HIS OWN EXECUTOR.
A Well known GentIeman's PhiIan-
throphy and the Commotion
caused by One of His Letters.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.


Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Ne published in our local columns yes
terday morning significant letter from
a gentleman known personally or by
reputation to every person in the land
We have received number of letters
protesting against the use ofour columns
for such "palpable frauds and misrepre-
sentations;" therefore to confirm beyond
a doubt the authenticity of the letter,
and the genuineness of it's sentiments, q
reporter OF this paper was commissioned
to ascertain all the possible facts in the
matter. Accordingly he visited Clifton
Springs, saw the author ofthe letter, and
with the following result.
DIR. Henry Fostei, the gentleman in
question, is 63 or 81 years of aye and has
an extremely cordial manner. He pre-
sides as superintendent over the ccIe-
brated sanitarium which accommodates
over 500 guests and is PROFESSIONALLY the
leading health resort of the country
Several years ago this benevolent man
wisely determined to be his own execu-
tor; and, therefore turned over this mag
nificant property worth 500 600. as free
gift to board OF trustees, representing
the principal evangelical denominations
Among the trustees are Bishop A. c.
Coke, Protestant Episcopal, Buffalo;
Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philadelphia,
Methodist Episcopal; President M. b.
Anderson ofthe University o. Rochester;
Rev. DR.. Clark, Secretary of the A. B. C.
F. NJ, Boston. The benevolent purpose
of the institution is the care; lst.-of
evangelical missionaries and their fami-
lies whose health has been broken in their
work. 2nd.-of ministers, OF any de-
nomination, in good standing. 3rd.-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 distingu shed and
wealthy people who every year crowd
its utmost capacity. Here come men
and women who were once in perfect
health, but neglected the first symptoms
of disease. The uncertain pains they cit
at first were overlooked until their health
became imp ired. They little realized
the danger be ore them, nor how alarm
ing even trifing ailments might prove.
They constitute all clas es, including
ministers and bishops, lawyers, Judges
statesmen, mllionaires Journalists, coll
lege professors and officials from all parts
of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chroricle from his pocket, the reporter
remarked, doctor, that letter of yours
has created good deal OF talk, and many
of our readers have questioned its au-
thenticity."
TO what doyou refer?" remar ked the
doctor.
"Have you not seen the paper?"
eyes, but 1 have not had time to read
it yet"
The reporter thereupon showed him
the letter. which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM, Co. l
CLIFTON SPRINGS, n. Y, Oct. IL, 1883.
Dear Sir: am using Warmers Safe
Cure, and regard it as the best remedy
for some forms of kidney disease that
we have. / am watching with great care
some cases am now treating with it,
and hope for favorable results.
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.
[Signed] HENRY FOSTER. NJ. D.
II do not see why anybody should be
sceptical concerning that letter." re-
marked the doctor.
''lsn't it unusual for a physician of
your standing and influence to commend
a proprietary preparatlOn!
II don't know how it may be with
others, but in this institution we allow
no person to dictate to lis what we shall
use. Our purpose is to cure the sick, aud
for that work we use ANYTHING we know
to be valuable. Because [ know War
ner's Safe Cure is very valuable prep
o ton, commend it. AS it's power is
under my use. SO shall | add

'Haye you ever analysed it, doctor?"
eve always analyze before we try
any preparation of which we do not
know the constituents. But analysis

does not give the all important proper
IT, ns. The remarkable power Of War
ner's Safe Cure undoubtedly consists in
the proportions according t. which its
are mixed" While there NAV
be thousand remedies made of the
same elements, unless they are put to-
gether in proper proportions, they are
worthless as kidney and liver prepare
tons.
II hope some day to meet Mr.. War
ner personally, and extend fuller con-
gratulations to him on the excellence of
his preparations. I have heard much of
him as the founder of the Warner OBJ
and as man OF large benev-
0lence. The reputed high character of
the man himself gave assurance to me in
the first place that he would not put
remedy upon the market that was not
and it was source of
good deal of gratificationt me to find out
by actual experiment that the remedy
itself sustained my impressions"
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster
is precisely the same found by DIR. Dio
Lewis, DIR. Robert A. Gum, Elk Surgeon
General Gallagher and others, and
proves beyond doubt the great efficacy
of the remedy which has awakened SO
much attention in the land and rescued
80 many men, women and children from
Il iSeasa and death
