The FLOWING remarkable letter from one
of the leadin- and best known scientific
cant, and should be of unusual value to all
-aders who desire TO keep pace with the
march If modern discoveries and events:
"a general demand for reformation is one
81 the most distinctive characteristics Of The
nineteenth century. The common people, as
well as the more enlightened and refined. CRY
out with 10 uncertain voice to be enanci PC
t4i fr m the slavery Of conservatism and Sd
rerstition which has held the masses-in gross
ignorance during a large portion Of the
world history. and in the time of the Dark
Ages came near celebrating the last glim-
,ner Of truth. DoCInatlc assertions and
blind empiricism are losing caste among
all classes Of all countries, People
are beginning 10 think for them
selves. ard to regard authority much less
than argument. Men and women are no
longer willing that a few individuals should
dictate to them what must be their senti-
r1ents and opinions, They claim theright to
solve for themselves the great questions Of
the dav, and demand that the general good
of humanity shall be respected. As the re
suit of this general awakening we see. on
every hand, unmistakable evidences OF ref0r-
matory action. People who, a few years
ago, endured suffering the most intense in
the name Of duty, now realize the utter fool
ishness of such a course. Men who were
under the bondage Of hlgoted advisers allowed
their Halth to depart; suffered their
constitutions t. become undermined
and finally died as martyr to a false system
of treatment. There are millions of people
filling uutlmcly graves who might have nved
to q green Old age had their original troubles
been taken in time OF properly treated. 1here
are thousands Of people to-day thouGhtessly
enduring the first symptoms of some serious
| maladv and without the sli2htest realization
of the danger that is before them. They
have occasional headaches; a lack OF appetite
one day and a ravenous one the next, or
an u~naccountable feeling Of WEAKNESS,
sometimes accom- anled by nausea, ana
attribute all these troubles to the Old
idea of q slight cold or malaria. 1t Is nigh
time that u" pie awoke to a knowledge CT the
seriou>nesS Of these matters AID ennanciIated
themselves from the professional blgotry
which controls them. When this is done and
when all classes of physicians b come LIBERAL
enough to exclude all do4mas, save that it is
their duty to cure disease as quickly, and as
safely as possible; to MAINTAIN 40 other posi-
ton than that Of truth honest y ascertalnel,
and to indorse and L. commend any remedy
that has be II found useful, 10 matter what
its orr in, there VIII be no more quarreling
among the doctors, while there viii be great
rejoicing throughout the world"
:" am we'll aware OF the censure that will
be melted out to me for writing this letter,
but | feel that | cannot be true to my honest
convictions unless | extend a helping hand
and indorse all that Lklow t. be good. The
extended publications for the past few years,
and graphic descriptions of different diseases
of the kidneys and liver have awakened tie
medical profession to tie tact that these dis
eases 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"
1T is now over two years since my atten-
ton was first called to the use of a most Won
dcrful preparation i'll the treatment Of
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Patients had
frequently asked me about the remedy, and
l had heard of remarkable cures effected by
it, but like many others | h%esitated to recon-
mend its use. A personal friend # mine had
been in poor health for some time, and his
application for insurance on his life hal
been rejected on account of Bright's
disease. Chemical and microscopical ex-
animation Of his urine revealed tie
presence OF large quantities Of albumen and
granular tube casts, which confirmed the
correctness Of the diagnosis. After trying
all the usual remedies, | directed him 20 use
this preparation and was greatly SURPRISED
to observe a decided Improvement within q
month, and within four months 10 tub
casts could be discovered. At that time there
was present only a trace of albumen, and he
felt, as he expressed it, perfectly we'll and
all through the influence of Warmers Safe
Cure, the remedy he used"
After this | pres ribbed this medicine ir
fulld doses IN both a ute and chronic nephri-
lis. tBright's disease and with the mos salts
ia tory results. My observations were neither
small IN number nor hastily made. They cx
tended over several months and embraced g
large number OF cases which have proved s.
satisfactory to my mind, that | would ear:
nestly urge upon my professional brethren
the Importance Of giving a fair and patient
trial to Warmers Safe Cure. In a large class
Of ailments where the blood is obviously il
an unhealthy state, especially where gan ll
