From no place in the world come stranger
| stories than from a city hospital. Some
romantic, some horrible, many wonderful
aye, even miraculous.
! Last July the Episcopal hospital admitted
| a woman whose pale and emaciated face and
/ raoking cough proclaimed her the victim of
| that dread disease consumption. She gave
her name as Mrs. Sallie @. Bowen, wife of
VIM. @. Bowen, residence, 1849 Meighan st.
The case was diagnosed and she was told
kindly, but plainly, that she was in adj
vaHced stage of consumption. The examin-
ing physician even showed her the sunken
place in her breast where the cavity in her
lung was supposed to exist. She went home
to her family 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 to die, to reporter who visited her
home.

years." she began, my trouble being in the
throat and chest accompanied by a weak
ness that cause numerous fainting spells. In
July, 1893, / fell from a hammock striking
my hip and injuring my side. From this
time on my trouble rapidly developed until
the last of October, when it became so
serious that 1 was nearly crazy with pain,
Pain so terrible that it battles description.
Our family physician was called in and for
the time being, allayed the pain but the
relief was only temporary. Why was so
and gave medicine every fifteen minutes.
The first symptoms of consumption came in
the form of terrible sweats, both night and
day. From April until September l was
constantly cold and kept wrapped up in
blankets through the hottest weather.
terrible cough took possession of me, my
breast wds sore to the slightest touch, and
nv limbs were like cold clay. The hardest
rubbing with the coarsest towel would not
create the slightest flush, and the least
exertion would so exhaust me that L could
barely gasp for water.

to the hospital, the last haven of hope, in

all they could do for me death seemed to
grow nearer.
