On the first day Of June, 1881, lay at
my residence in this city surrounded
by my friends and waiting for death.
Heaven only knows the agony then en-
dured, for words can never describe it.
And yet, if a few years previous, any one
had told me that was to be brought so
low, and by so terrible disease, should
have scoffed at the idea. had always
been uncomnloilly strong and healthy,
had weighed over 200 pounds and hardly
knew, in my own experiences, what pain
or sickness :n we're: Very many people
cannot account for it. They feel dull

the body and DO not understand it. Or
they are exceedingly hungry one day
and entirely without appetite the next.
This was just the way felt when the
relentless malady which had fastened it.
self upon me first began. Still l thought
it was nothing; that probably had TAX
en- cold which would soon pass away.
Shortly after this noticed a heavy, and
at times neuralgia, pain in my mead,
but as it. would come one day and be
gone the next, I paid but little attention
to it. However, my stomach was out of
order and my food often failed to digest,
causing at times great Inconvenience.
Yet had no idea, even as a physician,
that these things meant anything serious
or that a monstrous disease was becom-
ing fixed upon me. Candidly, thought
was suffering from Malaria and SO doc
tored myself accordingly. But got no
better. l next noticed peculiar color
and odor about the fluids was passing

that persistent froth and scum appear

tied in thebottom. And yet did not re-
alize my danger fol, indeed, seeing these
symptoms continually, finally became
accustomed to them, and my suspicion
was wholly disarmed by the fact that I
had no pain in the affected organs or in
their vicinity. Why should have been
so blind I cannot understand.
There is terrible future for all physic
al neglect, and impending danger always
brings a person to his senses, even though
it may then be too late. Irealized, at last
nv critical condition and aroused my
self to overcome it: And, Oh! how hard
skill In the land. I visited all the prom
inent mineral springs iii America and
travelled from Maine to California. Still
grew worse. No two physicians agreed
as to my ,nalady. One said was troubled
with spinal irritation: another, heart
disease ;another general debility; anoth-
er nervous prostration; another, malaria;
another, dyspepsia; another, con.
gestion of the base of the brain;
and so on through long list
of common diseases, the symp.
toms of all of which really had. In this
way several years passed, during all of
which time wassteadily growing worse.
My conditi on had really become pitt.
able. The slight symptoms at first ex-
perienced were developed into terrible
and constant disorders-the little twiga
of pain had grown to oaks of agony. My
weight had been reduced from .2O7 to
100 pounds. My life was a torture to
food upon my stomach, and lived wholly
by injections. was living mass of pain.
My pulse was uncomfortable. In my.
agony I frequently fell upon the floor,
convulsively clutched the carpet, and
prayed for death. Morphine had little
or no effect in deadening the pain. For
Blk days and nights had the death-pre-
monitory hiccoughs constantly. My urine
was filled with tube casts and albumen.

While suffering thus received a call

but had never used. DR.. Foote detailed
to me the many remarkable cures which
bad come under his observation, by
means of this remedy, and urged me to
try it. AZ practiclng physician and
graduate of the schools, cherished the
predjudice both natural and common
with all regular practitioners, and de-
rided the idea Of any medicine outside
the regular channels being the least ben
efcial. So solicitious, however, was DR.:
Foote, that finally promised would

gan it's use on the LIST day of June and
took it according to directions. AT first
it sickened me; but this thought was a
dltion. continued to take it; the sick
ening sensation departed and was able
to retain food upon my stomach. In a
few days noticed decided change for
the better as also did my wife and friends.
My hiccoughs ceased and experienced
less pain than formerly. I was so re-
joiced at this improved condition that,
upon what had believed but few days
before was my dying bed, I vowed, in
the presence of my family and friends,
should l recover l would both publicly
and privately make known this remedy
for the good of humanity, wherever and
whenever had an opportunity. l also
determined that would give course of
lectures in the Corinthian Academy OF
Music in this city, stating in full the
symptoms and almost hopelessness of
my disease and the remarkable means by
which I have been saved. My improve
ment was constant from that time, and
in less than three months had gained

and present condition wholly to Warmers

Since my recovery have thoroughly
re-investigated the subject of kidney dii-

truths developed are astounding. There.

This may sound like rash statement, but
