ST.. ALBANs, VT. Jan. 10, 1884.
Messrs. Editors: The upper portion OF
Vermont is one of the p~leasautest regions
in America during the summer and one Of
the bleakest during the winter. 1t affords
ample opportunity for the tourist, provid-
ing he chooses the proper season, but the
present time is not that season. Still there
are men and women here who not only en-
dure the climate, but praise Il u~nstinting.
ly, and that, too, in the face Of physical
bardships the most intense. The writer
heard of q striking illustration o this q few
days since which is given herewith:
MIR. Joseph Jacques is connected with the
Vermont Central Railroad in the capacity
OF Master Mason. He is well advanced in
years, with q ruddy complexion and hale
appearance, while his general bearing is
such as to instantly impress one with his
strict honor and integrity. Several years
ago he became afflicted with most distress
ing troubles, winch prevented the prosecu-
ton OF his duties. He was languid, and
yet restless, while at times q dizziness
would come over him which seemed almost
binding. His will power was strong, and
be determined not to give way to the mys-
FERROUS influence which seemed undermin-
ing his life. But the pain and annoying
symptoms were stronger han his will. and
be kept growing gradually worse. About
that time he beg an to notice q difficulty 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 discovered that
his feet had, in q short while, swollen to
enormous proportions. The balance of the
narrative can best be described in his own
words. He said:
"Whe4 my wife discovered the fact that
l was SO bloated, she sent for the doctor
Immediately. He made a most careful *.
animation and pronounced me in a very
serious condition. Notwithstanding his
care, l grew worse, and the swelling Of my
feet gradually extended upward in my
body. The top of my head panied me ter
ribly; indeed, so badly that at times it
seemed almost as if it would burst. My
feet were painfully cold, and even when
surrounded with hot hannels and irons felt
as if a strong wind were blowing on them.
Next my right leg became paralyzed. This
gave me no pain, but it was exceedingly
annoying. About this time ! began to Spit
blood most freely, although my lungs were
in perfect condition, and / knew it did not
come from them. My physicians were
careful and untiring IN their attentions,
but unable to relieve my suffer.
Ahbo " NV - vi
was dying 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
/ nave ever known or heard of. II red hot
knives sharpened to the highest degree
had been run through my body constantly
they could not have hurt me worse. l
would spring up in bed, sometimes as
much as three feet, cry out in my agony
and long for death. One night the misery
was SD intense that / arose and attempted
to go into the next room, but was unable
to lit my swollen feet above the little
threshold that INSTRUCTED them. l
in my agony, but felt unable even
to breathe. 1t seemed like death.
"Several years g Rev. DR.. j. Z. Kan
kin, now of Washington, was stationed
here as pastor Of the Congregational
Church. We all admired and respected
him, and my wife remembered seeing
somewhere that he had spoken in the high
est terms of a preparation which had cured
some of his intimate friends. We de-
termined to try this remedy, accordingly
sent for il, and, to make a long story
short, it completely restored my health,
brought me back from the grave, and l
owe all l nave in the way of health and
strength to Warmers Safe Cure, better
as Warmers Safe Kidney and Liv- |
er Cure. am positive hat if l had taken
medicine when l felt the first symp- |
above described, l might have avoid |
ed all the agony l afterward endured, to
say nothing of the narrow escape l had
from death"
In order that all possible facts bearing |
upon the subject might be known, / called
on DE-. Oscar F. Fassett, who was for nine |
teen years United States Examining Sur
geon aud who attended Mr.. Jacques during |
his sickness. He stated that Mr.. Jacques
had Il most pronounced case of Albumin |
uria 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 q condition where few, If |
~ ever recover. His recovery was due |
to Warmers Safe Cure.
Mr.. John W. Hobart, General Manager |
of the Vermont Central Railroad, stated |
Mr.. Jacques was one of the best and
most faithful of his employees, that his |
sickness had been an exceedingly severe |
one and the company were no. only glad
to again have his services, but grateful to |
the remedy that had cured so valuable q |
man.
Mr.. James NJ. Foss, Assistant Superin-
and Master Mechanic of the Yer |
mont Central Railroad, is also able to con
firm this.
do not claim to be a great discoverer, but
/ do think | have found in the above a most |
case and knowing the unusual
increase of Bright's disease feel that the
should nave the benefit of il. Ii
seems to me a remedy that can accomplish
so much in the last stages ought to do even |
more for the first approach of this decep- |
tive yet terrible trouble. F. B.
