knowledge to you and the world the benefit de-
rived from water treatment rs administered by
you in your celebrated baths. 1t was in August
1864, when disease developed itself with severe
cough. then took medicines, getting worse,
with chils, levers, loss Of strength. and was pro.
nOunced consumptive. This set me to thinking,
and finally determined to leave my business and

that could not be cured here. | went to San

on DR.. Bourne, who stated ?hat trip to the Is-
lands would probably result dsastrousy, was
wholly unnecessary, as | could then be speedily
cured at his establishment. l placed myself un-
der his treatment. and in one week was SO much
improved that thought could risk returning
home and 10 my duty as Engineer on the Central
Railroad. The Doctor Objecled; but thought I
knew better, and rel nrned to duty, in about two
weeks my cough returned, and | kept getting
worse, and contrary to Dr. Bourne's iniunc ion
never 10 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 to
San FranciscO-lew Of my friends expecting me
to return; in fact thought my return doubtful.
