While suffering thus I received can
nom my pastor, the Rev. DR.. Foote, rector
OF st. Paul's Church, Of this city. felt
that it was our last interview, but In the
course OF conversation he mentioned rem
edy 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. A prac-
ticing physician and graduate 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 bene-

my prejudice and try the remedy he SO high
ly recommended. / began its use ON the
first day of June and took Il according to
directions. At first it sickensd me; but

investigated the subject of kidney difficult
ties and Brights disease, and the truths
developed are astounding. / therefore
state, deliberately, and as q physician, that
l 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 pre-
pared to fully verify it. Bright's disease
has no distinctive SYMPTOMS of its own, lin
DECD, 1t 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 authorised. by .
physicians certificates Of Heart Disease"
" Appoplexy,"" Paralysi !" Spinal Conn
plaint," Rheumatism,n Pneumonia, -
and other common diseases, when In reality
1t was Bright's Disease of the kidneys.
Few physicians, and fewer people, realize
the extent Of this disease or its dangerous
and insidious nature. Il steals INTO the
system like thief. manifests it's presence
by the commonest symptoms, and fastens
itself upon the constitution before the VIC
tim is aware. 1t is nearly as hereditary a.
consumption, quite as common and fully a.
fatal. Entire families, inheriting 1t from
their ancestors, have died, and yet mono 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
rs such Is usually supposed to be heart dis
ease. As one who has suffered, and knows
by bitter experience what be says, Inn
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 .
practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the
surprise and possible luminosity Of the
medical profession and a.tonish all with
whom am acquainted, but make the
foregoing statements, based upon facts
which am prepared to produce, and truths
which / can substantiate to the letter. The
welfare of those who may possibly Be suf-
ferers such as was, Is an ample inducement
for me to take tho step have, and IL
can successfully warn others from the
dangerous path In which once walked,
am willing to endure all professional and
personal consequences.
