and the Conan otion Caused BY
One Of His Letters,
Rochester Democrat and chronicle.
We published in our local columns
yesterday morning significant letter
from gentleman known personally or
by reputation to nearly every person in
the land. We have received number
of letters protesting against the use of
our columns for such ''palpable frauds
and misrepresentation" therefore, to
confirm beyond doubt the authenticity
of the letter, and the genuineness of its
sentiments, reporter of this paper was
commissioned to ascertain all the posi-
BILE facts in the matter. Accordingly he
visited Clifton Springs, saw the author
of the letter, and with the following re-
suit:
DR.. Henry Foster, the gentleman in
question, is 6S or "a years of age, and
has an extremely cordial manner. He
presides as superintendent over the
celebrated sanitarium which accom-
dates over 500 guests and is I'M
questionably the leading health re-
sort of the country. Several years
ago UCuCtOlCut udh WlSClJ uC-
tormined to be his own executor; and,
therefore, turned over this magnificent
property, worth $500, 900, as free gift
to board of trustees, representing the
principal evangelical denominations.
Among the trustees are Bishop A.C.Coxe
Protestant Episcopal, Buffalo; Bishop
Matthew Simpson, Philadelphia, Meth
odist Episcopal; President M. B. An
derson, of the University of Rochester;
Rev. DR.. Clark, Secretary of the A. B.
c. +. NJ, Boston. The benevolent pur-
pose of the institution is the care: LIST
of evangelical missionaries and their
families whose health has been broken
in their work. 2d-of ministers, of any
denomination, in good standing. Sd
of members of any church, who other
wise would be unable to secure such
care and treatment. The current ex-
penses of the institution are met by the
receipt from the hundreds of distin-
guished and wealthy people who every
year crewd 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 trifiing
ailments might prove. They constitute
all classes, including ministers and
bishops, lawyers, judges, statesmen,
millionaires, journalists, college profess
sors and officials from all parts of the
land.I
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter
remarked: ''Docter, that letter of
yours has created good deal of talk,
and many of our readers have ques-
toned its authenticity"
"To what do you referP' remarked
the doctor.
"Have you not seen the paper?"
eyes, but I have not had time to read
it YETI
The reporter thereupon showed him
the letter, which was as follows.
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM Co,)
CLIFTON SPRINGS N. Y,
Oct. II, 1883.
DEAR SIR: lam using Warmers Safe
Cure, and / regard it as the best rem
edy for some forms of kidney disease
that we have. 1 am watching with great
care some cases l. am now treating
with it, and 1 hope for favorable results.
1 wish you might come down yourself,
as would like very much to talk with
you about your sterling remedy, and
show you over our institution.
Yours truly,
[Signed.l HENRY FOSTER, MD.
81 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 COM
mend a proprietary preparationP"
81 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 I know
Warmers Safe Cure is a very valuable
preparation, l commend it. AS it's
power is manifested under my use, so
shall 1 add to the completeness of my
commentator.
"Have you ever analysed it, doctor?"
awe 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-important proper
tons. The remarkable power of War
ner's Safe Cure undoubtedly consists
in 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 prepare
lions.
81 hope some day to meet Mr.. War
ner personally, and extend fuller con-
gratulations to HIM ON the excellence
