clally significant, and should be OF I'M
usual value to all readers who desire to
keep pace with the march Of modern
discoveries and events:
: 4 general demand for reformation is
one OF the most distinctive Characters
tics Of the nineteenth century. The
common people. as well as the more en-
lightened and refined, cry out with no
uncertain voice to be emacipanted from
the slavery of conservatism and super
stition 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 ObHterat-
ing the last glimmer of truth Dog
matte assertions and blind empiriCiSm
are losing caste among all classes of all
countries. People are beginning to
think for themselves. and to regard au-
thOrIty much less than argument. Men
and women are no longer willing that a
few individuals should dictate to them
what must be their sentiments and Opin-
ions. They claim the right to solve for
themselves the great questions of the
day and demand that the general good
Of humanity shall be respected. AS the
result of this general awakening we see.
on every hand, unmistakable evidences Of
refOrmatory action. People who, a few
years ago, endured suffering the most in
tense in the name of duty, now realize
the utter fOOliShnesS of such a course.
Men who were under the bondage of
higoted advisers allowed their health to
depart; suffered their constitutions to
become undermined and finally died as
martyrs to q false system OF treatment.
There are millions of people filling I'M
timely graves who might have lived to a
green old age had their original troubles
been taken in time or properly treated
There are thousands of people to-day
thOughtlessly enduring the first symp-
toms Of some serious malady, and with
out the slightest realization Of the dan
ger that is before them. They have Oc-
caSiOnal headaches; q lack of appetite
enc day and a ravenOus one the next, or
an unaccOuntable feeling of wearinesS
sometimes accompanied by nausea and
attribute all these troubles to the old idea
Of a slight cold OF malaria. 1t is high
time that people awOke to a knowledge
Of the seriousness of these matters and
emancipated themselves from the pro-
fessiOnal bigOtry which controls them.
When this is done and when all classes
Of physicians become liberal enough to
exclude all dOgmas, save that it is their
duty to cure disease as quickly and as
safely as possible; to maintain no other
position than that of truth honestly as
certained, and to endorse and recon-
mend any remedy that has been found
useful, no matter what its origin, there
will be no more quarreling among the
doctors, while there will be great rejoic-
ing throughout the world"
. I am well aware of the censure that
will be melted out to me for writing this
letter, but feel that [ cannot be true to
my honest convictions unless [ extend a
helping hand and endorse all that know
to be good. The extended publications
for the past few years, and graphic de
scriptiOns of different diseases of the
kidneys and liver, have awakened the
medical profession 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 a remedy to cure them"
1t is now over two years since my
attention was first called to the use of a
most wonderful preparation in the treat
ment Of Bright's disease of the kidneys.
Patients had frequently asked me about
the remedy and I had heard of remarka-
bic cures effected by it, but like many
others [ heSitated to recommend its use.
a personal friend of mine had been III
poor health for some time and his appli-
cation for insurance on his life had been
rejected on account of Bright's disease.
Chemical and rlicrOscopical eXamina-
tiOns of his urine revealed the presence
Of large quantities of albumen and granu-
lar tube casts, which cOnfr med the cor
rectness of the diagnosis. After trying

use this preparation and was greatly
surprised TO observe a decided improve
ment within a month, and within four
months no tube casts could be diScOv-
cred. At that time there was present
only a trace Of albumen, and he felt, as
he expressed it, perfectly well, and ali
through the influence of Warmers Safe
Cure, the remedy he used"
:, After this prescribed this medicine in
full doses in both acute and chronic
nephritis Brights disease and with the
most satisfactory results. Ny ObServa-
: onS were neither small in number nor
n Silly made. They extended over
wen months, and embraced large
number of cases which have proved so
satisfactory to my mind that | would
earnestly urge upon my professional
brethren the Importance of giving a fair
and patient trial to Warmers Safe Cure.
In large class of ailments where the
blood is obviously in an unhealthy state.
especially where glandular engagements
and mfiammatory eruptions exist; in
deed IN many of those forms of chronic
indisposition in which there is no evi-
dence 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 t.
be bilious the advantage gained by the
use Of this remedy is remarkable. In
Bright's disease it seems to act as a sol
vent of albumen; to sOOthe and hea'

profession that believes that no one
school of medicine knows all the truth
regarding the treatment of disease, and
being independent enough to select any
remedy that will relieve my patients.
