JURY OF PHYSICIANS BRIGHT'S DISEASE “They were not genuine rases of Bright’s disease.” Then how about rases like this: K. C Pell cor. ^Broadway and Bat tery streets, is manager of one of San Francisco's big corporations. His son had Bright's disease. The father had two different physicians one of them an Army Surgeon, on the case. Patient was greatly swollen with dropsy and the doctors declared the case Bright's and incurable. He thereupon put the patient on Fulton’s Renal Compound. He began to mend and in six months was well The father could hardly credit it and had two different physicians exam ine the patient and analyze the sam ples. Both reported it normal. Thus a Jury of physicians decided that the patient had Bright’s disease and was incurable and another Jury of physicians later determines his recovery. As to permanence this w'as eight years ago and the patient is now in business in San Francisco. If you have Bright’s disease do you not owe it to yourself and family to try Fulton’s Renal Compound before giving up? It can be had at Edmond son Drug Co. Ask for pamphlet or write John J.
