Card From Mrs. Person.
Can 1t Be That Most OF
the Ills of Life Can Be
Cured Through the
Blood !?

I have confined the recommendation OF
my Remedy to troubles that had their
origin IN impure blood, or a rundown
system, and yet / know it can do more.
Five years ago my Remedy cured Mrs
J. S. Thompson, of Hasty, n. c., OF ladies'
trouble, and since then she has used 1T az
a family medicine, and now 1 have hel
testimonial where it carried two Of her
children safely through an attack of ty-
phoid fever.
My Remedy cured case of kidney
trouble in my own family, OF six months
standing, after all medical treatment had
failed, and the party was regarded as a
doomed man. Finding that he was rapid
" declining, we tried the Remedy, and in
two weeks a great change was apparent,
and in two months he was well, and the
cure was permanent.
| have known it tried in a well-known
family in this State, (whose name l am
at liberty to give, for puerperal fever,
when four doctors in consultation said the
patient could not live many hours, and it
cured her. The reaction was immediate.
I saw Mr.. Fred Howell, of Goldsboro,
N. c., when he was down with consump-
ton. saw him again recently, well
man, after using the Remedy two years.
/ have seen two ladies, suffering with
cancer of the womb. (and know of a
third and l have seen them perfectly
cured, after having used my Remedy and
Wash for about a year.
/ have known it to cure great many
cases of stomach trouble, that had failed
to yield to any other treatment.
l have known it to cure four cases OF
nurses sore mouth. after all medical
treatment had failed.
l have known the wash to cure a case
of bladder trouble, when the physician
said an operation alone could reach it.
In the beginning of my business career,
twenty-one years ago, realizing what a
powerful agency for relief to the afflicted
was in my hands, / went to the medical
fraternity Of Raleigh, and invited them to
investigate my claim that 1 had a specific
for troubles that came from blood i'm
purity. l invited examination, to the end
that it might be generally used by the
profession, if / could substantiate my
claim. 1 offered to accept any number of
test cases that would satisfy them in re-
gard to the merit of my Remedy and
would cure them free. only asked them
to agree to watch the result of my Rene
dy and if cured every one. for them to
agree to acknowledge it publicly. But
this they said would be "unprofessional
and an irregular proceeding, and they,
therefore Cd declined, although / offered
to give them officially my full formula.
This goes to prove the unbounded con-
fidence I had in my Remedy in the be-
ginning of my work, and it is now estab-
lished on a pedestal none can shake.

ALaER INVITES INVESTIGATION.
His Answer to Charge in Harper's Weekly Of
Fraud in Army Contracts.
(By the Associated Press. J


Detroit, Mich, July 15.-United States
Senator R. A. Alger gave out the follow
ing interview tonight in regard to an
editorial published in the current issue of
Earper's Weekly, charging practically that
during the time he was Secretary of War,
the government was defrauded out OF
millions of dollars on army contracts:
IF there was any corruption in the
War Department during the time when
was secretary or if there was any reason
for thinking there might be such corrup-
ton, know nothing of it, and / do not
believes there was any such corruption.
THE assertion made here is very
broad one and the men who make these
charges and the paper which publishes
them will be held to the strictest accoun-
liability. hope that the matter will be
investigated to the very bottom, in order
that the facts way be fully demonstrated.
However, l believe that the men who
purchased the supplies during my admin
istration were as honest, conscientious and
efficient as any set of officials who ever
served in the War Department
