IL ne was saffefing from the effects o
. very severe cold. MIR. Barney told ms
that the doctors had told him he wal
affiliated with dropsy, heart disease and
Brignt's disease OF the kidneys. and that
they had been treating him for these dis
orders.
My husband 'askad permission to have
him removed to our house, which was
granted. At that time he had been in
the County Hospital one week. He was
brought TO our house in an ambulance,
which was backed up to the gate, and the
driver permitted Mr.. Barney to walk
through the yard without assistance, and
he walked into the house over the cold
and damp ground.in his stocking feet.
He was at this time so weak that he was
scarcely able TO stand alone. His feet
and limbs were so badly.swolen that he
was unable to wear shoes and was scarce
ly able 10 stand.
The cold contracted developed into a
condition which was doubtless pneumo-
mia. This was indicated. by severe pains
in the chest and by coughing and raising
OF blood. In one day the blood which
was raised covered ian ordinary hand
towel.
At Mr.. Barney's request called at the
Office of the Fowery. Kingdom Herb. Com
pany. No. II Barnard Park. and asked 10
see DR.. Foo to give him treatment. DR..
Foo refused as he had not seen the pa
'tient and is not allowed to make calls
and to practice medicine.
Later in the day Mr.. b. 9. Plat called
at my house and had a conversation
with Mr.. Barney. Afterwards, at Mr..
Barney's request, l again called at the
office OF the Flowery Kingdom Herb
Remedy Company and procured some
packages OF heros. There were three
packages. There were printed directions
on each package for the preparation and
use of the contents. prepared the med
icines and Mr.. Barney took them accord
ing to directions We used about q dozen
packages in all. We did everything that
was possible for mr. Barney and gave
him every attention in our power.
Mr.. Barney was fully satisfied with the
effect OF the herbal remedies and desired
to continue with them. But at times he
was in very severe pain and we per-
suaded him to consult an American ply
scisn. DR.. Fox came and saw him and
y
at the time OF his first visit that his case
was incurable and that all that he could
do would be to relieve his pain. Mr..
Barney took only few doses of the med
icine prescribed by DR.. Fox and refused
to take any more. He insisted on con-
tinuing with the herbal remedies and DR..
Fox discontinue dhis visits after the sec
ond one.
Later friends of Mr.. Barney called DR..
R. 4. Clark, who prescribed for him.
The following day Mr.. Barney died, after
being in our house just two weeks.
Mr.. Barney received everyth ng that
he asked for or needed in the way OF food
or drink except cold wafer. which was
refused him for the reason that it was
thought inad dvisabls for him to take cold
drinks while using the herbs. He was
given all that he desired of warm drinks.
A few hours before his death ws applied
poulticss to relieve his sufferings. These
were made of herbs and there was MOTH
ing whatever disagreeable or unpleasant
In their pre- eparation or use.
We were slightly acquainted with Mr..
Barney before his illness, as we had met
him at the hall where our church society
wcrships and ne had also been at our
house. We took him from the hospital as
a matter OF Christian friendliness for a
mem ber of our society and without any
expectation of receiving any pay for our
services. We consider that he received
the kindest and best treatment possible
for him while at our house and that
nothing further could have been done
for him in respect to medical care, nurs-
ing or anything that could have added to
his comfort or prolonged his life.
