Editor Detroit Free Press:

Some time ago reporter of your paper had
an interview with me which he said he would
like 70 publish. / 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 20 you
(Which you may publish Or not as you see fit)
that had debated for long time whether !
would shake off some of the professional letters
which bound me with others for years, and tell
the truth or not. When [ looked back, and
thought of the fortunes, like those described by
Dante in his trip to the internal regions, which
much1 would have given at that time for the
relief which I have since obtained, deter
mined would take the step so long meditated,
and thereby discharges duty to my fellow men.
If could thereby save one poor mortal one
night of the terrible suffering I endured,
would be fully satisfied, be the other conse-
quences what they might.
My dyspeptic condition was produced by a
torpid liver, which did not, as consequence,
remove the bile from the blOol. This pro-
duced arrangement of the stomach, inf1amma-
ton of its coats, dyspepsia, constipation, head
ache, depression of spirits, yellow complexion,
fat-cOvered eyes, chlllS and fever; in short,
was miserable to the last degree. I appealed in
vain to my books, to my skill and to my fellow
physicians. The mystery of my ill-health grew
deeper. [ travelled everywhere all
authorized expedients- 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 prominent
remedy and urged me to try it. emphatieally
declined. But secretly, and with a firm deter
mination that would never let anybody know
what had done, began its use. 1t was only
an experiment, you know, but for that matter.
all medical treatment is experimental. Well,
to make long and surprising story short,
experienced sort of physical revolution. MY
skin got better color. My liver resumed it's
functions. no longer had to arouse the bowels
with cathartics. My headaches disappeared
with my dyspepsia; but still I was not con-
WINGED. "Nature did it" reasoned. But, de-
termined to push the investigation to the ex-
treme, while was ins active work, tried the
effect of the remedy on my patients afflicted
with kidney, liver and urinary diseases, watch
ing every development carefully and studiously.
Then I was completely disarmed, for theremedy
stood every test imposed.
Under such convincing circumstances, the
matter OF cOnfesslng my cure became ques-
ton of conscience and of duty to humanity.
"Here is remedy" said, "that has done for
me what the best medical skill in the country
could not accomplish, and as an honorable
man I will not suppress the facts. [ therefore
write you and most unhesltatingly assert that
for all diseases of the kidneys, liver, stomach or
urinary organs which are amenable to treat
ment, Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
surpasses any remedy l 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 when say that they are, if conscenti-
Gus, in duty bound to use this pure vegetable
compound in their practice.
Yours very truly,
J. w. SMITH, NJ. d.
