She is Fearfully Bumed- Inhales the ñames and is Seriously Snjured, hut Proper , Medical Treatment Saved Her Life. From the Oironicle, Chicago, lll. Perhaps in no case as yet reconled lias the efficiency of a popular remedy been found ■o cleai-ly as in that of Mrs. Nora E. HOI. Whilc her conditiou, caused by a rrightl'ul and distressing accident, places hor beyond the pale of perfect recovery, site has rcccivcd such marked reliei that the story of the accident and the sufferings resulting from it, will be of more than ordinary interest to thousands of invalida. Mrs. Nora E. HUI, before September 1893, was a líale, hearty and strong woman, ]ast the middle age of life. Bhe tells the following story : "September 1, 1893, while attending to my dutics about the bonse, a gasoline stove which I had used for some time, suddenly exploded, throwing the burning fluid over me. Before my clothes which were on Cre could be torn off, my right arm and hand were fearfully burned. This however, was not my most serious injiiry, as I had inhaled some of the flames, and I round the inside of my moutli blistered. My hand and arm lo the elbow were burned to the bone, and niy physician believed amputation necessary, Dut after weeks of great suft'ering, I was spared the operation, and I have fairly good use of my hand and arm now. "Shortly after the proeess of healing of arm and hand, my stomach commeneed to irive me trouble. I did not then realizewhat it meant. After each meal I was seized with a cramping sensation, and then in a few days there were frightful pains, which threw me into elammy perspiration. For eight montlis I was under the care of my physieian, battling hard with death. I liad lost 93 pounds, was becoming a mere skeleton, my appetite was gone, and my nervous gystem completely shattered. " I lost confidence in evcrything, was totally diseouraged, and determined to go to my former home, Grand llapids, Michigan, and have my old physician niake nn exumination of my condition. He !il so and foand that gastric ulcers of the stomach had forined. which he said were incurable, and were liable to produce cáncer at any time. While in Grand Rapids the ulcers which had formed in the stomaeh broke, which produced vomiting of lurge quantities of blood and pns. This coníined me to a sick bed for several weeks. When I became suffieiently strong to get up I carne back here to die, as the doctor told me I miglit last one week, possibly one month. But I determined to make as strong a fight as I oould, and get all the medical aid there was in Chicago. "I was taken before a class of one oí" llie raost noted and eelebrated medical coileges here fr exatnination. This ëxaminatfon proved what my physician in Grand Rápido told me viz, that there were gastric ulcers ot the stomach. The opinión of the college physicians was that my chances oí' a cure were not onfr in one thousand. This was in May 189t: in June I was taken down with astric fever, eaused by fresh nlcfrs forming, and I lay in bed nine weeks. From Juneto September in that year I also snffered additionally from thirty abscesBCS forming on jny arms and shoulders, produced by tlie con1 dition of the stomach nnd blood circulation. After this I got a little Vetter, and this.improvement lasted dnring the fall and winter till January 1895, when I liad another siege of gastric fever. I took a grent many drugs nd opiates under the physiciuua direetions during all this timo, which had the rfieet of completely upsetting my stomach und nervous system. "From January to Ju!y 189,r, I suft'ered frightful agonies, resulting from the trouble in my stomach, and was again thrown into gastnc ie ver, which kept me in bed three weeks. "A year aqo last October I commenced to take Dr. Williams' l'ink Pilis lor Pale People. After I had taken two boxes they broke the gastric fever and enabled me to get up. I f'ound also that they gave me strength, and my appetite cam'e back. I fmuid that I could digest the food I ate, and the pains disappeared. I also notieed that I became less nervous; in faet my general condition improyed very much. "The following Maich (in 1896) I was again troubled with the abscesses, trut to a much less degreo than formerly. This was due to the efficiency of the pills, which nndoubtedly had brought my blood to a mnch better eondition. I want to explain here that the doctors said that the cause of the appearance of' abscesses was due to the ulcerated co7idition of the stonjaeh, which vitiated the blood throngh my entire system. " 'J'he pills have allayed my nrrvousness, they are putting my blood into better condition, they have cleared my brain, and have glven me an appetite which I can gratif'y by eating light food without causing the terrible pain which formerly almost drove me insane. The pills are doing for me more than any medical aid I have ever received, and they have stoppi'd my sufieriug to a very great e.xtent. 1 do not think nor do I expect tliat they will euro me, because all pliysieians are agreed wl)o have examined me that it is inipossible. Past experience however has shown me that they will to a great extent make my life bearable. This I believe is doing wonden, and I feel that if they have done this much for me, there must be many people who are sufiering whom they can surely cure. " I was born and raised in Michigan, and cnmc to Chicago some ten years ago. I know quite a numbor of people on the west side, and have told them of the marvelous relief 1 have gained by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Pcople ; and if any one should like to hear more of the details of my Bufferirg and more of the details of tlie relief' gained by the Pink Pilis, I shall be glad to have them cali at my home, 46 Walnut Street, Chicago.
