HIS OWN EXECUTOR.
A Weil.known Geutleman's Phiian-
thropy and the CommOtiOn
Caused by One Of His
Letters.
fRocnester Democrat ana cl.ronfcle.)


We published IN our local columns yes
terday morning significant letter from
gentleman known personally or by reputa-
tion to nearly every person in the land.
We have received number OF letters pro-
testing against the use Of our columns for
such ''palpable frauds and misrepresenta-
tions;" therefore, TO confirm beyond
doubt the authenticity of the letter, and the
genuineness of its sentiments, reporter OF
tins paper was commissioned TO ascertain
ali the possible facts IN the matter. Accord
Inglv be visited Clifton Springs, saw the
author of the letter, and with the follow
ing result:
DR.. Henry Foster. the gentleman in
question, is f3 or 64 years of age and has
an extremely cordial manner. He presldes
as superintendent over the celebrated sani-
tarlum which accommodates over 800
guests and Is unquestlonsbly the leading
health resort Cf the country. Several
years ago this benevolent man wisely de-
termined to be his own executor; and, there
fore turned over this magnificent property
worth $500, 0O0, as free gift TO board
of trustees, representing the principal evan
gellcal DENOMINATIONS. Among the trus-
tees are Bishop A. c. Coke, Protestant
Episcopal, Buffalo; Bishop Matthew SImp-
son, Philadelphia, Methodist Episcopal;
President n. B. Anderson, Of the Univer-
slty OF Rochester; Rev. DIR. Clark, Secreta-
~ of the A. b. L. Z. NJ, Boston. The
benevolent purpose Of the institution is the
care: 1st-of evangelical MISSIONARIES and
their families whose health has been broken
in their work. 2nd.--of ministers, of any
denomination, in good standing: Srd. 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 receipts from the
hundreds of 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 first 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 tnfling ailments
might prove. They constitute all classes,
including ministers and bishops, lawyers,
Judges, statesmen, millIonaires, journalists,
college professors and officials from all
parts OF the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter
remarked, doctor, that letter OF yours
has created good deal of talk, and many
OF our readers have questioned its authen-
ticity."
.'To wha. do you referl" remarked the
doctor.
"Have you not seen the paperl'
"Yes, but L have not had time to read
it yet"
The reporter thereupon 9howed him the
letter, which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANIrARIUM Co.,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, n. Y, Oct. IL, 1883.
DEAR SIFS l am using Warmers Safe
Cure, and regard it as the best remedy
for some forms OF kidney disease that we
have. l am watching with gresr care
some cases am now treating with it, and
[ hope for favorable results
wish you might come down yourself, as
1 would like very much to talk with you
about your sterling remedy and show you
over our institution,
Yours truly.

81 do not see why anybody should be
skeptical concerning that letter." remark
ed the doctor.
''lsn't it unusual for a physician of your
standing and influence to commend pro-
prietary preparahona"
az 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 to be
valuable. Because | know Warmers Safe |
Cure is very valuable preparation, l |
commend it. As Its power Is manifested |
under my use, so shall / add to the CON-
pleteness of my commentator.
''Have you ever analyzed 1t, doctor2"
''We always anslyze before we try any |
preparation of which we do rot know the
constituents But analysis, you know, |
only gives the elements; it does not give |
the all important proportions The re- |
markable power Of Warmers Safe Cure un- |
doubtedly consists In the proportions &C |
cordIDg to which its elements are mixed.n
While there may be a thousand remedies |
made Of the. same elements, unless they |
are put together In proper proportions, they |
are worthless as kidney and liver prepara-
tons
81 hope some day to meet Mr.. Warner
personally, and extend fuller csngratula-
tions TO him on the excellence of his prep
arations- / 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 a remedy upon the marx
et that was not trustworthy; and 1t was a
source of good deal of Qualification to me
10 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,
DIR. Robert a. Gum, Ex-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 50 many men, women
and children from disease and death.
