Stanton, Va, writes the following remark
able letter, the truth OF which is atte,ted by
many prominent Staunton citizens
Nr. Crawford. however, is so well known
in Richmond that no adavits are necessary
in his case. His remarkable experience is
well worth perusal to the end:
II was teaching school at Scherando: on
the morning OF the early part of February.
1872 as passed the village tavern the hired
boy informed me that there was gentleman
at the house dying and that he had sent for
me several times
He said that his physician had told him he
had Bright's Disease. Shortly after midnight
his Commissions were so severe and in such
rapid succession the nurse had expected him
to die every hour, and he was at this moment
sinking rapidly.
How any being could suffer as he did and
live is and always will be a mystery to me-
His groans could be heard at a great distance
Thanks to a kind Providence a change came
and after few days he was able to be re
moved to his home at Summerdean For
many months he was looked upon as no better
than dead man.
Imagine my surprise then when a few

Philadelphia; after examining me one asked

read in one OF Warmers advertisements :
Some constitutions are liable to constipa-

Mr.. Crawford, senior partner of Crawford
& Lalley, of the st. Charles Hotel, is a man
whose word is pre-eminent Cor probity all
over the South.
When the above thrilling story was sent us
by Messrs. Warner & Co. they authorized us
