ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
On The Chickahoininy. * Under date of May 8, 1888, Col. 8. F. Tibbetts, of Dover, N. H„ sends us the following: * While on duty tn the army of the Potomac in the swamps of the Chickahominy I contracted a complication of dire r-ea that culminated in spinal trouble, paralysis on one side, and severe disease of the kidneys and bladder, and great urinal weakness. For a long time I was under the treatment of the best physicians, and tried many of the so-called remedies, but received no permanent benefit. When I was in the drug business in Boston I heard favorable accounts of the efficacy of Hunt's Bemedy for diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs, and, having decided to give it a trial. I purchased some at Wingate’s drug store, Dover, N. H. and have received great relief from using it. The severe pains in my back are removed, and I am able to sleep soundly and obtain rest at night—which for so long a time I could not do—and the weakness in the urinary organs has been relieved, and I greatly regret that I did not test the great merits of Hunt's Remedy when I was first taken sick, as I am confident it would have saved me from several years of suffering; and I am more strongly convinced of this after hearing of the most remarkable cureseffected by Hunt’s Remedy in a case of Bright's Disease here in our midst in Dover, after the patient had been pronounced incurable by celebrated physicians.* Mr.Tibbitts is a retired druggist, formerly located in Boston, and is a thoroughly reliable citizen.—Oor.
