Heaven or.iy knows tile agony 1 then endured, for words can never describe it. And yet. if a few years previous any one had told me that I was to be brought so iow, and by so terrible adisea-e, 1 should havescoifed at the idiHL. i baa always been uncommonly un-commonly strong' and healthy, and weighed over I pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will road this statement j realize at limes that they are unusually tired and cannot account for it. They feel dull pains in various parts of tiie body and do not understand why. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite ther.ext. This was ju?t tho way 1 feit when tho relentless malady which had fastened itself upon me iirst began. Still I thought nothing- of it; that probably J had taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed no-ticed a heavy, and at limes neuralgic, pain in one side of my head, but as it would come one day and be gone tho next I paid liltle attention to it. Then my stomach would pet out of order and my food often failed to di- gest, can- ing tit times eat inconvenience. inconveni-ence. Yet. even as a physician, 1 did not think that these thing's lueantany-thinsr lueantany-thinsr serious. 1 fancied I was suffering' suffer-ing' from malaria and doctored myself ;;ccordingly. lint 1 got no better. 1 next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the Cuius I was passing also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and tiiat a persistent froth and scum appeared on the surface, and a sediment settled. And yet 1 did not realize my danger, for, indeed, Seeing' these symptoms continually. 1 finally became accustomed accus-tomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that I had no pain in the alfected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind I cannot understand. I consulieii the best medical skill in tho Innu. 1 visiii-d nil tho fumed min-oi'iil min-oi'iil I'jii-itijs in America and traveled from Maine to California. Still I grew woie. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. Ono said I was troubled trou-bled with spinal irritation; another, dyspepsia; another, heart disease; another, an-other, general debility; another, con-ire.-tion of the base of the brain; and so on through a lon list of common diseases, dis-eases, the symptoms of many of which I really had. In this way several years passed, during which time I was steadily stead-ily growing worse. My condition had reaiiy become pitiable. The slight symptoms I had at iirst experienced were developed into terrible and constant con-stant disorders, ily weight had been reduced from 207 to ICO pounds. My life was a burden to myself and friends. I could retain no food on my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulse was uncontrollable. In my agony I frequently fre-quently fell to the lloor and clutched the carpet and prayed for death. Morphine Mor-phine had little or no effect in deadening deaden-ing the pain. For six days and nights 1 had the death premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My water was filled with tube casts and albt.mcn. I was struggling strug-gling with Bright's Disease of the kidneys kid-neys in its last stages!" Whilo suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, tho Kev. Dr. Foote, at that time rector of St. Tain's Episcopal church, of this city. I felt that it was our last interview, but in the course of conversation Dr. Footo detailed to me tho many remarkable cures of ca-s like my own which had come under his observation. As a practicing prac-ticing physician and a graduate of the schools, 1 derided the idea of any medicine med-icine outside the regular channels being be-ing in the least beneficial. So solicitous, solicit-ous, however, was Dr. Foote, that I linally promised I would waive my prejudice. I began its use on tho first day of June, 1881, and took it according accord-ing to directions. At first it sickened nie; but this I thought was a good sign for ono in my debilitated condition. I continued to take it; the sickening sensation sen-sation departed and 1 was finally able to retain food upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed a decided change for the better, as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and I experienced less pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this improved condition that, upon what 1 had believed but a few days before was my dying bed, I vowed, in the presence pres-ence of my family and friends, should I recover, I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for the good of humanity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity, and this letter is in fulfillment of that vow. My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than threo months I had gained 26 pounds in flesh, became entirely free from pain and I believe I owe my life and present pres-ent condition wholly to Warner's Safe Cure, the remedy which I used. Since my recovery I have thoroughly re-investigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright's disease, and the truths developed are astounding. therefore state, deliberately, and as a physician, that I believo more than one-half the deaths which occur in America are caused by Bright'n disease dis-ease of the kidneys. This may sound like a rash statement, but I am prepared pre-pared to fully verify it. Bright's disease dis-ease has no distinctive features of its own (indeed, it often develops without a.iy pain whatever in the kidney3 or their vicinity), but has tho symp'ems of nearly every other common can-plaint. can-plaint.
