efficiency Of popular remedy been found
90 clearly % in that of Mrs. Nora e. Hill.
While her condition, caused by o frightful
and distressing accident, places her beyond
the pale of perfect recovery, she has received
such marked relief that the story Of the &C.

my duties about the house, q gasoline stove
which had used for some time, suddenly
exploded, throwing the burning fluid over
me. Before my clothes which were on fire

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

were liable To produce cancer at any time.
While i'm Grand Rapids the ulcers which

produced vomiting of large quantities of
blood and pus. This confined me to q sick
bed for several weeks. When / became
