specially significant, and should be of

"a general demand for reformation
Is one of the most distinctive charac-
teristics of the nineteenth century. The
common people, as well as the more
enlightened and refined, cry out with
no uncertain voice to be emancipated
from the slavery of conservatism and
superstition which has held the masses
in gross ignorance during large por-
ton OF the worlds history, and in the
time OF the Dark Ages came near OBJ
hterating the last glimmer of truth
Dogmatic assertions and blind empiri-
cism arelosing caste among all classes Of
all countries People are beginning TO
think for themselves, and to regard au-
thority much less than argument. Men
and women are no longer willing that
q 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 gener-
al awakening, we see, on every hand,
uu mistakable evidences of reformatory
action. People who, few years ago,
endured suffering the most intense in
the name of duty, now realize the utter
fooishness of such course. Men who
were under the bondage of bigoted ad
visers allowed their health TO depart /;
suffered their constitutions to become
undermined and finally died as martyrs
to false system of treatment. There
millions of people filling untimely are
graves who might have lived to green
old ago had their original troubles been
taken in time or properly treated.
There are thousands of people to-day,
thoughtlessly enduring the first symp-
toms of some serious malady and without
the slightest realization of the danger
that is before them. They have occa-
sional headaches lack Of appetite
one day and ravenous one the next,
or an unaccountable feeling of weari-
ness, sometimes accompanied by nau-l
sea and attribute all these troubles To-
the old idea Of a slight cold or mala
ria. 1t is high time that people
awoke to knowledge of the serious
ness of these matters and emancipated
themselves from the professional bigot-
ry which controls them. When this
is done and when all classes of physi-
clans become liberal enough to exclude
all dogmas, save that it is their duty to
cure disease as quickly, and as safely
as possible to maintain no other posi-
tions than that of truth honestly ascer-
tanned, and to endorse and recommend
any remedy that has been found useful,
no matter what its origin, there will be
no more qdarreling among the doctors,
while there will be great rejoicing
throughout the world"

all know to be good The extended
publications for the past few years, and
graphic descriptions of different disea-
ses of the kidneys aud liver have
awakened the medical profession to the
tact that these diseases are greatly in
creasing. The treatment of the doc
tors has been largely experimental and
many OF their patients have died while
they were casting about for a remedy
TO cure them
ut Is now two years since my atten-
tion was first called to the use of a
most wonderful preparation in the
treatment of Bright's disease of the
Kidneys. Patients had frequently ask
ed me about the remedy and had
heard of remarkable cures effected by
1t, but like many others / hesitated to
recommend its use, A personal friend
of mine had been in poor health for
some time and his application for in
surance on his life had been rejected
on account of Brights disease Chem.
ical and microscopical examination of
his urine revealed the presence of large
quantities of albumen and granular
tube casts, which confirmed the cor
rectness of the diagnosis. After trying
all the usual remedies, / directed him
to use this preparation and was greatly
surprised to observe decided improve
ment within month, and within four
months, no tube casts could be discov-
cred. At that time there was present
only a trace of albumen, and he
telt as he expressed it, perfectly well,
ant. all through the influence Of War
ner's Safe Cure, the remedy he used.
"After this l prescribed this medi-
cine in full doses in both acute and
chronic nephritis, Bright's disease and
with the most satisfactory results. My
observations were neither small in |
number nor hastily made. They ex-
tended over several months and EN-
braced large number Of cases which
have 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 large class
OF ailments where the blood is obvious
ly in an unhealthy state, especially |
where glandular engagements and in |
hammatory eruptions exist, indeed in |
many of those forms of chronic indis
position in which there Is NO evidence
of organic mischief, but where the gen
eral health is depleted, the face sallow,
the urine colored, constituting the con
dition in which the patient is sain TO be |
bilious, the advantage gained by the
use of this remedy is remarkable In
Bright's disease it seems to act as n |
solvent of albumen to soothe and heal |
the inhamed membranes to wash out |
the eipthelial debris which blocks up
the tub,sH unteri, and TO prevent a de |
structive metamorphosis of TISSUE.

profession 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 it comes, l am glad to acknowl-
