The representative of the press thanked
Mr. Larrabee for his very frank and clear
statement, and was about o Teave tire office
when a gentleman stepped up To him and
inquired If he We're seeking information
about Mr.. Larrabee sickness and recovery.
The scribe replied that he was, YhereupOn
the gentleman said

Kidney troubles seem to be alarmingly in

as Mr.. Larabee was. I have been TO see the
physicians of whom Mr.. Larrabee speaks,

their heads and say there was no hope.

miracle.
then called on DR.. johnson, who said
that Mr.. Larrabee's case was a very remark
able one. He was his family physician,
and expected his death every hour for a
number of weeks, and never called to see
him during that time, but he was prepar-
ed for it. The doctor said the recovery
was due to Warmers Safe Kidney and Liv-
er Cure. and If he had friends, male or fe

them TO use this remedy. DIR. 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 lie said
that ladies after CESSATION are specially
subject to albuminous troubles, which re-
quire prompt attention.

DR.. II. Ingersoll Bowditch on BOylston
street. The old doctor was inclined to be
reticent, but fully confirmed all had pre-
viously learned. He had attended Mr..
Larrabee, and supposed him beyond all
hope, and he was afterwards restored, as

well-informed gentleman, and he said:
Il know of Mr.. Larrabee's case from
having thoroughly investigated it as a
medical director of a Life Insurance COM
pany, and it is one of the most remarkable
cases l have ever met. Mr. Larrabee had
all the manifestations of a complication OF
diseases, an in their worst forms. He had
albumen and casts in the urine, and ter
ribly diseased liver and spleen. Indeed,
he was so bad that he threw himself upon
the floor, and with his head upon hassock.
