The representative of the press thanked Mr.
Larrabee 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.. Larrabeet
sickness and recovery. The scribe replied that
he v as, whereup0n the gentleman said:
"And 80 am l. and nave come all the way
from Chicago for thss very purpose. Kidney
troubles seem to be alarmingly increasing all
over the country, and have a very near Tela-
tive who is afflicted nnch as Mr.. Larrabee WAS.
have been to see the physicians of whom Mr.
Larrabee speaks, and tell you, sir, IL is aim
ply wonderful"
"What did they sayg' asked the man ofnews.
Say why, sir, they fully confirm everything
Mr.. Larrabee has stated. l went to see DR.. d.
A. johnson, at 20 Worcester street. He was

why for weeks and weeks every time that
bell rang said; That means the death OF Mr..
| Larrabee. No ono around the hotel ever
dreamed that he would recover, and when the
doctors would come down from his room they
would shake their heads and say there was no

| Mr.. Larrabee's case WAS very 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 but
he was prepared for it. The doctor said the
| recovery WAS due to Warmers Safe Kidney and
| Liver Cure, and IL he had friends male or
female, troubled with Albumen or any kidney

use this remedy. DR.. johnson eaid kidney
difficulties are more common than most people
think, and that many symptoms which are

kidneys. He said that ladies after CESSATION
are specially subject to albuminous troubles
which require prompt attention.

Ingersoll Bowditch on Boylston street. The
old doctor was inclined to be reticent, but fully
