The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1897-04-23

Perhaps in no case as yet recorded has the
efficiency of a popular remedy been found
% clearly as in that of Mrs. Nora f. Hill.
While her condition, caused by a frightful
and distressing accident, places her beyond
the pale of perfect recovery, she has received
such marked relief that the story of the &C.
cident and the sufferings resulting from lit,
will be Of more than ordinary interest to
thousands of invalids.
Mrs. Nora E. Hill, before September 1898,
was a hale, hearty and strong woman, past
the middle age of life.
She tells the following story:
September /, 1898, while attending to
my duties about the house, a gasoline stove
which l had used for some time, suddenly
exploded, throwing the burning fluid over
me. Before my clothes which were on fire
could be torn of, 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 10
the elbow were burned to the bone, and my
physician believed amputation necessary,
but after weeks of great suffering. | was
spared the operation, and | have fairly good
use of my hand and arm now.
"Shortly after the process Of healing OF
arm and hand, my stomach commenced to
| give me trouble. | did not then realize what
it meant. After each meal / was seized
with a cramping sensation. and then in a
few days there were frightful pains, which
threw me into clammy perspiration. For
eight months I was under the care Of my
physician, battling hard with death. l had
lost SO 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 60 tc
my former home, Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and have my old physician make an eXami'
nation of my condition. He did SO and
found that gastric ulcers of the stomach hac
formed. which he said were incurable, and
While in Grand Rapids the ulcers which
had formed in the stomach broke, which
produced vomiting Of large quantities o
blood and pus. This confined me to a sicE
bed for several weeks. When / becam,
sufficiently strong to get mp | came bach
here to die, as the doctor told me | nigh
last one week, possibly one month. But
determined to make as strong a fight rs
could. and get all tho medical aid there wa
in Chicago.
~ was taken bnf,rn n class Of one Of tn,
most noted and celebrated medical college
here for examination. This examination
proved what nv phvSiriHn in Grand Rapid

physicians was that my chances Of o cur
were not one in one tholsaal. This was i,
