Proof That the World Moves and That
Mankind is Progressing.
The present age is one of advancement. On
every side the inventive mind deep research
and cunning hands are diligently striving to
perfect schemes whereby the masses may be
benefited and elevated to higher plane of
usefulness in life. Science has dispelled su-
perstition in all the civilized lands, and is rap
idly making inroads in the chimes where belief
in witchcraft and the "black art" have for
centuries made miserable the lives of the in
habitsnts. A hundred years ago. even in this
beautiful section of the country, now almost
the centre of civilization and culture, had
person asserted that the infections of the hu-
man voice could be transmitted to q distance
of q hundred miles he would have been treated
either as a lunatic or emssary of Satan. In
like manner would the compounder of any
medical remedy have been treated had he
claimed for his production the virtues now
generally ascribed to Hunts Remedy. In
proof of this latter assertion read the follow
ing statements made by well-known citizens Of
Providence: Mr.. Edward R. Dawley, with
Waldron, Wightman & Co., gives a re-
markable testimonial of the worth
OF Hunts Remedy. Mr.. Dawley said:
"For many years I suffered intensely with
what had every reason to believe was rheu-
matism. When 1 was first attacked was con-
fined to my bed and could not walk a step;
could hardly bear the weight of the bed
clothes, excruciating was the agony en-
dured. DIR. -, IAN old and well known
homeopathic physician,) treated me, but re-
ceiyed no benefit from his medicines Then /
tried a physician of the other school, from
whom received temporary relief, the effects
of applying blisters. Still, his course of treat
ment did not remove the cause of the trouble
was subjected to attacks of frequent recur-
renee, which always gave me the same intense
pain, and left me in bad condition, physical
" speaking. 1 always noticed that before
these attacks came on my kidneys were affect
ed. Then my limbs would begin to swell, and
then the joints would enlarge. At every at
tack would doctor myself thoroughly, trying
this physician and then that, first following
the advice of one, and then that of another,
lone of the treatments seeming to reach the
cause of my affection. Having been acquaint-
sd with the present proprietor of Hunts Rene
dy for long time, L was induced by him to
give the Remedy trial, hoping that it might
veach the seat of the disease, and after taking
,ne bottle found myself very much improved,
and bofore finishing the second bottle found
that was feeling more relieved and was in
better shape than had been after any of my
previous attacks. 1 felt then that had at last
reached cure. I found that my rheumatism
was but series of attacks of kidney disease;

clans, and they are free to admit THAT, for
the treatment of the various kidney troubles.

Remedy has been used very successfully, and
With beneficial results, in my own family, out
hide of my own individual case. My relatives
nave also used it with good results. Not only
that, but several of my friends and acquain-
ances, of this city and State, have had their
attention called to Hunts Remedy by me, and
they have always found the same benefit in
their own cases One of the most remarkable
lres coming to my knowledge was the case of
a very prominent manufacturer in the south
ern part of Rhode Island. He had suffered for
q long term of years with kidney disease, yet
sss than two bottles of the Remedy entirely
cured him. A sister of this same gentleman,
resident of Connecticut, was suffering with
what her doctors called Brights disease of
the kidneys She discarded their medicines,
and took Hunts Remedy and was entirely
cured by its use. 1t is my belief that the
Remedy is destined to be the standard remedi-
ii agent throughout the country wherever
known, as a specific for kidney diseases of all
kinds, as it has already stood the trying test Of
years. Testimonials of its sterling worth are,
20 my own knowledge, constantly being re-
ieived by the proprietor from all parts of the
country"

Physicians will not publicly indorse pro-
prietary medicine. The code of the profession
forbids it, hence, though they may be thor
oughly acquainted with the positively benef-
c1sl qualities of patent medicine, they are
pound upon honor not TO vouch for it. AS a
matter of fact, Hunts Remedy is extensively
rsed by leading physicians. One of them said
only a few days ago that he used it in his prac-
tice and prescribed it i'll certain cases. 1t was
an excellent compound, and prepared solely
from vegetable products. Knowing fully its
valuable medicinal qualities he was free to
ose il. While he could not publicly indorse it,
ne would be glad to attach his signature to a
i.rcular intended for the profession only, urg-
ing its general use He further said that the

but echo the oft-repeated OK pressions of many
other shining lights of the medical profession.
