S1R-M5 motives for the publication OF the
most Unusual state nents which follow are,
6Is', graft ude for the fact that | have been
saved from most horrible dea II, ft ', sec

statement against some OF the most decep-
tive influences by which they have ever been
surrounded. 1t is fact that to-day thous-
ands of people are within a foot of the grave
and they do not know it. To toll how L was
caught away from just this position, and TO
warn Others against nearing 1T, are my OBJ
jects in this co nmunication
On the first day of June, 1851, lay at my
residence in this city surrounded by my
friends and waiting for death. Helven only
knows the agony then endured. for words
can never describe It, And yet, If few
years previous, any cns had tod me that L
was to be brought so low, and by so terrible
disease, should have scoffe1 at the idea.
| had always been ungommonly strong dnd
healthy, had weiglel over 20 pounds and
hardly knew. in my own experiences what
pain or sickness were. Very many people
who will read this statement realize, DIT times
that they are unusually tired and cannot
account for if. They feel dull and indefinite
pains in various pi tts Of the body, and do
not un6e stand it. Or tLey are exceedingly
hungry one day and entirely without appetite
the next. This was just the way felt when
tho relentless malady which had fastened
itself upon me first began. Still | thought
it was nothing; that probably had taken
cold which would soon pass away. Shortly
after this / noticed a heavy. ard at times
re1ralgic pain in my head, but as it would
come ore day and be gone tEe next, paid
but little attention to 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
physician, that these things meant anything
serious, OF that monstrouS disease was be-
coming fixed Upon tf1e Candidly, / thought
was suffering from ma aria andso doctored
myself accordingly. But got no better. |
next noticed peculiar color and oder about
the fluids / was passing-also that there were
large quantities one day and very little the
next, and that persistent frOth and scum
appeared upon the surface, and sediment
settled in the bottom. And yet did not
realize my danger, for. indeed, seeing these
symptoms continually, | finally became &C
customed to them, and my suspicion was
wholly disarmed by the fact that / had no
pain in the affected organs or in their vicin-
ity. Why [ should have been so blind /
cannot understand.
There is a terrible future for all physical
neglect and impending danger always brings
person to his senses, even though 1t may
then be too late. l realized at last my criti-
cal condition and aroused myself to overcome
it. And, oh! how hard l tried. l consulted
the best medical skill in the land. visited
all the prominent mineral springs in America,
and travelled from Maine to California. Still
| grew worse. No two physicians agreed as
10 my maady. One said Twas 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 long list of COM
mon diseases, the symptoms of all of which
really had. In this way several years passed,
during all of which time was steadily grow
ing worse. My condition had really become
pitlable. The slight symptoms l at first
experienced were developed into terrible and
constant disorders-the little twigs of pain
had grown to oaks of agony. My weight had
been educed from 207 to 100 pounds. My
life was torture to myself and friends. /
could retain no food upon my stomach. and
lived wholly by injections. l was living
mass of pain. My pulse was uncomfortable.
In my agony frequently fell upon the floor,
convulsively clutched the carpet, and prayed
for death. Morphine had little or no effect
in deadening the pain. For six days and
nights I had the death premonitory hiccoughs
constantly. My urine was filled with tube
casts and albumen. was struggling with
Bright's Disease of the kidneys in its last
stages.
While suffering thus I received call from
my pastor, the Rev. DR.. Foote, rector of st.
Fauls church, of this city. felt that it was
our last interview, but in the course of con-
versation he mentioned remedy of which
had heard much, but had never used. DR..
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 and grad
uate of the schools, cherished the prejudice
both natural and common with all regular
practitioners, and derided the idea of any
medicine outside the regular channels being
the least beneficial. So solicitious, however,
was DR.. Foote that finally promised would
waive my prejudice and try the remedy he so
highly recommended. l began its use on the
first day of June, and took it according to
directions. At first it sickened me; but this
l thought was good sign for me in my de-
bilitated condition. | continued to take it;
tie sickening sensation departed and | was
able to retain fcO1 upon my stomach. In
few days noticed decided change for the
better, as also did my wife and friends. My
hiccoughs ceased and Experienced less pain
than formerly. was so rejoiced at this i'm
proved condition that, upon what | had be-
heved but a few days before was my dying
bed, vowed, in the presence of my family
and friends, should l recover ! would both
publicly and privately make known this
remedy for the good of humanity, wherever
and whenever / had an opportunity. | also
determined that [ would give course of
lectures in the Corinthian Academy of Music,
in this city, stating in full the symptoms and
almost hopelessness of my disease and the
remarkable means by which l have been
saved. My improvement was constant from
that time, and in less than three months /
had gained twenty-six pounds in flesh, be-
came entirely free from pain, and believe
owe my life and present condition wholly to
WaIner's Safe Cure, the remedy which used.
Since my recovery have thoroughly reinves-
tigated the subject of kidney difficulties and
Bright's disease, and the truths developed are
astounding. | therefore state deliberately,
and as physician. that | believe more than
one-half the deaths which occur in America
are caused by Bright's disease of the kidneys.
This may sound like rash statement, but
am prepared to fully verify it. Bright's dis
ease has no distinctive symptoms of its own
(indeed, it often develops without any pain
whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity,
but has the symptoms of nearly every other
known complaint. Hundreds of people die
daily, whose burials are authorized by
physicians certificate of "Heart Disease"
"Apoplexy," Paralysis" "Spinal Com
plaint," rheumatism" Pneumonia"
and other common diseases, when in reality
1t was Bright's disease of the kidneys. Few
physicians, and fewer people, realize the ex-
tent OF this disease or its dangerous aud in
sidious nature. 1t steals into the system like
monest symptoms, and fastens itself upon
the constitution hafnra tho victim ic o,I ro
