Messrs. Editors:
seldom appear publicly in print, but the
facts connected with my experience which
follow Rrs so striking, and bear so closely
upon the experience of others, that venture
TO reproduce them entire:
In the month of September, 1879, Twas
prac.icing medicine in New Orleans. The
summer had been excessively hot and every
body was complaining of being exhausted
and feeling tired. 1t was not an unfrequent
Occurrences to have patients ask for some
thing to relieve this weary sensation, and
that should also partake Of the same uni
yersal lassitude or weakness, did not alarm
me-. Isupposed that oyeTwork and exposure
had produced temporary physical pros.ra-
.tion therefore ] made trip to st. Paul,
Mimi, thinking that rest of few weeks in
a cooler climate would soon reinyigorate me.
Little did dream, however, what was In
store for me. After getting settled in my
new quarters took a short walk every day,
and patiently awaited a return of strength,
but In spite of all my efforts | seemed to be
losing strength; and even any slight ex-
erciss beclme laborious and tiresome.
During this time I had frequent dull aching
pains IN my head, and through my back and
hips, occasional shooting pains In various
parts of the body. with soreness, ShOrtneSs
of breath, and palpitation of the heart. My
feet and hands would be like ice one day, and
burn with the heat the next. Ihad no desire
for food and what | did eat distressed me
my sleep became disturbed with the frequent
desire to urinate. The quantity of fluid
passed would at one time be smal and at
another quite profuse. Then for days ]
would be perfectly free from this desire and
nothing seemed to be the matter; never
theless my debility gradually increased. M)
eyelids were pulled out; my bowels wers
alternately torpid and too active, the urine
would be clear some days, on others it would
be of high color and deposit brick-dusl
sediment, and at still others there would be
a whitish appearance and a thin greasy
scum would rise to the top. The pains in my
head, back, chest, joints, bowels and bones
were horrible i'll the extreme. went in
vain from psNce to place and consulted the
best medical authorities the country affords
i would have chill one day and burning
fever the next. / suffered excruciatinoiy
with numbhess of my feet and hands, and
at tho base of the brain and between my
shoulders; at times my limbs and body
would bloat and physicians said | was suffer-
ing from the dropsy and could not recover
How could be SO blind to the trrib.e trouble
that was devouring me, DO not know; but
there are thousands to-day who are suffering
from the same cause and are as ignorant of
its nature as l was. My skin was the color
of marble at one time, and then again it
would be like saffron, and this terrible rest
lcssness, and might say Hillness, was fol-
lowed by dull, heavy, drowsy sensation. I
was wasted to q mere skeleton except when
the dropsical bloat occurred. tried all the
celebrated mineral waters of this country
and Europe; all kinds of I icine and all
kinds of doctors. Still no help came lay
at my hotel i'll Philadelphia, where I was
temporarily solourning, given up to die by
friends and physicians alike, when there
proyidentially cIme into my hands a lttIs
pamphlet, which carefully read and from
which got view of my real condition,
which no other agency had revealed. Acting
on Its alvlce, l had my water anaIyzed nj
once, and to my surprise, albumen and tube
casts were found in large quantities. A skill
full physician was sent for and appriseI of
the fact. He said had Brights Disease,
and that death was certain. My friends i'm
portuned me to take a remedy which had
won great reputation for the cure of all
forms of kidney diseases, and | therefore
lald aside my prejudice and commenced its
nSe. At hrst my stomach rejected it and
had to use small quantities; but after the first
i've days my stomach retained full doses.
This was one year ago last October, and my
Improvement was rapid and permanent. ]

of flesh lost during my illness, and feel as
well to-day as ever did, and can unresery-
edly state that my life was slyed by Warmers

1t may seem strange that I, being physi-
clan and an eI-army surgeon, did not have

fact l had the symptoms of every other |
dlsense, and did no: suspect that my kid |
neys were In the least particular out of order;

danger, and where most people who read this |
article are In danger. | find that l am |
only one of thousands who are suffering |
from kidney disorders, which. neglected. |
surely terminate in Bright's disease. also |
know that physicians may treat these dis
orders for months without knowing clearly
what the trouble is, and even after ascertain
ing the cause be unable to prevent it. When
death, however, finally overtake5 the helpless
victim they disguise its real cause, attribu-
ing 1t 10 heart disease, commissions, apo
plexy, vertigo, paralysis, spinal meningitis,
blood and uremic poisoning, etc, etc.
Words, OF course, fail to express my thanks
