DURING a brief visit to the ancient town OF
Warwick, r. l., recently, our agent extended his
trip to the southeastern extremity of the town,
to lock about among the wonderful improvements
which have been made in the appearance Of War
wick Neck during a comparatively brief period,
and while corversing ON this subject with Col
BEN AMIN 5. HAZARD, the popular proprietor OF
the Warwick Neck Hotel, he learned that the
greater part of the handsome summer residences
had been erected inside of a dozen years; and he
also learned that Col. Hazard mad been a great
sufferer from q chronic disease of the Kidneys
and Bladder over fifteen years, the most painful
form of it being a stoppage or retention of the
urine, which was SO very severe at times as to
disable him for his accustomed work, and even
con fine him TO the bed, when a surgeons assist
anee would be required to relieve him. He was
being doct0red a large part of the time, but could
get no permanent relief At times his sufferings
were terrible from sharp, cutting pains through
the Kidneys and Bladder; ana he had suffered so
long and so severely that he had become discour-
aged Of getting well again. especially as the doc
tor stated that 1t was doubtful if a man Of his age
with such a complicated disease of long standing
could be cured. But last summer, when he was
suffering intensely from one of these attacks. a
gentleman who was boarding at his hotel urged
and persuaded him to try a bottle of Hunts Rem.
edy, as he had known Of some wonderful cures ef.
fected by IT..
Mr.. Hazard says he had no faith in IL. but con.
sented reluctantly to try II; and after taking 1t
only two days the intense pains and aches had
disappeared, and he commenced to gain streng IN
rapidly, and in less than q week was attending to
his accustomed work, and has never had a return
of the pains. Mr.. Hazard is over seventy years
Of age, and on the 25th Of Nov, 1882, when our
agent met him, although 1t was a yer cold and
clustering day, he was in the field with his team
at work pulling and loading turnips, as hale and
hearty a man as you could wish fer, whereas last
August he was unable to stand up to oversee the
work then going on In this same field.
HUST's REMEDY had given him health and
strength again, and he recommends 1t to his rela-
tives and friends. several Of whom are now taking
1t, as he considers 1t a most excellent medicine
for all diseases Of the Kidneys or Bladder.
