II am we'll aware of the censure that
will be Heted out to me for writing this
letter but feel that cannot be true to
my honest convictions unless / extend d
hel ping hand and endorse all that I
know to be good. The extended publ
cations for the past few years, and graph
ic descriptions ofdif; rent diseases ofthe
kidneys anu liver have awakened the
medical profession to the fact that these
diseases are greatly increasing. The
treatment OF the doctors has been large
ly experimental and many OF their ba.
tients have died while they were casting
about for a remedy to cure them"
1t is now over two years since my at
tention was first calico to the use of most
wonderful preparation in the treatment
| of Briyht's disease of the kidneys. Pa
tients had frequently asked me about the
| remedy and had heard of remarkable
cures etfec ed by it, but like many 9TH
| ers l hesitated to recommend its use. A
personal friend of mine had been
in poor health for some time
and his application for insur-
ance on his life had been rejected on
account of Briyht's disease. Chemicals
| anu 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 preparation and was greatly sur.
pr:sed to observe decided improves
ment within month, and within four
mon his no tube casts could be discovered.
at that time there was pres, mt only a
trace OF albumen. and he felt, as he ex.
pressed it., perfectly vel, and all
through the influence of Warmers Safe
Cure, the remedy he used"
IN full doses in both acute and chrome
nephritis, (Bright's diseased and with
the most satisfactory results. Nv OBJ.
servations were neither small in number
nor hastily made. They extended over
| several months and embraced a large
number of cases which have proved so
satisfactory to my mind that would
| earnestly urge opon my professional
| brethren the Importance of giving q fair
and patient trial to Warmers Safe Cure.
| In large class of ailtuen.s wn~re Tue
blood is obviously in an unhealthy state,
| especially where glandular engagements
and inflammatory erupti"ns exist, indeed
| Ill many of thuse forms of chronic indis.
position in which there is no evidence
| 1t organic mischief but where the gen.
tral health is depleted, the face sallow,
| the urine colored, constituting the con-
dition in which the patient is said to be
bilious, the advantage gained by the
use OF this remedy is remarkable. In
Brights disease it seems TO act as solv.
ent of al bumen, to soothe and heal the
int1ained membranes; to wash out the
tuhuli uriniferi. and to prevent destruc-
tive meta,norpbosis of tissue"
| Belonging as do to branch of the
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
without reference to the source from
whe' c, comes, am glad to acknowl.
edge and commend the merits of this
remedy thus frankly.
