THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY.
Upon a subject of Vital Interest AHeo'-

Tha following remarkable letter from one
of the leading and best known sclentihc
writers of the present day Is especlaily
s;gnifcant. and should be of unusual value

I the march OF modern discoveries and events:

should dictate to them what must be their

Nright to solve for themselves the great
| questions of the day and demand that the

/ spected. As the result OF this general

/ taxable evidences of refornatory action.

panied by nausea, and attribute all these
/ troubles to the old idea OF a slight cold or
malaria. 1t is high time that people awoke
I TO a knowledge OF the seriousness OF these
4 matters and emancipated themselves from
4 the professional bigotry which controls
/ them. When this is done and when all
4 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 po-
/ sition than that of truth honestly ascer-
/ tanned, and to iGdorse andrecomnend any
\ remedy that has bean found useful, no mat

| quarreling among the doctors, while there
/ will be great rejoicing throughout the
/ world.
| II am well aware of the censure that
\ will be meted out to me for writing this
\ letter hut | feel that [ can not be true to
| my honest convictions unless | extend
/ helping hand and indorse all that | know
4 to be good. The extended publications for
| the past few years, and graphic descrip
I tions of different diseases OF the kidneys
/ and liver have awakened the medical pro-
yfession to the fact that these diseases are
4 greatly increasing. The treatment of the
! doctors has been largely experimental and
! many of their patients have died while
4 they were casting about for remedy to
| cure them.
sit is now over two years since my at
| tention was first called to the use of most
wonderful preparation in the treatment OF
| Br1ght's disease of the kidneys. Patients
1 had frequently asked me about the remedy
and | had heard of remarkable cures et-
| fected by it, but like many others hesi-
| tated to recommend its use. A personal
friend Of mine had been in poor health for
4 some time and his application for lnsur-
! ance on his life had been rejected on ac-
| count Of Bright's disease. Chemical and
! microscOpical examinations OF his urine re-
vealed the presence Of large quantities of
4 albumen and granular tube casts, which
confirmed the correctness of the diagnosis.
After trying all the usual remedies, dl-
rected him to use this preparation and was
greatly surprised 60 observe decided I'M
prOvement within a month, and within
| covered. At that time there was present
| only a trace of albumen, and he FELT, as he
! expressed it, perfectly WELL and all
| through the influence of Warmers SAFE
Cure. the remedy he used.
"After this prescribed this medicine in
| full doses in both acute and chronic ne
phritis, TBright's diseased and with the
most satisfactory results. lily observations
| were neither small in number nor hastily
made. They extended over several months
| and embraced a large number of cases
| which have proved so Sat lis "a actory to my
| mind, that l would earnestly urge upon
my professional brethren the Importance
OF giving fair and patient trial to War
ner's Safe Cure. In large class of all
ments where the blood is obviously in an
| unhealthy state, especially where glandu-
lar engOrgements and infammatory erup-
tions exist, indeed in many Of those forms
of chronic indispositiOn in which there is
no evidence of organic mischief, but where
the general health is depleted, the face sal
low, the urine colored, constituting the
condition in which the patient is said to be
bilious the advantage gained by the use
of this remedy is remarkable. In Bright's
/ disease it seems to act as a solvent OF al
| bumen; to soothe and heal the infiamed
| membranes; to wash out the eplthe 1aI
debris which blocks up the tubHh urinJeri,
and to prevent a destructive metamOrphosis
of tissue.
Z" Belonging as I do to a branch of the
profession that believes that no one school
of medicine knows all the truth regarding
the treatment of disease, and being indie
pendent enough to select any remedy that
will relieve my patients, without reference
to the source from whence it comes, am
glad to acknowledge and commend the
merits of this remedy thus frankly.
s. Respectfully yours.
