 S,k,-Oa the srss day ot June, 1881, I lay at my residence in this city surrounded by my friends aad waiting for death. Heaven only knows the agony then en- dured, for words can never describe tt. And yet, If . few years previous any one had told me that ! was to be brought co low, and by SO terrible disease, should have scoffed at the idea. had always been uncommonly strong and healsAs, and weighed over 100 pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize at times that they are unusually tired and cannot account for it. They feel dull pains in various paxts of the body and do not understand 1t. Or they are exceed. ingly hungry one day and entirely with out appetite the next. This was just the way felt when the relentless maiady which had fastened itself upon me first began. Still l thought nothing ot 1t 1; that probably had taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed heavy, and at times neuraigic, pAin sn one side Q! my head, but as 1t would come one day and be gone the next, paid little attention to 1t. Then my stomach would get out of order and my food often failed to digest, causing at times great inconvenience. Yet, even as . physician, did not think that these things meant anything serious. liancied l was suffering from malaria and doc tored myself accordingly.

In this way sew eral years passed, during which time 1 was steadily growing worse. My condi- tion had really become plslable. The slight symptoms l at first experienced were developed Into terrible and constant disorders. My weight had been reduced frem 3o7 to I3o pounds. My life was burden to myself and friends. could retain no food on my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. l was q living mass of paia. My pulse was uncontrollable. In my agony frequently fell to the floor death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights had the death -premonitory hic- coughs constantly. My water was filled with tubecssts and albumen. 1 was struggling with Brigh,'s Disease of the kidneys in its last stagesi
 While suffering thus received call from my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, at that time rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, of this city. felt that 1t was our last interview, but in the course of conversation Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkable cures of cases like my own which had come under his obser- vation, by means of . remedy, which he urged me to try. As . pfacticiag physi- clan and graduate Of the schools, de- rided the idea of aay medicine outside the regular channels being in the least beneficial.
