pace With Tile marcl OF modern ulSCOY-
cries and events:
"a general demand for information is
n of the most distinctive characteris-
tics ofthe nineteenth century. The COM
mon people, as we'll as the more en-
l%ightened and refined, cry out with no
uncertain voice to be emanripated from
stition which has held the masses in
gross ignora ce during a large por-
ton of the worlds history, and in the
time of the Ozark Ages came
near celebrating the lat gtimmer
of truth. Dogmatic assertions and
blind empircism are losing caste among
all classesot III countries. Peopleare be-
ginning to think for themselves, and to
regard authority much less than argu-
ment. Men and women are no longer
willing that a few individuals should die
tate to them what must be their senti-
mentsand opinions. They claimtl e right
to solve for themselves the great cues
tions ofthe day and demand that the gen
eral good OF humanity shall be respected.
AS the result of this general awakening,
we see, onevery hand, unmistakable evil
dences of %reformatory action. Peo-
pile who, a few yearsagO, endured suffer.

ment. There are millions of people fill
ing untimely graves who might have

without the slightest iealiZat,on of the

attribute all these troubles to the old

and enanclp t d themselves from the
professional tigotry wi ich O .trols them
When this isdone and when all class of
physicians become liberal enough to ex-
Guide al doglnas, 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 ascer-
tanned, and to endorse and recommend
any remedy that las been found useful,
no matter what its origin, there will be
no more Quarrellng among the doctors,
throughout the world"
III am we'll aware OF the censure that
will be meted out to me for writing this
letter but i feel that | cannot be true to
my honest convictions unless | extend a
helping hand and endorse all that I
know to be good. The extended publi-
cations for the past few years, and graph
ic descriptions ofdiM rent diseases nfthe
kidneys and liver have awakened the
medical profession to the fact that these
diseases are greatly increasing. The
treatment of the doctors has been large
ly experimental and many OF their pa
tients have dice while they We're casting
about for a remedy to cure them"
sit is now over two years since my at
tention was Grst called to the use of a most
wonderful preparation in the treatment
of Bri.ht's disease of the kidneys. Pa
tients had frequently asked me aboutthe
remedy and | had heard Of remarkable
cures etfec ed by it, but like many 9TH
ers | hesitated to recommend its use. A
personal friend of mine had been
in poor health for some time
and his application for insur-
ance on his life had been rejected on
account of Bright's disease. Chemical
n m~icroscopical examinations of his
quantities of albumen and granular tube
casts, which confirmed the correctness
ofthe diagnosis. After trying all the
usual remedies, l directed him to use
this preparation and was greatly sur.
pr!sed to observe a decided improve
ment within a month, and within four
months no lutte casts could be discovered.
AT that time there was pres Mt only q
trace OF albumen, and he felt, as he ex.
pressed it,, perfectly we'll, and all
through the influence OF Warmers Safe
Cure, the remedy he used"
CATER this | prescribed this medicine
IN full doses in both acute and chronic
nephritis, [Brlght's diseased and with
the most satisfactory results. My OBJ.
servatiOns were neither snailin number
nor hastily made. They extended over
several months and embraced a large
number of cases which have proved so
satisfactory to my mind that | would
earnestly urge opon my professional
brethren the importance of giving a far
and patient trial to Warmers Safe Cure.
In q large class of ailments where the
blood is obviously in an unhealthy state,
especially where glandular engagements
and int1ammatorv erupti"ns exist. indeed
III many of those forms of chronic indis-
position in which there is no evidence
OF organic mischief but where the gem
eral health is depleted, the face sallow,
the urine colored, constituting the con-
dition 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 solv-
ent of albumen, to soothe and heal the
iniamed membranes; to wash out the
eptlelial debris when blocks up the
tnnuli uriniferi. and to prevent q destruc-
tive metainorphosis of tissue"
Belonging as | 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 independent enough to select any
remedy that will relieve my patients,
without reference to the soulce from
wheI C : t comes, | am glad to acknowl-
edge and commend the merits of this
remedy thus frankly.
