Prominent Bostonian.

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. +. 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 am as you can see me. A little over
| year ago was taken ok. My trouble was
not severe at first and thought it was the re-
suit OF a slight cold. Somehow | felt unac-
countaby tired at times although l 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 strange accumulation appeared in

meant anything serious and allowed the i'll

For six. days never laid down and
never slept l was constantly attended
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, | kept growing worse
and finally they tapped my side in the vicinity
OF the heart taking away forty-six ounC es Of
water This relieved me for the time, but l
soon became as bad as before. Then the doc
tor gave me up entirely, declared could not
live more than twentyf four hours and my
daughter, who was res ding 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, | very well remember-my at
tendant, who was reading the paper to me,
began an article WHICH described my disease
and sutferings exactly. 1t told how some Sc
we're 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 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
tensely. l could not sleep; l had the
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 1
was able to breathe freely; the pain began to
leave me and the bloating decreased. l con-
tinucd to take the medicine, and to-day, sir, I
am as well as | ever was in my lie, and wholly
owing to the wonderful, almost miraculous
power of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. do not know what this medicine is
made OF, or any hing else about it, but know
1t saved my life when l was gwen 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 1
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 re-
coyery 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 / 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, liveror
heart, in some OF their many dangerous forms.n
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
saidi
"And so am |, and have come all the way
troubles seem to be alarmingly increasing all
over the country, and have very near rela-
tive who is afflicted much as Mr.. Larrabee
was. / have been to see the physicians of
whom Mr. Larrabee speaks, and / tell you,
sir, it is simply wonderful"
What did they sayl" asked the man of
news.
"Say why sir, they fully confirm every
thing Mr.. Larrabee has stated. l went to see
DR.. ID. A. johnson, at 20 Worcester street.
He was absent when l called, and so / stepped
into the Commonwealth Hotel, where Mr..
Larabee was living at the time of his sick
ness. Messrs. Brugh q Carter are the propri-
etors, and asked them about Mr.. Larrabee's
case. Mr.. Brugh pointed to the electric an
nunciator and said, why for weeks and weeks
| every time that bell rang l said: That means
i the death Of Mr.. Larrlbee. No one around
| the hotel ever dreamed that he would recover
and when the doctors would come down from
| his 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 "
I then called on Dr. johnson who said that
| Mr.. LARA 'ees case was very remarkable
| one. He was his family physician and ex-
| pected his death every hour for a 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 Warmers
| Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and II he had
| friends male or female, troubled with Albu-
| men or any kidney troubles, he should GER
| talnly 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 lie
| said that ladies' after CESSATION are specially
| subject to albuminous troubles which require
prompt attention.
Well, then came down and called on DIR.
| H. Ingersoll Bowditch on Boylston street.
| The old doctor was inclined to be reticent,
| but fully confirmed all l had previously
| learned. He had attended Mr.. Larrabee, and
supposed him beyond all hope, and he was
