THRoPuY AND THE CoMMoTIoN
CAUSED ny ONE OF his
LETTERS

ift thos
dorchester Democrat and Chroniclt)
We published on our third page yes.
terday morning a magnificent letter
from gentleman known personally or
reputation to nearly every person in the
land. We have received a number of
letters protesting against the use af our
columns for such 'palpable frauds aud
misrepresentation !" therefore, to con.
firm beyond doubt the authenticity of
the letter, and the'genuineness of its SEN
timents, a reporter OF this paper was
commissioned to ascertain all the posi-
BILE facts in the matter Accordingly
he visited Clifton Springs, saw the au-
thor of the letter, and with the follow
ing result:
Dr. Henry Foster, the gentleman in
question, as 63 or Ga years of age and
has an extremely cordial manner. He
presdes as superintendent over the
celebrated sanitarum which accommo.
dates over 500 guests and is unques-
tionably the leading health resort of the
country. Several years ago this bene-
violent man wisely determined to be his
own executor; and, therefore turned
over this magnificent property worth
100000, as free gift to board of
trustees, representing the principal
evangelical denominations. Among
the trustees are Bishop A. G. Coke, Pro
testaut Episcopal, Buffalo Bishop
Matthew Simpson, Philadelphia, Me
thodist Episcopal President M b.
Anderson, of the University of Roches-
ter Rev. DIR. Clark, Secretary of the
A. b. G. +. NJ, Boston. The benevo-
lent purpose of the institution is the
care 1st.--of evangelical missionar
les and their families whose health has
been broken in their work. 2nd.-of
ministers, of any denomination, in good
standing, 3rd.-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 year crowd its utmost capa-
| city. Here come men and women who
were once in perfect health, but neg
lected the first symptoms of disease.
The uncertain pains they felt at first
were overlooked until their health be-
came impaired. They little realized
the danger before them, nor how alarm
ing even trifiing ailments might prove.
They constitute all classes, including
ministers and bishops, lawyer, judges,
statesmen, millionaries, journalists, col
lege 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 good deal of talk, and
many of our readers have questioned its
authenticity"
ITO what do you refer g. remarked
the doctor.
"Have you never seen the paper"
"Yes, but have not had time to
read it yet
The reporter thereupon showed him
the letter, which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM Co., !
CLIFTON SPRINGS, N. Y, Oct IL, 1883 :
DEAR SIR l am using Warmers Safe
Cure, and | regard it as the best rene.
Idy Cor 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 ia
vorable results.
/ wish you might come down your.
self, as l would like very much to talk
with you about your sterling remedy
and show you over our institution.
Yours truly,

Il do not see why anybody should
be skeptical concerning that letter." re
marked the doctor.
"Isn't it unusual for physician o.
your standing and influence to com
mend proprietary preparation 7"
don't know how it may be will
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 any
thing we know to be valuable. Because
know Warmers Safe Cure is very
valuable preparation, | commend it. Al
| its power is manifested under my use
SO shall add to the completeness of my
commendation.
"Have you ever analyzed it, doc
tor q
ave 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 the all imortant proper,
tions. The remarkable power of War.
ner's Safe Cure undoubtedly consists il
the proportions according 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 pre-
parations.
~ hope some day to meet Mr.. War
ner personally, and extend further con,
gratulations to him on the excellence
of his preparations. | have heart
much of him as the founder of tn,
Warner Observatory, and as man o.
large benevolence. The reputed higt
character of the man himself gave as
surance to me in the first place that ht
would not put remedy upon tn,
market that was not Trustworthy ant
it was source of q good deal of graft
, fication to me to find out by actual ex
, pertinent that the remedy itself sustain
ed my impressions.
The conclusion reached by DIR. Fos
, ter Is precisely the same found by Dr.
| Dio Lewis, DR.. Robert A, Gum, Ex
Surgeon-General Gallagher and Others
, and proves beyond a doubt the grea
efficacy Of the remedy which ha
/ awakened so much attention in tn
land and rescued so many men, VIC
Z men and children from disease an
/ death.
