The Highest Authority.
Upon Subject ofv1taIInsersst, directing
 e1,a NvaHRare of All,

The following remarkable letter from one
 of the leading and best known scientific
 writers of the present day is specially signif-
 icant, and should be of unusual value to all
 readers who desire to keep pace with the march of modern discoveries and events:
 'sA general demand for reformation is one of the most distinctive characteristics of the nineteenth century. The common people, as well as the more enlightened and refined, cry out with no uncertain voice to be emsncipa- ted from the slavery of conservatism and su- perstition which has held the masses in gross l ignorance during 8 large portion of the ' Ages came near obliterating the last glimmer ! of truth. Dogmatic assertions and blind empiricism are losing caste among all classes of all countries. People are beginning to think for themselves, and to regard authority much less than argument. Men and women are no longer willing that 6 few individuals | should dictate to them what must be their sentiments and opinions. They claim the right to solve for themselves the great ques- | tions of the day and demand that the general good of humanity shall be respected, As the result of this general awakening, we see, on every hand, uRmistakable evidences of re- formatory action. People who, few years ago. endured suffering the most intense in the name of duty, now realize the utter fool ishness of such course. Men who were under the bondage of bigoted advisers al- I lowed their health to depart; suffered their constitutions to become undermined and finally died as martyrs to false system of treatment There are millions of people filling untimely graves who might have lived ! to green old age had their original troubles been taken in time or properly treated. There
 are thousands of people to-day, thoughtlessly ! enduring the first symptoms of some serious malady and without the slightest realization of the danger that is before them. They have occasional headaches a lack of appe- tite one day and raVenous one the next, or an unaccountable feeling of weariness, some- times accompanied by nausea and attribute all these troubles to the old idea of 8 slight cold or malaria. It is high time that people awoke to knowledge of the seriousness of these matters and emaneipated themselves from the professional bigotry which controls them. When this is done and when all class es of physicians become liberal enough to ex- clude all dogmas save that 1t is their duty to cure disease as quickly and as safely as pos ! sible; to maintain no other position than l that of truth honestly ascertained, and to en- dorse and recommend any remedy that mas been found useful no matter what It's origin, there will be no more quarreling among the doctors, while there will be great rejoicing throughout the world.
 EsI am well aware of the censure that will
 be meted out to me for writing this letter. but I feel that cannot be true 70 my honest con- victions unless extend helping hand and endorse all that know to be good. The ex- tended publications for the past few years, and graphic descriptions of different diseases of the kidneys and liver, have awakened the medical profession to the fact that these dis eases are greatly increasing. The treatment of the doctors has been largely experimental and many of their patients have died while they were casting about for remedy to cure them.
 GET4 ;,,ou ox,ap truo uoara sinca my attAu. ton was first called to the use of 8 most won- derfuI preparation in the treatment of Brights disease of the kidneys. Patients had ire quentIy asked me about the remedy and had heard of remarkable cures effected by 1t, but like many others I hesitated to recommend it's use personal friend of mine had been in poor health for some time and his applica tion for the insurance on his life had been re- iected on account of Bright's disease. Chem ical and microscopical examinations Of his urine revealed the presence of large quant1- ties of albumen and granular tube casts, which confirmed the correctness of the diag- nosis. After trying all the usual remedies, l
 directed him to use this preparation and was greatly surprised to observe a decided 1m- provement within a month, and within four months no tube casts could be discovered. At that time there was present only trace
 of albumen, and he felt, as he expressed It, perfectly we'll, and all through the influence of Warner's Safe Cure, the remedy he
 used.
 'tAfter this prescribed this medicine in full doses in both acute and chronic nephri- | tis [Bright's diseasel and with the most sat- isfactory results My observations were neither small in number nor hastily made. They extended over several months and em- braced large number of cases which have I proved so satisfactory to my mind that would earnestly urge upon my professional brethren the importance of giving fair and patient trial to Warmers Safe Cure. In 8 | large class of ailments where the blood is ob- I viously in an unhealthy state, especially where glandular engagements andinhamma- tory eruptions exist, indeed in many of these forms of chronic indisposition in which there \ is no evidence of organic mischief, but where
 the general health is depleted, the face sal ! low the urine colored constituting the con-
 dition in which the patient is said to be 'bil- ious,' the advantage gained by the use of this remedy is remarkable. In Bright's diseaseit seems to act as 8 solvent of albumen; to soothe and heel the inhamed membranes; to
 wash out the epithelial debris which blocks
 up the tu6uEi uri1aiteTT, and to prevent de- structive metamorphosis of tissue.
 Belonging as do to branch of the pro- fession that believes that no one school Of medicine knows all the truth regarding the treatment of disease, and being Independent enough to select any remedy that will relieve my patients, without reference to the source from whence 1t comes, I am glad to acknowl- edge and commend the merits of this remedy thus frankly.
 Respectfully yours,
 R. A. GUNN, M D. TT-sa
