Rochester Democrat and ChrOntce.1
We published in our local columns yes
ter.ay morning significant letter from
gentleman known personally or by reputa-
non to nearly every person in the land.
We have received a number of letters pro-
testing against the use of our columns for
such sspal, able frauds and misrepresenta-
tions;'' therefore, to conf, III beyond
doubt the authenticity of the letter, ana
the genuineness OF It's sentiments, arePort-
er of this paper was commissioned to as
certa in all the possible facts in the matter.
Accordingly he visited Clifton Springs,
saw the author of the letter, and with the
DR.. Henry Foster, the gentleman in ques-
ton, is IS or "a years of age and has an eN-
tremely cordial manner. He Presides as
sun erintendent over the celebrated SAM
tarium which accommodates over ooo
guests and is unquestionably the Ieadln;
health resort of the country. Several
years ago this benevolent man Wisely os-
termined to be his own executor. and,
therefore turned over this magnificent
property worth 100000 as a free gift to a
board of trustees, representing the Prlncl-
pal evangelical denominations. Among
the trustees Bishop A. G. Coke, Prot
estant Episcopal. Buffalo; Bishop Mathew
Simpson, Philadelphia, Methodist Episco-
pal; Presideut N. b. Anderson, of the Uni
yersity of Rochester; Rev. DIR. Clark, Secre-
tarv OF the A. Is. CT. NJ. Boston. The benevo-
lent purpose of the institution is the care:
1st-of evangelical missionaries and their
families whose health has been broken IN
their work. 2d-of ministers, of any de.
nomination, in good standings; 3d-of
members of any church; who otherwise
would be unable to secure such care and
treatment. The current expenses OF the IN
stitution are met Ly the receipts fl ON the
hundreds of distinguished ana wealthy
people who every year crowd It's utmost
capacity. Here come men and women WHO
were once in perfect health, but neglected
the first symptoms of disease. The uncer,
tain pains they felt at first were overlooked
until their health became impaired. they
little realized the danger before them, nor
how alarming even IT. fling ailments might
prove. They constitute all classes, IN
Guiding ministers and bishops, lawyers,
Judges, statesmen, millionaires, journal
lists, college professors and officials from
all parts of the land.
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter re-
marked: Doctor, that letter OF yours mas
created good deal of talk, and many of
cur readers have questioned Its auth hen-
ticity."
{" TO what do you refer:" remarked the
doctor.
Have you not seen the paper?"
ayes, but 1 have not had time to read 1t
yet"
The reporter thereupon showed him the
letter, which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM Co.,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, NY, Oct. II, 1888. !

Cure, and l regard it as the best remedy
for some forms of kidney disease that we

cases am now treating with it, and lhope
for favorable results.

about your sterling remedy and show you
over our institution. ~

81 do not see why anybody should he
skeptical concerning that letter" remarked
the doctor.
'.1sn't it unusual for ply ysician of your
standing and influence to commend pro-
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 valu-
able. Because | know W arner's Safe Cure
is a very valuable preparation, "innend
it. AS its power is manifested under my
use, SO shall l add to the completeness OF
my commendation."
"Have YOU ever analyZed it, doctorT
1--WE always analyze Lefore we try any
preparation of which we do not know the
constituents. But analysis, you know, only
gives the elements; it does rot give the all
Important proportions. The remarkable
power of Warmers 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 to-
gether in proper proportions, they are
~ hope some day to meet Mr.. Warner
personally, and extend fuller Congratula
tions to him on the excellence of his pre-
parations. l have heard much of him as
the founder of the Warner Observa, ory,
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 remedy upon the mar
ket that was not trustworthy; and it was
source of a good deal of gratifca: ion to
me to find out by actual experiment that
the remedy itself sustained my impress
sion."
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster is
precisely the same found by DR.. Dio Lewis,
DR.. Robert A. Gum, ex-Sur geOn-G 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 so many men, women
and children from disease and death.
