Buffalo, N. Y., Maroh 28.- The Buffalo Times bas devoted ao entire column to the rernarkable case of R. 3. Baxter, of 131 Walter street, an enginoer running on the W., N. Y. & P. Ky. It appears that Mr. Baxter had been afflioted with Bright's disease and stone in the bladder, a complication of disease that was nniversally supposed to be incurable. He was at first treated by his family physioian without receiving any benefit. The Brotherhood's doctor next diagnosed his case and advised bim to go to the hospital, whicb be did, as a last resort to have an operation performed. After remaining in the Sisters' Hospital for sorue time, he was fonad to be in too weak a condition to stand the strain, having gone down in flesh from his normal weight 210 to 106 ponnds. The operation was then abandoned and he left the hospita], to die. One of Mr. Baxter's brother engineers hearing of his sad oase and knowing that Dodd's Kidnuy Pilis is tbe only reinedy that has ever cnred Bright's Disease, visited his friend and ptevailed npon bitn to try tbem. To a Times reporter Mr. Baxter said : "In a few days after beginning to take Dodd's Kidney Pilis my condition began to improve, tbe paleness graduaily left my face, the stone passed away and the puffiness tinder my eyes began to disappear, and two montbs from tbe time I began tbem, I surprised the W. N. Y. & P. By., by applying for work. I am now back on my engine agaiu as well as ever I was in my life baving regained my uorual weight and there is not a symp:om of the dieease left in me. Ñothng tbat has bappened in railroad ciroles here for many years bas created snch a profoand sensation as bis recovery, wbich is oonsidered notbing short of a miraole.
