ffsochester Democrat and Chronicte.l
We published in our local columns yes
terday morning a significant letter from
gentleman known personally or by reputa-
tion to nearly every person in the land.
We have received a number of letters pro-
testing against the use of our columns for
such ''paipable frauds and misrepresenta-
tions;o therefore, TO confirm beyond a
doubt the authenticity Of the letter, and
the genuineness of its sentiments, areport-
err of this paper was commissioned to as
certain all the possible facts in the matter.
Accordingly he visited Clifton Springs,
saw the author of the letter, and with the
following result:
DIR. Henry Foster, the gentleman in ques-
ton, is 63 or Ga years of age and has an ex.
tremely cosdial manner. He presldes as
superintendent over the celebrated SAINT
tarium which accommodates over 800
guests and is unqucstionably the leading
health resort of the country. Several
years ago this benevolent man wisely de-
ter1nined to he his own executor, and,
therefore turned over this magnificent
property worth 100000 as free gift to
board Of trustees, representing the princi-
nal evangelical denominations. Among
the trustees are Bishop A. c. Coke, Prot
estant Episcopal, Buffalo; Bishop Mathew
Simpson, Philadelphia, Mahodist EpisCO-
pal; President NJ. Il. Anderson, of the Uni
yersity of ROchesterI Rev. DR.. Clark, Secre-
tarv the A.B.C.F. NJ. Boston. The benevS-
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 standing; 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 by the receipts from the
hundreds of distinguished 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 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 TT 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.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter re-
marked: doctor, that letter of yours has
created good deal of talk, and many of
our readers have questioned its anthem
ITCHY"
doctor.
Have you not seen the paper"
ayes, but | have not had time to read it
yet"
The reporter thereupon showed him the
letter, which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANrTARIUM Co.,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, NY, Oct. II, 1888.
DEAR SIR: | am using Warmers Safe
Cure, and l 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 IN; ght come down yourself, as
7 u ~, to toll
about your sterling remedy and show you
over our institution. ia
Yours truly,
TSigned1 HENRY FOSTER, NJ. d.
81 do not see why anybody should be
skeptical concerning thatletter," remarked
the doctor.
isn't it unusual for physi of YOU
standing and influence to commend pro-
prictary preparation"
II 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 Warmers Safe Cure
is a very valuable preparation, commend
| it. As its power is manifested under my
use, so shall add to the completeness o.
my commentator"
"Have you ever analysed it, aoctorW
ave always analyze before we try any
/ preparation OF winch we 90 llOU KNOW tut
constituents. But analysis, you know, only
gives the elements; it does not give the al
! important proportions. The remarkable
| power of Warmers Safe Cure undoubtedly
! consists in the proportions according tC
! which its 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
| worthless as kidney and liver preparations
81 hope some day to meet Mr.. Warner
personally, and extend fuller congratula
tons to him on the excellence of his pre-
parations. / have heard much Of him as
the founder of the Warner Observa' ory
and as man of large benevolence. Tho
reputed high character of the man himsel
gave assurance to me in the first place thai
lie would not put remedy upon the mar
ket that was not trustworthy; and it wal
source of a good deal of qualification t
me to find out by actual experiment tina
the remedy itself sustained my impress
sion"
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster il
precisely the same found by DR.. DiO Lewis
DIR. Robert A. Gum, ex-Surgeon-Ge
Gallagher and others, and proves beyOnC
doubt, the great efficacy of the remedy
which has awakened so much attention Il
the land and rescued somany men, womeI
! and children from disease and death.
