the Welfare of All.
The following remarkable letter from one
OF the leading and best known scientific
writers OF the present day is specially sig
nihcant and should be of unusual yaluL to
all readers who desire to keep pace with
the march o. modern discoveries and events:
"A general demand for reformation is one
o. he most distinctive characteristics OF the
nineteenth century. The common people
as well as the more enlightened and refined,
cry out with no unc certain voice to be eman-
cipated from the slavery of conservatism and
superstition which has held the masses in
gross ignorance and superstition duringa
large portion of the worlds history, and in
the time of the Dark Ages came near oblit-
Grating 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 20 regard authority much less than ar
eument. Men and women are 10 longer
willing that a few individuals should
dictate to them what must be their
sentiments and opinions. They claim the
right to solve for themselves the great
| questions of the day and demand the general
| good of humanity shall be respected Il As
the result of this general awakening, we see,
| on every hand, unmistakable evidences of
reformatOry action. People who, few years
ago. endured suffering the most intense in
| the name of duty, now realize the utter fool
| lShneSS OF such a course. Men who were I'M
| der the bondage of bigoted advisers allowed
| their health to depart; suffered their consti-
| tutions to become undermined and finally
| died martyrs to a false system of treatment.
| There are millions of people filling untime-
| ly grave who might have lived to a green old
| age had their original troubles been taken
| in time or properly treated. There are thOus-
| ands of people to-day thoughtlessiy endur-
/ ing the first symptoms OF some serious mala-
| dy and without the slightest realization of
the danger that is before them. They have
occasional headaches; lack of appetite one
day and rayenous one the next, or an I'M
accountable feeling OF WEAKNESS.
| sometimes accompanied by nausea, and
| attribute all these troubles to the old
idea of a slight cold or malaria. 1t is high
| time that people awoke TO a knowledge OF
| the seriousness of these matters and enamel
| pated themselves from the professional
4 bigotry which controls them. When this is
| done and when all classes of physicians be-
| come liberal enough to exclude all dogmas,
| save that it is their duty to cure diseases as
quickly, and as safely as possible; to MAIN
| tain no other position than that of truth
| honestly aScertained, and to indOrse and
/ recommend any remedy that has been found
/ useful, no matter what its origin, there will
| be no more quarreling among the doctors,
1 while there will be great rejoicing through
1 out the world"
| Il am well aware of the censure that will
| be melted out to me for writing this letter,
| but feel that | can not be true TO my honest
| convictions unless | extend helping hand
| and indorse all that know to be good. The
| extended 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
| diseases are greatly increasing The treat
| ment of the doctors has been largely eX-
| perimental and many of their patients have
died while they were casting about for
| remedy to cure them"
| 1t is now over two years since my atten-
ton was first called to the use of a most
| wonderful preparation in the treatment OF
| Brights disease of the kidneys. Patients
| had frequently asked me about the remedy,
| and had heard of remarkable cures effected
| bI II, but like many Others / hesitated to re-
commend its use. A personal friend of mine
had been in poor health for some time, and
| his application for insurance on his life had
| been rejected on account of Bright's disease.
| Chemical and microscopical examinations of
his urine revealed the presence of large guam
| titles OF alDumen and granular tube casts,
| which confirmed the correctness of the dag
| nosis. After trying all the usual remedies, |
| directed him to use this preparation, and was
| greatly surprised TO observe a decided i'm
provement within month, and within four
/ months no tube casts could be discovered.
1 At that time there was present only a trace
| OF albumen, and he felt, as he expressed it,
| perfectly well, and all through the influence
| OF Warmers Safe Cure, the remedy he used"
| After this / prescribed this medicine in
full doses in both acute and chronic nephri-
tbs (Brights diseasel and with the most
| satisfactory results. My observations were
/ neither small in number nor hastily made
They extended over several months and en-
| braced a large number of cases which have
/ proved so satisfactory u my mind that /
would earnestly urge upon my professional
| brethren the importance of giving fair
and patient trial TO Warmers Safe Cure. In
| q large class of ailments where the blood is
| obviously in an unhealthy state, especially
| where glandular engagements and inflam-
| matory eruptions exist indeed in many OF
| those forms of chronic indisposition in which
| there is no evidence of organic mischief but
| where the general health is depleted. the face
sallow, the urine colOred, constituting the
| condition in which the patient is said to be
| bilious the advantage gained by the use of
this remedy is remarkable. In Brights dis
| ease it seems to act as q solvent OF albumen
| to soothe and heal the infiamed membranes;
| to wash out the epithelial debris which
blocks up the tubuli urlnlferi, and to pre-
| vent destructive metamorphosis of tissue"
Belonging do to branch of the pro-
| feSson that believes that no one school of
med cine 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 it comes, / am glad to acknowl-
| edge and commend the merits of this remedy
thus frankly. Respectfully yours
