A Card of Thanks.
Whereas, on the 22d day of January, 1886, 1
received a severe full, injuring internal organs
and fracturing one leg, thus causing a general
shock, and so deranging the function of various
organs, that for weeks life was in imminent
danger thus requiring just what I received
first of Dr. Parks, my partner, all that kind
ness and skill could do, was done by him dur
ing the many weeks of severe affliction; next,
to Dre. A. H. Hewetson and J. E. West, of St.
Clairsville; Clark, of Morristown; Whitsett, of
Hendryshurg, and Burges, of Athens, for fre
quent visits and valuable aid. To Drs. Hogue,
Sights, LaffertT, WorkmaH, Webster, Hobson,
and Cobb, for their kindly visits and words of
comfort, I am truly grateful. To those who
volunteered their aid, and coming from near
and far to watch over me through the weary
nights for several weeks, 1 cannot express my
thanks as I feel it, and to tlose four hundred
visitors during the day-time I am thankful;
and, above all, to the Great Father, who direc
ted all this kindness to be bestowed on me, am
truly thankful. Very truly,
