Editor Detroit Free Press:
Some time ago a reporter of you paper had
an interview with me which he said he would
like to publish. l consented on condition that
you would nor meltion 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 tit)
that had debated for a long time whether
would shake on some of the professional fetters
which bound me with others for years, and tell
the trnth, or not. When 1 looked back, and
thought of the tortures, like those described by
Dante in his trip 10 the internal regions, which
l endured FROM dyspepsia, and recalled how
much would have given ut 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.
If l could thereby save one poor mortal one
night of the terrible suffering / endured
would be fully satisfied, be the other conse-
quences what they might.
My dyspePtc condition was produced py a
torpid liver, which did not, as a consequence,
remove the bile from the blood. This pro-
huced derangement of the stomach, intiamma-
zion of it's coats, dyspepsia, constipation, head
ache, depression Of spirits, yellow complexion,
| fat-coyeTed eyes, clills and fever; in short, I
was miserable to the last degree. l appealed
| i'm vain to my books, to my skill and to my
| fellow physicians. The mystery of my ill
! health grew deeper. l Travelled everywhere
! exhaused all authorized expedients- to no
| purpore
need OF help, but expecting none, one of my
unprofessional friends called my attention
| 10 some unusual cures wrought by promi-
nent remedy and urged me tc try it. l en-
| phatically declined But secretly, and with
/ the firm determination that l would never
let anybody know what l had done, L
began its use. 1t was only an experiment.
| YOU know, but, for that matter. all medical
! Treatment is experimental. Well, to make a
| long and surprising story short, l experienced
a sOrt of physical revolution. My skin got a
| better color. Ny liver resumed its functions.
| j no longer had to arouse the bowels with
cath rites. My headaches disappeared. "Na-
( ture did it," l reasoned. Bnt, determined to
! push the investigation to the extreme, while
| was in active work, l tried the effect of the
remedy on my patients afflicted with kidney,
liver and urinsry diseases, watching every de-
yelopment carefully and studiously. Then l
| was coml lletely disaTmsd, Tor the remedy
stood every test imposed
Under such convincing circumstances, the
matter of oOnfeSsing my cure became ques-
ti0n 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 accomplish" as an honorable
man will not suppress the facts. therefore
write you and most unhesitatingly assert that
for all diseases Of the kidneys, liver stomach
or urinary organs which are amenable 10 treat
ment, Warmers Safe Kidney ana 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 consclen-
tious, in duty bound to use this pure vegetable
compound il their practice.
Yours very truly,
