A Well known Gentleman's Philan.
throphy and the Commotion
caused by One Of His Letters.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
We published in our local columns yes
serday morning a significant letter from
a gentleman known personally or by
reputation to every person in the land.
We have received a number of letters
protesting against the use of four columns
for such "%paipable frauds and misrepre-
sentations;" therefore to confirm beyond
a doubt the authenticity of the letter,
and the g~enuineness of its 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 ofthe letter, and
with the following result.
DR.. Henry Foster, the gentleman in
question, is 63 or 81 years of age and has

over 500 guests andi is unquestionably the
Several years ago this benevolent man
wisely determined to be his own execu-
tor; and, therefore turned over this a
niticant property worth $500, 900. as a free
gift to a 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 NJ. B.
Anderson ofthe University of Rochester;
Rev. DR.. Clark, Secretary of the A. b. G..
f. NJ, Boston. The benevolent purpose
of the institution is the care; 1st.-of
evangelical missionaries and their fami-
lies whose healthh has been broken intheir
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 me- by the receipt from
the hundreds of distinguished and
wealthy people who every year crowd
its utmost capacity. Here come men
II women who were once in perfect
health, but neglected the first symptoms
of disease. The uncertain pains they ielt
nj first were overlooked until their health
became imp .ired. They little realized
the danger before them, nor how alarm
ing even trifing ailments might Grove.
They constitute all classes, including
ministers and bishops, lawyers, judges
statesmen, millionaires, journalists, COL
lege professorsand officials from all parts
OF the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chrorirle from his pocket, the reporter
remarked, "Doctor, that letter of u
has created agood deal oftalk, and many
of our readers have questioned its au-
thenticity."

doctor.

eyes, but l have not had time to read
it yet"
The reporter %tlereupon showed him
the letter. which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS S~ANITARIUM, Co..
| CLIFTON SPRINGS. N. Y, Oct. IL, 1883.
Deay Sir: | am using Warmers Safe
Cure, and I regard it as the best remedy
for some forms of kidney disease that
We have. 1 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 l would like very much to talk with you
about your sterling remedy and show
you over our institution. Yours truly.

"I do not see why anybody should be
marked the doctor.
"Isn't it unusual for a physician of
your standing and influence to commend
a proprietary preparations"
III 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, aud
for that work we use anything we Know
to be valuable. Because l know War
ner's Safe Cure is a very valuable prep
a%ration, I commend it. AS its power is
manifested under my use, so shall 1 add
to the completeness of my commenda-
ton"
"Haye you ever analysed it, doctor?"
1--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 no give the all important proper
tions. The remarkable power Of War
ner's 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
tons.
81 hope some day to meet Mr.. War
ner personally, and extend fuller con-
gratulations to him on the excellence of
his preparations. l have heard much of
him as the founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory, and as a nan of large benev-
olence. The reputed high character of
the .nan himself gave assurance to me in
the first place tha>he would not put a
remedy upon the market that was not
trustworthy; and it was a source of a
good deal ofgratiicationto 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.. Die
Lewis, DR.. Robert A. Gum, Elk Surgeon-
| General Gallagher and others, and
proves beyond a 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
