instance
allayed in the irritation or 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
