HAPPY RESULTS

Wnlcn L nau experienced. MOI only
this but many, who were not conscious
Of any physical trouble, who, at my
suggestion, began the use of the rem
dy which had saved my life, found
their health steadily improving and
their strength continually increasing.
So universal, where used, was this true,
that l determined the entire world
should share in its results, and l there
fore placed the formula for its prepara-
tion in the hands of Mr.. ii. IL. Warner,
of Rochester, N. Y, a gentleman whom
/ had cured of Il severe kidney disease,
and who, by reason of his personal
worth, high standing and liberality in
%endowing the Astronomical Observa-
tory and other public enterprises, has
become known and popular to the en-
tire country. This gentleman at once
began the manufacture of the remedy
on a most extensive scale, and to-da Y
Warnsr's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
the pure remedy that saved my life, is
known and used in all parts of the con-
tinent.
II am aware a prejudice exists tow
ards proprietary medicines, and that
such prejudice is too often well founded,
but the value Of a pure remedy is no
less because it is a proprietary medicine.
A justifiable prejudice exists towards
quack doctors, but it is right that this
prejudice should extend toward all the
doctors who are earnestly and intelli-
gently trying to do their duty? Be-
cause Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure saved my life before 1t became a
proprietary medicine, is it reasonable to
suppose that 1t will not cure others and
keep still more from sickness now that
it is sold with a government stamp on
the wrapper. Such a theory would be
childish.n
The doctor then paid some very high
compliments to American science, and
closed his lecture as follows:
"How to restore the health when
broken and how to keep the body per-
feet and free from disease must ever be
mans highest study. That one of the
greatest revelations of the precent day
has been made in ~ascertaining the true
seat of health to be in the kidneys and
liver, all scientists now admit, and /
can but feel that the discovery which l
have been permitted to make, and
which 1 have described to you, is des-
tined to prove tho greatest, best and
most reliable friend to them who suffer
and long for happiness, as well as those
who desire to keep the joys they now

Estimate OF tho physiclanS' Nils in the
I,reslIenl'a CnSc.


WASHINGTON, December 2.-One Of the
first things that will be brought up
in Congress is the settlement Of the bills
incident to the late Presidents illness.
General Garheld's friends will advocate
the appointment Of commission to audit
all bills and make n statement to the Sec.
retary Of the Treasury, whom they will nsk
to be given power to pay the amount from
any monies in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated. II IL thought that in this
way the matter may be fixed up quietly,
without any undignifed squabbllng IN
Congress oyer. the precise amount OF money
needed. The physicians have been asked
by the financial agent Of Mrs. Garfield 10
send their bill to her, but they have refused
to do 80. Dr. bliss said that he would not
think Of taking from Mrs. Garfield what
would be mere bagatelle TO the Govern
inent, while Il would sensibly reduce her
income. lie and the other physicians
have declined to take anything at all un-
less IL comes from the Government.
DR.. AgnGw has figured up the direct loss
to him through his connection with the
case, and II amounts, It Is reported, to
$500. DR.. hiss, in loss Of practice and
expenses incident to his devotion TO the
President, amounts also TO some $4,000.
This allows nothing for the constant service,
anxiety and labor as nurse and physician,
night and day, for the long weeks oi the
Presidents illness. Drs Agnew and Ham
ilton did not give all their time TO the case
or their loss would have been much greater,
but Dr.. Bliss surrendered his entire praC.
tice Oi necessity. Drs. Agnew, Hamilton
and Bliss, Il is expected, will consider $685.
600 apiece about n fair compensation for
their work. Drs. Barnes and Woodward
are officers oithe Government, 80 that they
suffered no pecuhiary loss from their
attendance on the case. The physicians
hope the matter will be settled before the
holidays, and General qarfeld's friends
desire the bills settled before the eulogiel
are pronounced,
