MANKIND Is PROGRESSING.
The present age is one Of advancement.
On every side the inventive mind, deep re-
search and cunning hands are diligently
striving to perfect schemes whereby the
masses may be benefited and elevated to a
higher plane Of usefulness in life. Science
has dispelled superstition in all the civilized
lands, and in rapidly making inroads in the
chimes where belief in witchcraft and the
"black art " have for centuries made miser-
able the lives Of the inhabitants. A hum
dred years ago, even in this beautiful Sec
ton of the country, now almost the center
of civilization and culture, had a person as
serted that the infections of tho human
voice could be transmitted to a distance Of
hundred miles he would have been treated
either as lunatic or an emissary 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
following statements made by well-known
citizens of Providence Mr.. Edward X.
Dawley, with Waldron, Wightman & Co.,
gives remarkable testimonial of the worth
of Hunts Remedy. Mr.. Dawley said "For
many years ! suffered intensely with what
had every reason to believe was rheumatism.
When | was first attacked was confined
to my bed and could not walk a step;
could hardly bear the weight of the bed
clothes, so excruciating was the agony l en-
dured. DIR. - Ian old and well-known
homeopathic physician), treated me, but |
received no benefit from his medicines.
Then tried physician OF the other school,
from whom | received temporary relief, the
effects of applying blisters. Still his course
of treatment did not remove the cause of
the trouble. | was subjected to attacks OF
frequent recurrence, which always gave me
intense pain and left me in bad condition,
physically speaking. | always noticed that
before these attacks came on, my kidneys
were affected. Then my limbs would begin
to swell, and then the joints would enlarge.
At every attack would doctor myself thor
oughly, trying this physician and then that,
first following the advice of one, and then
that of another, none OF the treatments
seeming to reach the cause of my affection.
Having been acquainted with the present
proprietor of Huut's Remedy for a long
time | was induced by him to give the
Remedy trial, hoping that it might reach
the seat of the disease, and after taking one
bottle found myself very much improved,
and before finishing the second bottle |
found that was feeling more relieved and
was in better shape than l had been after
any of my previous attacks. | felt then
that had at last reached cure. | found
that my rheumatism was but a series of at
tacks of kidney disease ; as a matter of fact
my rheumatism was mythical. | always
keep Hunts Remedy by me, and whenever
feel any effects of a cold in my kidneys,
resort to Hunts Remedy always, with the
same prospects of immediate relief. | be-
lieve, sincerely, that the Remedy reached
the cause of my whole trouble.
have known of great many cases of
kidney disarrangements that were cured by
the Remedy. To my own knowledge it is,
and has been for number of years, used
extensively throughout the State. 1t is ex-
tensively prescribed by several of our lead
ing physicians, and they are free to admit
that, for the treatment Of the various kidney
troubles, they can find no satisfactory sub
stitute. Hunts Remedy has been used very
successfully, and with beneficial results, in
my own family, outside of my own indi-
vidual case. My relatives have also used it
with good results. Not only that, but sew
eral of my friends and acquaintance 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
cures coming to my knowledge was the case
of very prominent manufacturer in the
southern part of Rhode Island. He had
suffered for long term of years with kid
ney disease, yet less than two bottles of the
Remedy entirely cured him. A sister of
this same gentleman, a resident of Connecti-
cut, was suffering with what her doctors
called Bright's 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 remedial agent through
out the country wherever known, as a spe-
ciic for kidney diseases of all kinds, as it
has already stood the trying test of years.
Testimonials of its sterling worth are, to my
own knowledge, constantly being received by
the proprietor from all parts of the country"
Mr.. Franklin Sanford of No. 8 Dodge
street said "About year ago, when was
in Cincinnati, was seized with dropsical
trouble, my limbs, from my knees down to
my feet, being swollen TO nearly twice their
natural size. Not having time to see reg
ular physician and wishing to start for the
East as soon as possible, stepped into a
neighboring drug store, and, stating my
difficulty, asked the proprietor if he could
give me any relief He smilingly answered
in the affirmative, and, reaching up to one
of the shelves, took down bottle of Hunts
Remedy, directing me to take it and would
be cured. | remarked, you don't think
this is any good do you This is patent
medicine p The druggist replied that the
medicine was very highly recommended,
and, on the strength of his assurance, pur.
chased the Remedy. Before taking one
bottle all the swelling had entirely disap-
peared and / was cured. | consider my
cure a remarkable instance, and would not
now live day without having bottle of
Hunts Remedy in the house. 1t is most
valuable medicine and cannot be spoken of
in too complimentary manner"
Physicians will not publicly indorse a
proprietary medicine. The code of the pro-
fession forbids it; hence, though they may
be thoroughly acquainted with the pc sitively
beneficial qualities of patent medicine,
they are bound upon honor not to vouch for
it. AS matter of fact, Hunts Remedy is
extensively used by leading physicians. One
of them said only few days ago that he
used it in his practice and prescribed it in
certain cases. 1t was an excellent compound,
and prepared solely from vegetable products.
Knowing fully its valuable medicinal quail
ties he was free TO use it. While he could
not publicly indorse it, he would be glad to
attach his signature to circular intended
for the profession only urging its general
use. He further said that the proprietor
would greatly accommodate the profession
if he would place it in drug stores in bulk,
and allow the physicians to send their pa
tients for it on regularly prepared pre-
scription. The sentiments of this one prac-
titioner but echo the oft-repested expires.
sions of many other shining lights Of the
medical profession.
DIR. A. ID. NickeTson, managing editor of
the EUening Press and Morning Star, says
al have used Hunts Remedy and have
been greatly helped by it. For the classt $
of diseases for which It is designed | know
Of no superior remedy"
The Rev. f. G. Taylor, DID, of this city
says " | think Hunts Remedy is an excel.
lent medicine. | had disarrangement OF
the kidneys and by advice used the Remedy
with beneficial effects"
Mr.. Charles Il. Medbury, bookkeeper for
the Messrs. j. b. & S. NJ. Knowles, silver.
smiths, No. 90 Pine street, this city, said
that last fall he was cured of kidney affec.
ton by the use of three bottles of Hunts
Remedy.
Mr. George o. Willard, city editor of the
EUening Press and Morning Star, says
have been troubled with disarranged kid
neys for number of years. Lately, at the
advice OF my family physician, have been
using Hunts Remedy, and with very bene,
fetal results. The Remedy is, in my
opinion, invaluable TO those suffering with
any disease of the kidnevs."
