To the .Alitor of tte Rochester V.)
Jhmoeral.
Sir: On thofirst day of.Tune, 1881,
I lay at my residence in this city sur
rounded by my friends nod waiting
for death. Heaven only knows tho
agony I then endured, for words can
never desoribo it. And yet, if n few
years previous any ono had told mo
that 1 was to bo brought bo low, and
by so terrible a disease, 1 should havo
scoffed at tho idoa. I had always been
uncommonly strong and healthy, nnd
weighed over 200 pounds, and hardly
know, in my own experience, what
pain or sickness were. Very many
pooplo who will road this statement re
alize at times thoy are unsually tired
and cannot account for it. Thoy feel
dull pains in various parts of tho body
and do not understand why. Or they
mo exceedingly hungry ono day and
(ntirely wttnout appetite tho next.
Tills was just tho way I felt when tho
relentless malady which had fastened
itself upon mo first began. Still 1
thought nothing of it; that probably I
had taken a cold which would soon
pass away. Shortly after this I noticed
a heavy, and at times neuralgic, pain
in one side of my head, but as it would
como one day and bo gono tho next, I
paid little attention to it. Then my
stomach would get out of order and
my food often failed to digest, causing
at times great inconvenience- Yet
even as a physician, I did not think
that these things meant anything
ferious. I fancied I was suffering
from malaria and doctored myself ac
cordingly. IJut I got no better. I
next noticed a peculiar color and odor
about tbo fluids I was passing also
that tbero were largo quantities ono
day and very little tho next, and that
a persistant froth and scum appeared
upon tho surface, and a sediment settled.
And yet I did not realize my danger,
for, indeed seeing these symptons con
tinuully,I finally becamo accustomed to
thou) nnd my suspicion wos wholly dis
armed by the fact that I had no pain
in tho affected organs or iu their vi
cinity. Why I should havo been so
blind 1 cannot understand!
1 consulted tho best medical skill in
tho land. I visited all tho famed min
eral springs in America and traveled
from Maine to California. Still I
grow worse Xo two physicians
agreed as to my malady. One said I
was troubled with spinal irritation, an
other, dyspepsia; another, heart disease;
another," general debility, another, con
gestion of tho base of tho brain; and
so on through a long list of common
diseases, tho symptoms of many of
which I really had. In this way
several years parsed, during which
timo I was steadily growing worse.
My condition had really become piti
able. The slight symptons I at firet
experienced wero developed into terri
ble and constant disorders. My
weight had been reduced from 207 to
130 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 fell to tbo
floor and clutched tho carpet, and pray
ud for deathl Morphine had lit'lo or
no effect in deadening the pain. For
six days nnd nights I had tho deatb
preiiHnitory hiccoughs constantly! My
water was filled with tube-casts and
albumen. I was struggling with Bright's
Disease of the kidneys in its last sta
ges! While suffering thus I received a call
from my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote,
nt that time rector of St. l'aul s Episco
pal church, of this city. I felt that it
was our last interview, but in tho
course of conversation Dr. Footo do
tailed to me tho many remarkable
cures of cases like my own which had
come under his observation. As n
practicing physician and graduate of
the schools, I derided tho idea of any
mcdic'iDO outsido the regular channels
being in the least benificial. So
solicitous however, was Dr. Foote, that
I finaly promised that 1 would waive
my prejudice. I began its use on the
first day of June, 1881, and took it
according to directions. At first it
f-ickened me; but this I thought was a
good sign for one in my debilitated
condition. I continued to tako it; the
sickening sensation departed and I was
finally able to retain food upon my
stomach. In a few days I noticed a
decided chango for the better, as also
did my wife and friends. My hic
coughs ceased and I experienced less
P'.iin than formerly. I was so rejoiced
at this improved condition that, upon
what I bad believed but a lew days
boforo was my dying bed, I vowed in
tho presence of my family and friends,
should I recover I would both publicly
and privately make known this remedy
for tho good of humanity wherever
nnd whenever I had an oportunity, and
this letter is iu fulfillment of that vow.
My improvement was constant from
that time, nnd in less than three mouths
I had gained 20' pounds in flesh, be
came entirely free from pain and I
believe I owo my life and present con
dition wholly to Warrior's safo cure,
the remedy which I used.
Sinoo my recovery I have thoroughly
ro-iuvestiguted the subject of kidney
dilliculties and Bright' disease, and
tho truths developed aro asloundiiiL'.
