A PECULIAR CASE.
Physicians Puzzled by the Expert
enoe of Mrs Bowen.
The Episcopal Hospital Said she Had
Consumption.

(FreN ts Record, philadelphia Pay
Last July the Episcopal hospital admitted
a woman whose pale and emaciated face and
racking cough proclaimed her the vic
tim Of consumption. She gave her name as
Mrs. Salie q. Bowen. wife of VIM. e..
Bowen, residence, 1919 Meighan St, Phila.
delphia The case was diagnosed and she
was told plainly that she was in an ad.
vanced stage Of consumption. The examin-
ing physician even showed her the sunken
place in her breast where the cavity in her
lung was supposed 10 exist She went home
10 her family a broken, disheartened woman
with death staring her in the face. That was
the beginning Of the story, the end was told
by Mrs. Bowen, who no longer expects 10
die, 10 a reporter who visited her home.
The first symptoms of consumption came
in the form Of terrible sweats, both nigh,
and day, From April until September !
was constantly cold and kept wrapped I'D
in blankets through the hottest weather. A
terrible cough took possession Of me, my
breast was sore TO the slightest touch, and
my limbs were like cold clay. The hardest
rubbing with the coarsest towel would not
create the slightest flush, and the leas. ex.
ertion would SO exhaust me that l could
barely gasp for water.
II went to the hospital in July and they
diagnosed my case rs above stated, 1t
was when the clouds were the darkest
that the first CLINT Of sunshine came. Mr..
Shelmegaine a friend, who lives around at
lS4+ Clemontine St, said 10 me one day:
Mrs. Bowen, did Won ever try DR.. Williams

heard Of the medicine, but in my condition
could not turn a deaf ear to anything that
offered relief. 1t was after considerable
thought and investigation tina, I concluded
10 discontinue all the medicine Twas taking,
including cod liver oil. and depend entirely
upon Pink Pills. l began 10 take the Pills,
at first with but little encouragement. The
sign of Improvement was a warmth
and a tugling sensation in my limbs.

To Deputy Sheriff c. q. X eIlogg bailiff
of Department Two of the superior Court,
was given the task OF taking this shining
example of truthfulness to the state
prison. He felt little nervous as San
Francisco was being neared, because he
had not been there for a very long time
and had forgotten the lay of the land,
but his prisoner kindly reassured him
and acted as guide to the prison and as
master Of ceremonies, once it was
reached. with the well bred manners OF

Men in striped clothes grasped Hayes
hand when he arrived and said that they
were glad to see him and asked how long
he was going to stay, and the warders
grinned their welcome at the distin-
gushed visitor. And all this time Mr..
Kellogg had to saw wood. 1t turned out
that Mr.. William Hayes is very tony
