The following remarkable letter from
one 81 the leading and best known scien
tifc writers OF the present day is special!
significant, and should be Of unusual valui
to all readers who desire to keep pace witt
the march OF modern discoveries aud
events
"a general demand for reformation Il
one Of the most distinctive characteristics
Of the nineteenth century. The common
people, as well as the more enlightened
and refined, cry out with no uncertain
voiceto be emancipated from the slavery
Of conservatism and superstition which has
held the masses in gross ignorance during
q large portion OF the worlds history, and
In the time OF the Dark Ages came near
obliterating the last glimmer Of truth.
Dogmstic assertions and blind empiricisms
are losing caste among all classes Of al
countries. People are beginning to think
for themselves, and TO regard authority
much less than argument Men and
women are no longer willing that few in
diyiduals should dictate to them what must
be their sentiments and opinions. They
claim the right 10 solve for themselves the
great questions OF the day and demand
that the general good Of humanity shall be
respected. AS the result OF this general
awakening, we see, on every hand, unmis-
taxable evidences OF relormatory action.
People who, few years ago, endured SUI
fering the most intense in the name oil
duty, now realize the utter foolishness Of
such course. Men who were under the
bondage Of bigoted advisors allowed their
health to depart; suffered their constitutions
to become undermined and finally died as
martyrs 10 y false system OF treatment
There are millions Of people filling un-
timely graves who might have lived to
green old age had their original troubles
been taken in time or properly treated.
There are thousands OF people to-day
thoughtlessly enduring the first symp.
toms of some serious malady and
without the slightest realization Of
the danger that is before them. They
have occasional headaches: lack OF appe-
lite one day and a ravenous one the next,
or an unaccountable feeling OF wearinees,
sometimes accompanied by nausea and at
tribute all these troubles to the old idea Of
"a slight cold or malaria. It is high time
that people awoke to knowledge oil the &C.
robustness oil these matters and enancipated
themselves from the professional bigotry
which controls them. When this Ia done
and when all classes Of physicians become
liberal enough to exclude all dogmas, save
that 1t il their duty 10 cure disease as quick |
Iy, and as Eafely as possible; to maintain no
other position than that OF truth honestly |
and to endorse and recon-.
mend any remedy that has been found use |
Iul, no matter what its origin, there will be |
no more quarreling among the doctors,
while there will be great rejoicing through |
but the world"
~ ain well aware OF the censure that will |
be melted out to me for writing this letter |
but feel that l cannot be true to my |
honest convictions unless extend help |
log hand and endorse all that know 10 be
good. The extended publications Tor the
past lew years, and graphic descriptions OF
different diseases Of the kidneys and liver
have awakened the medical profession TO
Tie fact that these diseases are greatly in
cr asing. The treatment OF the doctors has
been largely experimental and many Of
their patients have died while they we're
casting about Tor remedy to cure them"
sit is over two years since my attention
was first called to the use Of most won.
1erful preparation in the treatment OF
Bright's disease OF the kidneys. Patients
bad frequently asked me about the remedy
and | had heard OF remarkable cures
Effected by it, but like many others l hest:
lated to recommend its use. A personal
friend OF mine had been in poor health for
some time and hisapplication for insurance
on bis life had been rejected on account Of
b lights disease. Chemical and microsco.
pical examinations Of his urine revealed the
presence Of large quantities OF albumen
and granular tube casts, which confirmed
he correctness Of the diagnosis. After
rying all the usual remedies, directed |
him 10 use this preparation and was greatly |
surprised to observe q decided improve. |
ment within month, aud within four
months, no tube casts could be discovered. |
At that time there was pr, sent oHly trace |
oil albumen, and he felt, as he expressed 1t,
perfectly WELL and all through the inhu- |
nnce ri Warmers Sale Cure, the remedy he
used"
"After this | prescribed this M dicine in |
full d0sss Ia both acute and chronic nep-
hritis, Bright's disease and with the most
results. Ny observations were
neither small in 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 l would earnestly urge upon my pro-
fessional brethren the importance Of giving
II lair and patient trial TO Warmers Sale
Cure. In large class OF ailments where
the blood is obviously In an unhealthy
stale, especially where glandular engorge-
ments and inaammatory eruptions exist,
indeed in many OF those forms OF chronic
indisposition 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 the use Of this remedy
is remarkable. In Bright's disease 1t seems
TO act as solvent OF albumen; to soothe
and heal the inilamed membranes; to wash
out the epithelial debris which blocks up
the tuJui uriniferi, and to prevent de.
slructiye metamorphosis OF tissue"
Belonging, as do to branch Of the
profession that believes that no one school
Of medicine knows all the truth regarding
the treatment Of disease, and being inde-
pendent enough to select any remedy that
will relieve my patients, without reference
to the source from whence It comes, am
glad to acknowledge and commend the
merits Of this remedy thus frankly.
