A Well-known Gentleman's PHILANTHROPY,
and the Co mmotion Caused by one of Hi,
| Letters.
Rochester Democrat and Chroniclel.
We publish in Cur local columns ysster
| day morning significant letter from q
| gentleman known personally or by repu-
tation to nearly every person in the land
We have received number of letters pro-
testing against the use of our columns for
such "palpable frauds and misrepresenta-
tions;" therefore, to confirm beyond q
doubt the authenticity of the letter, and
the genuiness of its sentiments, reporter
of this paper was commissioned to ascer-
tain all the possible facts in the matter.
Accordingly he visited Clifton Springs,
saw the author o. the letter, and with the
following result:
DR.. Henry Foster, the gentleman in
question. is sixty three or sixty-four years
OF age and has an extremely cordial man
ner. He presides as superintendent over
the celebrated sauitarium which accommo-
dates over 500 guests and is unquestion-
ably the leading health resort of the coun-
try. Several years ago this benevolent
man wisely determined to be his own exc
cutor; and, therefore, tnrned over this
magnificent property with 100000, as
free gift to board of trustees, represent
ing the principal evangelical denomina-
tons. Among the trustees are Bishop A. G.
Co1e,i Protestant Episcopal, Buff
falo; Bishop Mathew Simpson,
Philadelphia Methodist Episcopal;
President M. B. Anderson, of the Univer-
sity of Rochester; Rev. DR.. Clark. secreta-
~ of the A. Br C. F. NJ, Boston. The
benevolent purpose of the institution is
the care: 1st. OF evang elicali missiona-
ries and their families W hose health has
been broken in their work. End. of min
listers, of any denomination, in good
standing. Sd. Of members of any church:
who otherwise would be unable to secare
such care and treatment. The current ex-
penses of the Institution are met by the
receipt from The hundreds of distinguish
ed 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
overlooked until their health became i'm
paired. They little realized the danger
before them, nor how alarming even tri-
fling ailments might prove. They consti-
tute all classes, including ministers and
bishops, lawyers. judges, statesmen, mill
lonaires, journalists, college professors and
officials from al parts of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter re-
marked, doctor, that letter of yours has
created a good dssl of talk, and many of
our readers have questioned its authentic
ity."
ITO what do you refer?" remarked the
doctor.
''Have you not seen the paper?"
Yes, but hsYe not had time to read it
vet.'
The reporter thereupsn showed him the
letter, which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM Co.,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, NY, Oct II, 1888. !
DEAR Sic: l am using Warmers Safe
lure, and l regard it as the best remedy
Tor some forms of kidney disease that we
have. 1 am watching with great care some
cases am now treating with it, and hope
for favorable results.
wish you might come down yourself, as
l would like very much to talk with you
about your sterling remedy and show you
our institution. Yours truly,
Signed. HENRY FOSTER, MI
Il do not see why anybody should be
skeptical concerning that letter." remarked
the doctor.
isn't it unusual for a physician of your
standing and influence to commend a
proprietary preparation"
Il don't know how it may be with others,
but IN this Institution We allow no pers IN
to dictate to Us what We shall use. Ouc
purpose is to cure the sick, and for that
work we use anything We know to be val
liable. Because l know Warmers Safe
Cure is very valuable preparation, com
mend 1t. As its power is manifested under
my use, so shall add to the com pIeteuess
of my concentrations"
Have you ever analysed it, doctor"
"We always apalszs before We try any
preparation of which we DO not know the
constituents. Bat analysis, you know ,oply
gives the elements; it does not give all the
important proportions. The remarkable
power of Warmers Safe Cure undoubtedly
consists in the proportions according to
which its elements are mixed While
there may be thousand remedies made
of the same elements, unless they are put

worthless as kidney and liver prepare
tions.
81 hope some day to meet Mr.. Warner
personally, and extend fuller congratula-
tions TO him OF the excellence of MS prep
arations. l have heard much of him as
the founder of the Warner Observatory,
and as a man of large beneYolenee. The
reputed high character of the man him
self gave assurance to me in the first placs
that he would not put a remedy upon the
market that was not Trustworthy; and 1t
was source of a good deal of qualification
to me to find ont by actual experiment
that the remedy itself sustained my i'm
pressions."
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster is
precisely the same found by DR.. Dio
Lewis, DR.. Robert A. Gum, ex-Surgeon
General Gallagher and others, and proves
beyond q doubt the great efficacy of the
remedy which has awakened 80 much at
tention in the land and rescued so many
men, women and children from disease
and death.
