| The following remarkable letter from one OF the
! leading and best known scientific writer's of the
present day is specially significant and should be
of unusual value to all readers who desire to keep
pace with the march Of modern discoveries and
events:
"a general demand for reformation is one Of the
most distinctive characteristics of the nineteenth
| century The common people. as well as the more
enlightened and refined, cry out with no uncertain
| voice TO be emsnciplted from the slavery OF con-
ssrvatism and superstition which has heid the
masses in gross ignorance during large portion OF
the worlds history, and in the time OF the Dark
| Aces came near obliterating the last giimmer OF
truth Dogmatic assertions and blind empiricism
are losing caste among all classes OF all countries.
People are beginning 10 think for themselves, and
to regard authority much less tnan argument Men
and women ave no longer willing that few in
diyiduss should dictate to them what mast be their
sentiments and opinions. They claim the right TO
solve for themselves the great questions Of the day.
and demand that the general good Of humanity
shall be respected As the result OF this general
awakening we see, on every hand, unmistakable
| evidences Of reformatory action. People who, a
few years ago, endured suffering the most intense
in the Of duty now realize the utter foolish
ness Of such a course. Men who were under the in
doence of bigotad advisers allowed their health to

dermined, and finally died martyrs to false sYs-
TEN Of treatment There are millions Of people fill
ing Untimely graves who might have lived to a
green old age had their original troubles been taken
in time OF properly treated. There are thousands
of people to- day thoughtlessly enduring the first
symptoms OF some serious malady, and without ihs
slightest realization OF the danger That Is before
them. They have occasional headaches; a lack Of
| appetite one day and ravenous one the next, or
| an unaccountable WEAKNESS, sometimes aceempa-
MED 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 knowledge of the
seriousness of these matters and emsncipated them
selves from the professional 5gotry which controls

other position than that Of truth honestly ascer-

doctors while there viii be great rejoicing through
out the world.
AZ am well aware of the eensure that will be
melted out to me for writing this letter, but feel
that cannot be true to RY honest convictions I'M
less / extend helping hand and indOrse all that
know to be good The extended publication for
the past few years, aud graphic descriptions Of the
different diseases Of the kidneys and liver, have
awakened the medical profession TO the fact that
these diseases are greatly incre3 sing The treat

were casting about for remedy to cure them.

first called to the of most wonderful prepara-
ton in the treatment OF Brights disease of the kid

remedy and had heard of remarkable cures effect
ed by 1t, but like many others hesitated TO rec
ommend its use. A personal friend Of mine had
been in poor health for some time and his applica

account of Brights disease Chemical and mi
