fccting the Welfare OF ALL
The following remarkable letter from one
of the leading and best known scientific
writers of the present day is specially agnid:
can't, and should be Of unusual value to all
readers who desire to keep pace with the
march Of modern discoveries and events: }
GA general demand for reformation Is one
of the most distinctive characteristics OF the
nineteenth century. The common people, as
well as the more enlightened n refined, cry
out with no uncertain voice to be emancipa-
ted fir m the slavery Of conservatism and su-
perstition which has held the masses In gross
ignorance during a large portion OF the
Worlds history, and in the time Of the Dark
Ages came near celebrating the last gEm-
mer Of truth. Dogmatic assertions and
blind empiricism are losing caste among
oil classes OF all countries People
are beginning to think for them
selves, and to regard authority much less
than argument. Men aud women are no
longer willing that q few individuals should
dictate to them what must be their senti-
ments and opinions. They claim theright to
solve for themselves the great questions Of
the day, and demand that the general good
of humanity shall be respected. As the re-
suit of this general awakening we Zee, on
every hand, unmistakable evidences of refor-
matory action. People who, q few years
ago, endured suffering the most intense IN
the name Of duty, now realize the utter fool
under the bondage Of bigoted advisers allowed
their health to depart: suffered their
constitutions to become undermined
and finally died as martyrs to q false system
of treatment. There are millions OF people
filling untimely graves who might have Lived
to q green old age had their original troubles
been taken in time or properly treated; There
are thousands Of people to-day thought.essly
enduring the first symptoms OF some serious
malady and without the slightest reaiiza ahoIi
of the danger that IS before them. Ihey
have occasional headaches; q lack Of appetite
one day and a ravenous one the next, or
an u~naccountable feeling Of WEAKNESS,
sometimes accompanied by nausea, and
attribute all these troubles to the old
idea of a slight cold or malaria It Is high
time that people awoke to knowledge OF the
seriousness Of these matters and emancipated
themselves from the professional bigotry
which controls them. When this Is done and
when all classes Of physicians become liberal
their duty to cure disease as quickly, and as
safely as possible; to maintain no other posi-
tion than that Of truth honestly ascertained,
and to indorse and recommend any remedy
that has been found useful, no matter what
it's origin, there will be no more guarding
among the doctors, while there will be great
rejoicing throughout the world"
II am well aware Of the censure that will
he melted out to me tor writing this letter,
Init I feel that I cannot be true to my honest
convictions unless I extend q helping hand
and indorse all that I know to be good. The
extended publications for the past few years,
and graphic descriptions Of different diseases
If the kidneys and liver have awakened the
medical profession to the fact that these dis
cases are greatly increasing. The treatment
of the doctors has been largely experimental,
and many of their patients have died while
they were casting about for a remedy to cure
them.n
at is now over two years since my atten-
tion was first called to the use Of a most won.
derful preparation in the treatment of
Bripht's disease of the kidneys. Patients had
frequently asked me about the remedy, and
I had heard of remarkable cures effected by
il. but like many others I hesitated to recon-.
mend it's use. A personal friend OF mine had
been in DOOR health for some time, and his
application for insurance on bis LIE had
been rejected o. account OF Bright:
disease. Chemical and microscoplcal e1
animation Of bis urine revealed TN
presence of large quantities Of albumen anf
granular tube casts, which confirmed thu
correctness Of the diagnosis. After trying
all the usual remedies, I directed him to U.s.
this preparation and was greatly surprised
to observe q decided Improvement within
month, and within four months no tube
casts could be discovered. At that time there
was present only a trace Of albumen, and he
felt, as he expressed it, perfectly WELL and
oil through the influence of Warmers Safe
Cure, the remedy he used"
"After this I prescribed this medicine II
full doses in both acute and chronic nephri-
tbs. (Bright's disease) and with the most salts
factory results. My observations we're neither
small in number nor hastily made. They ex
tended over several months and embraced
large number Of cases which have proved &C
satisfactory to my mind, that I would ear
nestly urge upon my professional brethren
the importance Of giving q fair and patient
trial to Warmers Safe Cure. In a large class
Of ailments where the blood Is obviously II
ar unhealthy state, especially where glandu
eruptions exist, indeed in many Ct 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 disease it seem:
to act as q solvent Of a1bumen; to soothe and
heal the inf 1med membranes; to wa<h GU,
the epithelial debris which blocks up the tub
uli uriniferi, and to prevent q destructive
metamorphosis Of tissue"
Belonging as I do to q branch Of the pro
fession 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, I am glad to acknowl
edge and commend the merits Of this remedy
thus frankly.
Respectfully yours,
