Kidney and Liver
CURE.
Another Proof that
Bright's Disease in its
worst form is curabIe.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y. Nov. q, 1879,

ROCHESTER, N. Y. Nov. 81, 1879.
Messrs. II. II. WARNER g. Co,
Rochester, N. Y.
Gents; From my own sense of duty,
and upon the advice of friends l have
concluded to offer you a testimonial, pro-
claiming to the world that there is an
absolute cure for IBright's Disease in its
worst form. My daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven years
her life has been a burden she has been
treated by the best physicians in Bu1alo'
Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, Oswego, Hornells-
vile, Rochester, and other places, and a
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deavor to obtain cure or even relief, but
all have pronounced her incurable; have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, hat there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope Of ever
being any better. We finally heard of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and suggested to different ply
sicians that we make a trial of it; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced it a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly.
We finally came to Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
others, were unable TODD anything for he-.
We also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said it had II good reputation,
aud made some remarkable cures, and en-
couraged US to give it a trial; so as a last
resort, We concluded to at least consult
you, and seven weeks ago to-day, l came
TO your Office for that purpose. l took
home Two bottles ofyour KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and commenced giving
it to her according to directions, and by
the time she had taken one bottle, there
was a marked improvement in her condi-
ton she acquired control Of her urinary
functions, which she had not possessed
since childhood all bloat subsidized. she
began to gain in good, solid flesh, and
gained thirteen pounds in about three
weeks. After taking three bottles Of the
remedy, she has in this short space of
seven weeks, become fully cured Of what
was regarded a hopeless case Of Brights
Disease. I wish l could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease, and tell
them as l can not in this letter, that 1
know Brights disease Of the worst type
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and l
gratefully acknowledge that my daugb-
ter's lie and health Is due to the use of
that remedy. Yours truly,
Mrs. NJ. j. CRANE,
No. 4 Edinburgh ST.
Being The subject Of the above testimo-
NAL, l desi: sc to testify TO The truth of is
statements, aad express my gratitude t.
whom it may be due for recovery from
this terrible afliction, and to recommend
similar sufferers to make use Of the same
remedy that ! did,
CARRIE Z. CRANE.
