Upon IN subject OF vital I'm terest,
Effecfing the Welfare OF All.
The following remarkable letter
from one of the leading and best
known scientific writers of the
present day is specially significant,
and should be of unusual value to
all readers who desire to keep peace
with the march of modern discov-
cries and events:
ga general demand for reforma-
ton is one of the most distinctive
characteristics of the nineteenth
century. The common people, as
well as the more enlightened and
refined, cry out with uncertain voice
to be emancipated from the slavery
OF conservatism and superstition
which has held the masses in gross
ignorance during a large portion of
the worlds history, and in the time
of the ozark Ages" came near OBJ
literating the last glimmer of truth.
DOgmatic assertions and blind en-
piricism are losing caste among all
classes of all countries. People are
beginning to think for themselves.
and to regard authority much less
than argument. Men. and women
are no longer willing that a few in
dividuals should dictate to them
what must be their sentiments and
opinions. They claim the right to
solve for themselves the great ques-
lions of the day and demand that
the general good of humanity shall
be respected. AS the result of this
general awakening, we see, on eV-
cry hand, unmistakable evidences
of reformatOry action. People who,
a few years ago, endured suffering
the most intense in the name of du-
ty, now realize the utter foolishness
of such course. Men who were
under the bondage of bigOted adj
visers allowed their health to de-
part; suffered their constitutions to
become undermined and finally
died as martyrs to II 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 ta-
ken 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
ravenOus one the next, or an unac-
countable feeling of WEAKNESS,

the old idea of ga slight cold" or
malaria. 1t is high time that peo-
pie awoke to a knowledge of the
seriousness of these matters and
emancipated themselves from the
professional bigOtry which controls
them. When this is done and
when all classes of physicians be-
come liberal enough to exclude all
dogmas, save that it is their duty to
cure disease as quickly, and as safe
ly as possible; to maintain no 9TH
er position than that of truth hon.
estly ascertained, and to endorse
and recommend any remedy that
has beed found useful, no matter
what its origin, there will be no
more quarreling among the doc
tors, while there will be great re-
joicing throughout the world"
81 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 con-
victiOns unless L extend a helping
hand and endorse all that / know
to be good. The extended publica-
ton for the past few years, and
graphic descriptions of different
diseases of the kidneys and liver
have awakened the medical pro-
fessiOn to the fact that these dIsea-
ses 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"
SIT is now over two years since
my attention was first called to the
use of a most wonderful preparation
in the treatment of Bright'S dis
ease of the kidneys. Patients had
frequently asked me about the rem
edy and 1 had heard of remarkable
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 application for insur-
ance on his life had been rejected
on account of Bright's disease.
Chemical and microscOpical exam
nations of his urine revealed the
presence of large quantities of albu-
men and granular tube casts, which
confirmed the correctness of the di-
agonis. After trying all the usual
remidies, [ directed him to use this
preparation and was greatly sur
prised to observed decided improve
ment 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,
"perfeciIy WE'LL" and all through
the influence of Warmers Safe Cure,
the remedy he used"
"After this / prescribed this med
icine in full doses in both acute and
chronic nephritis, CBright's diseased
and with the most satisfactory re-
suits. My observations were nei-
Their small in number nor hastily
made. They extended over sever
al months and embraced a large
number of cases which have proved
so satisfactory to my mind, that /
would earnestly urge upon my pro-
fessiOnal brethren the importance
of giving fair and patient triafto
Warmers Safe Cure. In a large
class of ailments where the blood
Is obviously in an unhealthy state,
where glandular engorge-
ments and intlammatory etuptions
exist, indeed in many of those
forms of chronic indisposition in
which there is no evidence of or
ganic mischief, but where the gen.
eral health is depleted, the face
the urine colored, constitu-
ting the condition in which the pa
tient is said to be "billious," the adj
vantage gained by the use of this
remedy is remarkable. In Bright's
disease it seems to act as a solvent
of albumen to tooth and heal the
infiamed membranes to wash out
the epithelial debris which blocks
up the tl6atii atriniferi, and to pre-
vent destructive metamorphOsis
of tissue"
Belonging as / do to branch
of the profession that believes that
no one school of medicine knows
all the truth regarding the treat
ment of disease, and being indie
pendent enough to select any rem
