The representative of the press thanked Mr.
! Lauabee for his very frank and clear state
ment, and was about TO leave the Office when %
gentleman stepped up to him and inquired If
he were seeking information about Mr.. LARA
bees sickness and recovery. The scribe replied
that he was, whereupon the gentleman said
'And 80 am |, and have come all the way

over the country, and have q very near rela-
tive who il afflicted much AZ Mr.. Larrabee was.

DIR. ID. \. johnson, at 20 Worcester street He
was absent when l called, and 80 l stepped
into the Commonwealth Hotel, where Mr.. Lar
rabee was living at the time of bis sickness.
MessIs. Brugh d Garter are proprietors, and
asked them about MIR. Larrabec'5 case. Mr..
Brugh pointed to the electric annunCiator and
said. Why for weeks and weeks, every time
that bell rang said That means the death OF
Mr. Larrabee. No one around the hotel ever
dreamed that he would recover, and when the
doctors would come down from bis room they
would shake thor 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 avery remarkable one.
He was his family physician and expected his
death every hour for number Of weeks, and
never called to see him during that time bat he
was prepared for it. The doctor said the re-

male troubled with albumen or any kidney
troubles he should certainly advise them to use

ties are moro 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 albuminous troubles, which require
prompt attention.
"Well, then came down and called on DR.. III.
