Some Remarkable Facts.
Shipwrecked?
Yes. Three times, in all.
Once on a steamer. That only amounted TO
a little excitement and the loss Of nv baggage.
Once on Japanese junk. resulting in yigor-

wrecked in good earnest. I shall never forget
it:
Our staunch schooner went ashore in the
straits Of Cape Horn. The wind blew gale

These words were spoken by Lieut. Com.

While battling with the currents of death that

quarter, restoring me to health and vigor.
How did it happen? While / was in this

faith in proprietary medicines, as a rule but
was finally induced to give the Safe Cure Q
trial.
What has been the result?
2" You can see for yourself" The fact that
the speaker was the very picture of health and
strength, and is engaged in the most arduous
duties in connection with the Navy Depart
ment was sufficient answer. AMI endorsement
of the wonderful remedial effect of this great
discovery.
Statements such as these are beyond question.
They agree, in every particular, with testimony
that is given by men and women throughout
the country, who speak from past experience.
Take, for example, the case OF that we'll known
official, Col d. A. GrOsvenor, Of Washington,
ID. C., who gives his opinion in the following
outspoken words
ABOUT 1916 ne says, L recelTsu an Injury
to the kidneys caused by a severe strain. At
the time of the injury / was barely able to get
about for several days, suffered great pain, and
at times passed blood with my urine. ] got
better, but for three four years after, had
trouble at times, and nay back across the kid
neys became very sore. Whenever j took cold
l felt the trouble, and very often / suffered
severely and was troubled in passing water.
About 1881 / began the use of Warmers Safe
Cure, which effected a. complete cure, since
which time / have had no trouble or weakness
whatever in the region of the kidneys am a
well, sound man to-day"
DR.. L. B. Price, of Hanford, Va, also speaks
from personal experience. He says: Some
years ago was a sufferer from severe kidney
affection. Consulting physicians pronounced
it BTights disease, and some of the most promi-
nent and skillful of our profession treated ne
without the slightest benefit. In despair I
tried several alleged specifics, but got no bet
ter. / also tried celebrated doctors, but still
obtained no relief / then read an account of
Warmers Safe Cure. began its use, and in a
very short time was entirely cured. / have
never since had the slightest symptoms Of my
old and terrible trouble. / have recommended
Warmers Safe Cure to many patients, and in
every case they improved. ] firmly believe
this splendid remedy was the sole means OF
saving my life"
The words of such men cannot be questioned,
they are above dispute; they are strong and
convincing. They prove. beyond the shadow
of doubt, that for relieving those painful
symptoms above described no remedy can COM
pare with the great Safe Cure, which is the
only sure means known to medical science OF
relieving the misery they cause and effeetualY
driving them out of the system.
