The following remarkable letter from one
OF the ieadings and bestS known scientific
writer's OF tho present day is specially signih-
cant, and should be OF unusual value to kau
march OF modern discoveries and events: =, :.
"ABeneSul demand for reformation fs one
OF the most distinctive characteristics Of tho
ninetoehth century. The common people, as!
welllas the moro enlightened and refined, cry
out with no uncertain voice to be emancipa-
ted frI Im< che sayerN of conservatism and su-
parstit'on Which has held tho masses In gross
Ignorance, during large portion Of the
worlds history, and in the time OF the Dark
mer OF truth, Dogmatic assertions and
blind empiricism are losing caste, amoiiS
all classes of ell countries. 80 People
are beginning to think for them
selves, and to regard authority much less
longer willing that a few individuals should
dictate to them what must be their senti-
ments and opinions. They claim the right to
solve for themselves the great questions OF
the day, and demand that tho general good
suit Of this general awakening we see, on
every hand unnistakable evidences of refor.
matory action. People who, q few" years
ago, endured suffering tho most intense In
ishneGs Of such a course. Men who were
nnder the bondage Of bigoted advisers allowed
their health to depart; suffered their
constitutions to become undermined
and finally died asmartyrs to false system
of treatment There are millions Of people
filling untimely graves who might have lived
to green old age had their original troubles
been taken In tilno OF properly treated. There
are thousands OF people to-day thought!eSsly
enduring the first symptoms Of some serioms
malady and without tho slightest realization
of the danger that Is before them, They
have occasional headaches; a lack Of appetite
one day and rayenous one the next, or
an unaccountable feeling Of wearincss,
attribute all these troubles to the old
idea Of slight cold or malaria. It Is HIGH
time that poople awoke to a KNOWLEDGE of tho
seriousness of these matters and emancipatod
which controls them. when this is done and
when all classes Of physicians become liberal
enough to exclude oil dogmas, save that IL is
their duty to euro disease as quickly, and as
safely as possible; to maintain no other posi-
tion than that of truth honestly asccr aimed,
and to indOrSe and recommend any remedy
that has been found useful, no mnitor what
its origin, there will lie no moro quarrelinr
among the doctors, while there will be great
rejoicing throughout tho world"
81 am well aware of the censure that will
be metcd out to me for writing this letter.
but feel that cannot be true TO nv honest
convictions unless l extend helping hand
and indorso all that know TO be good. The
and graphic descriptions of different diseases
Of the kidneys and liver have awakened the
medical profession to the fact that these dis
eases are greatly increasing. The treatment
of tho doctors has been largely experimental,
and many of their patients have died while
they were casting about for remedy to cure
them."
cit is now over two years since my atten-
tion was first callet to the use Of n most won
derful preparation in the treatment of
Brights disease OF the Kidneys. Patients had
frequently asked mo about the remedy, and
l had hoard Of remarkable cures effected by
1t, but like many others ] hcsitated to recon-
mend its use. A personal friend Of mine hnd
been in poor health for sotne time, and his
application for insurance on his life had
been rejected on account of Brieht's
disease. Chemical and microscopical OK
ANIMATION OF his urine revealed tho
presence OF large quantities of albumcn and
granular tube cas,s which confirmed tho
correctness of the diagnosis. After trying
az the usual remedies, [ directed him to uso
thls preparation and was greatly surprised
10 onservo decided Improvement within
month, and within four months no tube
casts could he discovered. At that time there
was present only trace of albumen and he
ret, as he expressed it, 'perfcctly we'll and
al through tho influence of Warmers Safe
Cure, the remedy he used"
After this prescribed this medicine in
iull doses IN both a"utc and chronic neDhri-
us, (Brights di.ease) and with The mos. salts
laHtory results. My observations were neither
snail IN number nor h2Stily made. TEey cx-
tended over several months and embraced
large number of Cases' which have proved SO
satisfactory to my mind, that would ear
ncStiy urge upon my professional brethren
the Importance of giving c fair and patient
Trial to Warmers Safe Cure In a large class
or ailments where the blood is obviously in
an unhealthy state, especially where gIuiilu-
lar ongorScmentS and infamma! OIy
eruptlons exist, indeed in many of tho,e

Is remarkable. In liright's disease it seems
