HIS OWN EXECUTOR.
A Well-known Gentleman's Philan.
throphy and the Commotion
Caused by one of his
Letters.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. ]


day morning a significant letter from a
gentleman known personally or by reputa-
ton to nearly every person in the land. We
have received number of letters protest
ing against the use of our columns for such
'palpable frauds and misrepreseLta tions;"
therefore, to confirm beyond DOUBT the
authenticity of the letter, and the genuine
ness Of its sentiments, reporter of this
paper was commissioned to ascertain all
thes possible facts in the matter. Accor-
dinghy he visited Clifton Springs, saw the
aathor of the letter, and with the following
result.
DIR. Henry Foster, the gentleman in ques
ton, is 63 or GA years of age and has an ex-
tremely cordial manner. j. lie presides as
superintendent over the celebrated SAM
tarium which accommodates over 500 guests
and is unquestionably the leading health
resort of the country. Several years ago
this benevolent man wisely determined to
be his own executor; and, therefore turned
over this magnificent property worth $780,
600; as a free gift to board of trustees,
representing the principal evangelical de-
nominations. Among the trustees are
Bishop a. G Coke, Protestant Episcopal
Buffalo; Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philad-
elpha Methodist Episcopal; President NJ
b. Anderson, ofthe University of Rochester;
Rev. DR.. Clark, Secretary of the a. Il. c.
+. NJ, Boston. The benevolent purpose of
the institution is the care: Ist.-of evan
gelical missionaries 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 cur.
rent expenses of the institution are met by
the receipt from the hundreds of dstin-
guished and wealthy people who every year
crowd its utmostj 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 be-
came impaired. They little realized the
danger before them, nor how alarming even
tritiing ailments might prove. They con-
stitute all classes, including ministers and
bishops, lawyers, judges, statesmen, mil
lionaires, journalists, college professors and
officials from all parts of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter, re-
marked, doctor, that letter of yours has
created a good deal of talk, and many of
our readers have questioned its authen.
ticity.'
'"To what do you refer? remarked the
doctor.
'Have you not seen the paper %
eyes, but l 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. V, Oct, IL, 1888
DEAR SIR: l am using Warmers Safe
Cure, and l. regard it as the best remedy
for some forms of kidney disease that we
have. i ani watching with great care some
cases | am now treating with it, and hope
for favorable 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,
Signed HENRY FOSTER NJ. ID.
Il do not see why anybody should be
skeptiral concerning that letter" remarked
the doctor.
'I>n't it unusual for 4 physician of Your
standing and influence I" Dmineir'l II pro-
prietary preparation?
81 don't know how il may b. with others
to dictate to us what shall use. Our
purpose is to cure the sick, and for that
work we use anything We know to b0 val
liable. Because | know Warmers Safe
Cure Is very valuable PROPAGATION, | com
menIl 1t. As its power is manifested under
my use, SO shall | add to the completeness
of my commentator"
''Ilave you ever analysed it, doctor?"
I'VE always analyze before we try any
preparation of which we do not know the
constituents. But anal ysis, you know, only
gives he elements; it does not give the all
important proportions. The remarkable
power of Warmers Safe Care undoubtedly
consists in the proportions according to
which its elements are mixed" While
there may be a thousand remedies made of
the same elements, unless they are put
together in proper proportions, they are
worthless As kidney and liver preparations.
81 hope some day to meet Mr. Warner
personally, and extend fuller congratulate
tons TO him on the excellence of his prep.
arations have heard much of him as the
founder of the Warner Observatory. and as
Il man of large benevolence. The reputed
high character of the man himself gave as
Surance 10 me in the first place that he
would not put remedy upon the market
that was not trustworthy; and it was a
source of a good deal of qualification to me
to find out by actual experiments that the
remedy itself sustained my impressions.
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster is
precisely the same found by DIR. bio Lewis,
DR.. Robert a. Gum, Ex Surgeon-General
Gallagher and others, and proves beyond a
doubt the great efficacy of the remedy
which has awakened so much attention in
the land and rescued so many men, women
