HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL.
Physician Proves Its Value in a Very
Severe Case.

| Severe Case.
We recently reported new discov-
cry for the treatment of diseas-
es of the nerves and
brain, recently made by Westbrook
physician, and mentioned the fact that it
had proved highly successful in num-
Der of cases, and promised our readers
that we would investigate the matter
further. The Rockland Opinion of last
week gives the following account of a
case which came under their notice:
Considerable interest has been excit-
ed over the strange case of Mrs. La
vinia S. Fuller of South Warren. So
much comment has been made regarding
the matter that we have been led to in
vestigate the circumstances. We learn of
Mrs. Fuller, who by the way, is the
mother of Messrs. Abel M. and Alonzo
A. Fuller of the firm of A. M. Fuller d

Counce, wife of prominent citizen and
merchant of South Warren, and who
has been afflicted with a peculiar disease
as direct result of the grip. 1t was
from Mr.. Fuller and Mr. Counce that we
learned the facts, and this led the Opin-
ion reporter to call upon Mrs. Fuller at
her home at South Warren.
She is lady of refinement and cul-
ture. and is we'll known and highly es-
teemed in the community. She is now
the picture of health, erect, active, with
fair and healthy complexion, and,
though 70 years of age, does not look to
be co. She related the following story:

ways enjoyed exceptionally good health

ever, regain my former strength and

became unconscious, and remained so
for some five hours, and this was fol-
lowed by days of prostration, with great
distress at the stomach and severe head
aches. Recovery was slow, and my health
was at all times very poor. Other attacks
of similar nature followed-ln
all eight, down to last fall. In the inter
walls I suffered constantly and severely.
There were we'll marked symptoms of
paralysis. I constantly suffered from
trembling of the limbs and hands that
incapacitated me from writing, doing
needle work, and in fact almost every
employment; was unable to go up or
down stairs without assistance. / was
attended by the best physicians in
Rockland and Thomaston, who did ev-
erything in their power, and gave me no
noticeable relief. The peculiar attacks
of fainting OF coma, which were a puZ-
zling and unusual feature of my disease,
continued, and my general health grew
steadily worse.

The same facts have been stated by
MI. Fuller and Mr.. and Mrs. Counce,
who are personally cognizant of them,
and the Opinion can state that nothing
has been overstated or in the least exag

The PRESS would esteem it a favor if
the people who are using Vitalized Nerve
and Blood Tonic with beneficial results
would write us in regard to it.
