Prominent BostOnian.
'(Boston GIobe.)

lie TGaQGTS OF THIS paper were more OF less
amazed at a most remarkable statement from
one Of our leading citizens which appeared in
yesterdays issue. So unusual we're 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;
sWeIl, sir, 1ogicallyI have been dead, but
really am as you can see me. A little over

see me nearly every day. There was
no doubt that l 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, 1 kept growing worse

began an article which described my disease

and so clearly and sensibly did it state the
case that determined to try the means Of
cure which it described. So | 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

very remarkable cases in Lynn and Salem as

much attention, and physicians well as 9th
ers have investigated it thoroughly. 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 about to leave the Office when
a gentleman stepped up to him and inquired
if lie were seeking information about Mr.. Lar
rabee's sickness and recovery. The scribe re-
piled that he was, whereuDon the gentleman

DR.. Webb a most clear-headed and well-in- 1

their worst forms. he had albumen and casts /
