HIS OWN ExEonraR
A WelI-KnevVn Gentleman's phil

Democrat and Chronicl,

/
| firm beyond doubt the authenticity
of the letter, and the genuineness OF
its sentiments, a reporter of this
paper was commissioned to ascertain
all the possible facts in the mat
ter. Accordingly he visited Clifton
Springs, saw the author of the letter.
and with the following result:
DIR. Henry Foster, the gentleman
in question, is sixty-three or sixty.
four years of age and has an ex-
tremely cordial manner. He pre-
sides as superintendent over the
celebrated sanitarium which accom-.
modates over five hundred guests
and is unquestionably the leading
health resort of the country. Sew
! eral years ago this benevolent man
| wisely determined to be his own
executor and, therefore, turned
over this magnificent property worth
$500, 900, as free gift to a board OF
trustees, representing the principal
evangelical denominations. Among
the trustees are Bishop A. G. Coke,
Protestant Episcopal, Buffalo, NY. ;;
Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philadel.
phia, Methodist Episcopal (; Presi-
dent M. B. Anderson, of the Uni
versity of Rochester; Rev. DIR Clark
Secretary Of the A. B. G. f. M,
Boston. The benevolent purpose OF
the institution is the care First-ot
evangelical missionaries and their
| families whose health has been bro
| ken in their work. Second-of min
listers, of any denomination, in good
standing. Third-of members OF
any church; who otherwise would
be unable to secure such care and
treatment. The current expenses
of the institution are met by the
receipt from the hundreds of distin-
guished and wealthy people who
every year crowd its utmost capac-
ity. Here come men and women
who were once in perfect health,
but neglected the first symptoms of
disease. The uncertain pains they
felt at first were overlooked until
their health became impaired. They
little realized the danger before
them, nor how alarming even tri-
fling ailments might prove. They
constitute all classes, including min
listers and bishops, lawyers, judges,
statesmen, miliionaires, Journalists,
college professors and officials from
all parts OF the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat
and Chronicle from his pocket, the
reporter remarked, doctor, that
letter of yours has created a good
deal of talk, and many of our readers
have questioned its authenticity"
"To what do you REFER" remarked
the doctor.
"Have you not seen the paper?
Eyes, but | have not had time to
read it yet"
The reporter thereupon showed
him the letter, which was as fol-
lows:
CLIFTON SP's SANITARIUM Co.,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, N. Y,
October IL, 1888.
Dear Sir: am using Warmers
Safe Cure, and l regard it as the
best remedy for some forms of kid
ney disease that we have. [ am
watching with great care some cases
| am now treating with 1t, and
hope for favorable results.
l wish you might come down
yourself, as | would like very much
to talk with you about your sterling
remedy and show you over our in
stitutiOn. Yours truly,
(Signed) HENRY FOSTER, M. D.
81 do not see why anybody should
be skeptical concerning that letter."
remarked the doctor.
"Isn't it unusual for a physician
of your standing and influence to
commend proprietary prepare
tion?"
81 don't know how it may be
with others, but in this institution
we allow no person to dictate 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 valuable prepar-
ton, | commend it. AS its power
is manifested under my use, so shall
[ add to the completeness of my
commendatiOn."
"Have you ever analysed it, doc
tory"
ave always analyze before we
try any preparation of which we do
not know the constituents. But
analyze, you know, only gives the
elements; it does not give the all
important proportions. The re-
markable power of Warner'r Safe
Cure undoubtedly consists in the
proportions according to which It's
elements are mixed. While there
may be thousand remedies made
of the same elements, unless they
are put together in proper proper
tions, they are worthless as kidney
and liver preparations"
81 hope some day to meet Mr..
Warner personally, and extend
fuller congratulations to him on the
excellence of his preparations. /
have heard much of him as the
founder of the Warner Observatory,
and as man of large benevolence.
The reputed high character of the
man himself gave assurance to me
in the first place that he would not
was not trustworthy ; and it was a
source OF good deal OF qualification
to me to find out by actual expert
ment that the remedy itself sustain
ed my impressions"
The conclusion reached by DIR.
Foster is precisely the same found
by DR.. bio Lewis, DIR. Robert A.
Gum, ex-Surgeon General Gala
CHER and others, and proves beyond
a doubt the great efficacy of the
remedy which has awakened so
much attention in the land and
rescued so many men, women and
C hildren from disease and death.
