SIR:-My motives for the publication of tn,
most unusual statements which follow, are
first, gratitude for the fact that have beer
saved from a. most horrible death, and. sec
ondly, a desire toswarn alt. who read sthi
statement against some of the most deccptiv,
influences by which they have ever been sur
rounded. 1t lis fact that to-day thousands Of
people are within foot OF, the grave and thes
do not know it. To tell how I was caugh,
away from just this position and to warn 9th
ers against nearing it, are my objects in. this

On the first day of June, 1881, lay at my
and waiting for Death. Heaven only knows
the agony then endured, for words can never
describelt. And vet, if a Few years previous,
any one had told me that was to be brought
soiow, and by SO terrible a disease, should
have scoffed at the idea. I.had always been
uocommonly strong and healthy, had weighed
over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my own
experience, what pain or sickness were. Very
many people who will read this statement
realize'at times that they are unusually tired
and cannot account for it. They feel dull and
indefinite pains in various parts of the body,
and do not understand it. Or they are exceed
lngly hungry one day and entirely without
felt wheps the ,relentless fllalady which had
fastened itself upon me first began. still I
thought it was nothing; that probably 1 had
taken cold which would soon pass away.
Shortly after this l noticed n heavy, and at
times neuralgia pain in my head, but as it
would come one day aud be gone the next,
paid but little attention to it. However, my
stomach was out of order and my food often
failed to digest, Causing attimes great incoli-
veenienee, Yet had no idea, even as a physi-
clan. that these things meant anything serious
or that monstrous disease WAS becoming fixed
upon me. Candidly, thought was suffer-
ing from Malaria and SO doctored myself ac-
cordlusly. But got no better. next noticed
q peculiar color and odor about the fluids was
passng-also that there were large quantities
one day and very little the next, and that per-
slstent froth and scum appeared upon the sur
face, and sediment settled in the bottom.
And yet did not realize my danger, for, in
deed. seeing these symptoms continually,
finally became accustomed to them, and my
suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that
had no pam in the affected organs or in their
vicinity. Why sboull have been so blind l

upon the floor, sconyulslvely clutched the car

days and nights l had the death-premonitory

Since my recovcryI have thoroughly re-inyes
tigated the subject of kidney difficulties and
Brights disease, and thetruths developed arc
astounding. | therefore state, deliberately
and as a physician, that believe more than
one-balf the deaths which occur in Amelic
are caused by Brights disease of the kidney
This may sound like a rash statement, but
am prepared to fully verify it. Bright's
case has no distinctive symptoms of its ow
lndeed. it often develops without any pa
whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity, b
has the symptoms Of nearly every other know
complaint. Hundreds of people die dali

Paralysis, y" Spinal Complaint" ''Rheunla

eases, when in reality it was Bright's Disease Of
