REVEAL MARVELLOUS CURES
A Consumptive on His Dying Bed, With
Large Bed Sores, Restored to
His Loved Ones.

THE TIMES reporter desires to say before
narrating the remarkable recovery OF Robert
Kellar, OF Cearfoss, Nd that DR.. Shade, No.
1892 Fourteenth street. is a citizen OF the
District and has been located here over three
years. during which time many citizens have
been cured of complicated lung and throat
trouble. A large number have been inter-
viewed and reported through the columns of
The TIMES during the last two months. But
of all the remarkable cures resulting from the
mineral treatment for consumption the case
ofthe young man already referred to is beyond
all question the most remarkable, for the reason
that he was raised from what could be con-
sidered nothing less than a death bed.
This case was one OF the first to yield to
the new treatment for tuberculosis about
four years ago. His brothers and sisters
died of consumption and other relatives.
Robert was confined to his home for months
before he took TO his bed. For seven weeks he
was confined to his bed awaiting death. He
was unable-toward the last to move his
eNtremities on account OF their swollen, cold.
and lifeless condition. During the seven
weeks OF the long and weary days and
nights loved ones ministered to his wants,
waiting and expecting him to die at any
hour; for he could not speak any more-but
merely whisper his wishes-and unable to
get rid of the copious expectoration that he
coughed up, requiring the constant attention
OF the nurse to keep him from strangling.
In this condition DR.. Shade found him, lying
on his back, which produced number OF
| large, open bed sores. Dr. Shade continued
/ the narration of this. the most remarkable
case ever reported, by saying: Il was requested
TO look at him, merely 10 satisfy his friends
| that his case was a hopeless one. and thereby
! eorroborate the prognosis of his physicians
| who gave his up as hopeless con-

much less raised up again, unless some mi
/ raculous change should ult from my pre-
scribing. which | was requested to do, in the
hope OF affording temporary relief and to make
| him comfortable if nothing more. His mouth
! and throat had become very sore-presumably
! from the morphia, quinine and whisky he
had been taking freely--and he was unable 10
swallow without the most eNeruciRting pain.
/ However, after prescribing for HIM for few
days and stopping all the strong and poison
! Gus medicines and ordering an air cushion
under him he began improving to the great
astonishment OF all, especially those who had
been waiting for his death for so long. His
/ appetite came back TO him again. and his life

! swollen for many weeks. began 10 show signs
OF returning vitality. To cOndense the par

easy chair to rest his weary and emaciated
| frame. His bed sores yielded 10 treatment
/ and his swollen eXtremities assumed their
normal condition. BY and by his cough and
! eXpectoration lessened and also yielded TO

with the chores, seeding cherries, etc.-his
mother told me"
Such remarkable results as this case evil

spared TO his loved ones "a little longer here

1t viii be remembered how Melchor Leidy
was cured of consumption by DR.. Shade,
whose ease has already been reported in the
columns of The TIMES.
Mr.. Leidy called in to see Robert Kellar on
his way home from DR.. Shades sanitarium
and told him what had been done for him,
which resulted in Mr. Kelar sending at once
for DR.. Shade Thus the glad news goes from
one 10 another. who are waiting for the glad
tidings. that there is still hope for the con-
sumptive even in the last stages and clutches
! of the dread monster. J. W. B,
