Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Ne published in our local columns YES.
terday morning significant letter from
gentleman known personally or by
reputation to every person in the land .
We have received number of letters
protesting against the use ofour columns
for such "palpable frauds and Misrepre-
sentations::" therefore to confirm beyond
doubt the authenticity of the letter,
and the genuineness of ite sentiments, a
reporter of this paper was commissioned
to ascertain all the possible facts in the
| matter. Accordingly he visited Clifton
Springs, saw the author of the letter, and
with the following result: .
DR.. Henry Foster, the gentleman in
/ question, is IS or 81 years of age and has
| an extremely cordial manner. He pre-
sides as superintendent over the csle-
brated sanitarium which accommodates
over 500 guests and is unQuestionably the
leading health resort of the couutry.
Several years ago this benevolent man
wisely determined to be his own execu-
tor; and, therefore turned over this mag.
niticant property worth $3)O, 600. as a free
gift to q board of trustees. representing
the principal evangelical denominations
Among the trustees are Bishop A. c.
Coke. Protestant Episcopal. Buffalo:
Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philadelphia,
Methodist Episcopal; President NJ. B.
Anderson ofthe University OF Rochester;
Rev Or. Clark, Secretary of the A. B. C.
F: NJ, Boston. The benevolent purpose
of the institution is the care; 1st.-of
evangelical! missionaries and their fami-
lies whose health has been broken in their
work. 2nd.-of ministers, OF anv 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 we're once in perfect
health, but neglected the first symp toms
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
Chronicle from his pocket, the re porter
remarked, "Doctor, that letter of yours
has created a good deal of talk, and many
of our readers have questioned its au-
thenticity."
80 what do you referp' 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 SANIrAR1UM, Co. !
CLIFTON SPRINGS, N. Y, Oct. IL, 1883.
Dear Sir: am using Warmers Safe
Cure, and I regard it as the best remedy
for some forms Of kidney disease that
We have. l am watching with great care
some cases l am now treating with it,
and hope for favorable results.
l 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.
[Signed] HENRY FOSTER, NJ. D.
II do not see why anybody should be
sceptical concerning that letter." re-
marked the doctor.
''Isn't it unusual for physician of
your standing and influence to commend
a proprietary preparations"
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
ner's Safe Cure is very valuable prep
c~ction, I commend it. As it's power Is
manifested under my use, so shall | add
to the completeness Of my commenda-
ton"
''Haye you ever analysed it, doctor?"
"We 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
ions. The remarkable power Of War
ner's Safe Cure undoubtedly consists in
tho proportions according t. which its
elements are mixed" While there may
be q thousand remedies made of the
same elements, unless they are put to-
gether in proper proportions, they are
worthless as kinney ana liver prepara-
tons.
II hope some day to meet Mr.. War
ner personally, and extend fuller con-
gratulations to him on the excellence of
his preparations. I 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 wOl1ld not nut q
remedy upon the market that was not
trustworthy; and it was source of
good deal ofgratiticationto ME to find out
by actual experiment that the remedy
itself sustained my Impressions"
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster
is precisely the same found by DR.. Dio
Lewis, DR.: Robert 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
