Editor Detroit Free Press:
Some time ago a reporter of your paper
had an interview with me, which he said he
would like to publish. l consented on con-
dition that you would not mention my name
until gave you permission. 1 have now
accomplished the purpose / had in mind,
and wish to say to you (Which you can pub
lish or not as you see tt) that l had de-
bated for a 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 tortures, like those described
by Dante in his trip to the internal regions,
which endured from dyspepsia, and re-
called how much would have given at that
time for the relief which have since OBJ
tanned, determined that would take the
step SO long meditated, and thereby dis
charge duty to my fellow-men. If I could
thereby save one poor mortal one night of
the terrible suffering endured, | 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 conse-
quence, remove the bile from the blood.
This produced arrangement of the stomach,
Inflammation of its coats, dyspepsia, con-
stipation, headache, depression of spirits,
yellow complexion, fat-covered eyes, chills
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
l travelled rywhere-exhausted all au-
thorized 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 atten-
ton to some unusual cures wrought by a
prominent remedy, and urged me to try it.
l emphafcally declined But secretly, and
with the firm determination that would
never let anybody know what had done, 1
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, expe-
rieneed a sort of physical revolution. My
skin got better color. My liver resumed
its functions. I no longer had to arouse
the bowels with cathartics. My headaches
disappeared with my dyspepsia; but still I
was no. convinced. Nature did it." I
reasoned. But determined to push the in.
yestigation to the extreme, while I was in
active work, l tried the effect of the remedy
on my patients afflicted with kidney, liver
and urinary diseases, watching every devel-
opment carefully and studiously. Then
was completely disarmed, for the remedy
stood every test imposed
Under such convincing circumstances,
the matter ofconfessing my cure became
question of conscience and duty to humani-
ty. Here is . remedy" said, '4that
has done for me what the best medical skill
of the country could not accomplish
as an honorable man will not suppress the
facts I therefore write you and most nm
hesitatingly assert that for all diseases of the
kidneys, liver, 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 i'll success in
the treatment of diseases 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 com
pound in their practice
Yours very truly,
