Drmocrat: Sir, On the first day or June, 1881, I lay at my residence in this city sur- rounded by my friends and waiting for death, Heaven ouly Kvows the agony i then endured, for words can never describe 1f, Aad yet, if a lew years previous any one had told me that I was to be brought so low, and by so terrible a disease, I should have scoffed at the idea. I had always been unocom- monly strong and healthy, and weighed over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sick. pess were, Very many people who will read this statement realizs at times that they are unusually tired and ocan- sot account for it, They feel dull pains in various parts of the body and do pot understand it, Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite the next, way I felt when the relentless which had fastened itsell upon me first began, Biill I thought nothing of it; would soon pass away, Shortly after this 1 noticed a heavy, and at neuralgic pain in one side of my head but as it would come one day and be gone the next, I paid httle attention t it, Then my stomach would get out of order and my food often failed 10 digest, causing at times great inconvenience Yet, even as a physician, I dil think that tiese things meant anytuiuy serious, 1 fancied I was suffering from maiaria and doctored myself aceord- mngily.

My hiceonghs ceased and I experienced less pain than formerly, 1 was 80 rejoiced at this improved condition that, upon what i had believed but a few days before was my dying bed, I vowed, in the presence of my fsmily and friends, should | recover L would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for the good of humanity, wherever and whenever I had an opportumity, aud this letter is in fulfilment of thal vow, that time, apd in Jess than three mouths I had gained 26 pounds in flesh, becawe entirely free from pain, and 1 believe 1 owe my lie and present condition wholly to Warner's Safe Care, the rem- edy which i used, Since my recovery I have thoroughly re-inveetigated the subject of kidney dificulties aud Bright's disease, and the truths devoloped are asguadiag.
