BrlgntS Disease OF the kidneys In its last
stagesl
While suffering thus received call from
my pastor, the Rev. DR.. Foote, at that time
rector Of St PAurs Episcopal Church, of
this city. 1felt that it was our last inter-
view, but in the course Of conversation DR..
Foote detailed to me the many remarkable
under his observation. As a practicing
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 l 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 q good sign for one in
my debilitated condition. I continued to
take it; the sickening sensation departed
and I was finally able to retain food upon
my stomach. In a few days I noticed a de-
cided change for the better, as also did nv
wife and friends. Ny hiccoughs ceased
and I experienced less pain than formerly.
! was so rejoiced 1T this improved condition
that, upon what l had believed but a few days
before was my dying bed, vowed, in the
presence of my family aul friends, should
I recover would both publicly and pri.
vateiy make known this remedy for the
good Of humanity, wherever aud whenever
l had an opportunity, and this letter is in
fulfllment Of that vow. My improvement
was constant from that time, and in less
than three months had gained 28 pounds
in flesh, became emit rely free from pain and
/ believe owe ny life and present condi
ton wholly to Warmers Safe Cure, the rem
edy which I used.
ha 1~vx
investigated the subject Of kidney diff
culties and Bright's disease, and the truths
developed are astounding. I therefore
state, deliberately, and as physician, that
believe nwre than one-half the aths tchtch
Occur In America are caused BY Br gifts dis
sass Of the kidneys. This may sound like a
rash statement, but I am prepared to fully
verify it. Bright's 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-
toms of nearly every other common com.
plant Hundreds of people de daily, whose
burials are authorized by IL physici ms GER
tificate as occurring from "Heart Disease"
"Apoplexy," "Paralysis," "Spnal Com
plaint," "Rheumatism,' "Pneumonia," and
other common compla nts, when in reality
it is from Bright's disease of the kidneys.
Few physicians, and fewer people, realize
the extent of this disease or its dangerous
and insidious nature. 1t steals into the
system like a thief, manifests its presence
II at all by the commonest symptoms and
fastens itself in the constitution before the
victim is aware Of it 1t is nearly as hered-
itary as consumption, quite as common and
fully as fatal Entire families, inheritingit
from their ancestors, have died, and yet none
of the number knew or realized the mysteri
GUS power which was removing them. In
stead Of common symptoms it often shows
none whatever, but brings death suddenly,
from commissions, apoplexy, or heart dis
ease. As one who has suffered. and knows
by bitter experience what he says, i'm
plore everyone who reads these words not
to neglect the slightest symptoms of kidney
difficulty. No one can afford to hazard such
chances.
I make the foregoing statements based
upon facts which can substantiate to the
letter. The welfare of those who may pos
sibly be sufferers such as Twas, is an ample
inducement for me to take the step have,
and if can successfully warn others from
the dangerous path in which once walked,
am willing to endure all professional and
personal consequences.
