A CARD FROM MRS. JOE PERSON

Charlotte, N. c., April %, 1908.
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.
Kelly'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 q 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 ex, ,lains the child's condition.
I was in Lumberton again on the
9Th of April, 1908, and again went
to see Mrs. Kelly. The little gi1l
was at home and when she was told
who I was, she jumped into my
arms with a delighted cry of well
come 81 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 a child
of winning grace and beauty. She
is not even left with a limp. Mrs.
Kelly told me that 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 were fearful; the ons O
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 we'll
ard her general health perfect. Mrs.
Kelly showed me a drainage tube
which she had to insert by the doc
tors direction every day, passi g 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. $ ely said the leg was virtual
~ honey-comabed with tbs decayed
flesh. It wouldpay any n scientif-
cally interested in a subject of his
importance to go to Lumberton and
see what ny Kennedy has done for
NErs,d<eiIy's little girl. lam,
Very truly
