In one side of my head, but as it would come
one day and be gone the next, I paid little
attention to it. Then my stomach would get
out Of order and my food often failed to
digest, causing at times great inconven-
ience. Yet, even as physician, l did not
think that these things meant anything seri-
GUS. l fancied was suffering from ma
laria and doctored myself accordingly. But
got no better. l next noticed peculiar
color and odor about the fluids l was pass
ing-also that there were large quantities
one day and very little the next, and that
persistent froth and scum appeared on the
surface, and a sediment settled. And yet
did not realize my danger, for, indeed, see
ing these symptoms continually, I finally
became accustomed to them, and my suspi
cion was wholly disarmed by the fact that
had no pain in the affected organs or in their
vicinity. Why should have been so blind

physicians agreed as to my malady. One
said was troubled with spinal irritation;
another, dyspepsia; another, heart disease;
another, general debility; another conges-
ton 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 was steadily growing worse.
My condition had really become pitiable.

constant disorders. Ny weight had been

of pain. Ny pulse was uncomfortable. In
my agony frequently fell to the floor and
clutched the carpet, and prayed for death.
Morphine had little or no effect in deaden-
ing the pain. For six days and nights had

stages!
While suffering thus received a call from
my pastor, the Rev. DR.. Foote, at that time
rector Of St Paul's Episcopal Church, of
this city. felt that it was our last inter
view, 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 observation. AS practicing
physician and a graduate Of the schools,
derided the idea of any medicine outside the
regular channels being in the least bene-
fetal. So solicitous, however, was DR..
Foote, that finally promised would waive
my prejudice. began its use on the first
day of June, 1881, and took it according to
directions. At first it sickened me; but
this thought was good sign for one in
my debilitated condition. l continued to
take it; the sickening sensation departed
and was finally able to retain food upon
my stomach. In few days l noticed de-
cided change for the better, as also did my
wife and friends. Ny hiccoughs ceased
and experienced less pain than formerly.
was so rejoiced at this improved condition
that, upon what had believed but a few days
before was my dying bed, vowed, in the
presence Of my family and friends, should
I recover. I would both publicly and pri
vately make known this remedy for the
good Of humanity, wherever and whenever
I had an opportunity, and this letter is in
fulfllment Of that vow. Ny Improvement

Since my recovery have thoroughly re-
Investigated the subject Of kidney diff

developed are astounding. I therefore
state, deliberately, and as a physician, that
believe nDre than one-hdlf the d dths tDhich
occur in America are caused by Br gifts dis
ease of the Kidneys. This may sound like
rash statement, but am prepared to fully
verify it. Brights disease has no distinctive
features of its own, Indeed, it often devel-
ops without any pain whatever in the
kidneys or their vicinity but has the symp-
