Remarkable Statement of Personal

Tn fhp Editnr Rochester (N. Y. Democrat:
Sir On the first day of June, 1881,
I lav at my residence in this city sur-
. . . . . i ' i ':

death. Heaven only knows the agony
I then endured, for words can never de
scribe it. And yet, if a few years pre-
a nvnna had' told me that I was to

idea. I had always been uncommumj
strong and healthy, ana weigneu uvw

less malady which had fastened itself

nothing of it ; that probably I had taken
o nnld 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

was suffering from malaria and doctor
o,l mvsplf nccnrdinelv. But 1 got no
better. I next noticed a peculiar color
nnd odnr about the fluids I was passing
also that there were large quantities
nnp. dav and verv little the next, ana
that a persistent froth and scum ap
peared upon the sunace, anu cu
mnt. flAt.t.lfid. And vet I did not real
ize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these
symptoms continually, I finally became
accustomed to them, and my suspicion
was wholly disarmed by the fact mat i
Via Tin rmin in the affected organs or in
their vicinity. Why I should have been
" 30 blind I cannot understand.
I consulted the best medical skill in
the land. I visited all the famed min
eral springs in America and traveled
from Maine to California. ' btill 1 grew
worse. No two physicians agreed as to
my malady. One said I was troubled
with spinal irritation ; another dyspep
sia? another, heart disease: another,
general debility ; another, congestion of
the base of the brain ; and so on through
a long list of common diseases, the
svmntoma of man? of which I really
had. In this way several years passed,
during which time I was steadily grow
ing worse. Mv condition had.really be
come pitiable. The slight symptoms I
at first experienced were developed into
terrible and constant disorders. My
weight had been reduced from 207 to
130 pounds. My life was a burden to
myself and friends. I could retain no
food on my stomach, and uvea wnony
by injections. I was a living mass of
pain. My pulse was uncontrollable. In
my agony I frequently fell to the floor
and clutched the carpet and prayed for
death. Morphine had little or no effect
in deadening the pain. For six days
and nights I had the death premonitory
hiccoughs constantly. My water was
filled with tube-casts and albumen. I
was struggling with Bright's disease of
the kidneys in its last stages !
While suffering thus I received a call
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 interview, but in the course of
conversation Dr. Foote detailed to me
the man y remarkable cures of cases like
my own which had come under his ob
servation, by means of a remedy, which
he urged me try. As a practicing phy
sician and a graduate f the schools, I
derided the idea of any medicine out
side the regular channels being in the
least beneficial. So solid tious, how
ever, was Dr. Foote, that I finally prom
ised I would waive my prejudice. I be
gan itsuse on the first day of June, 1881,
anl took it according to directions. At
first it sickened me ; but this I thought
was a good sign for one in my debilitat
ed condition. I continued to take it;
the Bickening sensation departed and I
was finally able to retain food upon my
stomach. In a few days I noticed a de
cided change for the better, as also did
my wife and friends. My hiccoughs
ceased and l experiencedJess pain than
formerly. I was so rejoiced at this im
proved 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 f riendshould I recover I
would both publicly and privately make
known this remedy for Mie good of hu
manity, wherever and whenever I had
an opportunity, and this letter is in ful
fillment 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 War
ner's Safe Cure, the remedy which I
'. Used.'. -r- - - ;
, Since my recovery I have thoroughly
re-investigated the subject of kidney
difficulties and Bright's disease, and the
truths developed are astounding. I
therefore state, deliberately, and as a
physician, that I believe more thin one
half the deaths which occur in America
are caused by Bright's disease of the kid
" neys. This may sound like a rash state
ment, but I am prepared to fully verify
it. Bright's disease has no distinctive
symptoms of its awn (indeed, 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 peo
ple die daily, whose burials are author
ized by a physician's certificate as oc
curring from "Heart; Disease," "Apo
plexy," " Paralysis," ' " Spinal Com
plaint,"" Rheumatism," " Pneumonia,"
and other common complaints, when in
reality it is from Bright's disease of the
kidneys. Few physicians, and: fewer
people realize the extent of this disease
or its dangerous and insiduous nature. It
steals into the system like a thief, man
ifests its presence, if at all, by the com
monest symptoms and fastens itself up-
on the constitution before the "victim is
aware of it. It is nearly as hereditary
as consumption, quite as common and
fully as fatal. Entire families, inherit
jng fr0m their ancestors, have died,
and yet none of the number knew or
realized the mysterious power which
was removing them, instead ot com-
nion symptoms it olten shows none
whatever, but brings death suddenly,
m cony apoplexy or heart
disease. As one who. has suffered, and
knows bv bitter experience what he
says, l implore every one who reaas
these words not to neglect the slightest
symptoms of kidney difficulty. 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, coming from me
known as I am throughout the entire
land as a practitioner and lecturer, wil
f. . . possible ani,
mositvo the medical profession and as-
tonish all with whom I am acquainted
but I make the foregoing statements
based upon facts which I am prepared
to produce and truths which I can sub-
gtantiate to the letter. The welfare
those who may possibly be sufferers
gucft as l was, is an ampie inducement
f0r me take to the step l have, ana it
can successfully warn others from the
dangerous path m which I once walked,

