CAUSED BY ONE OF Ills
LETTERS.
Colchester Democrat and Chroniclc.)
We published in our local columns yes
terday morning a significant letter from q
gentleman known personally or by reputa-
ton To almost every person In the land.
We have received number OF letters pro-
testing against the use OF our columns for
such ''paipabe frauds and misrepresenta-
tions;1 therefore, 10 confirm beyond
doubt the authenticity OF the letter, and
the genuineness of its sentiments, re-
porter OF this paper was commissioned TO
ascertain all The possible facts in the mat
ter. Accordingly he visited Clifton
Springs, saw the author OF the letter, and
with the following result.
DR. Henry Foster, the gentleman In
question, Is 63 or "a years OF age and has
III extremely cordial manner. He presides
As superintendent over the celebrated
ssntarium which accommodates over 800
guests and is uiptuestionab!y the leading
health resort of tire country. Seyersl
years ago this man wisely determiued . TO
be his own executor; and, therefore turned
over this magnificent property worth
$500, 900, as a free gift 70 board Of trus-
tees, representing the principal eyangeli-
cal denominations. Among the trustees
are Bishop A. &. Coke, Protestant Episco-
pal, Buffalo; Bishop Mathew Simpson,
Methodist Episcopal; President NJ. Is.
Anderson, OF the University OF Rochester;
Rev. DR.. Clark, Secretary OF the A. B. G.
r. NJ Boston. The benevolent purpose
of the institution is the care: lst-Of
evangelical missionaries and their families
whose health has been broken in their
work. snd.--of ministers, Of any denoIn-
nation, in good standing. 3rd.-of metn-
bers of any church; who otherwise would
be unable 10 secure such care and treat
meut. The current expenses OF the instl-
tuition are met by the receipt from the
hundreds or distinguished and wealthy
people who every year crowd its utmost
capacity. Here come men and women
who were once In perfect health, but neg
lected the flrst symptoms OF disease. The
uncertain pains they felt at first were over
looked until their health became impaired.
They little realized the danger before them,
nor how alarming even trihiDg ailments
might prove. They constitute all classes,
idcludiIg ministers and bishops, lawyers,
Judges, statesmen, millionaires, journal
lists, college professors aud officials from
all parts OF the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicie from his pocket, the reporter
remarked, doctor, that letter of yours
has created u good deal OF talk, and many
of our readers have questioned its authen-
ITCHY"
ITO what do you referl7 remarked the
doctor.
Have you not seen the paper?'
"Yes, hut have not had time 70 read 1t
yet" The reporter thereupon showed
him the letter, which was as follows
CLu-ros SPRINGS sAsIrARIUM COT
CLIFTON SPRINGS, y. Y. Oct ~, less
DEAR SIR: am using warmers safe Cure,
nnd regard IL a. the best remedy for some
forms ufkiiney disease that we have. am
watching with great care some cases am now
treating with 1t. and 1 hope TOR favorable re-
suits.
Iwish you might come down yourself as 1
would like very much TO talk With you about
your sterling remedy and show you over our

81 do not see why anybody should be
skeptica concerning that letter." remark
eli the doctor.
Isn't il unusual for physician or your
standing and influence 10 commend a pro-
prietary preparations"
IL don't know how IL may be with 9th
ers, but in this institution We allow no
person 10 dictate 10 US what We shall use.
our purpose Is To cure the sick, aud for
that work we use anything we know TO be
valuable. Because | know Warmers Safe
Cure is very valuable preparation,
commend 1t. As its power Is manifested
under my use, so shall | add 10 the com
pleteness OF my commendation."
Have you ever analyZed il, doctor?"
ave always analyZe before We try any
preparation of which we do not know the
constituents. But analysis, you know,
only gives the elements IL does not give
the all Important proportions. The re-
markable power OF Warmers Safe Cure
undoubtedly consists in the proportions
according TO which It's elements are mix
ed" While there may be a thousand reme-
dies made of the same elements, unless they
are put together in proper proportions,
they are worthless as kidney and liver
preparations.
II hope some day TO meet Mr.. Warner
personally, and extend fuller congratula-
tions To him on the excellence OF his pre-
parations. have heard much Of him as
the founder Of the Warner Observatory,
and as man of large benevolence. The
reputed high character Of the man himself
gave assurance to me in the first place that
he would not put remedy upon the mar
ket that was not trustworthy; and 1t was
source of good deal of qualification to
me TO find out by actual experiment that
the remedy itself Sustained my impress
sions."
The conclusion reached Sy DR.. Foster is
precisely the same found by DR.. Dio Lew
is, DIR. Robert A. Gum, Ex Surgeon Gen.
eral Gallagher and others, and proves be-
yond doubt the great efficacy OF the rem
edy which has awakened so much atten-
tion in the land and rescued so many men,
women and children from disease and
death.
