While suffering thus I received a call
rom my pastor, the Rev. DR.. Foote, rector
OF st. PauPs Church, of this city. felt
that 1t was our last interview, but in the
course OF conversation he mentioned a rem
edy or which had heard much but had
never used. DIR. Foote detailed to me the
under his observation by means of this
remedy, and urged me to try it. As prac-
tlclng physician and graduate of the schools
l cherished the prejudice both natural and
common with all regular practitioners, and
der1ded the idea OF any medicine outside
the regular channels being the least bene-
fetal. So solicitOus, however, was Dr.
Foote, that finally promised would waive
my prejudice and try the remedy he SO high
" recommended began Its use on the
first day Of June and took it according to
directions. At first it sickened me: but
this thought was good sign for me in
my debllitated condition. continued to
take it; the sickening sensation departed
and I was able to retain food upon my
stomach. In a few days ! noticed a de-
cided change for the better as also did nv
wife and friends. Ny hiccoughs ceased
and experienced less pain than formerly.
was so rejoiced at this improved condi-
ton that, upon what had believed but
few days before was my dying bed,
vowed, in the presence of my family and
friends, should recover would both pub
llcly and privately make known this rem
edy for the good of humanity, wherever
and whenever / had an opportunity. !
also determined that would give course
of lectures in the Corinthia1 Academy Of
Music in this city, stating in full the symp-
tons and almost hopeleSSneSS of nv dis.
ease and the remarkable means by which
have been saved. My improvement was
constant from that time, and in less than
three months I had gained twenty-six
pounds in flesh, became entirely free from
pain and believe owe my life and pres
ent condition wholly to Warmers Safe
Cure, the remedy which I used.
Since my recovery have thoroughly re-
investigated the subject of kidney difficult
ties 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 a rash statement, but I am pre-
| pared to fully verify it. Bright's disease
| has no distinctive SYMPTOMS of its own, (in-
| deed, 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 a
physicians certificate of g Hearth Disease"
Appoplexy," ' Paralys }" " 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, 1 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 sucI
chances.
am aware that such an unqualified
statement as this, coming from me, known
as I am, throughout the entire land as
practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the
surprise and possible animosity of thu
medical profession and astonish all with
whom am acquainted, but l make thu
foregoing statements, based upon fact!
which am prepared to produce, and truths
which can substantiate to the letter. Tn
welfare of those who may possibly be suf
ferers such as Twas, is an ample inducemen
for me to take the step l have, and if
can successfully warn others from tn
dangerous path in which l once walked,
am willing to endure all professional AM
personal consequences.
