The readers of this paper were more or less
amazed at most remarkable statement from
one of our leading citizens which appeared in
Yesterdays issue. So unusual were the cir
cumstances connected with it, and so much
comment did it occasion on the street and In
social circles, that representative OF this pa
per was commissioned to investigate its de-
tails and verify its facts. The article referred
to was statement made by Mr.. B. F. LARA
bee, of the New York and Boston Dispatch Ex-
press Company, whose Office is on Arch street.
Mr. Larrabee was found by the newspaper
man in his private Office, and on being ques-
toned said:
swell, sir, logically have been dead, but
really I am as you can see me. A little over
year ago was taken SEX. Ny trouble was
not severe at first and | thought 1t was the re-
suit of slight cold. Somehow l felt unac-
countably tired at times although took an
abundance of sleep. Then, again, had dull
and strange pains in various parts of my body.
My appetite was good one day and had none
whatever the next and my head panied me
more or less much of the time. A while after
ward noticed much that was peculiar about

scum and a strange accumulation appeared in
it. Still | did not realize that these things
meant anything serious and I allowed the i'll
ness to run along until on the 2Sth day of Oc-
tober fell PROSTATE while walking along Ire
mont street. | was carried home and did not

cenlber. | then went down town and at

18th of last January, when was taken with a
very severe relapse. My symptoms were terri

severe pains in all parts of my body and it
was almost impossible to get my breath.
For six days never laid down and

By my regular physician, Doctor John
son, and Doctor Bowditch also came to
see. me nearly every day. There was
no doubt that | was suffering from Bright s
disease of the Kidneys in its worst form and
last stages, accompanied by other troubles in
my liver and heart. In spite, however, of the
skill of the physicians, I kept growing worse
and finally they tapped my side in the vicinity
OF the heart, taxing away forty-six oun, es OF
water. This relieved me for the time, but
soon became as bad as before. Then the doc
tor gave me up entirely, declared could not
live moro than twenty-four hours and my
daughter, who was residing in Paris, was tele-
graphed for. Still fingered along for several
weeks. far more dead than alive, but never
giving up hope One night-it was on the
10th of April, I very well remember-my at
tendant who was reading the paper to me,
began an article which described my disease
and sufferings exactly. 1t told how some Sc
and so clearly and sensibly did it state the
case that determined to try the means Of
cure which it described. So l sent my man
to the drug store, procured a bottle OF
the medicine, unknown to my physicians
and friends, and took the first dose at ten
O'Clock. At that time was suffering in

short breaths and could scarcely get any air
into my lungs. l was terribly bloated from
head to foot, and the motion of my heart was
irregular and painful. The next morning
was able to breathe freely; the pain began to
leave me and the bloating decreased. l con-
tinued to take the medicine and to-day, sir, I
am as well as ever was in my life, and wholly
owing to the wonderful, almost miraculous
power Of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. l do not know what this medicine is
made of, or anything else about it, but know
it saved my life when was given up by the
doctors and had really been dead for weeks; ];
that it has kept me in perfect health ever since
and has cured many of my friends to whom L
have recommended it. There are number of
very remarkable cases in Lynn and Salem, as
well as in this city, that it has cured. My re-
covery is SO remarkable that it has excited
much attention, and physicians as well as 9TH
ers have Investigated it thoroughly. l am
glad they have, for l feel that the results of
such a wonderful cure should be known to the
thousands in all parts of the land who are
suffering from troubles Of the Kidneys liver or
heart, in some Of their many dangerous FORMS"
The representative of the press thanked Mr..
Larrabee for his very frank and clear state
ment, and was about to leave the Office when
gentleman stepped up to him and inquired
if he were seeking information about Mr.. Lar
rabee's sickness and recovery. The scribe re-
piled that he was, whereupon the gentleman
said:
