The readers of this paper were more
or less amazed at most remarkable
statement from one of our leading cit
liens which appeared ia yesterdays is
sue. So unusual were the circum-
stances connected with it, and so much
comment did it occasion on the street
and in social circles, that representa-
tive of this paper was commissioned TO
investigate it's details and verify its
facts. The article referred to was
statement made by Mr.. B. f. Larrabe
of the New York and Boston Dispatch
Express Company, whose office is
on Arch street. Mr.. Larrabee was
found by the newspaper man in his
private Office, and on being questioned,
said;
"Well, sir, logically have been dead.
but really am as you can see me. A
little over year ago l was taken sick.
My trouble was not severe at first and
| thought it was the result of slight
cold. Somehow l felt unaccountably
tired at times, although / took an
abundance of sleep. Then, again, /
had dull and strange pains in various
parts of my body. My appetite was
good one day and had none whatever
the next, and my head panied me more
or less much of the time. A Will
afterward noticed much that was pc
culiar about the fluids was passing,
and that sediment, scum and strange
accumulation appeared in it. Still l
did not realize that these things meant
anything serious, and allowed the ILL
ness to run along until on the 18th day
of October l fell PROSTATE while walk
ing along fremont street. l was car
ried home and did not go out of the
house until the middle OF December. l
then went down town and attempted to
attend TO my business until the 18th of
last January, when L was taken with a
very severe relapse. My symptoms
were terrible. L was fearfully bloated;
l suffered severe pains in all parts of
my body, and it was almost impossible
to get my breath. For six days never
laid down and never slept. was con-
stantly attended by my regular physi-
clan, Doctor johnson, and DR.. Bow
ditch also came to see me nearly every
day. There was no doubt that l was
suffering from Bright's disease OF the
kidneys in its worst form and last
stages, accompanied by other troubles
in my liver and heart. In spite, how
ever, 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 l soon became as bad as before.
Then the doctor gave me up entirely,
declared could not live more than "a
hours, and my daughter, who was re-
siding in Paris, was telegraphed for.

far more dead than alive, but never
giving up hope. One night-it was the

my attendant, who was reading the
paper to me, began an article which de-
scribed my disease and sufferings exact

Brights 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 | sent my
man to the drug store, procured bot

physicians and friends, and took the
first dose at ten o'clock. AT that time
/ was suffering intensely. L could not
sleep; l had the short breaths, and
could scarcely get any air into my
lungs. L was terribly bloated from
head to foot, and the motion of my
heart was irregular and painful. The
next morning L was able to breathe

the bloating decreased. continued to
