MS OWN EXECUTOR.
A Well known GenGIeman's Philan-
throphy and the Commotion
caused by One of His Letters.


Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
We published in our local columns yes
terday morning significant letter from
q gentleman known personally or by
reputation to every person in the land
We have received q number of letters
protesting against the use ofour columns
for such "palpablc frauds and misrepre-
sensations" therefore to confirm beyond
a doubt the authenticity of the letter,
and the genuineness of its sentiments, a
reporter of this paper was commissioned
to ascertain all the possible facts in the
matter. Accordin2ly he visited Clifton
Springs, saw the author ofthe letter, anc
with tue following result.
DR.. Henry Fostel, the gentleman iL
question, is 63 or 81 years of age and has
an extremely cordial manner. He pre-
sides as superintendent over the ccle-
brated sanitarium which accommodates
over 500 guests and is unQuestionably the
leading health resort of the country.
Several years ago this benevolent man
wisely determined 10 be his own execu-
tor; and, therefore turned over this mag
nifcant property worth 500 900. as free
gift to board of trustees. representing
the principal evangelical denominations,
Among the trustees are Bishop A. G.
Coke, Protestant Episcopal. Buffalo;
Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philadelphia,
Methodist Episcopal; President M. B.
Anderson ofthe University OF Rochester;
Rev DR.. Clark, Secretary of the A. B. @.
T. NJ, Boston. The benevolent purpose
of the institution is the care; lst.-of
evangelical missionaries and their fami-
lies whose health has been broken in their
work. 2nd.-of ministers, OF any de-
nomination, in good standing. 3rd.-of
members of any church; who otherwise
would be unable to secure such care and
treatment. The current expenses of the
institution are met by the receipt from
the hundreds of distlngu shed 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 uncertain pains they cit
at first were overlooked until their health
became imp ired. They little realized
the danger before them, nor how alarm
ing even trifling ailments might prove.
They constitute all classes, including
ministers and bishops, lawyers, judges
statesmen, millionaires, journalists, col
lege professors and officials from all parts
OF the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
remarked, doctor, that letter of yours
has created good deal of talk, and many
of our readers have questioned its au-
thenticity."
10 what do you refer?" remarked the
doctor.
"Have you not seen the paper?"
eyes, but | have not had time to read
it yet"
The reporter thereupon showed him
the letter, which was as follows;
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM, Co. /
CLIFTON SPRINGS, N. Y, Oct. IL, 1888 !
Dear Sir: am using Warmers Safe
Cure, and | 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 might come down yourself,
as would like very much to talk with you
about your sterling remedy and show
You over our institution. Yours truly.
[Signedl HENRY FOSTER. NJ. D.
II do not see why any body should be
sceptical concerning that letter." re-
marked the doctor.
"Isn't it unusual for a physician of
your standing and influence to commend
proprietary preparation
II don't know how it may be with
others, but in this institution we allow
no person to dictate to MS what we shall
use. Our purpose is to cure the sick, and
for that work we use anything we know
to be valuable. Because | know War
ner's Sale Cure is very valuable prep
aration, I commend it. As its power is
manifested under my use, so shall | add
to the completeness of my commenda-
ton"
"Haye You ever analysed it, doctor?" >
eve always analyze before we try
any preparation of which we do not
know the constituents. But ANALYSIS
you know, only gi yes the elements; it,
does not give the all important proper
tions. The remarkable power of War
ners Safe Cure undoubtedly consists in
the proportions according t. which its
elements are mixed While there may
be a thousand remedies made of the
same elements, unless they are put to-
gether in proper proportions, they are
worthless as kidney and liver prepare
tons.
II hope some day to meet Mr.. War
ner personally, and extend fuller con-
CALCULATIONS to him on the excellence of
his preparations. | have heard much of
him as the founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory, and as man OF large benev-
olence The reputed high character of
the man himself gave assurance TO me IN
the first place that be would not put
remedy upon the market that was not
trustworthy; and it was a source Of
good deal of gratificationto me to find out
by actua! experiment that the remedy
itself sustained my impressions"
The conclusion reached by DIR. Foster
is precisely the same found by DR.. Dio
Lewis, DR.. X ebert A. Gum, Elk Surgeon
General Gallagher and others, and
proves beyond doubt the great efficacy
of the remedy which has awakened SO
much attention in the land and rescued
SO many men, women and children from
d isease and death.
