its sentiments, a reporter OF II fnls Up paper 1asa Mas
facts in the matter. Accordingly ne y1slteo
Clifton Springs, saw the author OF the letter,
and with the following result.

Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter re-
marked: "Doctor, that letter Of yours has
created q good deal Of talk, and many OF our
readers has questioned its authenticity.
ITO what do you refcr," remarked thsdoc-
"Haye YOU not seen the paper
eyes, but I have not had time to read 1t
yet"
The reporter thereupon showed INN the
letter, which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM Co.,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, N. Y, Oct. II, 1888.
Dear Sir: I am using Warmers Safe Cure,
and I regard it as the best remedy for some
forms Of kidney disease that we have. lam
watching with great care some cases l am
now treating with it, and I hope for favor
able results.
I wish you might come down yourself, as
I would like very much to talk with you
about your sterling remedy and show you
over our institution.
Yours truly,
[Siguedl HENRY FOSTER, NJ D.
II do not see why anybody should be skep-
tlcal concerning that letter." remarked the
doctor.
"Isn't it unusual for a physician of your
standing and influence to commend a pro-
prietary preparatlont
"Idon't know how it may be with others, but
in this institution we allow no person to die
tate to us what we shall use. Our purpose is
to cure the sick, and for that work we use
ANYTHING we know to be valuable. Because
know Warmers Safe Cure is a very valua
BILE preparation, I commend it. a. its y
is manifested unde my use, so shall l add TO
the completeness of my Communication"
"Have you ever analysed it, doctorT
owe always analyze before We try any
preparation Of which we do. not know the
Constituents. But analysis. you know, only
gives the elements; it does not give the all I'M
pportant proportions. The remarkable power
Of Warmers Safe Cure undoubtedly consists
in the proportions according to which its ele-
ments are mixed" While there may be a
thousand remedies made Of the same ele-
ments, unless they are put together in proper
proportions they are worthless as kidney and
liver preparations.
hope some day to meat Mr.. Warner per-
sonally, and extend fuller congratulations to
him on the excellence Of his preparations I
have heard much Of him as the founder OF the
Warner Observatory, and as a man of large
benevolence. The reputed high character OF
the man himself gave assurance to me In the
first place that he would not put q remedy
upon the market that was not trustworthy;
and it was a source Of q good deal OF gratlh-
cation to me to find out by actual experiment
that the remedy itself sustained my impress
sions."
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster ID
precisely the sam found by DR.. Dio Lewis,
Dr. Robert A. Gum, e1-Sugeon-General
Gallagher and others, and proves beyond q
doubt the great efficacy Of the remedy which
has awakened so much attention in the land
and rescued so many men, women Il ch1I-
dren from disease and death.
