White Oaks eagle. (White Oaks, N.M.) 189?-190?, 1897-03-25

Perhaps In no case as yet recorded has the
efficiency of a popular remedy been found
70 clearly as in that of Mrs. Nora Z. Hill.
While her condition, caused by frightful
and distressing accident, places her beyond
the pale of perfect recovery, she has received
such marked relief that the story of the ac
cident and the sufferings resulting from it,
will be of more than ordinary interest to
thousands Of invalids.
Mrs. Nora E. Hill, before September 1898,
was hale, hearty and strong woman, past
the middle age of life.
She tells the following story:
September l. 1S93 while attending to
my duties about the house, gasoline stove
which had used for some time, suddenly
exploded, throwing the burning fluid over
me. Before my clothes which were on fire
could be torn off, my right arm and hand
were fearfully burned. This however, was
not my most serious injury, as | had inhaled
some of the flames, and found the inside of
my mouth blistered My hand and arm to
the elbow were burned to the bone, aud my
physician believed amputation necessary,
but after weeks of great suffering ! was
use of my hand and arm now.
"Shortly after the process Of healing of
arm and hani, my stomach commenced to
give me trouble. [ did not then realize what
it meant After each meal ! was seized
with cramping sensation, and then in a
few days there were frightful pains, which
threw me into clammy pcrspiration. For
eight months | was under the care of my
physician, battling hard with death. | had
lost % pounds was becoming a mere skele-
ton, my appetite was gone, and my nervous
system completely shattered.
81 lost confidence in everything, was
totally discouraged, and determined to go to
my former home, Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and have my old physician make an eXami-
nation of my condition. lie did so and
found that gastric ulcers of the stomach had
formed which he said were incurable, and
were liable tk roduce cancer at any time.
While in Grand Rapids the ulcers which
hal formed in the stomach broke. which
produced vomiting Of large quantities OF
! blood and pus. This confined me to a sick
bed for several weeks. When | became
sufficiently strong to get up, ! came back
| here 10 die, as the doctor told me | might
last one week. possibly one month But
! determined 10 make as strong a fight as
could and get all the medical aid there wa,
in Chicago.
81 was taken before a class Of one Of the
most noted and celebrated medical colleges
here for examination. This examination
proved what my physician In Grand Rapids
told me viz, that there were gastric ulcers o
the stomach. The opinion of the college
physicians was that my chances Of a cur,
were not one In one thousand. This was in
