BUTLER CITIZEN
MISCELLANEOUS.
HIS OWN EXECUTOR.
A Well known Gentleman's
Philanthropy and the Com
motion Caused by One
Of bis Letters.

a gentleman known personally OF by
reputation 10 nearly every person in
the land. We have received a number
of letters protesting against the use of
our columns for such "palpable frauds
and misrepresentation" therefore, to
confirm beyond doubt the Authentic
ity of the letter, and the genuineness
of its sentiments, reporter of this
paper was commissioned 10 ascertain
all the possible facts in the matter.
Accordingly he visited Clifton Springs,
saw the author of the letter, and with
the following result.
Dr. Henry Foster, the gentleman in
question, is 63 or Ga years of age and
has an extremely cordial manner. He
presides as superintendent over the
celebrated sanitarium which accomo-
dates over 500 guests and is unques-
tionably the leading health resort OF
the country. Several years ago this
benevolent man wisely determined to
be his own executor; and, therefore
turned over his magnificent property
worth 100000, as a free gift to a
board of trustees. representing the prin-
cipal evangelical denominations
Among the trustees are Bishop A. c.
Coke, Protestant Episcopal, Buffalo;
Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philadelphia,
Methodist Episcopal; President NJ. B.
Anderson, of the University of Roches-
ter; Rev. Dr. Clark, Secretary of the
A. g. C. F. NJ, Boston. The benev-
olent 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 3rd-of members of
any church; who otherwise would be
unable to secure such care and treat
ment. The current expenses of the in
stitution are met by the receipt from
the hundreds Of distinguished and
wealthy people who every year crowd
its utmost capacity. Here come men
women who were once in perfect
health, but neglected the first symp-
toms of disease The uncertain pains
which they felt at first were overlooked
until their health became impaired.
They little realized the danger before
them, nor how alarming even trifing
ailments might prove. They constitute
all classes, including ministers and
bishops, lawyers, judges, statesmen,
millionaires, Journalists. college profes-
sors and officials from all parts Of the
land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the repor-
ter remarked, "Docter, that letter of
yours has created good deal of talk,
and many Of our readers have question
toned its authenticity"
"To what do you refer?" remarked
the doctor.
Have you not seen the paper?"
Yes, but | have not had time to
read it yet"
The reporter thereupon showed him
the letter, which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM Co.
CLIFTON SPRINGS, N Y, Oct. IL, 's3.
DEAR Sir: / am using Warmers
Safe Cure, and regard it as the best
remedy for some forms of kidney dis
ease that we have. | am watching
with great care some cases / am now
treating with it, and hope for favora-
BILE results.
wish you might come down your
self, as | would like very much to talk
with you about your sterling remedy
and show you over our institution.
Yours truly,
[Signed] HENRY FOSTER, NJ. d.
81 do not see why anybody should
be skeptical concerning that letter." re-
marked the doctor.
isn't it unusual for physician of
your standing and influence to COM
meLd proprietary preparation 2"
81 don't know how it may be with
others, but 10 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 any,
thing we know to be valuable. Be-
cause | know Warmers Safe cure is
very valuable preparation, | commend
it. AS its power ia manifested under
my use, 80 shall add to the complete
ness Of my commentator"
Have you ever analyzed it, doctor?"
owe always analyze before we try
any preparation Of which we do not
know the constituents. But analysis,
you know, only gives the elements it
does not give the all important proper
tions. The remarkable power of
Warmers Safe Cure undoubtedly con-
sists in the proportions according to
which it's elements are mixed" 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
preparations.
81 hope some day to meet Mr. Warn
er personally, and extend fuller con-
gratnlations to him on the excellence OF
his preparations. | have heard much
Of him a5 the founder Of the Warner
observatory, and rs man Of large
benevolence. 'ihe reputed high char
actcr Of the man himself gave assur-
ance to me in the first place that he
would not pat remedy upon the
market that was not trustworthy and
it was source Of good deal Of graft
fication to me to find out by actual ex-
pertinent that the remedy itself sus-
tained my impressions"
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster
is precisely the same found by DR.. Dio
I,amis Dr II ohart A Grnn Ey
Surgeon-Gcneral 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 50 many men, women and
children from diseases and death.
