The following remarkable state

ways believed most firmly in the
brotherhood of men, and that every
human being is in duty bound TO
assist his fellow man to the fullest
extent of his power. The relation,
therefore, of my personal experience
will, trust, prove OF benefit to
| ma ny thousands in this land.
NY earlier years were full OF
health and pleasure. After the
completion of my educational stud

teaching, and under the severe
strain to which | was subjected /

the least exposure or excitement
would bring on sick headache, bill

prepare for the ministry, and al
| though | studied hard my health
seemed to grow no worse. Finally
/ commenced preaching, and then
nv old physical troubles returned.
The slightest amount Of certain
kinds of food distressed me and
brought on heavy dgllpess, dizzi-
ness and often great depression of
mind. A change of room, atmos-
phere or clothing was almost certain
to cause cold, accompanied by
most painful suffering. / attribu-

while little excitement caused me
to lose my appetite entirely. AT
times my spirits would be light and
I would feel as If / might live to a

than an hour my head would reel,
my body ache and would be over

ter such an attack cold sweat
would break out upon me and this
would be followed by complete
prostration. 1t would be impossi-

1t was more than year from the
time the attacks first began that 1
consulted a physician. He eXam-

were affected and that l was on the
road to consumption. derided
this idea and so called upon anoth-
er doeter. But he told me the
same thing, as did also the other
medical men whom consulted.
Indeed, they all informed me that
unless / went to Colorado, Dakota
or the sea coast there was little hope.
However, did not change climate,
but tried to continue my work as
best | could, A year ago last May
and in the November and Deem.

attacks of what the doctors said was
lung fever or pneumonia. / recov-

most difficult and it frequently
seemed that with all my eXertions
| could not get enough air Into my
lungs to satisfy them or keep my
blood pure. AS l am large in stat

being in the prime of my usefulness,
you can imagine how l shrunk |
from the inevitable fate which |
seemed to stare me in the face.

but shook my head sadly, for 1 felt
that there was little hope for me.
after | returned home l
began to reflect upon the subject,
and finally sent my son to procure
some of the medicine which had
been so highly recommended. If
aith were an element necessary to

was really hopeless. Greatly to my
surprise, however, began to feel
much better. and the following
Sunday / was able to preach with
ease. | continued to

1t is only natural that since my
ecovery l should feel enthusiastic ,

he conclusion that very much ]
ickness which is supposed to orig
nate in the lungs, arises wholly
rom disordered kidneys and liver. {
believe thousands of people are
to-day and looking for

hat l employed. Believing these
ruths and realizing their import

openly, and say that / believe, I'M
