Upon Subject Of Vital Interest, Affecting the
Welfare Of All.
The following remarkable letter from one of
the leading and best known scientific writers
of the present day is specially significant, aud
should be Of unusual vall;n to all readers who
desire to keep pace with the march OF modern
discoveries and events:
IA general demand for reformation is one
of the most distinctive characteristics OF the
nineteenth century. The common people, as
well as tho more enlightened and refined, cry
out with no uncertain voice to be emancipted
from the slavery of conservatism and super
stition which has held the masses in gross ig-
norance during large portion Of the world
history, aud in the time Of the Dark Ages
came near obliteratlpg the last gimmer OF
truth. Dogmatic assertions and blind empiri-
cism are losing caste among all classes OF all
countries. People are beginning to think for
themselves, and to regard authority much less
than argument. Men and women are nolonger
willing that few individuals should dictate to
them what must be their sentiments and opin-
IONS. They claim the right to solve for them
! selves the great questions Of the day and de-
mand that the general good Of humanity shall
be respected. AS the result of this general
awakening, we see, on every hand, nnmistak-
able evidences Of reformatory action. People
who, a few years ago, endured suffering the
most intense in the name of duty, now realize
the utter foolshness Of such course. Men
who we're under the bondage of bigoted ad-
visers allowed their health TO depart;
suffered their constitutions to become
undermined and finally died as martyrs
to 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
people to-day, thoughtlessly enduring the first
symptoms Of some serious malady and without
| the slightest realization Of the danger that is
| before them. They have occasional heal
| aches: lack of appetite one day and raven
| ous one the next, or an unaccountable feeling
Of wesrness. sometimes accompanied by nausea
and attribute all these troubles to the old idea
| of "a slight cold or malaria. 1t is high time
| that people awoke to the knowledge Of the
seriousness Of these matters and emancipated
| themselves from the professional bigotry which
controls them. When this is done and when
| all classes Of physicians become liberal enough
to exclude all dogmas, save that it ID their duty
to cure disease as quickly, and as safely as pos
| sible; to maintain no other position than that
of truth honestly ascertained, and to endorse
| and recommend any remedy that has been
found useful, no matter what its origin, there
will be no more quarrelng among the doctors,
| while there will be great rejoicing throughout
| the world"
" am well aware Of the ccnsure that will be
meted out to mt for writing this letter but
feel that cannot be true to my honest convic-
| tions unless extend a helping hand and en-
| dorse all that know to be good. The extend
| ed publications for the past few years, and
| the kidneys and liver have awakened the medl-
cal profession to the fact that these diseases are
greatly increasing. The treatment of the doctors
| has been largely experimental and many OF
their patients have died while they were cast
| ing about for q remedy to cure them"
was first called to the use OF most wonderful
preparation IN the treatment OF Bright's
disease Of the kidneys. Patients had frequent.
| ly asked me about the remedy and I had heard
of remarkable cures effected by it, but like
many others hesitated to recommend its use.
A personal friend OF mine had been in poor
health for some time, and his application for
insurance on his life had been rejected on &C
count of Bright's diEease. Chemical and
| microscopical examinations OF his urine re-
yealed the presence Of large quantities Of albu-
men and granular tube casts, which cohrmed
the correctness of the diagnosis. After trying
| all the usual remedies, directed him to use
| this preparation and was greatly surprised to
observe decided improvement within 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 ex-
pressed it, perfectly well, and all through the
influence of Warmers Safe Cure, the remedy he
| used"
| "After this prescribed this medicine in full
| doses in both acute and chronic nephrltis.
| [Bright's diseased and with the most satisfac-
| tory results My observations we're neither
small in number nor hastily made. Thsy ex-
tended over several months and embraced a
| large number of cases which have proved sc
| satisfactory to my mind, that would earnestly
urge upon my professional brethren tho i'm.
portance of giving fair and patient trial to
Warmers Safe Cure. In n large class of all
ments where the blood is obviously In an un-
healthy state, especially where glandular en-
gorgements and lnfiammatory eruptions exist,
indeed in many Of those forms OF chronic in
disposition in which there is no evidence of
organic mischief, but where the general health
is depleted, the face sallow, the urine colored,
constituting the condition in which the patient
is said to be bilious the advantage gained by

which blocks up the tubuR uriniteri, and tC
prevent destructive metamorphosls Of tis.

Belonging as do to branch of the pro.
| fesslon that believes that no one school Of medi-
cine knows all the truth regarding the treat
| ment of disease, and being independent enough
| to select any remedy that will relieve my pa
tients, without reference to the source from
whence it comes, l am glad to acknowledge
and commend the merits Of this remedy thus
frankly. Respectfully yours,
