BEAN MIRACLE.  Woman Saved From Death.  Friends were Summoned to Her Bedside. Now She can Visit Her Friends.  Ulcerated Stomach, Debility, and Anwmia  Cured.  One of the most astonishing cures of modern times has recently been effected by Charles Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousness. The subject is Mrs. Sarah Anti Smith, of 52, Chesterton Road, Sparkbrook, Birmingham. This is the story of her suffering and her cure as told to a "Birmingham Telegram "reporter : "My illness, "said she, "came about gradually. In the first place I began to lose flesh so rapidly that I really thought I was in a galloping consumption. I could not eat, and for the life of me I could not tell what was hanging over me. The first doctor I consulted said it was nervous debility, and that I had become thoroughly run down. His treatment, however, did not seem to bring me any relief, so I consulted another medical man. His opinion was that it was chronic indigestion. As you will bear later on, it proved to be something worse than that, but I little knew it at the time. From the second doctor I obtained very little benefit, and I decided to go to the Hospital at Birmingham as an out-patient. "Specialists examined me and treated me, but still I got we. I then went to the General ElospitPl, and was an out-patient at the hospital for six months-making in all twelve months' hospital treatment. This time the doctors said it was heart disease that I suffered from. rhe agony I endured was something awful. When I tried to walk I simply staggered along, and the floor seemed as though it were slipping under me. I became so depressed that at times I used to earnestly pray to be kept from giving way to committing suicide. _ _ _  " All the time I was taking bottle after bottle of medicine from the hospital, but with very little good result. I was at last compelled to take to my bed. Another doctor was called in, and he ordered a nurse for me, as he said it wax not safe to leavl me alone. I was told T was so armmic that practically all my blood was turning into water, and this I was prepared to believe, becattse I got so thin that my bones protruded. "Before my illness I weighed 13 stone, but I fell away till I only weighed 7 stone. "Thinking it might do me good, my husband had me moved to the country. To effect my removal I had to be carried to the station, for I had become so weak that I could not stand up. I lived on sterilised milk, and at last, even this would not stay on my stomach. The change of air seemed to do me no good, so I was brought home again, and still another doctor was summoned, and a nurse again requisitioned. From this doctor we learned the real facts of my case. _  He asked my husband to go to his surgery, and there told him that my case was hopeless. He said my stomach had been almost completely eaten away by ulcers, and consequently nothing ou earth could save me. My relatives, including my mother, who is now well on in years, were summoned to my bedside one day, as it was thought I was dying, and a minister attended and administered the Holy Communion. I was truly at that time face to face with death. "Then a brother of mine who was present said to my husband;' William, you have tried almost everything for her, but why not try those Bile Beans 'which there is so much talk about. I have just been reading a case of a woman at Walsall who was cured be them.'  "My husband pondered for a while, and the result was that I commenced a course of Bile Beans. "After I had taken the first box I was able to take a little bread and butter and a cup of cocoa. This was certainly a sign of improvement, because just before this if I took even a little drop of milk it would cause such violent pain that I had to be held down in bed. As I continued with the Bile Beans I felt a gradual improvement, and after it little while'l was able to leave my bed and sit up for a few hours every day. "Then I got strong enough to walk downstairs. Ni Of course, was only obtained by persevering with Bile Beans. From the time I began with Bile Beans no other medicine passed my lips, and to the amazement of everybody who knows me, they not only saved me from the grave, but have now restored me to health. I never felt better in my life than I do now. 3ly appetite is good, and no matter what kind of food I eat I feel no ill effects."  The above sensational case proves conclusively that Chas. Forde's Bile Beans can cure the worst cases of stomach and intestinal disorder. They are equally effective for debility, biliousness, constipation, piles, nervousness, anvemia, female ailments, weakness, colds, chills, neuralgia, rheumatism, pains in the back, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, congestion of the liver, headache, flatulence, pimples, and skin eruptions.
