IT'S USE IN BRIGHTS DISEASE.
In all cases OF Brghts disease where
the Buffalo Lithia water has been used
il has been found of the greatest service.
It's use in the early stages has been de
cidedly eficaclous. and many instances
have been recorded where its use has re-
suited i'm martial restoration and prolonga-
ton of life. when the destruction OF the
kidneys by this insdious disease has been
found 10 be very far advanced. Dr. a.
NJ. Paine, of Woonsocket, r. l., has made
the following statement concerning a
most remarkable cure that came directly
within the scope Of his observation. He
says:

phenomena, excited my gravest apprehen-
sion. Analysis Of the urine both chemi-
cal and microscopic revealed the presence
of an exceptionally large amount OF albu-
men, fully one half Of the urine in bulk,
an abundance of large and small casts

few interruptions, until a permanent cure
was Effected"
GEN. HILLS WONDERFUL CURE.
General James c. Hill, Railroad Com
missioner of the State of Virginia, was
cured Of the same disease solely by the
use of the water of Spring No. ?. In
