The readers of this paper were more
or less amazed at a most remarkable
statement from one of our leading citi-
zens which appeared in yesterdays is
sue. So unusual were the circumstan-
ces connected with it, and so much
comment did it occasion on the street
and in social circles, that representa-
tive of this paper was commissioned to
investigate its details and verify its
facts. The article referred to was a
statement made by Mr.. B. +. LaTTabee,
of the New York and Boston Dispatch
Express Company, whose Office is on
Arch street. Mr.. Larrabee was found
by the newspaper man in his private
office, and on being questioned said:
well, sir, logically | have been dead,
but really | am as you can see me. A
little over year ago | was taken sick.
My trouble was not severe at first and |
thought it was the result of slight
cold. Somehow | felt unaccOuntably
tired at times although took an abund-
ance 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 afCerWard |
noted much that was peculiar about
iment, scum and strange accumula-
ton appeared in it. Still did not real
ize that these things meant anything
serious and | allowed the illness to run
along until on the 2Sth day of October

did not go out of the house until the
middle of December. l then went down
town and attempted to attend to my
business until the 18th of last January,
when 1 was taken with a very severe
relapse. My symptoms were terrible.

we're pains in all parts of my body and
it was almost impossible to get my
breath. For six days l never laid down
and never slept. was constantly at
tended by my regular physician, Doctor
Johnson, and Doctor BOwditch also
came to see me nearly every day.
There was no doubt that l was suffer
ing from Bright's disease of the kid

accompanied by other troubles in my
the skill of the physicians, l kept grow
ing worse and finally they tapped my
side in the vicinity of the heart, taking
away fOTty-siX ounces of water. This
relieved me for the time, but | soon be-
came as bad as before. Then the doctor
gave me up entirely, declared 1 could
not live more than twenty-fOur hours
and my daughter, who was residing in
Paris, was telegraphed for. Still l lin
gered along for several weeks, far more
dead than alive, but never giving up
hope. One night-it was on the 2Oth of
April, very we'll remember-my attend
ant, who was reading the paper to me,
began an article which described my
disease and sufferings exactly. 1t told
how some severe cases of Bright's dis
ease had been cured, and so clearly and
sensibly did it state the case that 1 de-
teTmined to try the means of cure
which it described. So l sent my man
to the drug store. procured a 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. I could not sleep;
/ had the short breaths and could
scarcely get any air into my lungs.

and the motion of my heart was irreg-
ulaT and painful. The next morning /
was able to breathe freely; the pain be-
gan to leave me and the blOating de-
creased. continued to take the medi-
cine, and to-day, sir, / am as well as
| ever was in my life, and wholly ow
ing to the wonderful, almost miTacu-
lous power of Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure. l do not know 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 ii
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 we'll as in this

so remarkable that it has excited much
attention, and physicians as well as
others have Investigated it thoroughly.
l am glad they have, for l 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" F"
The representative of the press
thanked Mr.. Larrabee for his very frank
and clear statement, and was about to
