The Rev. c. y. Harvey, d. D., of the
Howard University, of Washington, has
addressed the following letter to Messrs.
H. II. Warner Il Co., of Rochester, y. Y:
GENTLEMEN | take pleasure in stating
that have for two years past been &C.
quainted with the remedy known as War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and
with its remarkable curative efficiency in
obstinate and so-called incurabie cases of
Bright's Disease IN this city. In some of
these cases, which seemed to be in the last
stages, and which had been given up by
practitioners Of both schools, the speedy
change wrought by this remedy seemed
but little less than miraculous. am con-
WINGED that for Brights Disease, in all its
stages, no remedy heretofore discovered can
be held for one moment in comparison
with this Respectfully yours,