I therefore state, deliberately, and as a
physician, that I believe more than
one-half the deaths which occur in
America are caused by Jlright'a dis
ease of the kidneys. This may sound
like a rash statement, but 1 am pro
pared to vertify it fully. Urighl's dis
ease has no distinct features of its own
(indeed it often develops without any
pain whatever in tho kidneys or their
viciuitv), but has tho symptoms of
nearly every oilier common complaint
Hundreds of pcopln die daily, whoso
burials aro nutlioiized by a physician's
certificate as occurring from ''Heart
Disease." "Apoplexy," Paralysis.1'
"Spinal Complaint." "Kheumalism,"
"I'lieiiinoiiia ami oilier common com
plaints, when in reality it is from
Bright's disease of tho kidneys. Few
physicians ami fewer people, realize
tho extent ot tins tliseasu or its danger
ous nnd insidious nature. It steals in
to tho system like a thief, manifests
its presenco if nt ell by the' commonest
svmpious and fastens'itself in tho con
stitution before tho victim is awaro of
it. It is nearly as hereditary as con
sumption, quite as common anda fully.
as lata!, unuro lamiues, innuiiiiug it
from their nncestors, have died anil

removing tliem. in.tenu oi common
symptons it often tdiows noue whatever

As ono who has suffered, nnd knows
by bitter experience what ho says, I
Imploio every ono who reads tlieso
words not to neglect tho slightest symp
toms of kidney difficulty, No one can
afford to hazard such chances.
I mako tho foregoing statements
based upon facts which I can substan
tiate to tho letter. Tho wclfaro of those
who may possibly bo sufferers such
as I was is an amplo inducement forme
to tako tho step 1 have, nnd if I can
succcsifully warn others from tho
dangerous pnth in which I oueo walk
ed, I am willing to endure all tho pro
fessional and personal consequences.

Tub Coi.onED Sr.xtoN. Tho soxton
of n Baptist church In a largo Western
city was a good colored brother, who
rarely took part in tho social religions
incotings of tho society; but when ho
did all present held their breath, for
it was well known that somo ono was
to bo "hit on the head," and great
amusement was in storo for tho other?.
On this particular occasion tho sudject
of tho prnycr-meeting was "Christian
Humility.' Mr. Bascom ono of tho
wealthiest church members, while lean
ing ou his gold-headed cano and toy
ing with his elegmt watch chain, con
cluded his remarks, with great affect
ntion of humility, by saying: "If 1 ever
should bo so favored as to reach heaven
at all, it seems to mo that a plnco in
tho most rcmoto section, tho most ob
scure corner, of that blissful region
will bo infinitely more than I.deservo.
And when tho calf comes to me to 'go
no higher,' it seems to mo I shall feel
like putting my hand upcfti my mouth
and my mouth in the dust, and cry
ing out, 'Unclean! unclean!' ''
When ho was seated, tho colored
brother rose in tho rear of tho room,
and slowly advancing, faced tho audi
ence, and thus addressed them: "Brud
ders an' sisters when I hears do angel
Gabri'l blow do trumpet a callin' mo
home, it 'pears to mo I'll bo so power
ful glad I'll just call out, 'Hoi' on dar,
Gabri'l; I hears do trumpet, an' I's
comin' mighty quickl' An' it 'pears to
mo I'll bo ao bustin full objoy I'll
jest go shoutin,' skipin,' leapin' right
up to do front ob do throne as fast as
I kin git dar. An' dar I'll stan' wid
do white robes on, a-wavin' de pnlm
branches, an' a-shoutin' 'Glory! glory!
glory! glory to de Lamb dat was slain!'
For what do do Scriptures say? 'Who
aro deso in whito robes'' 'Dey what
carao up through great tribulations.'
Down hero de black tkin an' do great
tribulations; up dar do whito robe an'
de joy for ebcrmore. Now, my brnd
ders an' sisters, what do do Scriptures
say agin'f Dey say 'what though dey
be black as ink' (or something to dat
effee'), 'dey shall bo whiter (tan snow.'
An' it 'pears to mo I'll bo so powerful

widout distinction ob age, color, or
previous condition ob servitude good
many on 'em I hain't shook no han'

In n retrospection of thirty years in
part oi n farmers family, residing in
one of tlioso beautiful valleys of cen
tral Pennsylvania, separated from
tlieliiisy oulsitlfjvvorld ly tlioso dividing
ildges that foim tho Alleghany rangi',
IjiiC have not yot aspired to tho naino
of mountain. Itearcd midor dr.
ctinistanccs perhaps quite as fh
vorablo as thoio of farmers
families by which wo wero siirroundi'di
wo lovo to recall that primitive lift
and that of tho generation preceding
our own, its simplicity and economy i
Tho hand to hand strtigglo to providi'
for, and cduoato a largo family, the
privation, and lessons of etidurnnce,
nnd hope, held in reserve have been
marvellous helps in after life.
