A PROVED MIRACLE.

(From the 4 Adelaide Advertiser.’)

Many wonderful cures have been placed to the credit of Bile Beans for Biliousness, and we have now to chronicle the marvellous case of an old lady of eighty summers, who has suffered the most excruciating agony for the past forty years, and has been discharged from a hospital as incurable. Mrs Bridget M’Arney, the lady in •question, resides at Gibson-street, Bowden, Adelaide, where a reporter of the Adelaide 4 Advertiser ’ interviewed her a short time since. Mrs M’Arney is a typical daughter of the -* Emerald Isle.’ She has lived at her present address for nearly nine years, and in the district for seventeen years, and is very widely known. 4 Tell you the story of my illness?’ she said, in response to a. preliminary question. 4 Certainly I will, with pleasure.’ 4 About forty years ago I became very ill. I suffered from severe pains in the head, chest, and stomach, and used to have bad fits of retching, and always, oh getting up in the morning, had a bad taste in my mouth. I could not enjoy my food, and at last became so bad that I had to call in a doctor. He prescribed for me, and I continued taking the medicine, but it ■did me no good. I then called in another doctor, who told me that I was suffering from a disordered liver, and .advised a change of climate as the only remedy. I tried other medicines, which did me no good, so I resolved to try the change of climate, and came out to South Australia. My health, however, did not improve, but, on the other hand, I gradually became worse, and often, when venturing a few _yards from my house to get a little fresh air, fell down in the street, and had to be assisted to my home. I gradually became worse, and my friends took me to a hospital, but after the doctor had nearly physicked m e to •death they discharged me as incurable. When I left that institution I was so weak that my daughter had to assist —almost carry—me from the door to the tram, a distance of only a few yards. The doctors also told my daughter that 1 was not to be left alone, as I might be called away from this world at any moment.’ 4 To look at you now, Mrs M’Arney,’ said the reporter, 4 no one would think you had suffered a pain in your life I 4 That is just how 1 feel,’ replied the old lady, -cheerfully, 4 and it is all through Bile Means.’ 4 What induced you to try

Bile Beans, after the best doctors had failed ?’ 4 Well, I will tell you; I saw a report in the paper of a person who had been cured by them, and resolved to try them myself. I obtained a box, and in about a week my health began to improve. I continued taking them until I had finished the first box, and then obtained two more, and before I had finished the third all pain had left me, my appetite had return-

ed, and I was able to sleep well, and, altogether, felt in splendid health.’ 4 Did you take any other kind of medicine during that time, Mrs M’Arney ?’ 4 1 took nothing whatever but the Bile Beans, and that is why I know that they alone cured me.’ 4 1 must say you look well enough now,’ said the reporter. 4 Yes, and I feel well, too,’ observed the old lady, ‘ and instead of

dying, as I was expected to do, I can walk into Adelaide, a distance of about two miles—and after a short rest, return without feeling any the worse for it ; and, what is more, I am now living by myself, and doing- all my own work ! All my relatives and many of the neighbours know —and will tell you—how bad 1 was before 1 took Bile Beans. If it had not been for this wonderful medicine I am quite sure

I would not be alive to-day to talk to you I I can assure you I will never be without a supply of those wonderful Bile Beans.’ As the reporter wished the hale old lady good-bye it was impossible not to feel that the cure was, indeed, a marvellous one. Margaret Carter, of Bth-street, Bowden, has known Mrs M’Arney for several years, during the whole of

which time, until a few weeks ago, she has known her to be a great sufferer. She says : — ‘ She was taken to a hospital in Adelaide, and after being there for some time was discharged, looking quite as bad as when she went there. 1 have seen her many times during the past few weeks, and on each occasion have noticed a great improvement in her health —in fact, she is so well now that she does her work quite easily, and, what is more, takes a good long walk occasionally without feeling any the worse for it. Her recovery has astonished me, as when I saw her a day or two after she left the hospital, I did not think she would live to see the week out.’ Mrs C. J. Gliddon, of Gilbert-street, Bowden, states that she has known Mrs M'Arney for over five years, and knows well how she suffered during the whole of that time. She says : ‘I was present when she was taken to a hospital in Adelaide, more dead than alive, and saw her immediately after she was discharged from the above institution as incurable. I know that she was advised as a last resource to try Bile Beans, and that after taking a few boxes she was completely cured. She tells me that she has not felt so well and strong for 30 years.’ STATUTORY DECLARATION. 1, Bridget M'Arney, of Gibson-street, Bowden, in the province of South Australia, do solemnly ami sincerely declare that the statement made by me to the representative of ‘The Advertiser’ re Bile Beans and my illness and recovery is perfectly true.
