The recent sad death of Mr.. ]. F. Ar,
mour by that terrible complaint,
Bright's disease of the kidneys, is a
striking instance of the alarming in
crease of kidneys and liver difficulties
in this country, and brings the subject
so prominently before the community
as to make 1t one OF preeminent i'm
portance. The interest which so vita
a topic has awakened, both in the East
and in the West. the talk it has occa-
stoned, and the attention it is attract
ing from the best scientific and medical
skill which the land affords, have
prompted the making of some investi-
cations.
The prevalence of kidney difficulties
being fact which needs no investiga-
ton, the important and valuable truths
must be those which shall show how
the increase of these diseases can be
stopped, or, being in existence, how
they can be cured. In recent lecture
by DIR. Charles Craig, delivered before
the Metropolitan Scientific Association,
and which has been published quite ex-
tensively, he makes special mention,
and in most emphatic manner, of
certain specific recently discovered,
which is an absolute cure for Bright's
disease, as well as all minor kidney and
liver disorders.
To test the validity of the statement
made by DR.. Craig, a collection of such
data as could be found was made, and,
after numerous inquiries and investiga-
tons, the following facts were secured:
A call was made at the extensive
store of G. Jevne, Nos. no and 112
Madison street Mr.. Jevne introduced
the investigator to Mr.. Frank A. Gle
land, gentleman in his employ, whose
father, Mr. Samuel Cleland, was known
to have been very low with kidney dis
ease. Mr.. Cleland said: 'My father
was treated by a host of doctors, and
tried any quantity of medicines, but he
got so bad that not only he, but all his
friends had given up hopes of his re-
covery He was finally recommended
to try Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, and all can say is, that he is to-
day as well man as there is in Chica-
go. We do not, any of us, know any
thing about the remedy, but it did a
wonderful thing in curing my father,
and if he was in the city now he would
tell you so better than | can, for he is
an old journalist and knows how to talk
to newspaper men,"
At the first window in the West Di-
vision postoffice, corner OF Halsted and
Washington streets, Mr.. A. @. Brown.
the head of that division, was found
Upon being questioned, Mr.. Brown
said:
"Well, sir, my wife was in terrible
condition for more than five years. She
seemed to have complication of dis
eases, eliminating in Bright's disease,
and she had been doctored all the way
from San Francisco to Chicago. l have
frequently seen her fall upon the floor
insensible, and | never expected she
would get up again. Indeed, never
went home but | was prepared to find
her laid out dead. She tried every
thing we could think Of, and the doc
tors were all very kind. AT last
she began taking Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure, and the eff
feet was very marked at once. She re-
gained her strength and spirits, has
been able to attend to all her duties,
and the terrible sinking spells she
formerly had have never returned. |
consider it a most marvellous cure, and
| cannot speak of the remedy too high
ly. Upon my recommendation my
father-in-law, Mr.. Lathrop, who was
also terribly afflicted with kidney
trouble, began using the same remedy,
and was not only entirely cured, but
also relieved of most painful stric-
ture | would also state that one of
our letter carriers who took Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure upon my
recommendation has found it bene-
fetal, and has been enabled to return
to his post"
DR.. T. 7. Oliver, who was conversant
with Mrs. Browns case. was called
upon at his residence, No. 1905 Cot
tage Grove avenue. His open counte-
nance and long, snowy beard indicated
an intelligent and well-informed man.
When asked concerning the case of
Mrs. Brown he said that she had been
in a most precarious condition. Her
heart and lungs were badly affected
owing to the deceased condition of her
kidneys and liver, and the liability to
sudden death had been imminent.
"You consider then, doctor, that
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
was the efficient element in effecting
her cure, do you?"
"Most decidedly" answered the doc
tor, "and her cure seems to be as per-
manent as it is gratifying.
A visit was then paid to the office of
Mr.. E. St. John, general passenger and
ticket agent of the Chicago Rock
Island & Pacific railroad company.
Mr. Melvin III. Robinson, in one of the
departments, received the scribe most
courteously. He stated that, some
time ago, his wife had been attacked
by most serious kidney difficulty, i'm
mediately following CESSATION. This
occurred while they were residing at the
east, and they employed some of the
ablest physicians in New York city. In
spite of all, however, Mrs. Robinson
grew worse, and finally the well-knOwn
DIR. Bucklyn recommended the use of
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
as last resort. The effect of the
remedy was most surprising, and re-
suited in a perfect and permanent
cure. Mr.. Robinson stated that, upon
his recommendation. Mr.. J. p Wood
bury, who is employed in the same
office, mad used the remedy in the case
of his wife, and with the same favor
able results experienced by Mrs Rob
insOn.
A call was next made at McVicker's
theater, where the reporter found Mr..
James I. Gibson, who has been con-
nected with the theater for number
of years. Mr.. Gibson stated that he
had ben afflicted by a terrible kidney
difficulty, which threatened to become
Bright's disease, and gave him the
most intense pains. He had continued
at his post, however, although there
were times when he had felt that it was
almost impossible to do so, Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure had re-
lieved him entirely and he considered
it the best remedy for kidney and liver
trouble that had ever been discov-
cred.
Upon being Intercepted, Mr.. ]. H.
McVicker said that Mr. Gibson had
been in his employ for number of
years, and while he did not per-
sonally know of the sickness TO which
he referred, his statement could be
relied upon.
The next call was at the wholesale
