(Rochcster Democrat ana C'trontcle.)
We published IN our local columns yes
terday morning significant letter from a
gentleman known personally or by reputa
tion to nearly every person In the land.
We have received number Of letters pro.
testing against tho use of our columns for
such ''palpable frauds and misrepresenta-
tions;" therefore, to confirm beyond a
doubg the authenticity of the letter, aud the
genuibeness Of its sentiments, a reporter OF
this paper was commissioned to ascertain
all the possible facts IN the matter. Accord
lngly he visited Clifton Springs, saw tho
author Of the letter, and with the follow
Ing result:
DIR. Henry Foster, the gentleman In
question, Is 60 or 81 years of age and has
an extremely cordial manner. lie presldes
as superintendent over the celebrated eaDi-
tarlum which accommodates over 600
guests and ls unquestionably the leading
health resort Of 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, QUO, as a free gift to board
OF trustees, representing the principal evan
gclical denominations. Among the trus-
tees are B1ahop A. q. Coke, Protestant
Episcopal, Buffalo; Bishop Matthew Slmp-
son, Philadelphia, Methodist Episcopal;
President N. B. Anderson, OF the Unvcr.
slty of Rochester; Rev. Dr. Clark, Secreta-
ry of the A. 3. U. F. d., Boston. The
benevolent purpose of the institution Is the
care: 1st.-of evangelical missionaries and
their families whose health has been broken
Ia their work. 2nd. ministers, of any
denomination, in good standing: 3rd. of
members OF any church,; who otherwise
would be unable to secure snch care aud
treatment. The current expenses Of the
institution are met by the receipts from tho
hundreds Of distinguished and wealthy
people who every year crowd It's utmost
capacity. Here come men and women
who were once In perfect health, but neg.
leclcd the first symptoms OF disease. The
uncertain pains they telt at first were over
looked until their health became impaired.
They little realized the danger before them,
nor how alarming even tnflng ailments
might prove. They constitute all clusses,
including ministers and bishops, lawyers,
judges, statesmen, milllonaires, Journalists,
col.cge professors and officials from all
p, rte of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chfonacte 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 autnen-
ticity."
''To wha. do you referR" remarked the
doctor.
'tlavc you not seen the paper2'
''Yes, but have not had time to read
1t yel."
The reporter thereupon showed him tho
letter, which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SAN1TARtuM Co.,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, N. Y, Oct IL, 1883.
DEAR SIR: l am using Warmers Safe
Cure, and regard it as the best remedy
for some forms Of kidney disease that wo
have. l am watching with great care
some cases am now treating with it, and
hope for favorable results.
wish you might come down yourself, as
would like very much to talk with you
about your sterling remedy and show you
over our institution,
Yours truly.
(Signed] HENRY FOSTER, M d.
IL do not see why anybody should be
skeptical concerning that letter." remark
ed the doctor.
'lsn't 1t unusual for physlcian of your
standing and influence to commend pro-
prictary preparahon9"
81 don't know how 1t may be with
others, but IN this institution we allow no
person to dictate to us what we shall use.
Our purpose ls 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 1t. AS its power Is manifested
under my use, 30 shall add to the CON-
pleteness Of my commentator.
'Have you ever annlyzcd 1t, doctorq"
"We always analyze 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.
markablc power Of Warmers Safe Cure IN.
doubleday Consists IN the proportions ac-
cordlng to which It's elements arc Mixed"
While there may be q thousand remedies
made OF the Same elements, unless they
are put together In proper proportions, they
are worthless as kidney and liver prcpara-
tlOns.
IL hope some day to meet MIR. Warner
personally, and extend fuller cengratula-
tons to HIM on the exceIIoace OF his prep.
arations. have heard much OF him "a
the founder of the Warner Observatory.
and as man OF large benevolcnce. The
reputed high character of the man hims OH
gave assurance to me IN the fret place that
he would not put remedy upon the mark-
ct that was not trustworthy; aud 1t was a
source of good deal of qualification to me
TO find out by actual experiment that tho
remedy Itself sustained my Impressions"
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster 70
precisely the same found by Or. Dio Lewis
Or. Robert A. Gunn, Ex.Surgcon General
Gallagher and others, and proves beyond a
doubt the great efficacy of the remedy
which has awakened 30 much attention N
the land and rescued 30 many men, women
and children from disease and death.
