ht We 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 itscltwith severe cough.
] then took medicines, getting worse with chills,
fevers. loss of strength, and was pronounced con-
sumplve. This set me to thinking, and finally
l determined to leave my business and go to the
Sandwich Islands, having been Informed that
could not be cured. Invent to San Francisco. and
while waiting for ship called on DR.. Bourne
who stated that trip to the Islands would
probably result disastrOusly and was unnecessary
as 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 contT,ry to Dr.
Bourne's Injunction, never to take medicines as
gain. committed that folly. and soon was 30 COM
pletcly run down that | could scarcely walk; SO
as a 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
nv return doubtful. On arriving at DIR. Bourne s
establishment, February l4tb 1868, was not a.
