Remarkable Statement of Personal Da*, ear and Providential Escape. The following story—which is attracting wide atten ion from toe press—is ourselves so remark¬ if able that we cannot excuse we do not lay it before our readers, entire. To the Editor Rochester (N. T.) Democrat: Sip.—O n the first, day of June, 1881, 1 lay at my residence in tnis city surrounded by my friends and waiting for death. Heaven oniy knows the ayonv I then endured, for words can never describe it. And yet, if a few years previous any one had told tn9 that I was to be brought so low, and by so ter¬ rible a disease, I should have scoffed at the idea. I ha 1 al ways been uncommonly strong and healthy, and weigned over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize at times that they are unusually tired and cannot account for it. They feel dull pains in various parts of the body and do not understand why. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite the next. This was just, the way I felt when the relentless malady which hail fastened it¬ self upon me first began. Still I thought nothing of it, tbat 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 woula come one day and bo gone the next, I paid little attention te it. Then my stomach would get out of order and my food often failed to digest, Yet, causing at times great sician, inconvenience. I did not think that even these as a things phy¬ meant anything ser.ous. I fancied I was suffering from malaria and doctored myself accordingly. But I got no better I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing—also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and tbat a persistent frotii and scum appeared on the sur.ace, and a sediment settled. And yet I did not realize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, I finally became wholly accustomed disarmed to them, and my suspicion was by tne tact that I had no pain in tne affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind 1 cannot under¬ stand 1 consulted the best medical skill in the land. I visited all the famed mineral springs in America and traveled from Maine to California. Still I grew worse. No two physicians agreed troubled as with to my spinal malady. One said I was irritation; another, dyspepsia: debility; another, another, he.rt disease; another, geuerat of the brain; and conges¬ tion of the base so on through a long list of common diseases, the symptoms of many of which X ready lisa. In this way several years passe i, during which time I bad was steauily become growing pitiable. worse. My condition really had The slight symptoms 1 at first experi¬ enced were developed into terrible and con¬ stant disorders. My weight had been re¬ duced from 207 to 120 pounds. My life was a burden to myself and friends. I could retain no food on my stomach, and I lived wholly by injections. pulse 1 uncontroiable. was a liviug mass In of pain. My frequently was fell the floor and my agony I to clutched the carpet, little and prayed for deadening deatu. Morp ine had or no effect in the [lain. For six days and nights 1 had the death-premonitory filled hiccoughs tube-casts constantly. and My water was with with Bright’s aibumeu. 1 was struggling disease of the kidneys in its iast stages! While suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, at tnat time rector of St. Paul’s Ep.scopal Church, interview, of this city. 1 felt that it was our last but in tne course of conversation Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkaola cures of cases like my own which had come under his observation. As a practicing pnys.cian and a graduate of the schools, I derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels being in the least beneficial. So so.icitious, however, was Dr. Foote, that I finally prom¬ ised I would waive ray prejudice. I began its use on the fir3t day of June, 1881, and took it according to directions. At first it sickened me; but this 1 thought was a good sign for me in rri’y debilitated condition. I continued to lake it; the sickening sensation departed and I was finally able to retain food upon my stomach. In a tew days I noticed a decided change for the better, as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased arid i experienced less pain tuun formerly. I was so rejoiced at this improved condition that, upon what I nad believed but a few days be.ore was my dying bed, I vowed in the presence of my famdy ani friends, should 1 recover, I would both puoliciy and privately ina.;e know tnis remety for the good of numanity, wherever and wnenever I had an opportunity, and this letter is in ful¬ fillment 0 . that vow. My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than three months I had gained twenty-six pounds in flesh, became entirely free trom pain and I beueve 1 owe ray life and present condition wholly to Warner a Safe Cure, the remedy whica I usea. office my recovery I have thoroughly re¬ investigated the subject o; kidney truths difficulties an t Bright’s disease, and the devel¬ oped are astounding. I therefore state, de¬ liberately, and as a physici n, that I believe more than one-half the deaths which occur in America are caused by Bright's like disease of the kidneys. This may sound a rash statement, out tarn prepared to fully verify it. Bright’s disease has no distiuctiva feat¬ ures of its own (indeed, it otten develops i.utuout any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but has the symptoms of near!/ every other die com non complaint. Hum Ire Is of people physician’s daily, whose certificate burials are authorize t by a as occurring from “Heart Disease,” “Apo¬ plexy,” “Raeunatism,” “Paralysis,” “Pneumonia,” Spinal Complaint,” uni older co nmo'i co nplaints, xvaen in reality it is from Bright disease of the kidnavs. Few physicians, and fewer oeople, realize the ex tent of this disease or its dangerous and in sidious nature. It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its pres ence if at aU by the commonest sympto ns and fastens itself in the constitution before the victim is aware of it. It is nearly as hereditary as consump¬ tion, quite as common and fully as fatal. Entire families, inueriting it from their an¬ cestors, have die.), and yet none of the nu n ber knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of com¬ mon symptoms it often shows none what¬ ever, but orin-gs death suddenly, from con¬ vulsions, apoplexy or heart disease. As one who has suffered, and knows bv its bitter ex¬ perience who reads wnat he says, 1 imofore everyone these words not to neglect the slightest sympto ns of kidnev difficulty. No one can afford to hazard such chances’ I make the foregorag statements based upon facts which I can substantiate to the letter. The welfare of those who may pos¬ sibly bs suffarers such as 1 was, is an ample inducement for me to take the step I have, and if I can successfully warn others from the I dangerous willing path in which I once walked. am to endure all professional and personal consequences J.

The English come next, with an average of a little over 110 pounds. The French eat only half as much meat as the English, and the people of Germany, Austria and Italy still less. The Longest Day. It is quite important when speaking of the longest day in ihe year, to say what part of the woild we are speaking about, as will be seen by reading the following list, which tells the length of the longest day in several piaces. How uufoitunate are children of Torneo, Finland, where Christmas day is less than three hours in length! Stockholm, Sweden, it is 1SJ hours At in length. At Spitzberken the longest day is 3$ months. At London, England, and Bremen, Prussia, the longest day hai 1(5^ hours. At Hamburg, in Germany, and Danzig, in Prussia, the longest day has 17 hours. At Wardburv, Norway, the longest day lasts from May 21 to July 22, without in¬ terruption. Russia, and Tobolsk, At St. Petersburg, hours, Siberia, the longest day is 19 and the shorti st, 5 hours. At Torneo, Finland, June 21 Christmas brings a day nearly 22 hours long, and one less than three hours in length. At New York the longest day is about 15 hours, and at Montreal, Canada, it is 16.— Selected. There are only about twenty really great diamonds in the world.
