Ny condition had really become pitiable.
The slight symptoms had at first expert

constant disorders. My weight had been
reduced from 207 to 100 pounds. Ny life
was burden to myself and friends. Icould
retain no food on my stomach, and lived
wholly by injections. l was q living mass
of pain. My 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
the death premonitOry hiccoughs constant

and albumen. l was struggling with
Bright's Disease of the kidneys in its last
stagesl
While suffering thus Ireceived q call from
my pastor, the Rev. DIR. FOote, ut that time
rector of St Paurs Episcopal Church, Of
this city. l felt that it was our last inter-
view, but in the course Of conversation DIR.
FOote detailed to me the many remarkable
cures Of cases like my own which had come
under his observation. As q practicing
physician and q 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. l began its use on the first
day Of June, 1851, and took It according to
directions At first it sickened me; but
this thought was a good sign for one in
my debilitated condition. continued to
take it; the sickening sensation departed
and l was finally able to retain food upon
my stomach. In a few days noticed q de-
cided change for the better, as also did my
wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased
and / experienced less pain than formerly.
Twas SO rejoiced at this improved coudition
that, upon what l had believed but o few1ays
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
fuldllment Of that vow. My improvement
was constant from that time, and in less
than three months had gained Is pounds

I believe 1 owe my life and present condi-
ton wholly to Warmers Safe Cure, the rem
edy which used.
Since my recovery have thoroughly re-
investigated the subject Of kidney dif1-
culties and Bright's disease, and the truths
developed are astounding. therefore
state, deliberately, and as physician, that
believe more than onc-hdlf the DEATHS schtcf
occur in America are caused by Br;ght's dis
cas-. Of the kidneys. This may sound like a
rash statement, but 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

it is from Bright's disease of the kidneys.

Of the number knew or realized the mysteri-
