DR.. G.. NJ. BOURNE: Dear SirIt is with pleas
ure and satisfaction that now let you know of
my good health. Looking back upon what
have passed through, it seems as if | had been
lifted from the grave, and think it my duty to
acknowledge TO you and the world the benefit |
derived IRON water baths. 1t was in Aug, 1864.
when disease developed itself with severe cough.
! then took medicines getting worse with chills,
fevers loss of strength, and was pronounced con-
sumptvc. This set me to thinking, and finally
| determined to leave my business and 90 to the
Sandwich Islands, having been informed that
could not be cured | went to San Francisco. and
while waiting for ship called on Dr. Bourne,
who stated that a trip to the Islands would
probably result dsastrously, and was unnecessary
us could be speedily cured at his establishment.
placed myself under his treatment, and in one
week was SO much improved thought could risk
returning home and do my duty as engineer on
the Central Pacific Railroad The Doctor object
ed but thought knew better, and returned to
duty In about two weeks my cough returned,
and | kept getting worse. and contrary to DIR.
Bourne's Injunction, never to take medicines Il.
gain, committed that folly. and soon was so COM
pletely run down that could scarcely walk SO
as Il last resort, concluded once more to try the
water cure. | went TO San Francisco, few OF my
friends expecting me to return; in fact thought
my return doubtful. On arriving at Dr.. Bourne's
establishment, February l4th, 1865, l was not a.
be to get into the bath without assistance, but in
Il few days began to recover myself again. |
remained with him only six weeks, when | felt
"a wiser and better man. without the aid of
medicine. | have now been at work several
weeks and find am gaining every day, and at
present bid fair to be stouter than ever before.
Persons visiting the Doctors establishment find it
lust what it should he, both in the ladies and gen.
temcns departments, and cannot say too much
in praise of the Doctors kind attention to his pa
tents This letter write for the benefit of all
the afflicted, to be used as the Doctor desires, and
should it be the of directing any to his care
and treatment who las they assurcdly will find
relief, will be paid for my trouble.
