 A Remarkable Statement.
 The Unusual Experience of q Prominent Man Made Public.
 The following article from the Den0crat and Chronicle, of Rochester, N Y., is of so striking nature, and emanates from so reli- able source that it is herewith re-published entire. In addition to the valuable matter it contains it will be found exceedingly in- teresting.
 To tAe Editor of d1e Democrat and Chronicle:
 Sir My motives for the publication of the most unusual statements which follow are, first, gratitude for the fact that l have been saved from most horrible death, and, secondly, desire to warn all who read this statement against some of the most deceptive influences by which they have ever been sur rounded. It is & fact that to-day thousands of people are within foot of the grave and they do not know it. To tell how was caught away from just this position and to warn others against nearing 1t, are my ob- iects in this communication.
 On the first day of June, 1881, I lay at my residence in this city surrounded by my friends and waiting for death. Heaven only knows the agony then endured, for words can never describe it. And yet, if few years previous, any one had told me that l was to be brought so low, and by so terrible 8 disease, should have scoffed at the idea. had always been uncommonly strong and healthy, had weighed over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize at times l that they are unusually tired and cannot &C., count for it. They feel dull and indefinite pains in various parts of the body and do not | understand it. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appe- l when the relentless malady which had fas- | tened itself upon me first began. Still | thought it was nothing that probably had 1 taken cold which would soon pass away. | Shortly after this I noticed @ dull, and at | times neuralgia, pain in my head, but as it would come one day and be gone the next, l 1 paid but little attention to it. However, my stomach was out of order and my food often failed to digest, causing at times great incon- venience. Yet had no idea, even as physi- | elan, sthat these things meant anything seri- ous or that monstrous disease was becom- | ing fixed upon me. Candidly, 1 thought was suffering from Malaria and so doctored | myself accordingly. But got no better. l next noticed peculiar color and odor about the fluids was passing-also that there wefe l large quantities one day and very little the | next, and that persistent froth and scum appeared upon the surface and sediment ! settled in the bottom. And yet I did not realize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually finally became accus- l toned to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that I had no pain Ill l the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why l I should have been so blind I cannot under stand
 1 There is a terrible future for all physical neglect and impending danger usually brings ! person to his senses even though 1t may then be too late. I realized, at last, my | critical condition and aroused myself to over come it. And, Oh how hard I tried I con- suited the best medical skill in the land. I visited all the prominent mineral springs ip | America and travelled from Maine to Califor- 1 mia. Still grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said l was trou | bled with spinal irritation another, nervous prostration another malaria; another, l dyspepsia another, heart disease; another, general debility another, congestion of the l base of the brain and so on through long | list of common diseases, the symptoms of all of which I really had. In this way several
 years passed, during all of which time was steadily growing worse. My condition had ! really become pitiable. The slight symp- l toms I at first experienced were developed into terrible and constant disorders little
 twigs of pain had grown to oaks of agony l My weight had been reduced from 207 to 13O l pounds. My life was torture to myself and 1 friends. I could retain no food upon my
 stomach, and lived wholly by injections. l
 was 8 living mass of pain. My pulse was
 uncomfortable. In my agony frequently 1 fell upon the floor, convulsively clutched the
 carpet and prayed for death Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain
 For six days and nights I had the death pre- monitory hiccoughs constantly. My urine was filled with tube cast and albumen. was struggling with Bright's Disease of the Kid neys in its last stages.
 l While suffering thus I received call from
 my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, rector of St. Pauls church, of this city. felt that it was our last interview, but in the course of con-
 versation he mentioned remedy of which 1 I had heard much but had never used. Dr. l 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 grad l uate of the schools, I cherished the preiu-
 
 lar practitioners, and derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels being l the least beneficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr. Foote, that I finally promised I
 would waive my prejudice and try the reme- 1 dy he so highly recommended. I began it's use on the first day of June and took it &C., 1 cording to directions. At first it sickened
 ue but this I thought was @ good sign for one in my debilitated condition. Icontinued 1 to take it; the sickening sensation departed and was able to retain food upon my l stomach. In @ few days I noticed decided ] change for the better, as also did my wife and I friends My hiccoughs ceased and I expert l enced less pain than formerly. l was so re- ] joiced at this improved condition that upon l what believed but few days before was I my dying bed, vowed, in the presence of my family and friends. should I recover I ! would both publicly and privately make known | this remedy for the good of humanity, wher I ever and whenever I had an opportunity. I also determined that I would give course of lectures in the Corinthian Academy of ] Music of this city, stating in full the symp- 1 toms and almost hopelessness of my disease and the remarkable means by which have been saved. My improvement was constant l from that time and in less than three months I had gained PC pounds in flesh, became en- tirely free from pain and believe I owe my 1 life and present condition wholly to Warner's l Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy which used.
 Since my recovery have thoroughly re- investigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright's disease, and the truths devel- oped are astounding I therefore state, de- liberately, and as physician, that I believe MORE THAN ONE HALF THE DEATHS WHICH oC- CUR IN AMERICA ARE CAUSED BY BRIGHTs DIs- EASE OF THE KIDNEYS. This may sound like rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bright's Disease has no distinctive symptoms of it's own, (indaed, it often devel- ops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity,) but has the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint Hun dreds of people die daily, whose burials are authorized by physician's certificate of 'Heart Disease, "s" "Apoplexy," Paralysis" Spinal Complaint, Rheumatism, " "Pneu- monia," /" and other common complaints, when in reality it was Brights Disease of the Kid neys. Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the extent of this disease or it's dan gerous and insidious nature. It steals into the system like thief, manifests it's pre- sence by the commonest symptoms, and fast ems itself upon the constitution before the victim is aware It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common and fully as fatal Entire families, inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none of the number knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing them.
