Sm: -1 have read a good many stories of iate concerning the conflnemént of sane persons fn luoal'e asylums, and 4 am thereby prompted to relate a bit of personal experience. In the year 1855, while 1 was serving the Methodist Epsscopal church in a New England tows, &. neighbor's house took fire, In common with others, I stood on the edge of the roof, passing buckets of water, exposed to intense heal on one side and freeze winds on the other, 1 took a fearful cold. For twenty-five years it worked havae 10 my physical ‘and mental systems. . Nevertheless, 1 continued 1n my-mimsterial duties. Ipreached many a sermon when sufferinf 1ntense agony. At certain periods, however, I would be comparatively well, and then again, my head would get heavy, my breathing labored, my appetite fickle. I would lose interest 1n lite; feel sleepy at mid-day, and wakeful at maght. My. heart occasionally gaye me great copcera. Not Enowipg to the contrary, 1 attributed this ill feeling to malaria. But eventually meuisl sirength faded away, and [ was uldrly prostrated. 1 was cauterized, cupped, blistered, and treatéd by many physicians in many different ways. My casé was a puzzle as much to my physicians as to myself. For one of them at first preséribed for dehriom tremens, and yet 1 never had tasted intoxicating liquors, Another said 1 had brain disease, another spinal difficulty, another nervous prostration, heart disease, etc. My mind eventually gave way, and in 1882 I was confined in the Brattleboro, Vi, Insane Asylum for sx months. When release. 1 then made a yist to Oceanic, N J.. but 1 bad reckoned tco much. on my strength. 1 again lost my reason for a considerable penod. evident, sionally and doomed we to an early death, tor no rhysiclan gave me any hope of a cure. .' I fivally found out what my real disorder was, and undertook my own trest- ment: Ina few mouths 1 was restored to such a sate of health as I never expected to enjoy. ‘That ‘was over three years ago, and my physical and mental health have remained intact to this day. fast March 1 came west, and mn garden farming. have not lost a day’s work; have apparent ly enjoyed the most vigorous health and | expect to live the full term of life. The remedy I used was Warner's safe cure, and if 1should hive a thousand years never tire of telling ns praises, You will confess with me, 8:. Editor, that such a change is remarkable. And you will, also, 1 am sure, agree with me, when I say that whatever created such a mental and. physical restoration is deservy- mg the highest praise. Very truly yours, Rev. E. D. HOPKINS.