Iu thoso farmers' families of tho past,
sacrifices wero made, habits of rcllect-
ion formed and seed sown which has
produced tho ndvanccd thought.lhatlias
been brought to hear upon every avunuo
of art atidscicnce,andhas culminated in
innumerable inventions to lighten the
toil nnd lessen tho labors of the eo
manry of our land.
To those unpretending farmers'
homes wo aro indebted for such men as
Washincton, Lincoln, Orcelev, Whit-
tier and a long lino of kingly men anil
noble women who roso abovo their
fellow men, whoso lofty aims and
noble deeds and .npirstiniis havo made
tho world bettci, the surroundings
pleasanter, and produced opportuni
ties to satisfy the thirst for knowledge,
which had been denied them, possible
forthoso that followed. In the farmers'
families of the pait, integrity was the
watch 'urd,toil the constant experience
idleness, almost unknown.
In the years 191 anil 1700, enoi ls
wero nut forth, in this state, to estab
lish a state society for agricultural im
provenionts. In'lSOO was held the
first national agricultural society at
Georgetown,, district of Columbia, for
the promotion of domestic and rural
economv. Tim farmer's family of tho
present are the recipients of the im
portant results of those early efforts, in
tho State Hoard of Agriculture, literary
societies, reading clubs and public li
braries. All are the outcomo ot tho
needs the farmer's family of tho past
felt, and strove to overcome.
As our representative men assombie,
to discuss tho mei its and demerits of
subjects peitincnt to intelligent hus-
banury, now questions conunaiiy using
before the old can bo answvied, do
thoy ever discuss a subject txectding
all others in importance, and upon
which depends their success or failure
in lifo 1 Do they discuss how to pro
mote the health, comfort, and edupi
cation of their families, how to provide
homes of taste and refinement, sur
roundings that will impart a good in
fluence, mould the thouchts of the
youncr, and prepare them for the war
faro incident to daily life? Pardon mo
if undue stress is placed upon this.
The responsibilities of the present can
not bo ignored. Tho farmer's family
of the present will furnish tho recruits
in the future.as it has done in the past,
to the executivo mansion, senate cham
bordegislative halls,to the ministry, edi
tors' sanctums, law, banks, and mercan
tile offices : and in tho retirement of
rural homes aro growing up daughters,
worthy to be the helpmeet ot such
who wili bo qualified to give judgment
in all that constitutes tho individuality
of woman. Tho earnest thinking,
farmers wife and uaughtcts of the
present must lift their communities to
higher plains of thought and maintain
tho ground they havo won by forcing
their way into tho higher walks of
literature, and make the way easier tor
succeeding generations.
From the farmer's families of tho
present in possession of a rich inheri
tanco from tho past, wo will pass to
the farmer's families of the future
trom tuis age ot invention, to tno ago
of culture and draw aside tho mystical
vail; and invade this ideal realm of tho
f ii tin e, to find that tho possibilities of
the past and present will iu tho future
become realities. Witli-mt reeapitulat
ing wo will remind tho farmers present
ot uuperlormed duties. surely the
wisdom of the generation wo havo
just passed ftom, will protect the farm
ers families by wholesome laws that
will control, or subdue the awful trallio
of intoxicating liquors, that blasts the
hopes of so many families, and casts a
shadow over every heart. The cul
ture of the tobacco plant will, also bo
prohibited by law. Its pernicious use
will no longer impair the physical ard
dwijrf the intellectual powers of those
upon wnom llio burden ot maintaining
this government must rest.
iho question of the inferiority of
woman will no longer bo mooted.
Time, women, and intelligent men will
have grappled with and settled it. In
her true sphere! she will, in the future
1)0 tho acknowledged equal of ram, in
eltgiutiii, domestic and ciwl altairs and
iu all of the refoini movements and
lawful avocations of life.
Compulsory laws will exist in regard
to attendance at public schools, where
industrial training will torm tho true
basis of all teaching. This kind of
training will help all to become self
supporting and thus suppress vagrancy
and crime in this favored era. Pro
tection to the sanctity of the lioiuea
scattered over this great prairiea of the
west, on pleasant hillsides and lovely
valleys of the east will be secured.
Then, indeed, will tho farmer's familv
become the bulwark of tho great re
public. Ilia will bu an Arcadian life,
such as inspired tho poet, Longfellow,
and wo will all apiro to that "true
grandeur of nations'' of which the
gifted Charles Sumner had piophetio
visions, and, freed from tho harassing
cares and anxiety of citv life, will form
such home cenlies that no member
will over wander from their over-shad
owing arch.

