through a list of common diseases, thesymp-
toms of all of which really had. In this
way several years passed, duringall Of (which
time l was steadily growing worse. My
condition had really become pitiable. Tho
slight symptoms at first experienced were
developed into terrible and constant disor-
ders-the little twigs of pain had grown to
oaks Of agony. My weight had been re-
duced from POI to 100 pounds. My life was
q torture to myself and friends. could re-
tain no food upon my stomach, and lived
wholly by injections. l was living mass
of pain. My pulse was uncomfortable. In
my agony frequently fell upon the floor,
convulsively clutched the carpet and prayed
for death. Morphine had little or no effect
in deadening the pain. For six days and
nights l had the death-premonitory hc-
coughs constantly. My urine was filed
with tub casts and albumen. l was strug-
Cling with Bright's Disease of the Kidneys
in its last stages.
While suffering thus received acall from
my pastor, the Rev. DIR. Foote, rector of st.
Paurs Church, of this city. felt that sit
was our last interview, but in the course Of
conversation he mentioned . remedy Of
which l had heard much but had never used.
DIR. Foote detailed to me many remarkable
cures which had come under his observation,
by means of this remedy and urged me to
try it. As practicing physician, and grad
uate Of the schools, l cherished the preju-
dice both natural and common with all reg
ular practitioners, and derided the idea of
any medicine outside the regular channels
being the least beneficial. So solicitous,
however, was Dr. Foote, that finally prom
ised would waive my prejudice and try
the remedy he SO highly recommended. l
began its use on the first day of June and
took it according to directions. At first it
sickened me; but this thought was good
sign for one in my dsbilitated condition. /
continued to take,it; the sickening sensation
departed and l was able toI retain food upon
my stomach. In q few days noticed de-
cided change for the better as also did my
wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and
l experienced less pain than formerly. l
was so rejoiced at this improved condition
that, upon what / had believed my dying
bed, vowed, in the presence of my family
and friends, should l recover would both
publicly and privately make known this
remedy for the good Of humanity, wherever
and whenever had an opportunity. l alse
determined that would give course of
lectures in the Corinthian Academy of Mu-
sic of this city, stating in full the symp-
toms aud almost hopelessness of my disease
and the remarkable means by which / have
been saved. My improvement was constant
from that time, and in less than three
months had gained 26 pounds in flesh, BE-
came entirely free from pain and believe
owe my life and present condition wholly to
Warner Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. the
remedy which used.
Since my recovery have thoroughly re-
investigated the subject Of kidney difficult
ties and Bright's disease, and the truths de-
veloped are astounding. l therefore state,
deliberately, and as q physician, that be-
heve more than one-half the deaths which
occur in America are caused by Brights dis
ease Of the kidneys. This may sound like
rash statement, but am prepared to fully
verify it. Bright's disease has no distinctive
symptoms of its own, Indeed, it often de-
velops without any pain whatever in the
kidneys or their vicinity,) but has the symp-
toms Of nearly every other known complaint.
Hundreds Of people die daily, whose burials
are authorized by physician's certificate Of
Heart Disease, Apoplexy, Paralysis, Spinal
Complaint, Rheumatism, Pneumonia, and
other common complaints. when in reality
it was Bright's Disease OF the Kidneys.
Few physicians, and fewer people, realize
the extent Of this disease or its dangerous
and insidieus nature. 1t steals into the
system like thief, manifests its presence
BY the commonest symptoms, and fastens
itself upon the constitution before the VIC
tim is aware. It is nearly - hereditary -
consumption, quite ~ common and fully ~
fatal. Entire families, inhcriting IL from
their ancestors, have died, and yet none Of
the number knew or realized the mysterious
power which was removing them. Instead
Of common symptoms il often shows none
