Upon a Subject of Vital Interest, Effect
ing the Welfare of All.
The following remarkable letter from
one of the leading and best known scien-
the writers OF the present day is specially
significant. and should be Of unusual
value to all readers who desire 10 keep
pace with the march of modern discOy-
cries and events:
"a general demand for reformation is
one of the most distinctive characteristics
of the nineteenth century. The common
people. as we'll as the more enlightened
and refined. CRY out with no uncertain
voice to.be emancipated from the slavery
of conservatism and superstition winch
has held the masses IN gross ignorance
during large portion OF the WOrld's MS
tory, and in the time OF the DARK ages
came near obliterating the last gllmmer OF
truth. DOgmatic assertions and blind
empiricism are losing caste among
all classes of all countries Peo-
pie are beginning to think FOR
themselves. and to regard authority 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 opinions. They claim the
right to solve for themselves the great
questions of the day and demand that the
general good of humanity shall be re-
spected. As the result of this general
awakening. we see, on every hand. unmls-
taxable evidences of refOrmatOry action.
People who, a few years ago, endured
suffering the most intense in the name OF
duty. now realize the utter foolishness OF
such a course. Men who were under the
bondage of bigoted advisers allowed their
health to depart: suffered their cOnstitu-
tions to become undermined and, finally,
died as MARTYRS to false system of
treatment. There are millions Of people
filling untimely 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
symptoms of some serious malady and
without the slightest realization Of the
danger that is before them. They have
occasional headaches; lack Of appetite
one day and a raYenOus one the next, or
an unaccOuntable feeling of WEAKNESS,
sometimes accompanied by nausea, and
attribute all these troubles to the old idea
Of slight cold, or malaria. 1t is high time
that people awoke to know
ledge of the seriousness Of
these matters and enamel
bigotry which controls them. When this
is done and when all classes Of physicians
become liberal enough to exclude all dog
mas, save that it is their duty to cure dis
ease as quickly. and as safely as possible;
to maintain no other position than that OF
truth honestly ascertained, and to indorse
and recommend 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 re-
jOicing throughout the world"
= ! 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 l extend
helping hand and indorse all that | know
to be good. The extended publications for
the past few years, and graphic descrip-
tons Of different diseases of the kidneys
and liver have awakened the medical pro-
fession 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 RENE
dy to cure them"
ut is now oyer two years since my at
tentiOn was first called to the use of a
most wonderful preparation in the treat
ment Of BrighUs disease of the kidneys.
Patients had frequently asked ME about
the remedy and l had heard of remark
able cures effected by it, but like many
others / hesitated to recommend its use.
A personal friend of mine had been in
poor health for some time and his applica-
ton for insurance on his life had been re-
jected on account of Bright's disease.
Chemical and micrOscopical examinations
of his urine revealed the presence of large
quantities Of albumen and granular tube
casts which confirmed the correctness Of
the diagnosis. After trying all the usual
remedies, / directed him to use this pre-
paratiOn and was greatly surprised to
observe a decided improvement within
month, and within four months, no tube
casts could be discovered. At that time
there was present only a trace of albu-
men, and he felt, as he expressed it, per
fectly WE'LL and all through the influence
Of Warmers Safe Cure. the remedy he
used.'
CATER this l prescribed this medicine
in full doses in both acute and chronic
nephritis Bright's disease and with the
most satisfactory results. My Observa-
lions were neither small in number nor
hastily made. They extended over sew
eral months and embraced large num-
Der of cases which have proved so salts
factory to my mind, that / would ear
nestly urge upon my professional breth-
rem 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, especial
| ly where glandular engagements and in
flammatOry eTuptiOns exist, indeed in
uldlN Vi tuOSt lDIiHS Vi CuIOllC SDOcl-
ton in which there is no evidence of or
ganic mischief, but where the general
health is depleted, the face sallOw the
urine colOred, constituting the condition
in which the patient is said to be bilious
the advantage gained by the use of this
remedy is remarkable. In Brights dis
ease it seems to act as a solvent Of albu-
men; to sOoth and heal the Infiamed men,
branes; to wash out the epithelial debris
which blocks up the tubutj urtniteri, and
to prevent destructive metamOrphosis of
tissue"
''BelOnging as l do to a branch of the
profession that believes that no one school
Of medicine knows all the truth regarding
the treatment of disease. and being indie
pendent enough to select any remedy that
will relieve my patients, without refer
ence to the source from whence it comes,
/ am glad to acknowledge and commend
the merits of this remedy thus frankly.
