SIR-On the first day OF June, 1881. lay al
my residence In this city surrounded by my
friends and waiting for death. Heaven only
knows the agony then endured, for words
can never describe 1t. And yet. IL few
years previous any one had told me that
was TO be brought so low, and by so terrible
q disease. should have scoffed Mt the idea.
had always been uncommonly strong and
healthy, aud weighed over 200 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 ac-
count for IL. They feel dull pains in various
parts of the body and do not under
stand It. Or. they are exceedingly hun

S felt when the roicntIsss %siady which Nh had
fastened itself upon me first began. Still 1
thought nothing OF IL; that probably i had
taken a cold which would soon pass away.
Shortly after this noticed heavy, and at
times neuralgia, pain I'm one SIDE of my head,
but as IL 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, causingsat times great
inconvenience. Yet, even as physician, did
not think that these things meant anything
serious. i fancied twas suffering from ma
laria and doctored myself accordingly. But
/ got no better. next noticed q peculiar
color and odor about the fluids was passing
ALSO that there were large quantities one
day and very little the next and that "A per-
sistent froth and scum appeared upon the
surface, and a sediment settled. And yet
did not realize my danger, for, indeed, see
ing these symptoms continually, fin
ally became accustomed to them, and my
suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact
that had no pain I'm the affected organs or in
their vicinity. Why should have been so
blind cannot understand.
i consulted the best medical skill In the
land. visited all the famed mineral springs
In America and travelled from Maine TO Cali
fornia. Still 1 grew worse. No two ply
sicians agreed as to my malady. One said
was troubled with spinal irritation; another,
dyspepsia; another, heart disease; another,
general debility; another, congestion of the
base of the brain; and so on through long
list of common diseases, the symptoms OF
| many OF which i really had. In this way
several years passed, during which time L
was steadily growing worse. My condition
had really become pitiable. The slight
| symptoms j at first experienced were devel-
| oped into terrible and constant disorders.
| My weight had been reduced from 207 to 1870
| pounds. My life was burden to myself and
| friends. i could retain no food on my
stomach, and lived wholly by injections. 1
was living mass of pain. My pulse was I'M
controllable. In my agony frequently fell
to the floor and clutched the carpet. and
prayed for death. Morphine had little or no
and nights had the death-premonitory hic-
coughs constantly. My water was filled with
| tube-casts and abumen. l was struggling
with Bright's disease of the kidneys In fits

! While suffering thus / received call from
| my pastor, the Rev. DR.. Foote, at that time
| rector OF st. Paurs Episcopal Church. of this
| city. / felt that IL was our last interview,
| but in the course of conversation DIR. Foote
| detailed to me the many remarkable cures of

| he urged me to try. As practicing physi-
clan and a graduate of the schools, derided

| channels being in the least beneficial. So so
| licitous, however, was DR.. Foote, that finally
| promised i would waive my prejudice.

| and took Il according TO directions. At first
it sbckened me; but this l thought was a
| good sign for one in my debilitated condi-
] ton. 1 continued to take IL; the sickening
sensation departed and was finally able to
retain food upon my stomach. In a few
days noticed decided change for the bet

| My hiccoughs ceased and i experienced
less pain than formerly. was so rejolced
at this improved condition that, upon
what had believed but n few days before
was my dying bed, Vowed. I'm the presence
of my family and friends, should recover

Since my recovery i have thoroughly re.

Amcricd are caused by B'ights disease Of IN,
Kidneys. This may sound like rash state

toms of its own Indeed, IL often devel
ops without any pain whatever in the
kidneys or their vicinity, but has the
symptoms OF nearly every other common

whose buuials are authorized by physician

physicians, and fewer people. realize the ex.

the number knew or pcalized the mysterious
power which was removing them. Instead
OF commOnsymptoms, it often shows none

convulsions, apodlexy. or heart disease.
