One OF His Letters.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.


Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
We published in our local columns yestor-
day morning significant letter from gem
tloman known personally or by reputation to
nearly every person in the land. We have
received number of letters protesting
against tho use of our columns for such pal
pablo frauds and Misrepresentation !" there
fore, to confirm beyond doubt the anthem
ticity of the letter, and the gonuiness of its
sentiments a reporter of this paper was COM
missioned to ascertain all the possible facts in
the matter. Accordingly he visited Clifton
Springs, saw the author of the letter, and
with the following result
Dr. Henry Foster, the gentleman in ques-
ton, is 90 or GA years of age, and has an OK
tremey cordial manner. He presides rs
superintendent over the celebrated SANTA
rum which accommodates over 800 guests and
is unquestionably 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 S300,000, rs u
free gift to n board of trustees, representing
the principal evangelical denominations.
Among the trustees are Bishop A. G, Coke
Protestant Episcopal, Buffalo; Bishop Mat
thew Simpson, Philadelphia, Methodist
Episcopal; President NJ. b. Anderson, of the
University of Rochester; Rev. DR.. CLARK,
secretary of the A. B. C.'F. 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, of ministers, of any
denomination, in good standing; third, of
members of any church, who otherwise
would be unable to secure such care and
treatment The current expenses Of the in
stitution are met by tho receipt from the
hundreds of distinguished and wealthy
people who every year 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 trilling ailments might prove.
They constitute all classes, including minis
ters and bishops, lawyers, judges, statesmen,
millionares journalists, college professors,
and officials from all parts of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and Chroni-
| Gle 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"
To what do you refer !" remarked the
doctor.
Have you not seen the paper"
"Yes, but / have not had tine to read it
yet"
The reporter thereupon showed him the
letter, which was rs follows
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM Co,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, n. Y, Oct. II 1883.
| DEAR SIR: | am using 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 am
now treating with it, and | hope for favor
able results.
wish you might come down yourself as l
would like very much to talk with you
about your sterling remedy and show you
over our institution.
Yours truly,
TSigned1 HENRY FOSTER, NJ d.
az do not see why anybody should be
skeptcal concerning that letter." remarked
the doctor.
"Isn'tit unusual for physician of your
standing and influence to commend pro-
preitary preparationW
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 very valu-
able preparation, l commend it, As its
power is manifested under my use, so shall
add to the completeness of my commenda
ton."
Have you ever analyzed il, doctorW
"We Away analyze before we try any pre-
paration of which we do not know the con
stituents. But analysis, your know, only
gives the elements; it does not give the al
important proportions. The remarkable
power of Warmers Safe Cure undoubtedly
consists in the proportions according to which
its elements are mixed. While there may
be u thousand remedies made of the SAINT
elements, unless they are put together II
} proper proportions, they are worthless as kid
ncy and liver preparations"
| II hope some day to meet Mr.. Warner per.
sonally, aud extend fuller congratulations tC
him on the excellence of his preparations,
| have heard much of him as the founder O.
, the Warner Observatory, and as n man o
, large benevolence. The reputed high charac
t ter of the man himself gave assurance to M
in the first place that he would not put
=. remedy upon the market that was not trust
: worthy; and it was the source Of good dea
4 of qualification to me to find out by actua
5 experiment that the remedy itsels sustained
my Impressions"
l The conclusion reached by DIR. Foster
: precisely the same found by DR.. Dlo Lewis
A DIR. Robert A. Gum, Ex-Surgeon Genera
Gallagher, and others, and proves beyond
Q doubt the great efficacy of the remedy whic
u has awakened so much attention in the Ian
t and rescued SO many men, women, and chill
z dren from disease and death.
