Boston Globe.
The readers of this paper were more
or less amazed at most remarkable
statement from one OF our leading
citizens which appeared in yesterdays
issue. So unusual were the circum-
stances connected with it, and so much
comment did il occasion on the street
aud in social circles, that a representa-
tive of this paper was commissioned
to investigate its detlils and verify is
facts. The article referred to was a
statement made by Mr.. Is. Il. Larrabee,
of the New York and Boston Dispatch
+ press Company, whose Office Is on
Arch street. Mr.. Larrabee was found
by the newspaper man in his private
office, aud on being questioned said:
well, sir, logically have been dead,
bat really am as you can see me, \
little over a year ago | va taken sick.
Ny trouble WAS not severe at first and
| thought il was the result of slight
cold. Somehow | felt unaccountably
tired at times although | took au
abundance of sleep. Then, again, |
had dull and strange pains in various
plrts OF my body. NY 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 l noticed much that was
peculiar about the fluids | was passing
and that sediment, scum aud a strange
accumulation appeared In it. Still |
did not realize that these things meant
anything serious, and l allowed the
illness to run along until on the 18th
day of October l fell PROSTATE while
walking along fremont street was
carried home and did not go out of
the house until the middle of Decem-
Der. / then went down town and
ATTEMPTED to attend to my business
until the 18th of last January, when l
was taken with a very severe relapse.
My symptoms were terrible. was
iear.ully bloated; | suffered severe
pains in all parts of my body, and it
was almost impossible to getmy breath.
For six DAYS / never laid down and
never slept. was constantly attended
by my regular physician, DIR. Johnson,
and DIR. Bowditch also came to see me
nearly every day. There was no doubt
that | was suffering from Bright's di-
sease 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 ply
sicians, | kept growing worse, and
finally they tapped my side i'll 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 i'll 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 EOth of April,
| very well remember-my attendant,
who was reading the paper to me,
began an article which described my
disease and suflerings exactly. 1t told
how some severe cases of Brlght'S dI-
scase 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 physi
clans and friends, and took the first
dose at 10 o'clock. At that time | was
suffering intensely. l 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 painful The next morn
ing | was able to breathe freely; the
pain began to leave me and the bloat- !
ing decreased j continued to take
the medicine, and to-day, sir, am us
well as | ever was in my life, and
wholly owing to the wonderful, almost
miraculous power of Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure. do not
krOw what this medicine is made OF, |
or anything else about it, but l know
it saved my life when | was given up
by the doctors and had really been
dead for weeks; that il has kept me in
perfect health ever since and has cured |
many of my friends to whom | have
recommended it. There are number
of very remarkable cases in Lynn and
Salem, as well rs in this city, that it
has cured Ny recovery is so remark
able that it has excited much atten-
ton, and physicians as well rs others
have investigated it thoroughly. | am
glad they have, for / feel that the results
of such n wonderful cure should he
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 then !
thanked Mr. Larrabee for his very |
frank and clear statement, and was |
about 20 leave the office when a gentle |
man stepped up to him and inquired |
l,a inf nj,
NJ. Larrabee's sickness and recovery. |
The scribe replied that he was, where
upon the gentleman said:
and so am /, and have come all |
the way from Chicago for that very |
purpose. Kidney troubles seem to be |
alarmingly increasing all over the |
country, and have very near relative |
who is afflicted much as Mr.. Lairabee |
was. l have been to see the physicians
of whom Mr.. L..Erabce speaks, and | |
tell you, sir, it is simply wonderful"
"What did they say asked the man
of news.
Say, why, sir, they fully confirm
everything Mr.. Larrabee has stated. |
l went to see DIR. ID. A. Johnson, at 30
Worcester street He was absent when |
called, and so | stepped into the
Commonwealth Hotel, where Mr.. Lar
rabee was living at the time of his
sickness. Messrs. Brugh Il Carter are |
the pToprietors, and asked them about
Mr.. Larrabee case. Mr.. Brugh pointed |
to the electric mnunciator and said,
why, for weeks and weeks every time |
that bell rang | said That means the
death of Mr. Larrabce. Noone 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"
al then called on Dr. johnson, who
said that Mr.. L.rrabce's case was a
very remarkable one. He was his |
family physician, and expected his
death every hour for Il number of
weeks, and never called to see him
during that time but he was prepared
for it. The doctor said the recovery
was due TO Warmers Safe Kidney aud |
Liver cure, and if he had friends, male
or female, troubled with albumen or
any kidney troubles he should certainly
advise them to use this remedy. DIR.
