, SIR-My motives for the publication of the
most Unusual statements which follow are,
, first, gratitude for the fact that have been
saved from a most horrible DEATH ana, sec
Ondly, desire to warn all who read this
; statement against some of the most decep-
/ tive influences by which they have ever been
surrounded. II is a fact that to-day thous-
ands of people are within foot of the grave
and they do not know it. To tell how l was
caught away from Just this position, and 10
warn Others against nearing it, are my OBJ
jects in this communication.
On the first day of June, 1881, / lay at my
residence in this city surrounded by my
friends and waiting for death. Heaven only
knows the agony then endured, for words
can never describe it. And yet if few
years previous, any one had told me that
was to be brought so low, and by so terrible
| a disease, / should have scOffed at the idea.
| had always been uncommOnly strong and
healthy, had weighed over go pounds and
! hardly knew, in my own experience, what
pain or sickness were. Very many people
/ who will read this statement realize at times
/ that they are unusually tired and cannot
account for it. They feel dull and indefinite
pains IN various paris of the body, and do
not understand it. Or they are exceedingly

the next. This was just the way | felt when
the relentless malady which had fastened
| itself upon me first began. Still l thought
it was nothing; that probably had taken
cold which would soon pass away. Shortly
after this l noticed heavy. aud at times a
neuralgia pain in my head, but as it would |
come one day and be gone the next paid |
but little attention 10 it. However, my |
stomach was out of order and my food often /
failed to digest, causing at times great in
convenience. Yet / had no idea, even as a |
physician, that these things meant anything |
serious, or that mOnstrOus disease was be-
coming fixed upon me. Candidly. / thought |
l was suffering from ma aria and so dOctJred
myself accordingly. But | got no better. l
next noticed a peculiar color and Odor about
the fluids was passing-aso that there were
large quantities one day and very little the
next, and that q persis ent frOth and scum
appeared upon the surface, and a sediment
settled in the bottom. And yet l did not
realize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these
symptoms continually, / finally became ac-
custOmed to them, and my suspicion was
wholly disarmed by the fact that had no
pain In the affected organs or i'll their vicin-
ity. Why l should have been so blind ]
cannot understand.
There is a terrible future for all physical
neglect, and impending danger always brings !
a person to his senses. even though il may !
then be too late. l realized at last my criti- |
cal condition and aroused myself to overcome !
it. And, OH how hard | tried l consulted
the best medical skill in the land. / visited
all the prominent mineral springs in America I
and travelled from Maine to California. Still
| grew worse. No two physicians agreed as
10 my malady. One said was troubled with
spinal irritation; another nervous prostra-
ton; another, malaria; another. dyspepsia;
another. heart disease: another, general de-
bility; another, congestion of the base of the
brain; and so on through a long list of com
mon diseases, the symptoms of all of which '
really had. In this way several years passed. I
Turing all of which time was steadily grow
ng worse, My condition had really become !,
)ltlable. The slight symptoms l at first b
experienced were developed into terrible and il
constant disorders-tEe little twigs of pain n

While suffering thus I received call from eli
ny pastor, the kev. DIR. Eoote. rector of ST of
ar last interview, but in the course of con
ersaton he mentioned a remedy of which g
ld heard much, but had never used. Dr. %