Precautions Against Small Pox In Perm
svlvauln. Tho following iiiiportant ciroulnr,
issued liy ilia Slnto Hoard of Hcnllti,
conlniim eiiyycstloiia of value to all.
In vlow of llio ppidemlii of gniall-iiox
now ranlntr with hhcIi fearful niallir-
nity in thu Dominidti of Canada, nnd
of tliu ciKo with wliiuli this loalho
soino dideapo oould bo traiiponcd in n
fow liourii, by direct railroad communi
cation, into our cities and bonus, tho
Statu Hoard of Ili allli feols il to bo its
imperative duty to issue certain mig
titiuiia nid U'f'iilaliiiiii compliance
Willi which will render our entire pop
ulation absolutely proof against the iu
fcclion PULVr.NTIVF. PltKOAfTIOSS.
Vnecliiallon is, of course, tho 0110
and tho only picvcnlntive.i Fortun
ately, tlio pooplo of this Common
wealth, aro bo generally well informed
and intelligent, that th'ero is 110 reason
to nnnrehciid a repetition of tlio
disgraceful pccnea of riot and blood
shed, which have just been enao'.od
acios tho border, in tho ii;iiorant at
tempt to thwart tho benellcial efforls
of tho holUlh authorities lo check tlio
spread of tho pestilence. Hut careless
nes and neglect tuny reap as baneful
a harvest as criminal opposition. Con
vinced of this, the board' at its very
first meeting passed .1 resolution in
structing tho secretary to prepare a
circular warning tho people of this
Slato of the prime necessity ot vacci
nation. Nothing is certain in this
but, next to tho rising of tbo sun, noth
ing ismoro absolutely certain than tho
fact that thorough vaccination, with
reliable lymph, lepcatud with sufficient
frequency, is a sure preventative
against small-pox. And tho fact next
in order of positiveness is, that carelnl
vaccination with pure lymnh ill con
vey to a poison susceptible of small
pox, tho vaccine diaeaso or cow-pox,
and no other disease. Hence, First.
U is important that vaccination should
bo performed bv an educated physi-
ci in, in otder to determine that tlio
ymph ued is pure and reliable, es
pecially it taken from a human liciug,
(liunruii7.ed lymph) and that the vaoc.i-
alum h is thoroughly taken, boconil-
lvjif bovine (heifer) lymph is pre
ferred, it should bo obtained from an
entirely reliable source, in order that
it may be, (first.) free from all impuri
ties, nnd, (secondly) lively and efficient.
PIUX'AlITIO.V IN KKOARII TO INFANTS.
Every infant should be vaccinated
within three months after its birth tin-
ess an educated physician advises lo
the coniiary. Should the first attempt
fail, it should bo repealed at intervals
of a fortnight until a true sore is pro
duced. PRECAUTION IN lllKIARH TO (.'MII.IIHKN.
Every child should bo re-vaccinated
before it reaches its twelfth vear.
No child should bo allowed to enter
any school, public or private, who has
not been vaccinated within tho speci-
uea time, llio lollowinc rules aro
recommended for adoption by all pub
lie school boards and trustees:
I. Eierv child enieriiitj the public
schools of must 'ive satis
factory evidence of protection aaainst
small pox, or be excluded until the
rulo is complied with.
il. the fact of vaccination and pro
tection shall bo entored with each
namo on the school record and on
transfer or promotion lists.
HI. Intt-rcourso between tho school
and a family or honso whore there is
a case of small-pox must be forbidden
until 0flici.1l permission is mven.
IV. Every school teacher or school
officer who discovers a ease of this
disease among the attendants on tho
school must report the fact immediate
ly to the local lioaril ot Health, or, it
there bo 110 local Hoard, to tho
State Hoard of Health.
Until tho Legislature, expressly by
statute, confers this authority on school
hoards, teachers or ollicers. llio order
of ibis board is a sufficient sanctum.
Hoards deci-ling to exerc'i6o this power
should pass n resolution to that effect,
and post a notice for at least ten days,
in two or moro conspicuous places,
within tho limits of their respective
school board or distiict organizations.
Such notice should offer freo vacina
lion to all who aro unable to pay.
I'HECAUTIO.NS IN RKCAItD TO ADULTS.
Every adult should bo re-vaccinated
onco 111 seven yearo.
In addition to tho above the report
also contains precautions in tho imme
diate presence of on epidemic, a form
of leport to bo mado to tho state board
of health aud to tho local board, when
small-pox first makes its appearance j
also precautions when the disease lias
onco made its appearance in tho com
munity : as well also a number ol dis
infecting solutions to be used at places
where tlio diseao is in force. Tho
State Hoard of Health is located at 313
