DR.. G.. NJ BOURNE Dear Sir 1t is with
pleasure and satisfaction that now let you

think it my duty to acknowledge to you and
the world the benefit l 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 chills fevers loss of strength, and was

thinking, ana fnallyI determined to leave
my business and go to the Sandwich Islands.
having been informed that l could not be

while waiting for ship, called upon DR..

and do my duty as Engineer on the Central
Pacific Railroad The Doctor objected, but

In about two weeks Icy 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

the Water Cure once more. I-went to San
Francisco-few of my friends expecting me
to return. In fact, thought my return doubt

several weeks. and find that am gaining
every day, and at present bid fair to be stout

This letter Iwrite for the benefit of all the
