Some time ago reporter OF your paper had
an interview with me which he said he would
like TO publish. consented on condition that
Won would not mention my name until l gave
YOU permission. l have now accomplished the
purpose / had in mind, and wish to say to you
(which you can publish or not as you see tit)
that | had debated for a long time whether
would shake of some of the professional letters
which bound me with others :or years, aud tell
the truth. not. When looked back, and
thought Of the tortures, like those described by
Dante in his trip TO the internal regions, which
1 endured from dyspepsia, and recalled how
much would have given at that time for the
relief which have since obtained, determined
that / would take the step so long meditated,
and thereby discharge duty to my fellow men.
II I could thereby save one poor mortal one
night OF the terrible suffering l endured, l
would be fully satisfied, be the other conse-
quences what they might.
My dyspeptic condition was produced by
torpid liver, which did not, as a consequence,
remove the bile from the blood. This pro-
auced arrangement Of the stomach, lnftamma-
tiCn of its coats, dyspepsia, constipation,
headache, depression of spirits, yellow com
plexion, fat-covered eyes, chills and fever ; IN
short, / was miserable TO the last degree. l
appealed in vain to my books, to my skill and
ill-heaIth grew deeper. l Travelled everywhere
exhausted all authorized expedients-but to
no purpose
When in this frame of mind desperately in
unprofessional friends called my attention to
some unusual cures wrought by prominent
remedy and urged me to try it emphatlcally
declined. But secretly, and with the frm deter
nination that l would never let anybody know
what had done, began it's use. 1t was only
an experiment, you know, but for that matter,
all medical treatment is experimental. Wen,
to make q long, and surprising story short,
experienced sort Of physical revolution. My
skin got better color. Ny liver resumed its
functions. / no longer had to arouse the
bowels with cathartics. Ny headaches dlsap-
peared with my dyspepsia :; but stlIl was not
convinced. Nature did it, reasoned. But,
determined to push the investigation to the
extreme while was in active work, tried the
effect of the remedy on my patients afhcted
with kidney, liver and urinary diseases, watch
ing every development carefully aud studlously.
Then was completely disarmed, for the remedy
stood very test imposed
Under such convincing circumstances, the
matter of confessing my cure became ques-
ton of conscience and of duty to humanity.
& Here is a remedy" said, a." that has done for
ny what the best med al skill of the country
could not accomplish and as an honorable
man will not suppress the facts. therefore
write Won and most unhesitatingly assert that
for all diseases of the kidneys, liver, stomach
urinary organs which are amenable to treat
ment, Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
surpasses any remedy 1 have ever known or
used, and since physicians have so much i'll
success in the treatment of diseases Of these
organs, am prepared to accept all the conse-
quences Wnen say tDaJ Iney are, II cOnhcien-
tious, in duty bound to use this pure vegetable
compound in their practice
Yours very truly,
J. w. SMITH, NJ. ID.
Statements SO outspoken as the above and
coming from such reliable source, are valuable
beyond question. They conclusively show not
only the power OF the remedy which has become
so well known and popular, but the great inn
portance OF attention in time to the first indica
tions of declining health When professional
men of such high standing sink their prejudice
and willingly declare their belief in that which
they know to be valuable, the public may
confidently follow their example
