. CARD FROM MRS. JOE PERSON.

I was in Lumberton, N. c., on Oc-
tober sth, 1907. Several of the ladies
had a great deal to tell me in regard
to the wonderful cure of Mrs. e. F.
Keily's child. They saw her at .
time when she was considered at
deaths door, and the doctors had
said that amputation of the child's
leg was the only hope of saving the
child's life, that the cure that my
Remedy had effected Of her case was
nothing short of a miracle. I went
to Mrs. Kelly's and saw the mother,
but the little girl was at school.
The letter from Mrs. Kelly given
below explains the child's condition.
L was in Lumberton again on the
9Th of April, 1908, and again went
to see Mrs. Kelly. The little giyl
was at home and when she was told
who L was, she jumped into my
arms with a delighted cry of wei
come. az wouldn't take a thousand
dollars for seeing you, Mrs. Joe Per-
son, for you saved my life." She is
as healthy a specimen of a child as
can be found in the State and q child
OF winning grace and beauty. She
is not even left with a limp. Mrs.
Kelly told me hat the frequent
"operations'' that were made on the
child consisted of splitting the child's
leg to the bone, scraping the bone
and cutting away the diseased flesh.
The scars that were left from these
operations we've fearful; the one on
the outside Of her ley entends to the
bone for the length of seven inches,
the one on the inside for four inches.
Healthy, natural skin now covers
the bone and her leg isperfectly we'll
and her general health perfect. Mrs.
Kelly showed me a drainage tube
which she had. to insert by the doc
tors direction every day, passing it
through the decayed bono of her leg.

through either. opening it would pass
through the opposite opening, and

MRS. JOE PERSON.
Lumberton, N C.,Our little daugh-
ter had:a case of typhoid fever when
she was three years old. 1t settled
in her. Ri hit leg, the leg swelling up
just above her knee and bursting and
pieces OF bone came out. We had
three or four doctors attend her, but
they could. do her no good at all.
They said. there would have to be an
operation. and we took her to OAR
lington, S.. c., and had an operation
performed. We waited about four
months and took her to Charleston
Hospital for another operation and
kept her there three months. DR..
Simmons, the head surgeon there,
said the leg would have to be am
putated, but I would not consentto it.
I Brought her back to Darlington
and had another operation performed
there. I waited four or five months
and took her to the Memorial Hospis
tai in Richmond, Va, and had an
operation performed. She stayed
there one month and five days and
came back apparently well. In
eis bit months after her return her
leg swslled land burst again in tho
same place. Pieces of bone were
discharged. We called in the doctor
of this place. She had a hemorrhage
form the lungs. The doctor said her
log would have to come off. I went
to the drug store, got six bottles OF
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy and COM
menced giving it to her according to
!. directions. In two weeks time she
could get out of bed. By the time
she had taken the six bottles the
leg was healded up. Up to this time
she has taken twenty eight bottles.

is eradicated from her system. Be
