While suffering thusI received a call
from my pastor, the Rev. DR.. Foote, rector
of st. Paul's church of this city. felt
that it was our last interview, but in the
course of our conversation he mentioned
remedy of which had heard much but
had never used. DR.. Foote detailed to me
the many remarkable cures which had
come under his observation, by means of
this remedy, and urged me to try it. AS
practicing physician and a graduate Of the
schools, | cherished the prejudice both
natural and common with all regular prac-
TONERS, and decided the idea of any medi-
cine outside the regular channels being the
least beneficial. So solicitious, however
was DIR, Foote, that finally promised I
would wave my prejudice and try the rem
edy he so hugely recommend. l began its
use on the the first day of June and took
it according to directions. At first it sick

Since my recovery I have thoroughly re-
investigated the subject of kidney difficult |
ties and Bright's disease, and the truths
developed are astounding. I therefore
state, deliberately, and as physician, that
/ believe more than one half of the deaths |
which occur in America are caused by |
Bright's disease of the kidneys. This may
sound like n rash statement, but l am pre- |
pared fully to very it. Bright's Disease
has no distinctive symptoms of its own
Gndeed, it often develops without any
pain whatever in the kidneys or their
vicinity but has the symptoms of nearly
every other known complaint. Hundreds
of people die daily, whose burials are
authorised by a physicians certificate of
Heart Disease, "''Apoplexy, Paralysis"
Spinal Complaint, "Rheumatis, F." 'Pneu-
mania, and other common complaints,
when in reality it was Brights Disease of
he kidneys. Few physicians, and fewer
people, realize the extent of this disease |
md its dangerous and insidious nature.
It steals into the system like a thief, man
tests its presence by the commonest
and fastens itself upon the
constitution before the victim is aware.
It is nearly as hereditary as consumption,
quite as common and fully as fatal. En-
ire families inheriting it from their an
.estors, have died, and yet none of
he number knew or realized the
Mysterious power which was
emoving them. Instead of common symp-
oms ii often shows none whatever, but
