(Bostom G,o6e.)
The readers Of this paper were more OF less
amazed at most remarkable statement from
one of our leading citizens which appeared IN
yesterdays issue. So unusual were the cir.
cumstances connected with it, and 90 much
comment did it occasion on the street and in
social circles, that q 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. F. 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:
"Well, sir, logically have been dead, but
really am as you can see me. A little over
q year ago was taken Sex. Ny trouble Was
not severe at first and thought 1t was the re-
suit of slight cold Somehow / felt unac-
countably tired at times although 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
moro or less much of the time. A while after
ward noticed much that was peculiar about
the fluids was passing and that sediment,
scum and . strange accumulation appeared In
It. Still did no. realize that these things
meant anything serious and allowed the ILL

severe pains in all parts Of my body and it
was almost impossible TO get my breath.
For six days / never laid down and
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
skill of the physicians, kept growing worse
and finally they tapped my side in 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 doc
tor gave me up entirely, declared could not
live more than twenty four hours and my
daughter, who was residing in Paris, was tele.
graphed for. Still fingered along for several
weeks, Tar more dead than alive, but never
giving up hope. One pisbtNit was on the
10th Of April, / very well remember-my at
tendant, who was reading the papel 70 me,
began an article which described my disease
and sufferings exactly. 1t told how some Sc

and SO clearly and sensibly did it state the
case that l determined to try the means Of
cure WHICH it described So ] sent my man

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 morning
was able to breathe freely; the pain began to
leave me and the bloating decreased l con-
tinued to take the medicine, and to-day, sir,
am as 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 know what this medicine is
made of, or anything else about It, but know
it saved my life when | was given 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 /
have recommended it. There are number of
very remarkable cases In Lynn and Salem, as
well as In this city, that It has cured. My re-
covery is SO remarkable that it has excited
much attention, and physicians as well as 9TH
ers have investigated it thoroughly. / am
glad they have, for 1 feel that the results of
such a 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"
The representative of the press thanked Mr..
Larrahee for his very frank and clear state
ment, and was about to leave the office when
q 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 be was, whereupon the gentleman
said:
"And so am l, and have come all the way
from Chicago for that very purpose. Kidney
troubles seem to lie 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 I tell you,
sir, 1t Is simply wonderful"
What did they sayt' asked the man OF
news.
Say! why, sir, they fully confirm every
thing Mr.. Larratee has stated. l went to see
DIR. d. A. johnson, at 90 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
mesa Messrs. Brugh s Carter are the propri-
etors, and asked them about Nj Larrabee's
case. Mr.. Brugh pointed to the electric an
nunc;ator and said. why for weeks and weeks
every time that bell rang / said: That means
the QeatQ OF LarraDee. NO one AROUND
the hotel ever dreamed that he would recover
ami 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
then called on Dr. johnson who said that |
Mr.. Larrabee's case was very remarkable
one. He was his family physician and ex-
pected his death every hour for number of
weeks and never called 20 see him during
that time, but he was prepared for it. The !
doctor said the recovery was due to Warmers !
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and If he had |
friends, male or female, troubled with Albu- |
men or any kidney troubles, he should GER
tainly 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. He |
said that ladies after CESSATION are specially |
subject to elbuminous troubles which require |
prompt attention
Well, then came down and called on DR.. |
H. Ingersou Bowditch on Boylston street
