sicians agreed as TO my nalady. One said

another, general debility; another, con-
gestion of the base of the brain: and so on
through a long list of common diseases, the
Symptoms of many of which l really had.
this way several years passed, during
Which time l was steadily growing worse.
Ny condition had really become pitiable.
The slight symptoms L at first experienced
were developed into terrible and constant
disorders. Ny weight had been reduced
from 207 to $50 pounds. Ny life bur
den TO myself and friends | could retain
no food on my stomach, and lived wholly
by injections l was living mass of pain.
NV pulse was uncomfortable. In my agony
/ frequently fell to the floor and clutched
the carpet, and prayed for death Morphine
Dad little or no effect in deadening the pain.
FOR six days and nights l had the death-pre-
monitory hiccoughs constantly Ny water
was filed with tube-casts and albumen. l
was struggling with BrIght's Disease of the
kidneys in its last stages!
While suffering thus l received a call
from nv pastor the Rev. Dr. Foote, at that
time rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church,
of this city. / felt that il was our last in
terview, but in the course of conversa-
ton DR.. Foote detailed to me the
many remarkable cures of cases
his observation. As practicing physician
and a graduate of the schools, / derided the
idea of any medicine outside the regulaau
being in the least beneficial
solicItous however, was DIR. Foote, t.
finally promised i would waive my
lice. 1 began its use on the first
June, 1881, and took IL according to
tons. At first il sickened me; but
thought was good Siqa for one in a

Common and fully as fatal. Entire fami-

called the mysterious power which was
emoving them. Instead of common symp- |

'rings death, suddenly, from convneions,
.poplexy or heart disease.
As one who has suffered, and knows by
