THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY
Upon Subject of Vital Interest, Enecting
tho Welfare of All.

The following remarkable letter from
one of the leading and best known sci
entific writers of the present day is
specially significant, and should be of
unusual value to all readers who desire
to keep pace with the march of modern
discoveries and events:
ga general demand for reformation
Is one of the most distinctive character
lstics of the nineteenth century. The
common people, as we'll as the more
enlightened and refined, cry out with no
uncertain voice to be emancipated from
the slavery of conservatism and super
stition which has held the masses in
gross ignorance during a large portion
OF the worlds history, and in the time
OF the Ozark Ages came near obliterat-
ing the last glimmer of truth. Dogmatic
assertions and blind emplricism are
losing caste among all classes of all
countries. People are beginning to
think for themselves, and to regard
authority much less than argument.
Men and women are no longer willing
that few individuals should dictate to
them what must be their sentiments
and opinions. They claim the right to
solve for themselves the great questions
of the day and demand that the general
good of humanity shall be respected.
AS the result of this general awakening,
we see on every hand unmistakable evil
dences of reformatory action. People
who, few years ago, endured suffer-
ing the most intense in the name of
duty, now realize theutter feOlishness of
such a course. Men who were under
the bondage of bigoted advisers allowed
their health to depart; suffered their
constitutions to become undermined
and finally died as martyrs to false
system of treatment. There are millions
of people filling untimely graves who
might have lived to a green old age had
their original troubles been taken in
time or properly treated. There are
thousands of people to-day, thoughtless-
ly enduring the first symptoms of some
serious malady and without the slight
est realization of the danger that is be-
fore them. They have occasional head
aches; a lack of appetite one day and a
ravenous one the next,or an unaccount-
able feeling of WEAKNESS, sometimes &C
companied by nausea and attribute all
these troubles to the old idea of "a slight
cold or malaria. 1t is high time that
people awoke to a knowledge of the Sc
robustness of these matters and emanci-
pated themselves from the professional
bigotry which controls them. When
this is done and when all classes of
physicians become liberal enough to
exclude all dogmas, save that it is their
duty to cure disease as quickly, and as
safely as possible; to maintain no other
position than that of truth honestly as
cer5ained, and to endorse and recon-
mend any remedy that has been found
useful, no matter what its origin, there
will be no more quarreling among the
doctors, while there will be great re-
ioicing throughout the world"
81 am well aware of the censure that
will be melted out to me for writing this
letter but feel that [ cannot be true to
my honest convictions unless [ extend t
a helping hand and endorse all that I |
know to be good. The extended pub
LEGATIONS for the past few years, and
graphic descriptions Of different dis |
eases of the kidneys and liver have
awakened the medical profession to the !
fact that these diseases are greatly in
creasing. The treatment of the doc
tors has been largely experimental and
many of their patients have died while /
they were casting about for remedy !
to cure them"
SIT is now over two years since my
attention was first called to the Use of a |
most wonderful preparation in the treat I
nient of Bright's disease of the kidneys. |
Patients had frequently asked me about |
the remedy and had heard of remark
able cures effected by it., but like many |
others hesitated to recommend its use.
A personal friend of mine had been in
poor health for some time aud his ap-
plication for insurance on his life had
been rejected on sccount Of Bright's /
disease. Chemical and microscopical
examinations Of his urine revealed the
presence of large quantities of albumen
and granular tube casts, which con-
firmed the correctness of the diagno-
sis. After trying sill the usual reme-
dies, directed him to use this prepara-
ton and was greatly surprised to OBJ
serve decided improvement within a
month, and within four months, no tube
casts could be discovered. At that
time there was present only a trace of
albumen, and he felt, as he expressed
it, perfectly we'll, and all through the
influence of Warmers Safe Cure, the
remedy he used"
ssAfter this prescribed this medicine
in full doses in both acute and chronic
[Bright's diseased and with
the most satisfactory results. My OBJ
seryations were neither small in num-
Der nor hastily made. They extended
over several months and embraced a
