or trust myself out alone. began to be
seriously alarmed. and sought the advice OF

said that my frequent horseback riding had

wound, which had injured my kidneys had
beco ne infiamed. He treated NE with med
icines and electricity also, but gave me no
permanent benefit. My painful symptoms all
resumed. Ibegan to cough. got very thin
and my legs were .disagreeably numb. be-
gan to despair At each attempt to cure, my
ailments became worse, with new symptoms.
next consulted celebrated physician from
the East, who, after humping and examin-
ing ne, stated that was in an advanced
stage OF consumption and threatened with
diabetes and paralysis He thought might
possibly prolong my life for a year or two. by
seeking b CHER and drier climate. This
was my condition when the people in your
part of the country last saw me.
Then Istarted for the Rockies, but liked
this country, and settled here. At first the
change helped me, but about three years ago
the benefit ceased. Then filled so rapidly
that could be out of bed only part OF each
day. All my old symptoms returned. At
this crisis, party OF Eastern gentlemen,
ON BUFFALO HUNT,
made my house their headquarters. In the
party was Or. Wakefield, who informed me
that had bid case of incurable Bright's
might, he said, ease me for few weeks or
months, but that was the best that could be
done. Around the bottle was a newspaper.
now newspaper was a rarity in our home,
and / sat in my chair looking it over when my
eye providentially fellupon an article relating

OF my boys to the nearest railroad station,
many miles distant, to obtain q bottle of the
Safe Cure The druggist said the demand for
the Cure was SO great he could not keep it in

more. 1t was more than a week before 1t ar

came ct last and at once began to take it.
When told DR.. Wakefield what was taking

and manner OF my cure as
