A WONDERFUL ARRAY.
Some Remarkable Claims Which Have
Recently EIeen Thoroughly Invesi-
gated and Confirmed

| The reading people of New England have
been considerably aroused the past week
over series Of articles which have been
published in tine daily papers. These arti-
Giles have been some outspoken statements of
weil-known men and women who, by
thoughuessness or neglect, came pc rilously
near death, and who were rescued just in
time. There are so many claims made in
these days, and from SO many sources, that
one hardly knows where to locate truth If
the article about which SO much has been
said is valuable, it sheuld be known beyond
doubt; if not, it should certainly be
known. With this end in view, a represent
| alive of this paper was detailed 10 investi-
gate the subject. His first call was upon
Mr.. B. F. Bradbury, the well-known apothe-
cary, who has been doing business at 443
Washington street for years. Mr.. Bradbury
said:
Il believe what has been said in the4arti-
Giles you refer To. These people claim to
have been brought very near death by
Brlght's disease of the kidneys, and to have
been saved by The use of Hunts remedy
believe it. Whenever any of my customers
suffering from kidney, liver or bladder
troubles ask me for a reliable medicine, al
ways tell them to use Hunts Remedy. |
have said it for years, and have yet to hear
OF the first complaint"
Mr.. John Sullivan, the apothecary of Ire
mont street, believed all that had been said.
Prominent men are dying daily from
Bright's disease and kidney troubles, and
scores of others whose deaths We never hear
of. So favorable, however, are the accounts
of Hunts Remedy that invariably recon-
mend it,
At the immense establishment Of Hough-
ton Dutton, the heads of the firm said
Tine increased demand on the part of both
men and women for Kidney medicines is
most marked. We have sold more than a
thousand bottles of Hunts Remedy at retail
within the past few months, and | could but
notice one significant fact in connection with
it, which was that the purchasers almost in
variably came back for more"
Messrs. George c. Goodwin & Co, the
wholesale medicine dealers, said: Hunts
Remedy is standard medicine, and most
valuable one, and We certainly believe the
accounts which have been published in the
papers, and to which you refer"
Messrs. Weeks & Potter, and other promi-
nent medicine dealers, spoke in the highest
terms of this remedy, and a quiet inquiry
among the physicians of the city developed
the fact that many were using it in their
practice, from the unusual results they had
seen it accomplish.
The writer also found confirmation of all
the claims made for Hunts Remedy in Mr.
Alfred c. Monroe of Pemberton Square
who was so badly off few years ago that
his life was despaired of, but who, under the
recommendation of his physician, used
Hunts Remedy, and was completely cured.
Mr.. John Dixon. go Broadway, South
Boston, believes he owes his life to the use
of this remedy.
Mr.. Josiah G. Bicknell, 642 Main 81, Cam
bridgeport, who was an intense sufferer from
gravel, was cured by the same means. He
said II wish | could tell this story to
every man, woman and child in America"
Several other well known people were in
terviewed with similar results.
The inevitable conclusion from these
most remarkable statements is to confirm
all that has been said regarding this remedy, |
and to demonstrate clearly that it merits all
that has been claimed for it.
