Editor Detroit Free Press:

Some time ago reporter Of your paper had
an interview with me which he said he would
like to publish. L consented on condition that
you would not mention my name until gave
you permission. / have now accomplished
the purpose had in mind, and wish TO say to
you (Which you can publish or not as you see
fit that had debated for a long time whether
1 would shake of some of the professional fet-
ters which bound me with others for years, and
tell the truth, or not When Hooked back, and
thought of the fortunes, like those described
by Dante in his trip to the internal regions,
which | endured from dyspepsia and recalled
how much l would have given at that time
for the relief which have since obtained, l
determined that would take the step so long
meditated, and thereby discharge duty to my
fellow men. If could thereby save one poor
mortal one night OF the terrible suffering en-
dured, l would be fully satisfied, be the other
consequences what they might.
My dYspeptic condition was produced by a
torpid liver, which did not, as a consequence,
remove the bile from the blood This pro-
duced arrangement of the stomach, infam-
nation Of its coats, dyspepsia, constipation,
headache, depression OF splits, yellow COM
plexion, fat-covered eyes, chils and fever; in
short, I was miserable to the last degree /
appealed in vain to my books to my ski, and
to my fellow physicians. The mystery OF my
in-health grew deeper. I Travelled everywhere
exhausted all authorized expedients-but to
no purpose
When in this frame of mind, desperately in
need Of help, but expecting none, one OF my
unprofessional friends called my attention to
some unusual cures wrought by a prominent
remedy and urged me to try it. emphatic
ally declined But secretly, and with the
firm determination that / would never let
anybody know what l had done, l began its
use. 1t was only an experime mt, you know,
but for that matter, all medical treatment is
experimental. Well, to make a long and
surprising story short, experienced a sort of
physical revolution. Ny skin got a better
color. My liver resumed its functions. l no
longer had to arouse the bowels with cathar-
tics Ny headaches disappeared with my dys-
pepsia; but stil l was not convinced T" Ma
ture did it, reasoned. But, determined to
pursue the investigation to the extreme,
while I was in active work, tried the effect
Of the remedy on my patients afflicted with
kidney, liver and urinary diseases, watching
every development carefully and studiously
Then was completely disarmed, for the rem
edy stood every test imposed
Under such convincing circumstances, the
matter Of confessfng my cure became ques-
ton of conscience and of duty to humanity.
"Here is a remedy said, "that has done
for me what the best medical skill of the
country could not accomplishment as an
honorable man Will not suppress the facts.
/ therefore write you and most unhesitetingly
assert that for all diseases of the kidneys, liv-
er, stomach or urinary organs which are
amenable to treatment, Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure surpasses any remedy / have
ever known or used, and since physicians have
so much ill-success in the treatment Of dis
eases of these organs, l am prepared to accept
all the consequences when ] say that they are,
If conscientious, in duty bound to use this
pure vegetable compound in their practice.
Yours very truly,
