disease of the kidneys in its worst form and
last stages. accompanied by other troubles
in my liver and heart In spite, however, OF
the skill of the physicians, | kept growing
worse and finally they tapped my side in the
vicinity of the heart, taking away forty-six
ounces of water This relieved me for the
time, but soon became as bad as before.
Then the doctor gave me up entirely. de

four hours and nv daughter, who WAS
residing in Paris, was telegrsphed for. Still

was reading the paper To me, began N.
article which described my disease and
sutferings evactly. 1t told how some severe
cases of Brght's disease had been cured,
and so clearly and sensibly did it state the
case that determined to try the means OF
cure which it described So I sent nv man
to the drug store. procured a bottle Of the
medicine, unknown to my physicians and
friends, and took the first dose at 10 o'clock

breathe freelv the pain began TO leave me-
and the bloating decreased | continued to
take the medicine, and to-day, sir, am as

owing TO the wonderful, almost miraculous
power of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. / do not know what this medicine j.
made Of or anything else about it. but know
il saved nv life when / was given up by the
doctors and had really been dead for weeks
that it has kept me in perfect health ever
since and has cured many Of my friends to
whom have recommended it, There are
number of very remarkable cases in Lynr
and Salem. as well as in this city, that it has
cured. My recovery is so remarkable that il
has excited much attention, and physicians
as well as others have investigated it thor

the results Of such a wonderful cure should
be known to the thousands in all parts OF the
land who are suffering from troubles of tn,
kidneys, liver or heart, in some of their many
dangerous forms.
