long list of common diseases, the symp-
toms of all OF which l really had. In this
way several years years passed ). during all
of which time Twas steadily growing
worse. Ny condition had really become
pitiabIe. The slight symptoms I at first
experienced were developed into terrible
and constant disorders-the little twigs OF
pain had grown to oaks of agony. My
weight had been reduced from POI to 100
pounds. life was atorture to myself
and friends. could retain no food upon
my stomach, and lived wholly by inJec-

pulse was uncomfortable. In my agony
frequently fell upon the floor, convulsive-
ly clutched the carpet, and prayed for
death. Morphine had little or no effect in
deadening the pain For six days and
nights had the death-premonitory hic-
coughs constantly. My urine was filed
with tube casts and albumen. | was

the many remarkable cures which had
como under his observation by means OF
this remedy. and urged me to try it. AS
practicing physician and graduate of the
schools, I cherished the prejudice both
natural and common with all regular prac-
titioners, and derided the idea of any med
icine outside the regular channels being
the least beneficial. So soicitous, hoWev-
or, was DR.. Foote, that / finally promised
l would waive my prejudice and try the
remedy he so highly recommended. be-

[ believe MORE THAN ONE-HALF THE
DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE
CAUSED BY BRIGHT's DISEASE OF THE
KIDNEYS. This may sound like rash
statement, but am prepared to fully YER
ify it.. Brigbt's Disease has no distinc-
tive symptoms Of It's own, indeed, it often
develops without any pain whatever in
the kidneys or their vicinity, ) but has che
complaint. Hundreds of people die daily,
whose lburiaIs are authorized by physi-
clans certificate of ''Heart Disease" ZAP

and other common complaints, when in
reality it was Bright's Disease Of the Kid

and fully as fatal. Entire families, inner

who reads these words not to neglect the
slightest symptoms of kidney difficulty
| Certain agony and possible death will be

can afford to hazard such chances.
I am aware that such an unqualified
statement as this, coming from me, known
as I am throughout the entire land as a
practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the
surprise and possible amino sity of the
medical profession and astonish all with
whom | sam acquainted, but make the
foregoing statements based upon facts
which am prepared to produce and truths
which [ can substantiate to the letter.
The welfare of those who may possi bly, be
sufferers such as 1 was, is an ample in
ducement for me to take the step have,
and if can successfully warn others from
the dangerous path in which once walk
ed, l am willing to endure all professional
and personal consequences. a. 3s,3T'.. .
