sicians, each one of whom took q
different view as to the cause of my
troubles. One said 1 was suffering
from brain disease; another spinal
difficulty; others heart affection,
kidney disease; etc. My symptoms
were terrible; and in the hope of re-
lief was cauteri7ed, curped, blister
ed and subjected to almost every
known form of treatment. During
one of these attacks, while at Red
Bank, n. j., physician was called,
and left prescription. After he had
gone, I requested friend to go and
ask him what he Thought Of my
trouble. The reply was: "Oh, he
will be all right in few days, it is
only an attack of delirium tremens."
He was at once informed that this
was impossible, as had never used
any kind of Intoxicating drinks;
whereupon he returned, made inquir.
ies, and changed his prescription.
But all the care of my friends and
physicians availed nothing. I grew
worse constantly, and what is most
terrible to think Of, I did not know
what allied me, nor could I find any
one who did. .
During the summer and fall OF last
year my pulse ranged from 100 to
ls0 per minute; had no relish for
food, and was indeed a most pitiable
| object: I continued in this state
until last December, when l become
unconscious and lost my reason,
though I had two physicians In
whom myself and friends placed i'm
plicit confidence. In this condition I
was taken to Brattleboro, Vt. for
the purpose of being placed in the
insane asylum. I remained there TN
til last March, being attended all the
while by my faithful wife who never
left me and believed that some dis
ease and not insanity was the cause
of all my trouble. I regained con-
seriousness in March last and insisted
upon being taken home. The ply
sicians advised that remain, but T
insisted upon leaving, and we began
the journey, travelling slowly. was
met at the dock by friend whom I
recognized and then I became again
unconscious and remained so for over
a week. When l once more recog-
nized my friend and knew my sur
roundings I determined to try, as .
last resort, treatment of which I
had heard much but knew nothing.
| Neither myself nor friends had much
faith that it or anything could help
me, but we resolved to try. We ac--
cordinsly dismissed the physicians,
gave up all other remedies, and I re.
joice to say that with the blessing Of
Him, who guided us, am to-day
well man; have not beer so vigorous
for many years, and l owe it to the
wonderful power of Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy
which I used.
You can well imagine how CRATE
full must !eel under the circumstan-
ces and. like new convert, I ear.
nestiy desire that all who are suffer-
ing should know and avail themselves
of this means of recovery. Had it
not been for the remedy above named
I should doubtless now be within the
walls of an asylum or in my grave.
The great trouble with my case was
that no one seemed to know what I
was afflicted with and / am positive
that thousands..o of people in America
to-day are in the same or q similar
condition and do not know its cause.
Kidney troubles are the most decep-
tive of all diseases. They have no
symptoms of their own, but often
show the symptoms OF nearly every
known complaint. I know that peo-
pie are dying every day from sup
posed consumption, appoplexy, heart
disease, spinal complaint and many
other diseases, when could the real
cause be known, it would be found
to originate in the kidneys. In their
advanced stages they are the most
terrible of all known maladies, as my
own experience can fully verify.
That I had Brigbt's disease of the
kidneys there can be no doubt. That
the symptoms were those Of many
other diseases is equally certain, and
that was doomed to terrible death
had not been saved as / was, I ann
positive. In view therefore Of these
facts and with hope that all who
read this may take timely warning,
I make this open statement freely
and for the good Of my fellow
mens Sincerely,
| REV. E. D. HoPKlNs.
