MISS SHORR'S MEMORABLE RIDE The Doctor Said it Was f Imply Suicide, but It Led to the Discovery ol a Remedy That Cured This Young Lady of Consumption. Toledo (O.) Blade, Oct. St. We are about to publish the most re markable experience which has ever been known in the hbstory ot the world. It occurred in Sidney, U.. und has all the absorbing realism of a romance and all the force of unquestionable truth. Kol lowing is the statement, which can l read with the greatest Interest: "1 am a young lady, and like most young ladles shrink from appearing In public or seedng my name In print, but J have passed through an experience ho remarkable that 1 lee I compelled to make It public. 1 know there are many young ladles, elderly ladles und men, too. tor mat matter, who are in the very greatest danger, und yet do not know It. To nil nuct my experience will prove Invaluable. "A little over two years ago I took a severe cold. and. as ho many others do. carelessly neglected It. It was very, very annoying, und i kept thinking every day it would pass away, but In stead of doing ho It grew worse. 1 coughed coii.tlerably, but it wan not the cough alone thut annoyed me. 1 wns frequently feverish. My Hps were purohed, my breath hot. My appetite was poor, and I lost In flesh dally. Sometimes my cheeks' would be very red. and ugain 1 would be as pale as dentil. I tried to Hleep regularly, but could not, and when 1 did sleep 1 was troubled with horrible dreama. In this way several month passed by until I hi-i'unie so weak thut I was compelled to take to my bed. ,-l cannot and do not believe the greatest writer In the world could de scribe what 1 miffered. For IS months I was unable to help myself in the least, und my mother, nisler und brother were completely worn out taking care of me. I had no les than seven differ ent physicians, who came to gee tne separutely. and were, also often In con sultation together. One and all pro nounced me Incurable, and said I must dle. iJcyond the possibility of a doubt I had consumption In Its last stages. Of course, in addition to all the medi cines of the doctors. I took cough sirups and cod liver oils, which I hoped would cure tne ut least bring me relief. Hut, alas, none of them even eased my suf fering. "One day ah! how well I remember it my mother and sister came into my room with tears rolling down their cheeks. Between their sobs they told me I had but a short time to live; that the best physicians had said so, and that they had done all in their power. 1 knew this, and was willing to die, but the thought came to iie that I would like to see our town once more, nnd perhaps look Into the faces of some friends. My mother and sister looked amazed, and the physicians even more so. 'It Is simply suicide.' they said, and 'you certainly will never return to the house alive.' But, with the weak ness and willfulness nf a dying person, 1 insisted, and as the dny was pleas ant, they finally yielded, and a carriage was secured. In which was fitted up a bed of pillows. I was carried out.' placed in the carriage, and slowly driven about the Court House square. People looked on in wonder, and I was relatives all stood about my bed expect -taken home more dead than alive. My in to see me die at any moment, while my friends who had seen me driven out came to call at the house. One of the friends who called hud In her hand a trial bottle of medicine, which had been given her. It claimed to be a cure for consumption, and she urged my mother to nrlve me some of it. "When so many able physicians hRve declared that consumption cannot be cured, and when In Its first stages it is so difficult to check, how could any medicine help me, on the verge of the grave? But a drowning person will grasp at a straw, and so my mother gave me some of the remedy and con tinued at short Intervals to administer It. Somehow after taking two doses I felt better, and no another bottle was procured without delay. Very soon a decided Improvement was noticed In iny condition. I continued taking this remedy, which was not only doing me so much good, but was so pleasant to the taste, and I solemnly ufflrm that I owe my complete recovery and rescue from the grave to Dr. Acker's English Kennedy For Consumption, which was the only thing that could or did save me. Today I am as well as I ever was In my life, strong nnd In perfect health. Indeed my friends consider my recovery nothing sort of a miracle. "This, in brief, is the story of my suf fering and salvation, and I wish that every man, woman and child in Ameri ca might know It. for I see so many who are walking In the same danger ous road that I was, neglecting what they think are slight colds, but which are certain to result in consumption, and perhaps death, unless taken In time. "BEKTHA SHORR." SOUTH SIDE NEWS. Foundling Left in the Hallway of a Palm Street Residence Yesterday Morning, Victorious !emocrots Serenaded. As Mrs. Winifred Reap, of Pnlm street, was busy about her house woik early vcx terday morning she heard the fulnt cries or an Infant, and when che InvesllKuted It led tier to discover a foundling wrapped up In warm clothing, dvuoslted Inside ihe fmnt door In the hallway.
