course OF conversation he mentioned a rem

never used. DR.. Foote detailed to me the
many remarkable cures which had come
unoer MS observation by means of this
remedy, and urged me to try it. AS prac-
qcing physician and graduate of the schools

common with all regular practitioners, and

my prejudice andtry the remedy he so high

hrs1 day of June and took it according to
1lreGtions. At first it sickened me; but
this l thought was good sign for me in
my debilitated condition. / continued to

since my recovery have thoroughly re-
investigated the subject of kidney Difficult
ties ano Bright's disease, and the truths
developed are astounding. l therefore
state, deliberately, and as physician, that
L believe more than one-half the deaths
which occlr in America are caused by
Bright's diease of the kidneys. This may
sound like rash statement, but l am pre-
pared to fully verify it. Bright's disease
has no distinctive SYMPTOMS of its own, lin
deed, it often develops without any pain
whatever in he kidneys or their vicinity,
but has the symptoms of nearly every other
known complaint. Hundreds of people die
daily, whose purials are authorized by a
physicians certificate of " Heart-Disease,"
"Appoplexy,"" Paralysis" "Spinal Com
plaint," Rheumatism" Pneumonia"
and other common diseases, when in reality
it was Bright's Disease of the kidneys
Few physicians, and fewer people, realize
the extent of this disease or its dangerous
and insidious nature. 1t steals into the
system like thief, manifests its presence
by the commonest symptoms, and fastens
itself upon the constitution before the vic
tim is aware. 1t is nearly as hereditary as
consumption, quite as common and fully as
fatal. Entire families, inheriting it from
their ancestors, have died, and yet none of
the number knew or realized the mysterious
power which was removing them. Instead
of common symptoms it often shows none
whatever, but brings death suddenly, and
as such is usually supposed to be heart dis
ease. As one who has suffered, and knows
by bitter experience what he SAYS, | i'm
plore every one who reads these words not
to neglect the slightest symptom of kidney
difficulty. Certain agony and possible
death will be the sure result of such neg
lect, and no one can afford to hazard such
chances.
am aware that such an unqualified
statement as this, coming from me, known
as | am, throughout the entire land as q
practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the
surprise and possible animosity of the
medical profession and astonish an with
whom l am acquainted, but l make the
foregoing statements, based upon facts
which am prepared to produce, and truths
which l can substantiate to the letter. The
welfare of those who may possibly be suf-
farers ~'aSh az 1 ~~as is an ample Involvement

can successfully warn others from the
| dangerous path in which l once walked, ]
| am willing to endure all professional and
| personal consequences.
