several years passed, during all OF which
time | was steadily growing worse. My
condition had really become pitiable The
slight symptoms 1 at first experienced
were developed into terrible and constant
disorders-the little twigs OF pain had
grown to oaks OF agony. My weight had
been reduced from 207 to l3) pounds.
My life was torture TO myself and

was living mass Of pain. My pulse was
uncomfortable. In my agony frequently
fell upon the floor, convulsvely clutched
the carpet, and prayed for death. Nor.
phine had little or no effect In deadening
the pain. For six DAYS and nights | had
the death.premonltory hiccoughs con-
stantly. My urine was filled with tube
casts and albumen. | was struggling with
Bright's Disease Of the kidneys in its last
stages.
While suffering thus | received call
from my pastor, the Rev. DR.. Fo0te, rector
of st. Paups Church, OF this city. | felt
that it was our last interview, but In the
course of conversatic he mentioned n rem
edy of which | had heard much but had
never used. Dir. 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. As a prae-
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-
fetal. So solictous, however, was Dr.
Foote, that finally promised would waive
my prejudice and try the remedy he so high.

first day Of June and took It according to
directions. At first it sickened me; but
this thought was good sign for mo in
my dabilitated condition. | continued to
take IL; the sickening sensation departed
and was able to retain food upon my
%omach. In few days | noticed a de.
cided change for the better as also did my
wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased
and | experienced less pain than formerly. |

tion that, upon what | had believed but |

friends, should | recover would both pub
licly and privately make known this rem

also determined that | would give a course |
OF lectures in the Corinthian Academy OF |
Music in this city, stating in full the symp. |
tons and almost hopelessness of my dis |
ease and the remarkable means by which |
have been saved. My improvement was
constant from that-time, and in less than
three months | had gained twenty-siX |
pounds in flesh, became entirely free from
pain and believe owe my life and pres
ont condition wholly to Warmers Safe
Cure, the remedy which | used.
Since my recovery have thoroughly re-
the subject OF kidney Difficult
lies and Bright's disease, and the truths
developed are astounding. | therefore
itate, deliberately, and as physician, that
believe more than one-half the deaths
which occur IN America are caused by
Brght's disease Of the kidneys. This may
found like q rash statement, but am pre-
pared TO fully verify it. Brghps disease
las no distinctive symtoms OF its own, tin
Iced, it often develops without any pain
in the kidneys or their vicinity,
,ut has the symptoms Of nearly every other
lnown complaint. Hundreds Of people die
iaiy, whose burials are authorized by a
physicians certificate Of Heart Disease
Appoplexy,"" Paralysis" "Spinal Com
,laint," Rheumatism" Pneumonia"
md other common diseases, when IN reality
was Brighps Disease Of the kidneys.
Few physicians, and fewer people, realize
he extent of this disease or its dangerous
md insidious nature. IL steals into the
ystem like a thief, manifests its presence
" the c0mmonest symptoms, aud fasiens
tself upon the constitution before the vic
i'm is aware. IL is nearly as hereditary as
quite as common and fully as
atal. Entire families, inhcridng it from
heir ancestors, have died, and yet none OF
he number knew orrealized the mysterious
'ower which was removing them. Instead
I common symptoms it often shows none
rhatever, but brings death suddenly, and
