MRS. DAViS'S MIRACLE
Her Simple Remed dy Has Brought
 Good Health 10 MrS. rtCkinIcY.

Mrs. Senator Davis of Minnesota has wrought a miracle. She is curing Mrs. Mckinley. Mrs. Mckinley has been an apparently hopeless invalid, for twen- ty-eight years. She has consulted emil nent physicians all oyer America and two well known specialists in Europe. They could do nothing for her
 She could not walk or even stand alone. The least exertion made her suffer a terrible attack of pain. No one who saw her in the spring of 1897 believed that she would live through six months Of her husbands admlnis- tration. About a year ago Mrs. Cush- man K. Davis of Minnesota went to Mrs. Mckinley and begged to be per- mitted to prescribe for her She had an Indian herb remedy given t0 a mem Der of her family by a Sioux chief She had seen the remedy used upon many people with marvellous success. Mrs. Mckinley had little or no faith in the idea of any new treatment, but her friends grasped at the straw of any kind of hope. Mrs. Mckinley began to take the medicine. It was a tea or de- coction, and she took it three times a day.
 It had no effect at first, but when she had been taking the medicine about six weeks she began to notice wonderful improvement in her health. She slept soundly, (her appetite began to pick up. the death-like pallor Of her skin changed to more normal color and she could sit up for whole hours at time without feeling any extraordinary fatigue.
 The president was amazed and de- lighted
 Mrs. Mckinley continued to improve. She gained in weight week by week, until now, not quite a year since she began taking the herb medicine, she weighs nearly fifty pounds more than she has ever weighed in her life She stands alone without pain and she is beginning to walk without assistance for the first time in twenty years.
 She looks fifteen years younger than she did the day of the inauguration. She has taken up her music, which she had been obliged to neglect entire ly for years. She drives twice day. She is up and dressed for breakfast with the president at 9 o'clock. She has had new conservatory built at the White House, and she helps care for the flowers herself. She is entertain ing five young women at the White House. She has a number of exquisite gowns, and she is beginning to take real pleasure in entertaining her friends
 The rings that slipped up and down on the slender fingers a few months ago fit perfectly now, and the little white hand is filling out marvelously.
 All Washington is delighted at the marked change in Mrs. Mckinley and Mrs. Davis is overwhelmed with con- gratulations. The story of Mrs. Me- Kinley's life has been, until this won derful change, a singulariy pathetic one. Day by day she has been fading fading, fading, like some delicate flow CT, unable to bear the strong light of the sum- Her husband, the president of the United States, has kept her alive by mere force of his strong will and de- votion.
 lime and time again eminent physf- clans have said that there was no hope. Time and time again the frail spark Of life has flickered and all but gone out. For years Mrs. Mckinley has been un- able to walk She has lived life as simple and regular and quiet as the life of delicate child.
 Try as her friends would to keep all knowledge of the stress and storm of
