Upon Subject of Vital Interest, Anoct-
ing the Welfare of All.
The following remarkable letter from one
of the leading and best known scientific
writers of the present day is especially
significant, and should be of unusual value
to all readers who desire tc keep pace with
tie 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 emaneipat ed from the slavery of con-
seryatism and superstition 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 OBJ
literating the last Rlimmer of truth. Dog
matte assertions and blind empiricism. are
losing caste among all classes of all coun-
tries. People are beginning TO think for
themselves, and to regard authority much
less than argument. Zen and women are
no longer willing that few individuals
should dictate to them what must be their
sentiments and opinions. They claim the
right to solve Tor themselves the great
questions of the day and demand that the
general good of humanity shall be re-
| spected. As the result Of this general
awakening, we see, on every hand, unmis-
taxable evidences of reformatory action.
| People who, few years ago, endured suf-
| fering the most intense in the name OF
/ duty, now realize the utter foolishness of
| such course. Men who were under the
| bondage of bigoted advisers allowed their
/ health to depart; suffered their constitu-
tions to become undermined and finally
! died as martyrs to a false system of treat
1 ment. There are millions of people filling
untimely graves who might have lived to
| green old age had their original troubles
/ been taken in time or properly treated.
/ There are thousands of people to-day,
1 thoughtlessly enduring the first symptoms
/ OF some serious malady and without the
| slightest realization of the danger that Is
! before them. They have occasional head
aches; a lack of appetite day and a
| ravenous one the next, or an unaccounta-
/ bic feeling of WEAKNESS, sometimes accom-
panied 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 a 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 enough
/ to exclude all dogmas, save that 1t is their
| duty to cure disease as quickly and as
1 safely as possible; to maintain no other POI
| sitiou than that of truth honestly aseer-
| tanned, and to indorse andrecommend any
! remedy that has been found useful, no mat
| ter what its origin, there will be no more
! quarreling among the doctors, while there
| will be great rejoicing throughout the
world.
81 am we'll aware of the censure that
| will be melted out to me for writing this
| letter but l feel that I can not be true to
! my honest convictions unless l extend a
| helping hand and indorse all that 1 know
| to be good. The extended publications for
the past few years, and graphic descrip-
| tions of different diseases of the kidneys
| and liver have awakened the medical pro-
| fession to the fact that these diseases 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 remedy to
| cure them.
| tention was first called to the use of a most
! wonderful preparation in tho treatment of
| BrIght's disease of the kidneys. Patients
had frequently asked me about the remedy
| and | had heard of remarkable cures eff
fected by it, but like many others I hesi-
| tated to recommend its use. A personal
| friend of mine had been IN poor health for
some time and his application for insur-
ance on his life had been rejected on
| count of BrighPs disease. Chemical and
| miCrOScOpical examinations of his urine re-
vealed the presence of large quantities of
albumen and granular tube casts, which
| confirmed the correctness of the diagnosis
After trying all the usual remedies, di-
I rected him to use this preparation and was
greatly surprised 60 observe decided inn
provement within month, and within
four months no tube casts could be dis
covered. q At that time there was present
only 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 l prescribed this medicine in
full doses in both acute and chronic
4 phritis, lBright's diseased and with the
ulOSG StblS factory results. ObS6IFdlIOHS
were neither small in number nor hastily
made. They extended over several months
and embraced a large number of cases
/ which have proved so satisfactory to my
! mind, that I would earnestly urge upon
nv professional brethren the Importance
OF giving fair and patient trial to War
ner's Safe Cure. In a large class of all
ments where the blood is obviously in an
unhealthy state, especially where gIandu-
lar engagements and infiammatory eTup-
tions exist, indeed in many of those forms
of chronic indisposition in which there is
no evidence of organic mischief, but where
the general health is depleted, the face sal
low, 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 BrighPs
disease it seems to act a solvent of al
bumen; to soothe and heal the infamed
membranes: to wash out the epithe iat
debris which blocks up the tubllt UripifcTt,
and o prevent destructive metamorphosis
of tissue.
Belonging as I do to branch of the
profession that believes that no one school
of medicine knows ali the truth regarding
the treatment of disease, and being inde-
pendent enough to select any remedy that
will relieve my patients, without reference
to the source from whence it comes, / am
glad to acknowledge and commend the
merits of this remedy thus frankly.
Respectfully yours.
