"This was the case 1 with the verdict on Mr. S. E. Richards, | mining engineer, of " Ontario," Nicholson- ■■■■..<■.. I street, Burwood, New South Wales, who, I in a letter dated March 8. 1900, says : — I "On September 1, 1898, I became over--1 heated then suddenly exposed to a piercing I cold wind. I caught a chill, the result I being that I was deprived ot robust health, •: | and for about seven months my life was- | despaired of. During this time I had been | through the hands of eight medical men in | private and public hospitals. The majority j of them held out no hope, some of, them dea daring that I had kidney, liver, heart, and ] lung troubles. In the Prince Alfred FiosIpital. Sydney, my medical attendant said I I had" Bright's disease of the kidneys, that he I could do nothing for me, and that I '.ad ] better be taken "home, as I could not re- | cover. Rather a dark prospect this, rons sidering that, in addition to the troubles I enumerated above, I had dropsy to a fear- | ful extent. I had been tapped in the lower I part of the abdomen five times, several galj lons of water being drawn off, but all to no ' 1 good purpose. In a few day;, after being flapped, I swelled up in my legs, abdomen, and stomach, larger than before. The j dropsy began to make its in my hands and face. My body swelled to Ihat I degree that I sickened to look at myself, ! and many times wished 1 could die. Frhnds j who visited me sympathised and bid me, as J they believed, a. last farewell. But an J angel-of mercy came in the Shape of WarI ner's Safe Cure. A lady friend strongly re- ] commended me to give up hospitals, doctors, I and medicines, and take only Warner's Safe Cure. On April 3, 1899, I began to take j Warner's Safe Cure. As soon as I began I to take this medicine my appetite began to j return. At the end of four weeks, when I had drank four bottles of Safe Cure, the j water began to come away. I reduced .in j circumference around the abdomen;- from 54iin to 41£ in, and mv legs reduced in proportion. I felt like. new man. My spirits returned. I began to get regular sleep, alill ■ reducing in size, until not a vestige of lung, j kidney, liver, or dropsy trouble could be . j seen or felt. lam now in the best of "health, and am "firmly convinced that Warner's Safe Cure has, in God's hand, been the 1 means of restoring my lost health »nd Iner's Safe Cure has, in God's hand, been the means of restoring my lost health and strength. I would gladly write, talk, or sing the praises of Warner's Safe Cure, but will conclude by stating that I shall be only too happy to answer any questions, either by letter or otherwise. I feel I owe a duty to the world at large in making known the almost miraculous, cure effected in my case by Warner's Safe Cure. I also feel a debt of gratitude to the discoverer of Warner's Safe Cure, and trust this humble, unsolicited testimonial may be made public for *■ the benefit of suffering humanity. lam well-known all over the Australian 1 colonies and my old mining contemporaries will rejoice to learn of my restoration to health."