TASTE AND ETIQUETTE.
Showing Tlnt Different Peron Attach
Entirely Different Meanings to the
' Words Constituting: the Caption Hereof.
Different persons have entirely differ
ent opinions in regard to taste and
etiquette. Some are sticklers for cer
tain manifestations of good breeding,
while others lay stress upon other and
quite dissimilar rules of behavior. For
instance:
There are men who would be
ashamed to eat with their knives, even
in private, but who will talk at the top
of their voices in the public reading
room. And men who, though they would
scorn to remain seated in a horse-car
fth'le a pretty girl is standing, will
throw a banana skin on tho sidewalk,
regardless of the inevitable conse
quence.
And women
who are scrupulouslv
neat as to their hands and fingers, but
who will, nevertheless, persist in wear
ing the biggest hat at the theater that
they can get hold of.
And women who sing like seraphs,
and yet will they keen the car. window
wide open though they know that it
means pneumonia to one-half of theu
fellow-passengers, and catarrh and sore
throat to the other half.
" And women whose conversation is a
1 beral education and perennial delight
to the Tstener, and yet their hair pre
sents first-class presumptive evidence
that it has had no acquaintance wit!
comb and brush for a month, at least.
And men who never forget to lift
their hats to a lady, but who can not b
trusted with impunity for a dollar.- :
And men who would die rather than
eat their soup from the end of theii
spoon, but who will lie like Ananias
upon the slightest provocation.
And men who are scrupulously care
ful to sfive a lady the inside of the
walk, and yet think nothing of calling
upon you at your busiest hour and bor
ing you until you wish they were dead.
Ana women wno would, never pre
sume to help themselves at table until
everybody else is supplied, who will
nevertheless say the spitefulest things
imaginable about their dear friend be-
hind her back. -
Ana Doys wno never iorget to say
"les, sir," and "les'm," but who are
taken with sudden sickness the mo
ment they are asked to do an errand
for their mothers.
And girls who do not have to be
coaxed to play upon the piano before
company, but who will turn around
and giggle when a strange man makes
remarks about them in the street.
And men who would not clean their
nails in public, but who will shove s
pewter quarter on to a blind man.
And men who always say "beg par
don" before telling you you lie, and
who nevertheless will inevitably fail to
remember to pay their butcher bills.
And men who would never interrupt
another while he is speaking, but who
wui advise their best friend to invest in
a worthless stock, simply because they
have some of that stock which they
wish to dispose of.
And men who are too polite to look
over your shoulder when you are writ
ing, who think nothing of registering
false oath at the custom-house almost
daily.
Many more instances might be ad
duced, but tha above will suffice to
show that we do not all think alike up
on tnese little matters of etiquette. Bos

How to Preserve Sheep-Pelts.
Where farmers kill but a few sheep
during 'the season they can make better
use of the pelts than to sell them if they
know how to preserve them. For mats
take two long-wooled skins and make a
strong suds, using hot water; when it
is cold wash the skins in it, carefully
squeezing them between the hands to
get the dirt out of the wool; then wash
the soap out with clear, cold water.
Then d ssolve alum' and salt,each a
half pound.with a little hot water suffi
cient to. cover the skins, and then let
them soak in it over night for twelve
hours; then ha.ng over a pole to drain.
When they are well drained spread or
stretch carefully over a board to dry.
When a little damp have one ounce
each of saltpeter and alum pulverized,
and sprinkle on the feh side of each
skin, rubbing in well; thenlay the flesh
sides together and hang in the shade
for two or three days, turning the under
skin uppermost every day until perfect
ly dry; then scrape the flesh side with a
blunt knife to remove- any remaining
scraps of flesh. Trim off projecting
points; rub the fle? h sides with the
hands. They also make good mifens.
Lamb skins, or even steep-skini, if the
wool be trimmed off evenly to half or
throe-fourths inch long,,make beautiful
and warm mittens for ladies and gentle
men, and the girls with a little practice
can make them. Cfcicao Times

HEALTH, WEALTH AUD HAPPIIfESS
Are more intimately connected with a
sound stomach and good condition of the
blood than most pepl suppose. Thin
blood means weakness, languor and mis
ery. A dyspeptic stomach means all the
horrors you can think of. - Brown's Iron
Bitters means enriched blood, good diges
tion, healthy appetite, sweet eleep and vig
orous strength. Mr. Henry Uallam. South
Seventeenth ; street, St. Louis, says:
"Brown's Iron Bitters relieved me of
dyspepsia, purified my blood, and gave me
an appetite." Thousands of others testify
in the same way.

In this disease, aa every one is aware,
the only hope of the patient lies in the es
tablishment ol a higher vital condition.
Efforts are made to reach this through
out-door exercise, and by various other
means for improving the general health
which are known to invalids and physi
cians. Now, in the Vitalizing Treatment
of Pre. Starkey & Palen, 1109 Girard
Street, Philadelphia, has been discovered
an agnt that gives directly this h'gher
vitality, which generally becomes appar
ent at the very outset of its use. This is

satisfactory evidence or this, send to Drs.
Starkey & Palen for such documents and

-The volcano Kiiawea, on the Island
of Hawaii, is 14,000 feet high and is said
to be ajrain showing a bad disposition.
Five years ago it gave the town of Hile
a free show, which it ended by running
down the curtain of oblivion on the
town itself. The mass of lava was half
a mile in width, thirty to fifty feet in
thickness, and buried Hile much as
Vesuvius did Pompeii.
-A story came to me the other day
of an eneineerinsr nartv in Dakota that
had seated themselves at their dinner
table in a tent, when a party of cow
boys rode up. One of them dismounted,
and thrusting his pistol in the miudle of
a rice pudding that was placed in the
center of the table, called out: "Who
ever wants pudding must ask me." No
one seemed to care for dessert that day.

HOW PALE YOU ARE!
Is frequently the exclamation of one lady
to another. The fact is not a pleasant one
to have mention, but still the act may be a
kindly one for it sets the one addressed to
thinking, apprises her or the tact that she
is not in good health, and leads her to
seek a reason therefor. Pallor is almost
always attendant upon the first stages of
consumption, lhe system is enfeebled,
