Perhaps In no case as yet recorded has the
efficiency of a popular remedy been found
50 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 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 a hale, hearty and strong woman, past
the middle age of life.
She tells the following story:
September /, 1893, 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 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 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 l 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 | was under the care of my
physician, battling hard with death. l had
lost 90 pounds, was becoming a mere skele-
ton ~ apnafIfn lCoa nnnn anH m ~ nryn,
system completely shattered.
Il lost confidence in everything, was
totally discouraged, and determined to 90 TO
my former home, Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and have my old physician make an exHmi-
nation of my condition. He did so and
found that gastric ulcers of the stomach had
formed. which he said were incurable, and
were liable to produce cancer II: any time.
While in Grand Rapids the ulcers which
had 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 mp ] came back
here to die, as the doctor told me | might
last one week, possibly one month. But |
determined to make rs s'~ong q fi@ht as |
could. and get all the medical aid there was
in Chicago.

New YORK, April 5-Bradstreets

standing an almost complete stoppage

drop is recorded in prices of Bessemer
pig iron and steel billets and in wheat,

part offset by increased activity and
higher prices for wool and for woolens,

STOMACHS L~AUNDERED.
Latest Operation Made successful by the
Aid of " Rays.

Latest Operation Made Successful by the
Aid of X Rays.
CHICAGO. April 3.-With a little ma
chine which looks like All egg-beater,
DR.. Fenton B. Turek has performed
the feat of laundering the inside of a
mans stomech at the Post Graduate
school, and by mean Of the Roentgen
ray he at the same time viewed the in.
ternal apartment where his little de-
vice was at work.
The operation marks an era of prog
ress in the medical world, as the ex-
pertinent was the first of its kind made
in full view of the operator.
One Of the largest and most complete
Roentgen ray outfits ever produced was
furnished to the college for the expert
ment. Attached to the end Of DR..
Turek's instrument, which is called a
gyromele, or revolving sound, was a
flexible cable of spiral steel wire, and
on the end of which was a small
sponge. The cable was inclosed in a
rubber tube, and this, with the sponge,
was swallowed by the patient. The
latter, who vas stripped to the waist,
then stepped before the Roentgen
light, the doctor put the Horoscope to
his eyes and an attendant turned the
handle of the gyromele. The cable re-
volved as fast or as slow as was de.
sired, the sponge at the father end pro-
ceeded to it's work of securing the
inner walls of the patients stomach,
while the doctor, through the 1uoro-
scope viewed the work by locating the
metallic cable, by means OF the X
rays. BY pushing or pulling
ON the cable, the various portions
of the inner walls of the stomach
were operated upon, and the matter
which was gathered in the sponge was
then removed for microscopic e-G.mina.
ton. No nausea or other discomfort
was felt by the patient, though he
stood before the rays for over an hour,
while the doctors in attendance, the
nurses, the operator of the X ray outfit,
and a newspaper man examined his in.
terror. At the close of the ordeal he
was offended that no one of the party
would crafty his curiosity to see the
operation by temporarily taking his
place as patient and swallowing the
sponge and tube, despite his assertions
that it had not hurt him.
The Roentgen ray outfit used in the
operation is capable Of throwing a II
inch spark Of great density and illumin'
ating a very large Crooks tube. By it
means, it was not only possible to SEE
the ribs and back bone of the patient
bur tn view the vibrations Of the hear
and to outline the liver and kidneys.
