HIS OWN EXECuTOR.
.HS ssc C%asSa BY One 81 Iis

and the COmmOtiOn Caused by One Of His
Letters.
fRochestey Democrat and Chronielel.
We published in our local columns yester-
day morning a significant letter from a gen.
tleman 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 pal
pable frauds and Misrepresentation" there
fore, TO confirm beyond doubt the authen-
ticity of the letter. and the genuineness Of
It's sentiments, a reporter Of this paper was
commissioned to ascertain all the possible
facts in the matter. Accordingly he visited
Clifton Springs, saw the author of the letter,
and with the following result:
DIR. Henry Foster, the gentleman In ques-
tremely cordial manner. He presides as su
perntendent oyer the celebrated sanitarium
which accommodates over five hundred
guests and is unquestionably the leading
health resort of the country. Several years
Ago this benevolent man wisely determined
TO be his own executor; and, therefore turned
over this magnificent property worth $780,,
0J0, as a free gift TO q board OF trustees,
representing the principal evangelical de-
nominations. Among the trustees are Bishop
A. G. Coke, Protestant Episcopal, Buffalo;
Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philadelphia,
Methodist Episcopal; President M, b. An
derson, CT tho University of Rochester; Rev.
DIR. Clark, Secretary Of the A. b. c. i. NJ,
Boston. The benevolent purpose of the in
stitution 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 ex-
penses Of the institution are met by the re-
ceipt from the hundreds Of distinguished
and wealthy people who every year crowd
its utmost capacity. Here come men and
women who were once in perfect health, but
neglected the first symptoms Of disease. The
uncertain pains they felt at first were over
looked 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 aud bishops, lawyers,
judges, statesmen, miliOnaireS, journalists,
college professors and officials from all parts
of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter re-
marked: "Doctor, that letter of yours has
created good deal of talk and many of our
readers has questioned it's authenticity"
ITO what do you REFER" remarked the doc
tor.
''Have you not seen the paper r'

letter, which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM Co.,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, n. Y, Oct. II, 1882. I
Dear Sir: am using Warmers Safe Cure,
and regard il as the best remedy for some
forms of .dney disease that we have. lam
watching with great care some cases l am
now treating with it, and hope for favor
able results.
wish you might come down yourself, as
l would ike very much to talk with you
about your sterling remedy and show you
over our institution.

"I do not see why anybody should be skep-
tical concerning that letter." remarked the
doctor.
isn't il unusual for o. physician Of your
standing ami influence TO commend a pro
prietary preparation
"Idon't know how it may be with Others, but
in this institution we allow no person to die
tate TO us what we shall use. Our purpo.e is
to cure the sick, and for that work We use
ANYTHING we know to be valuable. Because
/ know Warmers Safe Cure is very valua-
BILE preparation, commend it. AS its power
is manifested under my use, so shall / add to
the completene of my commendation."
Have you ever analyzed it, doctor"
owe always analyze before we try any
preparation of which we do not know the
gives the elements; il does not give the all inn
portant proportions The remarkable power
Of Warmers Safe Cure undoubtedly consists
in the proportions according to which its ee
ments are mixed" While there may be a
thousand remedies made of the same ele-
ments, unless they are put together in proper
proportions they are worthless as kidney and
liver preparations.
81 hope some day to meet Mr.. Warner per
sonally, and extend fuller cong atulations to
him on the excellence of his preparations.
have heard much of him as the founder of the
Warner Observat1ry, and as 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 trustworthy;
and it was a source of q good deal Of gratif-
cation to me to fad out by actual experiment
that the remedy itself sustained my impress
sions.'
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster is
precisely the same found by DR.. Dio Lewis,
Dr. Rol ert A. Gum, ex gcon-General
Gallagher and others, and proves beyond a
doubt the great efficacy of the remedy which
has awakened so much attention in the land
and res ued so many men, women and chill
dren from disease and death.
