Upon % Subject of Vital Interest, Affect
ing the Welfare of All.
The following remarkable letter from one
OF the leading and best known scientific
writer's of the present day is specially sig
nificant, and should be of unusual value TO
oil readers who desire to keep pace with
the march of modern discoveries and
events:
"A general demand for reformation is one
OF the most distinctive characteristics OF
the nineteenth century. The common peo-
PIE as we'll as the more enlightened and re-
hned, cry out with no uncertain voice 20
be emancip ated from the slavery OF conser-
vatism and superstition which has held the
masses III gross ignorance during IA large
portion of the worlds history, and in the
time of the Dark Ages came near obllter-
ating the last glimmer of truth. Dogmatic
assertions ana blind empiIicism are losing
caste among all classes OF all countries.
People are beginning TO think for them
selves and to regard authority much less
than argument Men and women are no
longer willing that a few individuals should
dictate to them what must be their senti-
ments and opinions. They claim the right
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 evidences of reformatory
action People who, "a few years ago, en-
dured suffering the most intense, In the
name Of duty now realize the utter foolish
ness of such a course. Men who were under
the bondage of bigoted advisers allowed
their health to depart; suffered their con-
situations to become undermined and nnally
died martyrs TO a false system of treatment
There are millions OF people filling untimely
graves who might have lived TO green old
age, had their original troubles been taken
in time or properly treated There are
thousands of people to-day thoughtlessly
enduring the first SYMPTOMS of some serious
malady, and without the slightest reallza-
ton of the danger that is before them.
They have occasional headaches, a lack CT
appetite one day and n ravenous one the
next, or an unaccOuntable feeling OF weari-
ness, sometimes accompanied by nausea,
and attribute all these troubles to the old
idea of slight cold or malaria 1t is high
time that people awoke TO a knowledge of
the seriousness OF these matters and eman-
cipated themselves from the profe 'Sional
bigotry which controls them. Nhe ! tbs is
done and when all classes of physic ans be-
come LIBERAL enough to EXCLUDE ali dogmas,
save that it is their duty to cure disease Is
quickly and as safely as possible; to ma n
tain no other position than that Of truth
honestly ascertained, and to indorse and
recommend any remedy that has been found
useful, no matter what its origin there Will
be no more quaTe,ing among the doctors,
while there Will be grea5 rejoicing through
out the world.
II am well aware of the censure that viii
be melted out TO me for writing this letter,
but | feel that | cannoo be true TO my honest
convictions unless / extend a helping hand
and indorse all that know to be good The
extended publications for the past few
yeals. and graphic descriptions of different
diseases OF the kidneys and liver have
awakened the medical profession TO the fact
th.f ~ f,1..,. inn
The treatment of the doctors has been
largely experimental and many of their pa
TENTS have died while they were casting
about for remedy t. cure them
1t is now over two years since my atten-
tion was trst called to the use of a most
wonderful preparation in the treatment of
BTight's disease of the kidneys Patients
had frequently asked me about the remedy
aud had heard of remarkable cures effected
by ii, but IKE many Others / hes tated TO
recommend its use. personal friend Of
mine had been in poor health for some time
and his application for insurance on his life
had been rel cted on account of Bright S
disease Chemical and microscopical ex-
aminations of his urine revealed the pres
ence of large quantities. of albumen and
granular tube casts which confirmed the
correctness of the diagnosis After trying
all the usual remedies, directed him TO use
this preparation. and was greatly surprised
TO observe a decided improvement within u
month, and within four months, no tube
casts could be discovered. At that time
there was present only 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
after this prescribed this medicine il
full doses in both acute and chronic
nephritis [Bright's diseased and with the
most satisfactory results. My observations
were neither small in number nor hastily
made. They extended over several months
and embraced a large number of case
which have proved so satisfactory TO my
mind, that | would earnestly urge upon my
professional brethren the importance of
giving fair and patient trial TO Warner
Safe Cure. In large class Of ailments
where the blood is obviously in an un-
healthy state, especially where glandular
engagements and infiammatory eruptions
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 salow
the urine colored, constituting the condi-
ton 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 a a solvent of albu-
men; to soothe and heal the infiamed mem
branes TO wash out the epthelial debris
which blocks up the tubttH HrJsIcj, and TO
prevent a destructive metaInorphosis Of
tissue
belonging as do to a branch of the pro-
fession that believes that no one school of
medicine knows all the truth regarding the
treatment of disease, and being independ-
cnt enough TO select any remedy that will
relieve my patients, without reference to
the source from whence it comes, | am clad
to acknowledge and commend the merits
of this remedy thus frankly.
Respectfully yours.
