 10 Ms Edikor ef As HeyGLd: SIR: l dislike the notogiety of Q newspaper let- ter over my own signature, but in this matter duty oomPels me. AS many are aware, was for years in feeble eondi- tion, many people expecting my death at any time. In 1879. while at Denver, Colo, was attacked with q mysterious hemorrhage. lost 20 lbs. of flesh iu three weeks. l came home utterly broken down. My physicians said some pecu- liarity of the western climate produced the disorder. l made the journey again few months later, however, without i'll effects, but on my return home was prostrated with pneumonia. My left lung soon entirely filled, and my legs and body became twice their natural size. was obliged to sit upright in bed for sew eral weeks, in the midst of the severest agony, with my arms over my head. was in constant fear of snfocation. Many night l had deadly sinking spells. rhages returned. My legs were twisted with cramps, my skin was very hot and dry, my blood circulated unevenly, my mouth was parched, l was tormented with the pains of gravel and mucus in my fluids, and my back ached excruciatingly.
 did not know what was my especial disorder, but in April, 1881, a council of five of the best physicians of Syracuse said could not possibly recover. They advised me to try the virtues of certain mineral spring. With pitiful helpless ness l dragged myself to the cars, but was obliged to stop over at Worcester, Mass. There l was again thoroughly examined by fifteen physicians, who con- cured that l was incurable. Neverthe- less, continued my journey to the springs, remained there several weeks, bat returned home without benefit or hope.
 My disorder was for years sapping and mining my constitution before the final attack was made. First had chills and fever, then severe and protracted cold, then restless at night, nervous irritability by day, constantly distressing backache, unusual disposition to catarrh, pain in the chest, torpid liver, headache and dull sensation ID the base of the brain. For five years painful rheumatic pains affected my knee. Stomach and bowel heterogeneous came in their turn, with an occasional fluttering of my heart, and an inability to draw long breath; quick fatigue followed much conversation ir- regularity of appetite succeeded. FItful pains of neuralgia order fitted about my body, and after day of hard work, my arms would feel numb, so often had fears of paralysis. So terrible at times did my back and arms ache that at the close of work would lie on my couch for an hour with arms upraised in vain attempt for relief After a night of rest lessness and Authorizations, would awake in the morning with such dis dressing headache that could not arise until had drunk cup of strong coffee or tea.
 The disease which had fastened on me during all these years my physicians said was Brights disease of the kidneys, pro- nounced by every medical authority to be incurable. Having exhausted all au- thorized re nedies, dismissed my medi- cal attendants and began the use of Warmers Safe Cure in December, 1881. faithfully persevered for two and one half years, and it has saved my life and restored my health aDhes fvenfy ef ike most com6stent bhy1ciass safd / could n0frseovey. have taken over 200 bottles, following all diet rules and directions.
 have hitherto refrained from publish ing details of my case, because wished to secure permanent effects before stating results, but as have been comparatively a we'll man for the last two years and able to attend to my business daily, wholly through the preparation named, feel that ought to spread its merits before the world.
