A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Remarkable Statement of Personal Han
ger and Providential Escapr.
The following story—which is attracting
wide attention from the press —is so remark
able that we cannot excuse ourselves if we do
not lay it bffibre our readers, even though
its length would ordinarily preclude its ad
mission to our limited space:
To the Editor Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat.
Sir— On the first day of June, 1881, I lay
at my residence in this city surrounded by
my friends and waiting for death. Heaven
only knows the agony I then endured, for
words can never describe it. And yet, if
a few 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 uncommonly
strong and healthy, and weighed over 200
pounds, and hardly knew, in my own ex
perience, wiiat 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 it. Or they are exceedingly
hungry one day and entirely without appe
tite the next. This was just the way I tell
when the relentless malady which had fas
tened itself upon me 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 come one day and be
gone the 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 serious. 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 that a persistent froth and
scum appeared upon the surface, and a
sediment settled. And yet I did not realize
my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symp
toms continually, I finally became accus
tomed to them, and my suspicion was
wholly disarmed by the tact that I had no
pain in the affected organs or in their vi
cinity. Why I should have been so blind I
cannot understand.
I 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 as to my malady. One
said I was troubled with spinal irritation;
another, dyspepsia; another heart disease;
another, general debility; another, conges
tion of the base of the brain, and so on
through a long list of common diseases, the
symptoms of many of which I really had.
In this wav several years passed, during
which time I was steadily growing worse.
My condition had really become pitiable.
The slight symptoms I at first experienced
were develojied into terrible and constant
disorders. My weight had been reduced
from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was a
burden to myself and friends. 1 could re
tain no food on my stomach, and lived
wholly by injections. I was a living mass
of pain. My pulse was uncontrollable lu
my agony I frequently fell to the floor and
clutched the carpet, and prayed for death.
Morphine had little or no effect in
ing the pain. For six days and night 1 had
the death premonitory hiccoughs constantly.
My water was filled with tube casts and albu
men. I was struggling with Bright’s Des
ease of the Kidneys in its last stages.
While suffering thus I received a cal;
from my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, at that
time rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church,
of this city. I felt that it was our last inter
view, but in the course of conversation Dr.
Foote detailed to me the many remarkable
cures of cases like my own which had come
under his observation, by means of a reme
dy, which he urged me to try. As a practi
cing physician and a graduate of the schools,
I derided the idea of any medicine outside
the regular channels being in the least bene
ficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr.
Foote, that I finally promised I would waive
my prejudice. I began its use on the first
day of June, 1881, and took it according to
directions. At first it sickened me; but this
I thought was a good sign for one in my
debilitated condition. I continued to take it;
the sickening sensation departed and I was
finally able to retain food upon my stomach.
In a few days 1 noticed a decided change for
the better, as also did my wife and friends.
My hiccoughs ceased and 1 experienced less
pain than formerly. I was so 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 family
and friends, should I recover I would both
publicly and privately make known this
remedy for the good of humanity, wherever
and whenever I had an opportunity, and
this letter is in fulfillment of that vow. My
improvement was constant from that time,
and in less than three months I had gained
26 pounds in flesh, became entirely free from
pain and I believe I owe my life and present
condition wholly to Warner’s Safe Cure, the
remedy mhich I used.
Since my recovery I have thoroughly re
investigated the subject of kidney difficul
ties and Bright’s disease, and tbe truths de
veloped are astounding. I therefore state,
deliberately, and as a physician, that I be
lieve “more than one-half the deaths whi:h
occur in America are caused by Bright’s
disease of the kidneys.” This may sound
like a rash statement, but 1 am pre
pared to fully verify it. Bright’s disease
has no distinctive symptoms of its own, (in
deed, it often develops without any pain
whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity,)
but has the symptoms of nearly every other
common complaint.. Hundreds of people
die daily, whose burials are authorized by a
physician’s certificate as occurring from
“Heart Disease,” “Apoplexy,” “Paralysis,”
“Spinal Complaint,” “Rheumatism,”
“Pneumonia,” and other common com
plaints, which in reality is from Bright’s
disease of the kidneys. Few physicians, and
fewer people realize the extent of this dis
ease or its dangerous and insidious nature.
It steals into the system like a thief, mani
fests its presence if at all by the commonest
symptoms and fastens itself upon the consti
tution before the victim is aware of it. It
is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite
as common and fully as fatal. Entire fam
ilies, inheriting it from their ancestors, have
died, and yet none of the number knew or
realized the mysterious power which was
removing them. Instead of common symp
toms it often shows none whatever,
but b-ings death suddenly, from
convulsions, apoplexy or heart dis
ease. As one who has suffered, and knows by
bitter experience what (he says, I implore
every one who reads these words not to ne-
THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, MON’D Y, JANUARY 26, 1885.
glect the slightest symptoms of kidney dif
ficulty. Certain agony and probable death
will be the sure result of such neglect, and
no one can afford to hazard such chances.
I am aware that such an unqualified
statement as this, coining from me, known
as I am throughout the entire land as a
practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the sur
prise and possible animosity of the medical
profession and astonish all with whom I am
acquainted, but I make the foregoing sta’e
ments based upon facts which I am prepared
to produce and truths which I can substan
tiate to the letter. The welfare of those
who may possibly be sufferers such as I. was
is an ample inducement for me to take the
step I have, and if I can successtully warn
others from the dangerous path in which
I once walked, I am willing to endure all
professional and personal consequence.
