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 It's facts. The article referred
to was statement made by Mr.. B. r. 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: u gE paw

very remarkable cases in Lynn and Salem, as

much attention, and physicians as well as 9th
ers have Investigated it thoroughly. 1 am
glad they have, for ! feel that the results OF
such wonderful cure should be known to the
thousands in all parts of the land who are

The representative Of the press thanked Mr..
Larrabee for bis very frank and clear state
a 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: ar aa# - H. sf@
"And so am /, and I have come all the way
from Chicago for that very purpose. Kidney
troubles seem to be alarrnngIy increasing all
over the country, and haveaa very near rela-
tive who is afflicted much as Mr.. lara bee

thing Mr. Larrabee has stated. Invent to see
DR.. d. A. Johnson, az 20 Worcester street.
He was absent when / called, and so stepped
into the Commonwealth Hotel, where MIR.
Larabee was living at the time of his sick
ness. Messrs. Brugh d Carter are the propri-
etors, and asked them about Mr.. Larrahee' e
case. Mr.. Brugh pointed to the electric an
nunciator and said, why forweeks and weeks
every time that bell rang / said: That means
the death Of Mr.. Iarrabee. No one around
she hotel ever dreamed that he would recover
and when the doctors would come down from
bis room they would shake their heads and
say there was no hope The arrangements for
the funeral were made and his recovery was
simply miracle - W 4 Sos g. S
j then called on DIR. johnson who said that
Mr.. Larrabee's case was very remarkable
one. He was his family physician and ex-
pected his death every hour for number OF
weeks and never called to see him during
that time, but he was prepared for 1t. The
doctor said the recovery was due to Warner s
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and If he had
friends, male or female, troubled with Albu.
men or any kidney troubles, he should GER
tainly advise them to use this remedy Dr..
Johnson said kidney difficulties are more
common than most people think, and that
many symptoms which are supposed to be
other diseases arise from the kidneys. He
said that ladies' after CESSATION are specially
subject to albuminous troubles which require
prompt attention IN CO. w s fs4
Well, then came down and called on DR..
Fl. Ingerson Bowditch on Boylston street.
The old doctor was inclined to be reticent,
but fully confirmed all had previously
learned. He had attended Mr.. Larrabee and
supposed him beyond all hope, and be was
afterward restored, as he said, by Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.g IN
/ next went to see DR.. Melville E.. Webb,
at the Hotel Gluny, for you see was deter
mined to be thorough in the matter. found
DR.. Webba most clear-headed and weIl-in-
formed gentleman. and he said: g
p&''I know of Mr.. Larrabee's ease from having
thoroughly investigated it as medical d.
rector OF a Life Insurance Company, and it Is
one Of the most remarkable cases Ihave ever
met. Nj Larrahee had all the manifesto
lions Of complication. of diseases, and In
their worst forms. He had albumen and casts
in the urine, and terribly diseased liver and
spleen. Indeed, he was so bad that hethrew
himself upon the floor, and with his head upon
a hassock, struggled for breath. It walon
the night when he was 80 bad and when ali
his medical advisers had long given him up
that he began using Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure. The next morning at 10 o'clock
he was able to breathe freely, and has been
ever since. subjected him to the most thor
ough examination possible, after his recovery,
and e can't find out about him. His kid
ness, liver, lungs and heart are perfectly well
and sound. can caly add that, from what
have seen. would unhesitatingly recommend
this remedy"
The conclusions from the statements above
made which come to the newspaper man as
well as the general public, must be two-fold.
First, that modern miracle of healing has
been performed in our midst, and that, too,
by the simplest means and one which is with
III the reach OF every one. II should bsare-
rnemhered that Bright'sdiseas is not usually
a sudden complaint. Its beginnings areslight
aud its growth slow The symptoms by which
it may be detected are different with different
