The true test Of any religion is the effect It
produces upon the lives Of those who profess
1t. And, indeed, the test of real merit every
where must be the power it possesses of &C
comprising desirable results. In this age Of
the world men are not judged by what they
claim to be able to do, but by what they can
DO; not by what they are reputed to be, but
by what they are. Here is where the religion
OF our own country rises superior to the faith
OF Mohammedan or Hindoo lands; for while
there is much hypocrisy in the Church, and
Tar too much worldiness, there is yet an alb
sence Of those sensual and brutal elements
which characterize the religions Of Arabia and
the GAnRes.
This principle is equally true in all other de-
partments of life. The same rule which ap-
plies to persons is equally applicable to things:
UnQuestiOned merit must characterize them
all, or they cannot be acceptable, much less
popular. The clear and well arranged lecture
delivered by DR.. Charles Craig before the Me-
tropolitan Scientific Association appeared in
the columns Of this paper short time since.
In this lecture some new truths were brought
to light bearing directly upon. and affecting
the interests OF, the entire community. These
facts, as stated by the doctor in his lecture,
have been discussed in the columns of the
religious press to q considerable extent in the
past, and that, too, by very prominent person
ages. A few years ago the Rev. J. E. Rankin,
d. D., of Washington, who is prominently
known among the Congregational denomina-
tions of the country, published an article upon
the same subject which drew forth most Bit
ter replies from prcminent physicians, and in
response to these articles DIR. Rankin pub
hshed long communications in the New York
independent, the Boston COn0TeJdtjOnalist and
the Chicago AdUGnce reiterating his former
statements and strongly emphasizing them.
In these articles DIR. Rankin frankly stated he
was as strongly convinced of the efficacy of
the means used as he was that the Genesee
River emptied into Lake Ontario. He further
said: II have known too, Of its use in similar
cases by physicians of the highest character
and standing, and 1 want, in the interest of
humanity, to recommend Warmers Safe Kid
ney and Liver Cure"
Now while very few people are afflicted as
severely as was DR.. Craig, or the cases DIR.
Rankin refers to, still it is lamentable fact
that the great majority Of people, in all parts
OF the land, are suffering to a greater or less
extent from i'll health and that this lack of
health arises from either disordered kidneys
or liver. Some additional facts, from the
highest sources, of special interest upon sub
1ect Of such importance to the community
have therefore been collected by this paper,
and are herewith given:
Rev. d. w. Bartine, NJ. D., d. D., is known
In all parts of the land as q prominent and
efficient leader in the Methodist denomina-
ton. In speaking upon this same subject as
shown in his own experience he said: "Some
few months since l found myself suffering
from kidney difficulty which knew to be
the first stages of Bright's disease. By the
use Of a reliable test found that my system
was giving on albumen. and in some in
stances in a coaguhted state. I also suffered
severely from drOpsy. particularly about the
ankles, together with slight pains about the
kidneys, arrangement of digestion and great
dryness Of the skin. I had at all times much
thirst. and of course this was followed by a
gradual failing of strength. That was about
the state Of things when 1 commenced using
the preparation known as Warmers Safe Kid
ney and Liver Cure. l took about six table
spoonfuls every cay for q week, and found all
my symptoms decidedly improving. 1 con-
tinued taxing the remedy until l entirely re-
covered"
In communication made by Rev. DR.. C. A.
Harvey. the well known financial and educa-
tionaI secretary of Howard university, Wash
ington, d. c.. the doctor says:
IL have for the past few years been &C
quainted with the remedy known as Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure and with its re-
so-called incurable cases OF Bright's disease
which occurred in this city. In some of these
cases, which seemed to be in the last stages
and had been given up by practitioners Of
both schools, the speedy cures which were
wrought by this remedy seemed to be little
less than miraculous. L am convinced that for
Brights disease in all its stages, including
those first symptoms of kidney troubles which
are SO easily overlooked, but are SO fraught
with danger, no remedy heretofore discovered
can be held for one moment in comparison
with this, and hope that Warmers Safe Kid
ney and Liver Cure may become as widely
known as is the existence OF the maladies
which it will cure"
Professor of Hebrew and Greek languages in
the University of Rochester. N. Y, and who is
one of the American revisers of the New Test
ament, in speaking of the effect which War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure had upon
himself. stated most emphatically that he had
received marked benefit from it, and he cor
daily recommended it to the use of others.

Rev. A. P. Hill, Of Shoeheel, n c., having
been troubled with severe kidney and liver
disease for number Of years, said: III have

troubles in some of their many and dangerous
forms"
Rev. P. F. Marklee, in writing from Mont
gomery, Ala, said: 81 have paid at least one
thousand dollars for doctors and medicine and
never received any relief until commenced
taking Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
