"seyersl years ago Rev. DR.. j. J..
Rankin, now Of Washington, was sta

al Church. We all admired and respected
him, and my wife remembered Of seeing
somewhere tina, he had spoken in the

cured some Of his intimate friends. We
determined to try this remedy, accord

story short, il completely restored my
health, brought me back from the grave,
and | owe all that | have in the way Of
health and strength to Warner'sSa Cure,
better known as Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure. Am positive that II
had taken this medicine when felt the
first symptoms above described, | nigh,

endured. to say nothing Of the narrow &C.

In order that ell possible facts bearing
upon the subject might be known, /
called on DR.. Oscar y. fasseti, who was
for nineteen years United States Exam
ming Surgeon. and who attended Mr..
Jacques during his sickness. He stated
that Mr.. Jacques had a mos, pronounced
case Of AlbuminuriA OF Bright's disease
Of the kidneys. That m analysis showed
the presence Of albumen and casts In
sres, abundance and that he was in .
condition where few II any ever recover
His recovery was due to Warmers Safe
Cure.
Mr.. John w. Hobart, General Mana
ger Of the Vermont Central Railroad,
stated that Mr.. Jacques Vas one Of the
best and most faithful Of his employees,
that his sickness had been an exceedingly
severe ore and the Company were not
