This Tuberculosis Thursday, we’re celebrating the belated birthday of a baseball great and big-name TB patient, Christy Mathewson! But who was Christy, and why was he such a big name in Saranac Lake? Christy was considered one of the greatest baseball pitchers of all time, and he contracted TB after WWI. He came to Saranac Lake in 1920 to seek the cure, and originally stayed at the Santanoni under the care of Dr. Edward Packard. In 1924, Christy, his wife, and son moved into the house on Park Avenue that is now known as Christy Mathewson Cottage.
Over the years, Christy’s health slowly improved to the point that he became a part owner of the Boston Braves and got involved with charity efforts to support tuberculosis patients and research. Unfortunately, he was involved in a car accident in 1924 that injured his arm, and by the end of the year his health had deteriorated again. He caught a cold that wouldn’t go away while at spring training with the Braves in April of 1925, and returned to Saranac Lake for bed rest. The baseball world was stunned when he passed away on October 7, 1925. His wife remained in the house on Park Avenue until the 1950s, when she returned to Pennsylvania. Christy was one of the first five inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936 along with Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, and Walter Johnson.

My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.

Hi everyone... Am so excited to share my testimony of a real spell caster who brought my husband back to me. My husband and I have been married for about 6 years now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr. Wale can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and I did it and he did a spell for me. 48 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family is living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr. Wale If you have any problem contact him and I guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. you can WhatsApp him +1(978) 406-9575 or Email him at : everlastingspellcast@gmail.com or view his website for more review https://everlastingspellcaster.website2.me/contact

Its a pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i got cured from Genital Herpes 2 months ago through Dr Harry I have been reading so many comments of some people on Youtube who were cured from various diseases by Dr HARRY , but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try Dr HARRY, then i contacted him through his email (drharryherbaltemple@gmail.com) when i contact him, he assured me 100% that he will heal me and i pleaded with him to help me out. My treatment was a great success, he cure me just as he promised. He sent me the herbal medicine through UPS and instruct me to go for check up after 2 weeks of taking the medication. I agreed with him and took the herbal medicine and i went for check up after two weeks of taking the medication, to my greatest surprise my result was negative. I am really happy that i am cured and healthy again. I have waited for a month to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test a week ago and it was still Herpes negative. So i guess its time i recommend anyone going through Herpes, HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV/AIDS, HPV, Hepatitis B, penis enlargement ,low sperm count,premature ejaculation,Diabetes and Cancer to contact Dr HARRY on his Email drharryherbaltemple@gmail.com Call and Whatsapp him on +2349036417079 His website https://drharryherbaltempl.wixsite.com/solutiontemple He will also cure you just as he did to me and i will continue to share this great testimony on the internet for people to get cured and to know that there is a cure out there and Dr HARRY herbal medicine is the perfect medicine to all manner of diseases.

I was able to purchase a mortgage home after there helped in upgrading my credit score. Things has been more good for me now.
