seldom appear publicly IL print, but ~the
facts connected with NY experience which
follow are so striking and bear so closely up
on the experience of others, ths5 venture to
repI O luce them entire: @-
In the month of September, 1919, was
spractieing me licine in AeS Orleans. Inc sum
m er had been excess. .vely hot and every body
was conplaining o. being exhausted and feel-
ing tired. 1t was not an unfreQuent occur
renee to have patients ask for something to
relieve this weary Sc sation, and that shout
also partale OF the same unIyersI lassitud3
or weakness did not alarm me. | suppoS ed

Temporary physical prostration; therefore |
made trip to St. Paul, Mimi, thinking that
a rest of few weeks in cooler climate
would soon reinvigor4te me- Little did l
dream, however, what was in store for ne.
After getting settled in my lew qu4rters l
took short walk every day, and patiently
ava ted return OF strength, but IN spite OF
all my efforts | seemed to be losing strength;
and even any slight exercise became la
borious and tiresone. During this time
| had frequent dull aching pains in
my head, and through my back and
hips occasional shooting pains in various parts
of the bo ly, with soreness, shortness OF breath,
and palpitation of the heart. My feet and
hands would be like ice one day. and burn with
heat the next. ! hid no desire for food, and
what | did eat distressed ne; my s'eep be-
came disturbed with the frequent desire to
urinate. The quantity of fluid passed would
at one time be small and at another quite
profllse. Then for days | would be per-
fectly free from this desire and nothing seemed
to be the matter; nevertheless my debility
gradually increased. My eyeids We're pulled
out; my bowels were ternately torpid and
too active, the urine would be Ct 3ar some days,
on others it would be of highcolor and deposit
a bri, k-dust sediment and at st lfothers ere
would be whitish appearance ard thin
greasy scum woull rise TO the top. The pains
in my head back, chest, joints, bowels nd
bones were horrible in the extreme. | went
in vain from place o place and consulte the
best medical authorities tie cOlnltry affords;

fever the next. / cuffered excrucitingly with
q numbness Of my feet and hands, and at the
base of the brain and between my shoulders;
at times my limbs and body would bloat and
physicians said Twas suffering from the dropsy
and could not recover.
How | could be so blind to the terrible
trouble that was devourlng me, do not |
know; but there are thousands to-dIy who |
are suffering from the same use and are as
ignorant of its nature as was My skin was |
the color of marble at one time, and then |
again it would be like saffron, and this terri |

lay at my hotel in Philadelphia, where | was |
temporarily sojourning, given up to die by I
friends and physicians alike, when there
provldentially came into my hands little |
panphiet, which IesreGu4ly y%read, ,s.ana from |
which | got view OF my real conii- |
tion, which no other agency had revealed |

large quantities. A skillful physician was |
sent for and appriSed of the fact. He said | |
had Bright's disease, and that death was
certain. My friends importuned me to take
a remedy which had won great reputat on Tor
the cure of all forms of kidney diseases and l
laid aside my prejudice and COM
menced its use. At first my stomach re jncted
it and had to use small quan titiss; but after
the hrst i've days my stomach retained fun
doses. This was one year ago last Oetober,
and my improvement was rapid and perma-
nent. | have regained 30 Of the IS rouads Of
flesh lost dur ng my illness, and feel as
well tod y as ever Id, and can unreserved-
ly state that my life was saved by Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy l
used.
1t may seen strange that l, being physi-
clan and an ex-army surgeon, did not have the
water anayZed before; but such is the ct.
| had the sym. toms of every other disease,
and did not suspect that my dneys were in
the least particular out OF order; and here is
just where I was in the greltest danger, and
where most people who read this al ticle ere
in danger / fad that an only one of thou
sands who are suffering frOn kidney disor-
ders, which, neglected, surely terminate in
Brioht's disease. | also know that physicians
may treat these disorders for months without
knowing clearly what the trouble is, and
after as ertaining the cause, be unable TO pre-
vent it. When death, however, finally over
takes the helpless victim they dis uisc its real
cause, attributng it to helrt-diselse, convul-
sons, spoplexy, vertigo, PARALYSIS spinal
meningitis, blood and uremic poisoning, ETC.,
etc.
Words, of course, fail to express my thanks
to H. H. Warner IL Co., of Rochester, y. Y,
for giving the world such needed and GER
tain specific as the Sale Kidney and Liver
Cure but such as they are | gladly give them
y hle to the thousands to whom have lect-
ured upon the llws of hcalth and hygiene /
this letter most cordially, and warn
them to beware of the ilsidious nature Of a
disease over which physicians confess they
have no control and which, in one form or
another, is carrying more people to untimely |
graves than any other malady.
