San FRANCISCO, March Il 1904.
To the Masonic t'raternities OF Mon

Bright's Disease and Diabetes are
now positively durable. The r%ecoveries
run into the thousands and include
not only many of our best citizens
but the very highest degree Masons
Several Of the %thirty-third degree),
Knights Templars, Shriners, etc.
A sense of duty and love OF their
fellows moved a number OF these to
give us permission to Use their names
in order that the world may know OF
the genuineness of this discovery.
Among them are such men as ex-
Surveyor General Theo. Reichert, N.
w. Spaulding(now deceased) late Pres
ident Spaulding Saw Co., and United
States Sub Treasurer, and A. G. Dear
droff, N. D. General Reichert recov-
cred himself after twelve years of
suffering with Diabetes. N. w. Spauld-
ing's daughter recovered from Bright's
Disease after he had spent thousands
of dollars and years of time and be
lieved her death inevitable. DR.. Dear
dorff had several patients recover
extreme cases of both Bright's Disease
and Diabetes, one of them being an
old school physician.
In the interest OF humanity these
gentlemen have permitted us to take
their afidavits to be given to anxious
inquirers.
