A VERY PECULIAR CASE. ‘Stowiug Truth is Struger thu Fiction.’ A Lady Vln vu Confined to Her Bed for veuiMonltos—An Interest* ing Interview and One Containing a Moral, Mrs. W. T. Giren^ residing at No. 600 E. Walnut Street, was found at her home last night in her easy chair comfortably enjoyiug a. cosy fire and the luxuries of a pleasant and comfortable home. Iu the course of a conversation she spoke as follows: “For seven long, dark months I have been confined to that bed there in the corner, and it seemed to me that all the happiness of living w.-a forever over-shadowod to me by the . suffering and misery of nhit seemed to be an incurable disease. I say an incurable disease because many ofonr best physicians here iu the eity had failed to core me, and one by one they had to admit that they {had reached the limit of their power; and then I would try again,with the same result. Ah, but those were dark, gloomy days for me.' You can’t imagine the agony of one who is confined to bed for month*, unable to sit up and absolutely dependent upon others for any services whatever, and conple with that the fact that your disease was beyond the skill of your physicians, they not kuowing what it was, and yon begiu to appreciate my conditon . I couldn’t sit up, I was weak, and there was a condition which I have not words to describe—a wlerd, terrible, fearful feeling that is beyond the* power of language to express. Such was my condition a month ago. 1 had then quit ail doctors aud had given up any hope of ever being woll again. One day a circular of.the new Indian Herb Doctor, Dr. Man-O-Taw, was left at our house. Again a faint ■park of hope sprung up and I, at the urgent request ot my family, sent for the Doctor to come and see me. He line, and after the most * through examination I had ever had, said to me;‘Madam, I can cure you. lean, within one month, with God’s help, have you sitting up and dressed.’ Well, this was charmiug news to utc*. and yet, do you know, I didn't believe it; but ‘where ihero’a life there’s hopes,’ and I begin his treatment. 1 smile now as 1 think of how ludicrous it seemed to me when he sent me a little sack of some kind of roots aud herbs. If they could cure me’ surely I had been brought up wtth a peculiar idea about medicine. Well, we bailed them up as he said and I begun, and tor a day or two felt hotter; and then I was agaiu in the depth of despair, for I was worse than over. The Ifooter came every day and insisted that I would get well, and—Oh, yes, I forgot t* tell you that he had me rubbed, pinched, slapped and jerkqd around until I thought I would be black and blue all over. So I continued the lea and Site Doctor still stuck to it that I was getting better. To make a long story short, I did begin to improve, and rapidly, too, and now, as you see. I am up. But I didn’t gel up in a month; it was one month and three daya, and I have lota of fun with Ilic I)«ctor about it. I now sit up all the afternoon, and my family are as happy as I. Once more life is bright, and all to the credit of Dr. Man-O-Taw, who first knew what was my disease and then knew how to cure mo."—Davies* County Democrat, Dec. 10th. L_
