A Modern Miracle.

The following interesting and instructive letter from a widely : known and respected gentleman who has been very near to death, will-be read with interest:— i To the Editor of the Auckland Stak, Sir,—Por .three years previous to May, 1586,1 gradually failed in, health, without knowing the cause. I consulted the best physicians in Ballan, Creswick, ; Chines, Sandhurst, Kynetonu and Melbourne ; they gave, different 'names to my trouble, but none of them helped me, and gradually failing in strength, it Was only natural that I became somewhat discouraged. My symptoms were pallid face with yellowish tinge, swelling of the face, and ankles and legs, especially at night—they were puffy, and could be dented with the finger. My appetite was very capricious, did not relish my food, and what I ate seemed to do no good. My urine was filled with, sediment,"" and covered with an iridescent scuni. Every night I had to rise several times to urinate. In fact, I had no rest day nor night, and life was beebming a burden; Eai'ly in May, 188R, I as a last resort consulted awellknowh medical man (whose name I will furnish privately), who informed me after a thorough examination, extending over a part of two days, that I had a very bad case of. Blight's .disease of the Xvidneys, that he was positive of this, and would stake his professional reputation upon it, and that my death was only a question of time. ' He refused to give me medicine, saying he would not take my money when it was useless. He told, me ,to take vapour baths to aid the kidneys as much as' possible, and to straighten up my •worldly affairs. This was my outlbok in the beginning of May, 1886. I thanked the Dr. for his frankness, for he was the first man who'had really told me what was the matter with me. I have recently, written him, again thanking; him for telling riie in time, and also informing , him.what cured me. I had always led "an. active life, being a member of the Baffin shire council, member of the Ballarat mining board, agent for Cobb & Co.'s extensive line of coaches, and manager of Cann's family hotel at Mount Blackwood, and to settle down to die at the early age of 42 was pretty hard lines. I had read of Warner's safe cui'e and safe pills, and had taken a bottle or two at intervals, which I noticed had given me a better appetite, ■ but - had dropped it without using it thoroughly. With a woman's quick perception, my wife advised me to stick to "Warner's," and give it an honest trials After i-eeeiving ,the fiat of death from my .medical adviser, I concluded that it'might possibly help me, and like a .drowning man ,1 .clutched at the faintest hope. I accordingly visited H. H. Warner & .Cd.'s laboratory, at 174 Little Lonsdale Street West, Melbourne, and had a I6hg talk 'with the iianager. After an analysis of my urine, which showed tube casts in large quantities, together with over 50 per cent, of albumen, he told me : that Warner's safe pure had grappled with cases and cured them , as bad as mino, which he admitted was most serious.. I agreed to give up all business and follow his advice. For 'the next six months I iniplioitlyfollowed dietary rules.bathing, etc.,and religiously took Warner's safe cure.aud safe pills. At first I could see only slight improvement, but the repeated tests'of myurlne showed ttiat the albiiitieri and tube casts'were decreasing; and I began to take-hope. > To.mnke a long story short, I will, say that I h%ve taken about 50 bottles of Warner's safe cure., and atn to-dajf a'livirig mbh'utnqnfc-to its efficacy. ' There is riot a trace of albumen or sediment in my water ; my appetite is good-; I weighastone more than I did last May ; the sallow complexion ,is gone, and has been replaced, by the hue of health .';' I go to bed and sleep all night, and I feel that I cannot say enough for the medicine that, has snatched me from the grave and given, me a renewed lease of life. I could write columns, but.do not wish to weary you, and will only say that I am l'eady at all times to substantiate/these unsolicited statements personally or by letter, to any.who.may be interested. .To those suffering as.l was, take the advice of one who has been very near to death ; do not postpone treatment until too late, but, if suffering from kidney or liver difficulty, resort at once .with entire confidence to that safe, simple,-,and sure vegetable, remedy Warner's safeciire, and be restored to permanent : health and strength.—John GaXx.
