Alice Person of Franklinton became interested in medicine when one of her daughters became ill with a type of tuberculosis. Doctors said that her daughter would not live, but Mrs. Person followed a stranger's directions for an herbal remedy, and three weeks later the child was cured. Mrs. Person heard a case of a similar illness, she sent a batch of the herbs, which were soon known as “Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy.”
