An Astonishing But True Story
"My homo is in Sidney, Ohio. 1 have been nearer death with consumption
than any other living person in the world, and I want you to reatl this, so you
can tell others. I took a severe cold and neglected it, 1 grew worse all the
umc, ami at tne unci ot
two years I had run into
consumption. I coughed
terribly, lost flesh, could
not sleep, and became so
dreadfully weak that 1
had to take to bed. In
the following eighteen
months 1 gradually
reached the last stages
of consumption. Xo less
than seven physicians
treated mo and all gave
me up saying I was in
curable, fwas absolutely
helpless. The whole fam
ily wore themselves out
caring for me. One day
mother and sister came
to my bedside, and said
1 had but a day or two more to live. Tears rolled down their cheeks as they
sobbed the news. The doctors had declared I was in the last stage, and no
human being could save me. I was Villing to die, but before going to the cruel
grave, I wanted to go out and sec my dearly beloved town of Sidney once moic.
They told mc such a thing was impossible that I would surely die before I got
back. But I insisted, and to gratify my dying wish, a carriage was fitted up
with a bed of pillows, and to this I was carried and slowly driven around Court
House Square. I got home more dead than alive. Through the mercy of Provi
dence, someone brought a trial bottle of medicine said to be a consumption cure.
Xo one imagined for an instant it was worth trying. Hut as a drowning person
grasps at a straw, so I tried this medicine. I was better after taking two doses.
Mother got more of the medicine and I took it, improving all the time. Today I
am as well as any reader of this paper, and the medicine that cured me was
Acker's English Remedy for Consumption. I declare before (5od and man that
every word here printed is true."
This remarkable testimonial, on file in the mTice ot Messrs. W. II. Hooker Co., New York,
proprietors of Or. Acker's Celebrated Knglish Ue.neJy, is vouched for by them, as well as by
prominent drucgists of Sidney, Ohio.
