HIS OWN EXECUTOR.
A WeII-Known Gentleman's Philan-
thrOpy and the CommOtion Canseol
by One of His Letters.


by One of His Letters.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
We published in our local columns yes
terday morning a significant letter from
gentleman known personally or by repu-
tation to nearly every person in the land.
We have received a number Of letters
| protesting against the use OF our columns
| for such "palpable frauds and mlsrepre-
| sentations;r therefore. TO connrm beyond
a doubt the authenticity Of the letter, and
| the genuineness of its sentiments, re-
| porter of this paper was commissioned TO
| ascertain all the possible facts in the mat
| ter. Accordingly he visited Clifton
| Springs, saw the author of the letter, ana
| with the following result:
| Dr.. Henry Foster, the gentleman IN
/ question, is 63 or 81 years OF age, ana mas
/ an extremely cordial manner. he pre-
/ sides as superintendent over Tue CeIeol d
| ted sanitarium which accommodates over
! 500 guests. and is unquestionably the
| leading health resort of the country. sew
! eral wears ago this benevolent man wisely
! determined to be his own executor; ana,
! therefore. turned over this magnificent
property, worth 100000, as Tree GIT TO
/ a board of trustees, representing the prln-
| cipal evangelical denominations. Among
| the trustees are Bishop A. {. Coke, Pro
/
thew Simpson. Philadelphia, Methodist
| Episcopal; President N. b. Anderson. OF
| the University of Rochester; Rev. DR..
/ Clark, Secretary of the A. b. Z. +. NJ,
Boston. The benevolent purpose OF the
institution is the care:
First-Of evangelical missionaries and
their families whose health has been
| broken in their work. Second-OI minis
! tiers. of anV denomination, in good stand
| ing. Third-Of members of any church,
| who otherwise would be unable to secure
| such care and treatment.
The current expenses of the institution
are met by the receipt from the hundreds
| of DISTINGUISHED and wealthy people who
| every wear crowd its utmost capacity.
| Here come men and women who were
! once in perfect health, but neglected the
first symptoms of disease. The uncertain
pains they felt at first were overlooked,
| until their health became impaired. They
little realized the danger before them,
nor how alarming even trifing ailments
! might prove. They constitute all classes,
| including ministers and bishops, lawyers,
judges, statesmen, milliOnaires, journal
! lists, college professors and officials from
all parts of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
| Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter
remarked, doctor, that letter of yours
has created a good deal of talk, and many
of our readers have questioned its authen-
ITCHY"
$40 what do you refer?" remarked the
doctor.
''Have you not seen the paper?"
eyes, but | have not had time to read it
yet"
The reported thereupon showed him the
letter, which ran as follows:
! CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUMCO., /
CLIFTON SPRINGS, n. Y, Oct. II, 1881
DEAR SIR am usuIng Warmers Safe
! Cure, and | regard it as the best remedy
for some forms of kidney disease that
we have. l am watching with great care
some cases l am now treating with it,
and l hope for favorable results.
/ wish you might come down yourself,
as | would like very much to talk with
you about your sterling remedy and show
| YOU oyer our institution. Yours truly,
TSignedl HENRY FOSTER, NJ. d.
Il do not see why anybody should be
skeptical concerning that letter." re-
| marked the doctor.
''Isn't it unusual for physician of your
standing and influence to commend pro-
| prietary preparations
Il don't know how it may be with
others, but in this institution we allow no
person to dictate to us what we shall use.
Our purpose is to cure the sick, and for
that work we use anything we know to be
valuable. Because | know Warmers Safe
| Cure is a very valuable preparation,
commend it. AS its power is manifested
| under my use, so shall l add to the COM
pleteness of my commentator"
'Haye you ever analysed it, dOctOrW
eve always analyze before we try any
| preparation of which we do not know the
| constituents. But analysis, you know,
only gives the elements; it does not give
all the important proportions. The re-
! markable power of Warmers Safe Cure un-
doubtedly consists in the proportions ac-
cOrding to which its elements are mixed"
While there may be thousand remedies
made of the same elements, unless they
are put together in proper proportions,
they are worthless as kidney and liver
preparations.
81 hope some day to meet Mr.. Warner
| personally, and extend fuller congratula-
tiOns to him on the excellence of his pre-
| paratiOns. l have heard much of him as
the founder of the Warner Observatory.
and as a man of large benevOlence. The
reputed high character of the man him.
| self gave assurance to me in the first
place that he would not put a remedy
upon the market that was not trust
worthy; and it was a source of a good
deal of qualification to me to find out by
actual experiment that the remedy itself
sustained my Impressions
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster is
precisely the same found by DR.. Die
Lewis, DR.. Robert A. Gum, ex-Surgeon
General Gallagher and others, and proves
beyond a doubt the great efficacy of the
remedy which has awakened so much at
tentiOn in the land and rescued so many
men, women and children from diseases
/ and death
