Thcvenct showed (his letter to his friends, and rotated the incident,and laughed most heartily as often as ho told the story. "JNovertlicloss, he is a fool," said he. The following was Mous.

I wish you happiness in your marriage with the most worthy of Knglish ladies. It is true a leg is much t*? give for a beautiful, virtuous nt?<l toiulor wife; yet not too much, if in the oiul one does not come to feel that he has been cheated in tho exchange. Adam was obi.ged to snerillce a rib for his wife; and it has cost many other men a rib for their love-?some a head. Hut after all you musv permit me, very moderately, to stand by my opinion.

Have a care, sir; I fear that within two years you will regret tlmt you had your leg taken off above th-> knee. You will think it would have licen much better below tho knee. At the end of three years you will bo convinced that, tho loss of x foot would have been siitllciont. In four years you will alllriu that the sacrilleo of a great toe, and in live years, the amputation of a little too would ls? too great. At tho end of six years, you will confess that the cutting off the nail would have been suflleient wy mi iiiih witliout tiny purpose of detracting from tlio worth of your estimable wife.

K j Democrat : 8ik? Od tbe first day of June, 1r?M. 1 lay at my residence in tins city surrounded by my friends and waiting for death. Heaven only knows the anony I then endured, for describe it. And yet. if a few years previous any one had toid'uie that I was to be brought so low, and by so terrible a disease, I should have scoffed at the idea I ha I always been uncommonly strong and healthy, and weighed over WO pounds and hardly kuew, in niy owu experience, what pain or uckuv-s were. Very many peop'e who will read this statement realize at times that they are unusually tirod an 1 cannot account for it. Thev feol dull min> iu various pari* of the body aivl do not understand why. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite the next. This was just the war I Wt when the relentless malady which had fastened itself upon me flrst began. Htill I thought nothing of it, that probably I bait taken a cold which would soon pas* away. Khortly after this I noticed a heavy, and at time* neuralgic, pain in onu side of tny head, hut 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 timet great inconvenience. Yet, even as a physician, I did not think thai these things meant anything serious. I fancied I was suffering from malaria and doctored myself accordingly. Hut 1 got no better I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluid* I was passing?also thit there were large quantities one day and very little the nn?l iVtai ?a ! a4U ?-y appeared on the surface, and n sediment settled. And yet I did not realize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, 1 finally became accustomed to them, anil tny suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that I had no pain in the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind I cannot understand I i-onsulted the best medical skill in tho laud. I visited all tin* 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 1 was troubled witii spinal irritation; another, dyspepsia; another, lie?rt disease; another, general debility; another, congestion of the base of tlie" brain; and so on through a long list of common diseases, the symptom* of nmuv of which I really hail. In this way several years passe,}, during which time I was steadily growing worn**. My condition had really boconlo pitiahlc. Th? slight symptoms 1 had at tlrst exjverienced were developed into terrible and constant disorders. My weight had been reduced from 207 to blO pounds. My life was n burden to myself and friends. I could retain no food on my stomach, and I lived wholly by injections. 1 was a living uiaas of pain. My pulse was uiu'ontrotuhle. In mv agony 1 frequently fell to the floor and clutched the carpet, and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. Kor six days and nights I had the death-premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My water was tilled with tube-casts ami albumen. I was struggling with llriglit's disease of tho kidneys in its last stages! While suffering thus 1 received a call front my pastor, the ltov. I)r. Koote, at that time rector of Kt. Caul's Kpiscopui Church, of this city. I felt that it was our last interview, but in tho course of conversation Dr. Footo detailed to me the many remarkable cures of cases like my own which had come under his observation. As a practicing physician and a graduate of the schools, I derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels Iveir.g in the least beneficial. So solicitious, however, was Dr. Footc, that I Anally promised I would waive my prejudice. I (vegan its use on the first day of June, 18*1, and took it according to directions. At first it sickened me; but this I thought was a good sign for me in my dcbilitateu condition. I continued to take it- the sickening sensation departisi and I was finally able to retain food upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed for the 1 vet tor, as also did my wife and friends. My Hiccoughs erased and I experienced less pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this Improved DoegWW that, upon what I bad Iwlievcd but a few lays Ivet'ore was my dying bed, I vowed in the presence of my family an I friends, should I recover, I would both publicly and privately make know this remedy for the good of humanity, wberover and whenever I had an opportunity, and this letter is in fulfillment of that vow. Aly improvement was rnnatnut. frmn fltnf fim.> nn.l |Ann three months I had gained twenty-six pounds in flesh, became entirely free from |>nin and 1 believe I owe my lifeand present condition wholly to Warner's Safe Cure, the remedy which I used. SSince my recovery 1 have thoroughly reinvestigated the subject, of kidney difficulties and Bright's disease, and the truths developed aro ...duumling, 1 therefore state, d<>lilierately, ami as a physician, that I lielievo more than our hal f the iteaths which occur in America arc causal !>>/ Height's itisease of the kidneys. This may sound like a rash statement, but X am prepared to fully verify it. Bright's disease has no distinctive features of its own (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 people die daily, whoso burials aro authorized by a physician's certificate as occurring from "Heart Disease," "Apoploxy," "Paralysis," Spinal Complaint," "Rheumatism," "Pneuinouia," and other common complaints, when in rvaliU" it ia rrom Bright disenso of the kidneys. Tew physicians, and fewer people, realize the ext"iit of this disease or its dangerous ail I insidious nature. It steals into the syst-rn like a thief, manifests its presence if ni'nii ?>* commonest r,y::;j,u?,ii.s ami fastens itself in the constitution before the victim is aware of it. It is nearly as hereditary as cousmup* lion, quite as common and tally as fatal. Knlire lamllies. inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none of the mini hit hui-w or rennzalthe mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of'common symptoms it often shows nou? whvtever, but brings dentil suddenly, from convulsions apoplexy or heart disease. As one who has suffered, and knows by its bitter experience what he says, 1 implore everyone who reads these words not to neglect the slightest symptoms of kidney ditlieulty. No one can nlFonl to hazard such chances. I make the foregoing statements based upon facts which I can substantiate to the letter. 'I'he welfare of those who may possibly be siilTerers such as I was. is an ample inducement forme to take the step I have, and if I can successfully warn others from the dangerous path in which I once walked, I am willing to endure all professional ami personal consequences J.
