Meesrs. Editors: The upper portion of
Vermont Is one ofthe pleasantest regions
in America during the summer and one of
the bleakest during the winter. Itafords
ample opportunity for the tourist, provi-
ding he chooses the proper season, but
the present time is not that season. Still
there are men and women here who not
only endure the climate, but praise it un-
stintingly. and that too in the face of ply
steal hardships the most Intense. The
writer heard OF q striking illustration of
this few days since which is given here
with:
Mr.. Joseph jacques is connected with
the Vermont Central railroad in the ca
vanced in years, with ruddy complex.
ion and hale appearance, while his gen.
eral bearing is such as to instantly i'm.
press one with his strict honor and in
tegrity. Several years ago he became af-
flicted with the most distressing troubles,
which prevented the prosecution of his
duties. He was languid, and yet restless,
while at times dizziness would come
over him which seemed almost binding,
His will power was strong, and he de-
termined not to give way to the myster-
ious influence which seemed undermin.
ing his life. But the pain and annoying
SYMPTOMS were stronger than his will,
and he kept growing gradually worse.
About that time he began to notice diff
ficulty in drawing on his boots, and it was
by the greatest effort that he was able to
force his feet into them. In this manner
several weeks passed by, until finally one
night, while in great agony, he discov-
cred that his feet had, in short while.
swollen to enormous proportions. The
balance of the narrative can best be des-
cribed in his own words. He said:
"When my wife discovered the fact
that was 80 bloated. she sent for the
doctor Immediately. He made a most
careful examination and pronounced
me in very serious condition. Not
withstanding his care, grew worse land
tended upward in my body. The top of
my head panied me terribly; indeed, SO
badly that at times it seemed almost as
if it would burst. NV feet were pain
fully cold, and even when surrt unded
with hot f1annels and irons felt as if q
strong wind were blowing on them.
Next my right leg became paralyzed.
This gave me no pain, but it was exceed.
ingIy annoying. About this time I
began to spit blood most freely,
although my lungs were in
perfect condition, and knew it did not
COME from them. Ny physicians were
careful and untiring in their attentions,
but unable to relieve my sufferings. NY
neighbors and friends thought was dy-
ing and many called to see me, fully
twenty-five on a single Sunday that I
now recall. At last my agony seemed to
eliminate in the most intense, sharp
pains have ever known or heard of. If
red hot knives sharpened to the highest
degree had been run through nv body
constantly they could not have hurt me
worse. would spring up in bed, some
times as much as three feet, cry out in
my agony and long for death. One night
the misery was SO intense that arose and
attempted to go into the next room, but
was unable to lift my swollen feet above
the little threshold that obstructed them.
I fell back upon the bed and gasped in
my agony, but felt unable even to breathe.
It seemed like death.
Several years ago Rev. DR.. ]. E. Ran
kin, now of Washington, was stationed
here as pastor Of the Congregational
him, and my wife remembered seeing
somewl ere that be had spo EN- in the
highest terms IF a preparation which had
cured some of his intimate friends. We
determined to try this remedy, accord
ingly sent for it, and, to make
a long story short, it completely
restored my health, brought
me back from the grave, and owe all I
have in the way of health and strength
to Warmers Safe Cure, better known as
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
am positive that if bad taken this
medicine when felt the first symptoms
above described, I might have avoided
all the agony I afterward endured, to
say nothing of the narrow escape I had
from DEATH"
In order that all possible facts bearing
upon the subject might be known, I
called on DR.. Oscar F. Fassett, who was
for nineteen years United States Exam
lining Surgeon, and who attended Mr..
Jacques during his sickness. He stated
that Mr.. Jacques had most pronounced
case of Albuminuria or Bright's disease
of the kidneys. That an analysis showed
the presence of albumen and casts in
great abundance and that he was in con-
dition where few if any ever recover. His
recovery was due to Warmers Safe Cure.
Mr.. John w. Hobart, General Manager
of the Vermont Central railroad, states
that Jacques was one Ofthe best and most
faithful of his employees, that his sickness
had been an exceedingly severe one and
the company were lot only glad to have
his services, but grateful to the remedy
that had cured so valuable man.
Mr.. James M. Foss, assistant superin-
tendent and master mechanic of the Yer
mont Central railroad is also able to con-
firm this.
do not claim to be great discoverer
but do think l have found in the above
a most, remarkable case and knowing the
unusual increase of Bright's disease feel
that the public should have the benefit
of it. 1t seems to me that remedy that
can accomplish so much in the last stages
ought to do even more for the first ap-
proach of this deceptive etterrible trou-
