While suffering thus I received
call from my pastor, the Rev. DR..
Foote, rector Of st. PauIs church, of
this city. l felt that it was our last
interview, bat in the course of con-
yersation he mentioned remedy Of
which l had heard much but had
never used DIR. Foote detailed to me
the many remarkable cures which
had come under his observation, by
means of this remedy, and urged me
to try it. As practicing physician

the subject OF kidney

therefore state, deliberately, and as
| physician, that believe more than
the deaths which occur in
America are caused by Bright's dis
Ease of the kidneys. This may sound
ike "a rash statement, but l am pre-
pared to fully verify it. Bright's dis
Ease has no distinctive symptoms of
is own, Gndeed, it often develops
any pain wha ever in the
Kidneys or their vicinity, but has the
of neary every other known
complaint. Hundreds of people die

. physicians certificate of heart

,aSe, when in reality it was Bright's
disease of the kidneys. Few physi- |.
;lans, and fewer people, realise
he extent of this diseaes or its
dangerous and insidious nature.
It steals into the system
ike thief, manifests its presence by
he commOneSt symptoms, and fast
ms itself upon t re constitution before
ne victim is aware. 1t is nearly as
as consumption, quite as
common and fully as fatal. Entire
families, inheriting it from their an
,estors, have died. and yet none of the
number knew or realized the mys-
.eriouS power which was moving
hem. Instead of common symptoms
t often shows none whatever, but |
brings death suddenly, and as such is
Usually supposed to be heart disease.
As one who has suffered, and knows |
~ bitter experience what he says, l |
mplore every one who reads these |
words not to neglect the slightest |
of kidney difficulty. Ger
ain agony and possible death will be
he sure result of such neglect, and
40 one can afford to hazard such
chances.
l am aware that such an unquali-
led statement as this, coming from
ne, known as I am, throughout the
antire land as a practitioner and lee
;urer, will arouse the surprise and
possible animosity of the medical pro-
tession and astonish all with whom l |
nm acquainted, but l make the fore

which 1 am prepared to produce, and
