Jacob J. Reitmeier, says the Lay
fayette (Ind. Daily Call, of Jan. 18TH
| the well-known oompositor in the Call
news-room, son of one Of our Oldest and
best known German citizens, has
daughter just three years old last Satur-
day, who almost from her birth, has
been afflicted with spinal meningitis, and
has just experienced a recovery which is
| little short of miraculous.
"Mr. ard Mrs. Reitmeier were three
years ago made the proud parents of twin
sisters, one of whom died on the 9th OF
June two years ago, with spinal menln-
gifts. The latter part of the same month
her surviving twin sister was attacked
with the disease in most aggravated
form. The family had the constant SER
vices throughout the whole summer of
some of our best physicians, three Of
whom in turn examined and attended
the cases. The child was unable to walk,
almost unable to move, and entirely help
less.
ssThe physicians, one and all, agreed
that the case was hopeless that nothing
could be done for this child. Their opin
ion was that she would never be cured,
and probably would soon die. From
everything done for her she experienced
no benefit, and the physicians, candidly
stating that they could do nothing for
the cure of the child, were dismissed, and
beyond mild domestic treatment, rubbing
with alcohol, etc., to alleviate immediate
symptoms, nothing was done for her, and
the sad hearted parents only waited Tho
summons which they felt must soon come
for her final release from her Affections.
"Thus matters went on for about u
year, the little one changing, if at all,
only for the worse, and steadily but surely
going down. One year this month, MI.
Reitemeier informs us, attracted by the
advertisement of DR.. Greene,s sNervuTa
blood and nerve remedy, in the Call, he
and his wife finally concluded to try it,
though with but very slender hopes OF
deriving any benefit There was dscid-
ed improvement in the child's condition
with the use of the first bottle, which
continued during the second, and before
the third bottle was all used the child
was able to walk upright, and appare oily
cured. Thereupon the use OF the medl-
| cine was discontinued, and has not bsen
resumed.
sin the year which has since elapsed the
child has grown to be as fat and healthy
and active little one as any parent
need wish to see and Mr. and Mrs.
Reitemeier say they feel beyond Doubt
that the use of DR.. Greene's Nervura
| blood and nerve remedy saved her life
| The case is certainly very remarkable
one and the well-known and reliable
character of the parties gives 1t especial
| importance and significance
| This is indeed a most wonderful cure,
and a great triumph for DR.. Greene's
Nervura, and occurring as it did in the
Daily Calls official family, the fact will
have the greatest weight in influencing
all who are sick or ailing to use this
truly marvellous restorer of health. This
grand remedy should not be classed with
ordinary patent medicines, as it is the
discovery Of a successful physician who
has the largest practice in the world
among nervous and chronic diseases, DR..
Greene, of "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass.
He can be consulted without charge in
regard to any case, personally or by let
ter, by all who use the medicine.
