The Oatspoken Statements Of q
Prominent and Scientific
Gentleman.
Some New Truths Which Will BE
Found OF Value TO All.

Bright's disease of the kidneys. Within
the past few weeks Hon. Fernando Wood
and Senator Matt Carpenter have both
fallen victims to this scourge, and the
unusual number of other great men, who
have died from the same cause, naturally
raises the inquiry, What does this mean,
and when viii it stop2
Realizing the Importance which this
subject has assumed in this community, q
representative Of this paper, while on a
recent trip, called upon a senior member
of one of the leading houses in this coun-
try-a gentleman who has spent much
time and money in scientifically investi-
eating this subject. This gentleman is
MIR. II. H.. Warner, of Rochester, N. VI
and while his time is constantly occupied
with his extensive business enterprises, he
courteously granted an interview, which
was as follows:
MIR. Warner, il was rumored some
time since that you were afflicted by that
terrible complaint, Bright's disease Of the
kidneys, and it YVES reported you could
not live to exceed six months. Now, as
this subject has become of such interest to
the public, we would like to ascertain
your views upon the matter. Judging
from the amount Of business you are
doing, and your present avordupois, n
would think physicians were mistaken, or
else you have been cured by some unusual
means"
Il do not think l had Bright's disease
of the kidneys, but l think it would have
resulted in that in a very short time. |
had tried some of the best physicians in
this city and other places, and one of the
physicians told me l had better put my
affairs in shape, for my time was vlry
short"
Judging from your present business,
it would appear that you didnot put your
affairs in shape for leaving this world"

preparation now known as the Safe Kid.
ney and Liver Cure, without the knowl-
edge OF my physicians or friends, and at
the end of a few months, l found myself
in perfect health, Ny business called me
to New York, and there / met t~hegentle-
man who had discovered this remedy. l
found him beseiged by several parties to
furnish them and their friends with the
medicine. Their earnest solicitations re-
ceived the universal answer-that the

ton. This caused me to investigate the
matter further, and | went with DR..
Craig and saw several persons that he had
cured years before. They urged upon
him the necessity Of furnishing this prepa-
ration for their families and friends. l
resolved that it was a duty that | owed
to mankind, to at least assist DR. Craig, so
that these parties might be, in a measure
supplied"
Were any ofthese peopletha Endorsed
this preparation prominent people2"
ayes sir; the Rev. DR.. Bartine, Rev.
DR.. Rankin, of Washington; DR. Harvey,
of Howard university and various
Others"
This remedy you speak of as DR..
Craig's is,then, the same that is advertised
so extensively throughout the country
as Warmers Safe Kidney and Live.
Cure, did yeur physician find
out that you were cured by any
remedy different from that prescribed by
him?"
II am unable to say. He at least re-
ported it to the medical society and wrote
quite an extended article which he read
before the society, taking upon himself
the credit Of curing a severe case of
Bright's disease"
This would be rather unpleasant for
the doctorif he were aware that the facts
Of the case were being made public, would

Not at all, sir. 1t would be only one
Of the many mistakes made by the ply
sicians. They, as a class, are very pc u
liar in their profession, following the
same lines and same rules laid down TO
them years ago, and hence they are ready
to oppose anything that does not come
through what they call the regular chan
nell As you are aware, the ~allopathic
school pronounces the h~omeopathists
humbugs, and the homeopathists retail
ate by p%ronOunclng the allopathists the
same. They, of course, together pro.
nOunce any other school or medicine
especially if it bears a government stamp
"a still greater humbug. During the
last year, however, q large number OF
physicians have consulted with DR.. Craig
and myself in regard to themselves ana
their families, ana we have effected some
wonderful cures. Many of these same
doctors are buying the preparation and
prescribing it in a quiet and unknown
way. Why, within the last three days |
have learned of two well known physi-
clans who had Bright's disease terribly
who have entirely cured themselves BY
the use of my remedy. Physicians are
human beings, and their professional
pride all vanishes when their lives or
those Of their nearest friends are in dam

will benefit this troublesome disease2"
Yes, sir, / do. 1t is the only medicine

uric acid from the blood, and with the
best knowledge | can obtain, together
with the Endorsement Of over a thousand
of the best physicians throughout the
country that affirm the same"
How did you obtain the information;
did you writer"
"No, sir. These doctors are too shrewd
TO put themselves on record, unless it
comes through some high source that will
furnish them cheap notoriety."
Have you used such information for
the benefit Of the public"
'Only TO a small extent. / found it an
