An Interesting Letter.

SACRAMENTO. April 30. 1865.
DIR. G. NJ BOURNE Dear Sir 1t is with
pleasure and satisfaction that l now let you
know of my good health. Looking back
upon what have passed through, it seems as
il had been lifted from the grave, and
think it my duty to acknowledge to you and
the world the benefit derived from water
treatment as administered by you in your
celebrated baths, 1t was in August 1864,
when disease developed itself with severe
cough. l then took medicines, getting worse
with chils. fevers, loss of strength, and was
pronounced consumptive. This set me to
thinking, ana inallyI determined to leave
my business and 60 to the Sandwich Islands.
having been informed that I could not be
cured here. l went to San Francisco, and
while waiting for ship, called upon DR..
Bourne, who stated that a trip to the Islands
would probably result disastrously. was who'll
ly unnecessary. as could be speedily cured
at his establishment. placed myself under
his treatment, and in one week was so much
improved that could risk returning homo
and do my duty as Engineer on the Central
Pacific Railroad. The Doctor objected, but
thought knew BETTER and returned to duty.
In about two weeks my cough returned. and
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, concluded to try
the Water Cure once more. | went to San
Franciseo-few of my friends expecting me
to return. In fact, l thought my return doubt
full On arriving at DR.. Bournes establish
ment. february A. 1869 l was not able to
get into the bath without assistance but in
few days began to recover myself again
l remained with him oaly six weeks. when l
felt - wiser and better man." without the
aid of medicine. have now been at work
several weeks. and find that am gaining
every day, and at present bid fair to be stout
er than ever before. Persons visiting the
Doctors establishment find it just what it
should be, both in the Ladies' and Gentle
mems Departments, and / cannot say too
much in praise of the Doctors kind attention
to his patients.
This letter write for the benefit of all the
afflicted, to be used as the Doctor decides,
and should it be the means of directing any
to his care and treatment who las they assur-
edly will y find relief, | will be paid for my
trouble. JAMES CAMPBELL,
