In order that all possible facts bearing
upon the subject might be known, called
on DIR. Oscar f.. Fassett, who was for nine.
teen years United States Examining Sur
geon and who attended Mr.. jacques during
his sickness. He stated that Nj. Jacques
had 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 abundancs and
that he was in condition where few, il
any, ever recover. His recovery was due
to Warmers Safe Cure.
Mr. John w. Hobart, General Manager
of the Vermont Central Railroad, stated
that 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 not only glad
toagain have his services, but grateful to
the remedy that had cured so valuable a
man.
Mr.. James NJ. Foss, Assistant Superin-
tendent and Master Mechanic of the Yer.
mont Central Railroad, is also able to con
firm this.

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 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. FL
