Mr.. A. s. Berry an old resident of scran-
ton, now residing on East Market street,
has been confirmed invalid for the past
nine years. Before entering into de-
tailed account of his sufferings we desire
to state that those physicians who have
been practcng for the past quarter of n
century or more will remember that In
former days when a physician was in
doubt or the nature OF the patients dis
| ease 1t was customary to call 1t LIVER
COMPLAINT, but in Mr. Berrys case
there was a genuine affection Of the liver.
He formerly resided in Saginaw, Michi-
gan. 1t was ut a time when people suf-
fered from fever and ague all throughout
that section of the country to such an eX-
tent that they would literally shake their
joints loose. Everyone suffered from ma
larla and 1t was at this time Mr.. Berry
contracted malaria which brought On
chronic CONGESTION OF THE LIVER.
AT the time when he consulted DIR. r. B.
Smith and staff some six weeks ago and
| commenced treatment Mr.. Berrys counte-
nance had the appearance of an old parch-
| ment; he had wasted to a mere skeleton;
| his skin was dry and harsh. The muscles
OF MS arms and legs had nearly perished,
while the liver and abdomen was consider
ably distended, he suffered from a con-
| tlnual pain In the right side under the
| short ribs. On making pressure over the
| liver he complained from soreness and
great tenderness and suffered from OBJ
Stinate constipation. When his bowels
| did move the stools were light or clay col
| orcd and his urine was loaded with bile.
TWO or three hours after eating the pain
| In the right side increased in violence until
l1t became almost unbearable. The pain
| extended from the region of the liver to
| the back and radiated to the shoulder
blades. Whenever the stomach became
| empty he would experience gnawing fol-
| lowed by a deathy sinking sensation
| which was only relieved by eating, and cv-
| erything he ate produced such distress
that he was literally starving himself to
| death. When we take into consideration
| that all fats and oils are digeSted in the
| duodenum and by n flow Of pancreatic
| fluid into this organ one can readily see
| that anything that deteriorates these
| fluids or changes their natural course pro-
duces serious results, such as catarrhal in
| flammation of the duodenum with all the
symptoms of dyspepsia, but with this diff
| ference: In dyspepsia the distress comes
on Immediately, while in affection of the
duodenum the distress Is not experienced
| for an hour or more. The first step taken
| by DR.. Smith for Mr.. Berry was to remove
| three large pile tumors. He then admin
| istered two magnetic treatments each
week. The results WERE MAGICAL.
| He has gained eighteen pounds of flesh and
| is now convalescent To see that he is de-
| lighted family expresses his gratitude for
what the doctor has done for him. He
says, proclaim 1t to everyone In the high
ways and by-ways. Consultations free.
