DIR. G. M. Bourne Dear Sir:-It is with
pleasure and satisfaction that now let you know
of my good health. Looking back on what
have passed through, it seems as if was lifted
from the grave, and l think it my duty to &C.
knowledge to you and the world the benefit de-
rived from water treatment as administered bv
you in your celebrated baths 1t was in August
1864, when disease developed itself with a severe
cough: then took medicines, getting worse,
with chills, evers loss Of strength, and was pro-
nounced consumptive. This set me to thinking,
and finally determined to leave my business and
go to the Sandwich Islands. having been informed
that could not be cured here. l went TO San
Francisco, and while waiting for ship, called up
on DR.. Bourne, who stated That trip to the Is.
lands would probably result disastrously, was
wholly unnecessary, as could then be speedily
cured at his establishment. l placed myself uIi-
der his treatment, and in one week was 80 much
improved that thought could risk returning
home and to my duty as Engineer on the Central
Railroad. The Doctor objected; but thought
knew better and returned to duty, in about two
weeks my cough returned, and l kept getting
worse, and contrary to Dr. Bourne's Injunction
never to take medicine again, committed that
folly. and soon was so completely run down that
could scarcely walk; so. as last resort cOnclu.
ded to once more try the Water Cure. went 10
San Francisco-tew of my friends expecting me
to return; in fact, | thought my return doubtful.
On arriving at DR.. Bonrne's establishment. fFeb-
ruary IA, 1861 was not able to get into the
bath without assistance, but in few days began
to gain. l remained with him only six weeks
when left. "a wiser and better man." without
the aid of medicine. have now been at work
several weeks, and find that am gaining everv
day, and at present bid fair to be stouter than ev-
er before Persons visiting the Doctors establish
ment will find it just wha: it should be. in both
Ladies' and Gentlemens' Departments, and can.
not say too much in praise Of the Doctors kind
attention to his patients.
This letter write for the benefit of the aflict-
ed. to be used as the Doctor decides and should
it be the means OF directing any one TO bis care
and treatment who Gas they assuredly willy find
relief, will be paid for my trouble. Your ODE.
