A CARD FROM MRS. JOE PERSON.
Charlotte, N. c., April %, 1908.
I was in Lumberton, N. c., on o.
tober sth, 1907. Several of the ladies'
had a great deal to tell me in regard
to the wonderful cure of Mrs. E, F..
Kelly's child. They saw her at q
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
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..
1 was in Lumberton again on the
9th of April, 1908, and again went
to see Mrs. Kelly. The little giBl
was at home and when she was told
who I was, she jumped into my
arms with a deli hted cry of well
come. ~ wouldn't take q thousand
dollars for >eeing you, Mrs. Joe Per-
son, for sou saved my life." She is
as healthy a specimen of a child as
can be found in the State and a child
of winning grace and beauty. She
is not even left with a limp. Mrs.
Kelly told me that the frequent
'toperations'' 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 that we're left from these
operations were fearful; the n ON
the outside of her leg 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 well
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 bone of her leg.
When she would syringe a wash
through either opening it would pass
through the opposite opening, and
Mrs. Kelly said the leg was virtual
ly honey-combed with this decayed
flesh. It wouldpay any one scientif-
cally interested in a subject of this
Importance to 60 to Lumberton and
see what my Remedy has done for
Mrs. Kelly's little girl. lam,
Very truly,
MRS. JOE PERSON.
Lumberton, N. G. ,Our little daugh-
ter had a case of typhoid fever when
she was three years old. It settled
in her ri ht leg, the leg swelling up
Just above her knee and bursting and
pieces OF bone came out. We had
three or four doctors att. nd her, but
thew could do her no good at all.
They said there would have to be an
operation and we tnOS 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.
lputated, but I would not cOnsentto it.
[ brought her back to Darlington
and had another operation performed
there. I waited foul or five months
and took her to the Memorial Hospi-
tai in Richmond, Va, and had an
operation performed. She stayed
there one month and five days and
came back apparently welt. In
eli hit months after her return her
leg swelled and burst again in the
same place. Pieces of bone were
discharged. We called in the doctor
of this place. She had a hemOrrhage

leg would have to come off. I went
to the drug store, got six bottles OF

directions. In two weeks time she
could get out of bed. BY the time
she had taken the six bottles the
leg was headed up. Up to this time
