The financial interests of this country have
received = severe blow in the sudden death OF
Hon. Fernando Wood. Not only Was ne the
father of the original A per cent. funding Dill;
Int il was through his suggestions that the
per cent. bill, on which final action vas taken
Yesterday, reached the attention OF Congress.
His death is q most untimely occurrence,
while the cause of il is yet more serious anu
vorthv of the most careful consideration.
The sudden deaths of prominent men In
politicsl. financial and commercial circles
have attracted the greatest attention IN an
parts of America. Edward Everett, Charles
Sumner. Salmon P. Chase, and Henry wilson
are all striking examples Of this vital TRUTH
and the causes of their untimely deaths can
readily be traced to the same source MI.
Wood and Secretary Chase died OF Bright
disease of the kidneys. while the troubles
with which the other NAMED gentlemen died
were apoplectic in their nature. The original
cause. however, in every case above named
was diseased, and. consequently, imperfect
kidneys. and apOplexy was only the final ex-
preston of organic trouble. located in the
i d ,eys. So much has been said, both in the
public press and otherwise. upon this subject
that the people Of this country, and of New
England especially, have become thoroughly
aroused to its importance. With this truth
in view, some facts are herewith given which
cannot but prove of value to many, ana OF
unquestionable interest to all.
Information received from private sources
regarding the health statistics of the present
national census report shows that New Eng
land is specially subject to kidney and liver
difficulties, doubtless owing to the peculiar
nature of our climate and our consequent
manner of living. But, while the census re-
port shows these facts in general, probably
few men in New England are better prepared
to Judge of the condition of the public health
than Mr.. Goodwin. Of the firm of George Z.
Goodwin & Co., SO and 3S Hanover street.
Having been conversant not only with the
public needs, but with all that is fitted to
meet those needs. for a long term of years,
his facilities for knowing these facts are most
unusual. Mr.. Goodwin was seen by our rep
, resentative in the private Office of his store.
He stated that, for the past few years. kidney
difficulties had been greatly increasing. and
that many disorders which bear other names,
are, in reality, kidney diseases. Among this
number were Apoplectic. Dropsical, Paralytic
and Rheumatic difficulties, as well az heart
disease and commissions. Commissions are
not disease; they are simply the final ex-
preston of some serious disorder back in the
system. Mr.. Goodwin had watched this mat
ter carefully, and. from his observation. had
found that since the introduction to the pub
lie of the remedy now known as Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure there had been
| many remarkable cures, not only of sO-called
hopeless cases of Bright's disease, but also of
| the innumerable troubles which precede this
\. IL, -.
GUS complaints. The use of the remedy,
| therefore, might well be considered n nation
al blessing. and thousands who had SO found
it readily established the fact that it was. Mr..
Josiah Bryant and Mr.. Geo. F. Kellogg, who
are associated with Mr.. Goodwin, confirm. d
his statements, and instanced several promi-
nent cases in verifcation thereof Among
them was a gentleman residing in Lowell and
also lady living in Charlestown, both of
whom had been absolutely cured of the terri
BILE Bright's disease by the use of Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
A call was then made upon Mr.. A. S.
Young, of the firm of Written, Burdett &
Young, mammoth clothiers, No. 4 Winthrop
Square. Upon being questioned as to his
experience, Mr.. Young said: "My wife's sis
ter, who lives just out of Boston, was, a few
months since, stricken down with Bright's
disease of the kidneys, so pronounced BY en-
inent Boston physicians, whose names pre-
fer not to mention. She at last grew so
much worse that the doctors, called in at q
consultation, said she must die 1t was, per-
haps, the next day, that we received tele-
gram that she was dying. My wife and l
fastened to her bedside, and we telegraphed
ahead to take her case out of the hands Of the
doctors, as they had told me, as we'll as others,
that there was no hope. l telegraphed the
nurses to begin giving her Warmers Safe Kid
ney and Liver Cure, being satisfied from the
remarkable cure of Mr.. Larrabee of this CITY
with which l was conversant-it was the
only thing we could do. In three DAYS from
that time the albumen deposits ceased to ap-
pear. One doctor then fastened to claim her
improvement as the result of his treatment,
and asked her to stop taking the remedy.
She did so, and rapidly grew worse. Then he
told her to use it again, and the result 10 that
to-day she is nearly well. sir, and not only
about, but able to attend to her duties"
| The reference made BY Mr.. Young to Mr..
Larrabee prompted the man of news to call
and see that gentleman at the Office of the
New York and Boston Despatch Express
Company. Mr.. Larrabees experience is 90
we'll known as to necessitate but a brief ex-
PLANTATION, and it is perhaps sufficient to saw
that. for more than three weeks about one
year ago, he lay at the point of death. given
up BY both physicians and friends. Through
the almost miraculous power, however, Of
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. he
was restored to health and enabled to attend
to his extensive business interests. Mr..
Larrabee is to-day one of the most perfect
pictures Of health to be found in this CITY.
He greeted his visitor cordially and the fol-
lowing conversation ensued:
How are you feeling?" Mr.. Larrabee?

"Not the slightest, sir; my kidneys are in
