"How Ion* bave yo4 known of tbis rem­ edy,. Doctor?" I asked. •Nearly ten years," he replied. "My at­ tention was originally called to the Sate Cure by a serious css«» of Bright*s disease, which was considered bopeles*. and yet, much to my surprise, under Its use the patient recovered. I have tried it In otner <case«« since then constantly, and my original faith in its power has been con­ firmed. I have seen natienls recover from Inflammai Ion of i"he bladder, gravel, and Bright'* disease when all other treatment had failed, and I have found it especially efficient in all female troubles." "Can you specify any particular case* Doctor?" I asked. «Tliat is a delicate thing to do,"" the Doc­ tor replied; "but, as I always keep a written record of my cases, I can accom­ modate you." Thereupon the Doctor opened his desk and produced his iccord book. Turning over the leaves he said: "Here is a case of a gentleman who was a great sufferer from Inflammation of the bladder of long standing. Me had oon- euited a nutrber of physicians without benefit When first consulted I myself tried the usual methods of treatment, but without success, and I finally advised him 'to try Warner's Safe Cure. He ffft better from the start, and in a few weeks was •entirely cured." The Doctor turned a few pages further, and then said: "Here Is another case. It is that of a gentleman who bad frequent attacks of renal calculi, which, as you know, is gravel forming in the kidneys. He had never been able to prevent these formations, hot after an unusually severe attack I recommended him to try the Safe Cure, which he did, and. although It is three yea{J since he took the remedy, he has never had an at- tack since." The Doctor continued to turn the leaves of his book, and suddenly exclaimed: "Here is a most remarkable case. It Is that of a lady who had Buffered for some time from Bright's disease. She bccame enciente. and atx ut the fourth month sud­ denly became blind, bad convulsions, and finally fell into a state of coma, caused by uremic or kidney poison. Several physi­ cians who saw her said she could net live, and in this view I fully concurred. As she could still swallow I naid. as a Jast resort, that they might try Warntr's Safe Cure. Tney did so, and to the surprise of every one she recovered. She has since given birth to a living child, and is perfectly well." "Those are certainly most wonderful cases, Doctor," 1 said, "and while I do not for a moment question their authenticity I should consider it a great favor if you would give me their names. I think the importunes of the subject would fully Justify It," "In the interest of other sufferers I think you are correct." Dr. Gunn finally obser* ed, after a moment's thought. "Botli the lady and her husband are so rejoiced, S3 grate­ ful over her recovery, that I know she is only too glad to have others bear of It The lady is Mrs. Eames. wife of the well-known costumer. She was not only restored but is in perfect health to-day."
