The Extraordinary Experience Of n Prom

Richmond (Vd.) STATE
A. A. Arnold, Of the valley Virgnian,"
Staunton, Va, writes the following remark
able letter, the truth of which is attested by
many prominent Staunton citizens
Mr.. Crawford, however, is SO we'll known
in Richmond that no afiidavits are necessary
in his case. His remarkable experience Is
well worth perusal to the end:
81 was teaching school at Scherando; on
the morning Of the early part of February,
1879, 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 Brights 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 mystery to me.
His groans could be heard at a great distance.
Thanks to kind Providence a change came,
and after a 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 n few
months ago l met him in StauntOn looking
in better health than ever. l imagined hi
was patched up but | was mistaken, for
you might meet 200 healthy men and not find
one in the lot who presents more the appear
ance of perfectly healthy man than he H
gives me the following additional parti-
culars:
after reaching my home took my bed
and the outlook was that when left it it
would be for march to the tomb
"Convulsion followed CONFUSION; in my
agony my cenched hands drove the nails OF
my fingers into the flesh Of my palms.
EVERY physician of note in the neighbor-
hood and several from Staunton were sum-

Philadelphia; after examining me one asked

dead man now! p

Mr.. Crawford, senior partner of CRAWFORD
& Laey of the st. Charles Hotel, is mal
whose word is pre-eminent FOR probty al
over the South
When the above thrilling story was sent u
by Messrs. Warner q Co. they authorized IL
to offer 5000 to any person who will prov,
that any testimonial used by them is no
strictly true SO far as they know. They also
say that wonderful as is the above, they ca,
produce many thousands of similarly strik
ing proofs of permanent cure when all othe
agencies failed.
