HIS OWN EXECUTOR.
a weii-known Gentleman's Phiianthro-
ply and the Commotion Caused
by One of His Letters.

by One Of His Letters.
Rochester Democrat anS Chronicle.
We published in our local columns
yesterday morning a significant letter
from gentleman known personally or
by reputation to 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 authenticity
of the letter, and.the genuineness of its
sentiments, a reporter of this paper was
commissioned to ascertain all the possi-
BILE facts in the matter. Accordingly he
visited Clifton Springs, saw the author
of the letter and with the following re-
suit:
DR.. Henry Foster, the gentleman in
question, is SO or "a years of age. and
has an extre mely cordial manner. He
presides as superintendent over the cele-
brated sanitarium which accommodates
over 800 guests, and is unquestionably
the leading health resort OF the country.
Several years ago this benevolent man
wisely determined to be his own execu-
tor, and therefore turned over this mag
nificent property, worth $4,000, as a
free gift to board of trustees, represent
ing the principal evangelical denomina-
tions. Among the trustees are Bishop
A. G. Coke, Protestant Episcopal, Buf-
falo; Bishop Matthew Simpson, Phila-
delphia, Methodist Episcopal; President
NJ. b. Anderson, of the University OF
Rochester; Rev. DIR. Clark, Secretary of
the A. b. Z. +. NJ, Boston. The benevo-
lent purpose of the institution is the
care: lst.-Of evangelical missionaries
and their families whose health has
been broken in their work. 2d.-Of
ministers of any denomination in good
standing. 3d.-Of members of any
church who otherwise would be unable
to secure such care and treatment. The
current expenses of the institution are
met by the receipts from the hundreds
OF distinguished and wealthy people
who every year crowd its utmost capaci-
ty. Here come men and women who
were once in perfect health, but neg
le, ted the first symptoms of disease.
The uncertain pains they felt at first
were overlooked until their health be-
came impaired. They little realized the
danger before them, nor how alarming
even trifiing ailments might prove.
They constitute all classes, including
ministers and bishops, lawyers, Judges,
statesmen, millionaires, journalists. col
lege professors and officials from all
parts of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the repcrter
tL
has created a good deal Of talk, and
many OF our readers have questioned its
authenticity"
TO what do you refer?" remarked the
doctor.
IN We you not seen the paper?'
les, but have not had time to read
il yet"
The reporter thereupon showed him
the letter which read as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM Co.,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, N. Y, Oct. II, 1888.
DEAR SIR: / am using Warmers Safe
Cure, and l regard it as the best remedy
for some forms of kidney disease that we
have. l am watching with great care
some cases l am now treating with it,
and l hope for favorable results.
l wish you might come down yourself
as l would like very much to talk with
you about your sterling remedy and
show you over our institution.
Yours truly,
lSignedl HENRY FOSTER, NJ ID.
81 do not see why anybody should be
skeptical concerning that letter" remark
cd the doctor.
Isn't it unusal for physician Of your
standing and influence to commend
proprietary preparation"
81 don't know how it NAV be with
others, but in 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 anything we know
to be valuable. Because / know War
ncr's Safe Cure is very valuable pre-
paration, | commend it. As it's power
is manifested under my use, so shall |
add to the completeness of my commend
ation."
Have you ever analyzed it, doctor?"
I'VE 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 proportions.
The remarkable power of Warmers Safe
Cure undoubtedly consists in the proper.
tions according to which its elements are
mixed While there may be a thousand
remedies made of the same elements, un-
less they are put together in proper pro-
portions, they are worthless as kidney
and liver preparations.
81 hope some day to meet Mr.. Warner
personally, and extend fuller congratula-
tions to him on the excellence of his
preparations | have heard much of him
as the founder of the Warner Observa-
tory, and as a man of large benevolence.
The reputed high character of the man
himself gave assurance to me in the first
place that he would not put remedy
upon the market that was not trust
worthy; and it was source of a good
deal qualification TO me to find out by
actual experiment that the remedy itself
sustained my impressions"
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster
is precisely the same found by DIR. Dio
Lewis, DR.. Robert A. Gum, Ex Surgeon
General Gallagher and others, and proves
beyond doubt the efficacy of the rem
edy which has awakened so much atten-
ton in the land and rescned SO many
men, women and children from disease
and death.
