A kEMAkkABLE SIAIEMENTs
 The onus"fMl Man Made Public.
 The following article from the Democrat an
 Chronicle. of Rochester, N. Y., is of so strikin
 & nature and emanates from so reliable source. that it is herewith republished entire In addition to the valuable matter it contains it will be found exceedingly interesting:
 To the Editor of the Denaoc''0t and Chronicle: SIR My motives for the publication of tn most unusual statements which follow are first. gratitude for the fact that have beel
 saved from a most horrible death, and, second
 ly, a desire to warn all who read this statemen
 against some of the most deceptive influence ! by which they have ever been surrounded. l l is 8 fact that to-day thousands of people ar | within a foot of the grave and they do not knoV 1 it. To tell how I was caught away from jus | this position and to warn others against near | ing it are my objects in this communication.
 On the first day of June, 1881, I lay at my
 in this sHh eH D | agony I then endured, for words can never de scribe it. And yet, if a few years previous, any | one had told me that Twas to be brought SC l low. and by so terrible disease, should have
 scoed at the idea nd haa aabT baways asa Deen un l over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement re-
 alize at times that they are unusually tired and
 cannot account for it. They feel dull and in-
 definite pains in various parts of the body and do not understand it. Or they are exceedingly
 hungry one day and entirely without appetite
 tho next. This was just the way I felt when
 the relentless malady whsh had fastened itself
 nothing; that probably I had taken cold
 which would soon pass away. Shortly after
 this noticed dull, and at times
 neuralgia, pain in my head, but as it would
 1ov ho ho r hut
 little attention to it. However, my stomach
 was out of order and my food often failed to
 digest, causing at times great inconvenience.
 Yet had no idea, even as physician, that
 these things meant anything serious or that 8
 monstrous disease was becoming fixed upon
 me. Candidly, thought was suffering from
 Malaria and so doctored myself accordingly
 But got no better. next noticed peculiar
 color and odor about the fluids I was passing also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and that persistent
 froth and scum appeared upon the surface, and sediment settled in the bottom. And yet I did not realize my danger, for, indeed,
 seeing these symptoms continually, finally
 became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that had no pain in the affected organs or in their vicinity.
 Why I should have been so blind l cannot
 understand.
 There is terrible future for all physical neglect, and impending danger usually brings 8 person to his senses even though it may then be too late I realized, at last, nay critical condition and aroused myself to overcome it. And, Oh how hard tried I consulted the best medical skill in the land visited all the prominent mineral springs in America and travelled from Maine to California. Still grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said I was troubled with spinal irritation; another, nervous prostration; an- other, malaria another, dyspepsia; another, heart disease; another, general debility another congestion of the base of the brain and so on through long list of common dis eases, the symptoms of all of which l really of which time was steadily growing worse. My condition had really become pltiable. The slight symptoms at first experienced were developed into terrible and constant dsorders-the little weight had been reduced from 2O7 to l3O pounds. My life was torture to myself and friends. I could retain no food upon my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. I was living mass of pain. My pulse was un, upon the floor, convulsively clutched the car pet, and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights had the death -premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My urine was filled with tube casts and albumen. l was struggling with Brights Disease of the Kidneys ill it's last stages.
 While suffering thus received call from my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote. rector of St.
 
 our last interview, but in the course of conver- sation he mentioned 8 remedy of which I had heard much but had never used. Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkable cures which had come under his observation, by means of this remedy, and urged me to try it. As practicing physician and a graduate of the schools, cherished the prejudice both natural and common with all regular practitioners, and derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels being the least beneficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr. Foote, that 1 f- nally promised would waive my prejudice and try the remedy he so highly recommended. 1 began it's use on the first day of June and
 9ot Gok it aceGgdng s;oddnga to airectj0RS b1t M thought was 8 good sign for one in my debilitated condition. I continued to take it; the sickeni2g sensation departed and was able to retain food on my stomach. In few as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and I experienced less pain than for merly. was so rejoiced at this improved condition that, upon what l believed few days before was my dying bed, I vowed, in the presence of my family and friends, should l recover I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for the good of hu- manity, wherever and whenever l had an op- portunity. 1 also determined that would give course of lectures in the Corinthian Academy of Music of this city, stating in full the symptoms and almost utter hopelessness Of my disease and the remarkable means by WHICH I have been saved. My improvement was con- stant from that time and in less than three months I had gained twenty-siX pounds Ill flesh, became entirely free from paln ana De- lieve I owe my life and present condition wholly to Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure tue remedy which used.
 Since my recovery I have thoroughly rein, vestigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Brights disease, and the truths developed are I therefore state, deliberately, and as physician, that believe MORE THAN THE DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE CAUSED BY BRIGHT's DISEASE OF THE hID- NEYs. This may sound like rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify 1t. Brights disease has no distinctive symptoms of It's own (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vlclnity), but has the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint. Hundreds of people die daily. certificate of .sHeart Disease" "Apople1y" " Paralysis" "spinal Complaint D "Rheu- "Pneumonia," and other common complaints, when in reality it was Brights Disease of the Kidneys. Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the extent of this disease or it's dangerous and in- sidious nature. It steals into the system like 8 thief, manifests it's presence by the com honest symptoms, and fastens itself upon the constitution before the victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common and fully as fatal. Entire families, it 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 it often shows none whatever, but brings death sud- denly and as such is usually supposed to be heart disease. As one who has suffered and knows by bitter experience what he says I inn
