OF A PROMINENT BosToNIAN.

Boston Globe.)
The readers Of this paper were more or |
less amazed at most remarkable statement |
from one Of our leading citizens which ap- |
peared in yesterdays issue. So unusual |
were the circumstances connected with it, |
and so much comment did IL occasion on the |
street and in social circles, that represen-
tative of this paper was commissioned to |
investigate its details and verify its facts |
The article referred to was statement |
made by Mr.. b. +. Larrabee, Of the New |
York and Boston Dispatch Express company, |
whose office is on Arch street. Mr.. Lar
rabee was found by the newspaper man in |
his private office, and on being questioned |
said.

really am as you can see me. A little over |
a year ago was taken sick. My trouble |
was not severe at first and / thought it was |
the result of a slight cold. Somehow felt |
unaccountably tired at times although took |
an abundance of sleep. Then, again, had
dull and strange pains in various parts of
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 afterward | noticed much |
that was peculiar about the fluids l was
passing and that sediment, scum and a
strange accumulation appeared in it. Still
did not realize that these things meant any
thing serious and allowed The illness to

not go out of the house until the middle OF
December. | then went down town and
attempted to attend to my business until the
18th of last January, when | was taken with
very severe relapse. My symptoms were
terrible. l was fearfully blosted; l suffered
severe pains in all parts of my body and it
was almost impossible to get my breath.
For six days never laid down and never
slept. l was regularly attended by my reg
ular physician, Doctor johnson, and Doctor
Bowditch also came TO see me nearly every
day There was no doubt that was suffer
ing 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 physi-
clans, kept growing worse and finally they
tapped my side in the vicinity of the heart,
taking away forty-six ounces Of water. This
relieved me for the time, but soon became
as bad as before. Then the doctor gave me
up entirely, declared could not live more
than twenty-four hours and my daughter, who
was residing in Paris, was telegraphed for.
Still fingered along for several weeks, far
more dead than alive, but never giving up
hope. One night-it was on the goth of
April, very well remember-my attendant,
who was reading the paper to me, began an
article which described my disease and suf-
ferings exactly. 1t told how some severe
cases of Brights disease had been cured,
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 bottle of the
medicine, unknown to my physicians and
friends, and took the first dose at ten o'clock.
Atthat time was suffering intensely. could
not sleep: had the short breaths and could
scarcely get any air into my lungs. was
terribly bloated from head to foot, and the
motion of my heart was irregular and pain
full. The next morning was able to breathe
freely; the pain began to leave me and the
bloating decreased. / continued to take the
medicine, and to-day, sir, am as well as
ever was in my life, and wholly owing to

tors 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 have recommended it. There are a
number of very remarkable cases in Lynn
and Salem, as well as in this city, that it has
cured. My recovery is so remarkable that
it has excited much attention, and physi-
clans as well as others have investigated it
thoroughly. / 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 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
statement, and was about to leave the office
when gentleman stepped up to him and in
quired if he were seeking information about
MIR. Larrabee's sickness and recovery. The
scribe replied that he was, whereupon the
gentleman said:
