We published IN our local columns
yesterday morning 4 significant letter
from q gentleman known personally
or by reputation 10 nearly every per
son In the land. We have received q
number Of letters protesting against
the use Of our columns for such pal
pable ffnads and mierepresentati ona;n
therefore, 20 confirm beyond g doubt
the authenticity Of the letter, and the
genuineness Of It's sentiments, q re-
porter Of this paper was commissioned
10 ascertain all the possible facts In
the matter. Accordingly be visited
Clifton Springs, saw the author OF the
letter, and with the following result /:
DR.. Henry Foster, the gentleman IN
question, Is 63 or 81 years Of age and
has an extremely cordial manner. he
presides ss superintendent over the
celebrated sanitarium which accom-
mOdates over 500 guesS= and is unques-
tiOnably the leading health resort Of
the country. Several year, ago this
benevolent old man wisely determined |
70 be his own executor and, therefore |
turned over this magnificent property |
worth $50. 600, 20 q free gift to board |
Of truEtees, representing the principal !
evangelical denominations. Among |
the trustees sre Bishop A. G. Coke, |
Protestant Episcopal, Buffalo Bishop |
Mathew simpson, Philadelphia, |
Methodist Episcopal; President IL B. |
Anderson, Of the University Of ROeh- |
ester; Rev. DR.. Clark, Secretary Of |
the A. B. G. +. NJ, Boston. The be- |
nevOleut purpose Of the institution is |
the care: 1st.-Of evangelical mission |
aries and their families whose health |
has been broken ln their work. ID
Of ministers, Of any denomination, In |
good standing. 8d.-Of members Of |
any church; who otherwise would be /
unable 10 secure such care and treat /
ment. The current expenses Of the |
institution are met by the receipt from /
the hundreds Of distinguished and /
wealthy people who every year crowd /
It's utmost capacity, Here come men /
and women who were once In perfect /
health, but neglected the first symp-
toms Of disease. The uncertain pains /
they felt 1t frat were overlooked until /
their health became impaired. They i
little realized the danger before them,
nor how alarming even tFihing all
ments might prove. They constitute /
all classes, including ministers and /
bishops, lawyers, judges, statesmen,
milliOnaires, journalists, college pro-
fessOrs and Oflclsls from all parts Of
the land.
Drawing she morning Democrat /
and Chronicle from his pocket, the re-
porter remarked, doctor, that letter /
Of yOurs has created a good deal OF
talk, and many Of our readers have /
questioned its authenticity"
''TO what do you refer ?' remarked
the doctor.
Have you not seen the paper"
"Yes, but / have not had time TO
read 1t yet"
The reporter thereupon showed him
the letter which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM Co, /
Clifton Springs, N. Y, Oct H., 'sS.
Dear Sir 81 arm using Warmers
Safe Cure, and / regard IL a. the best
remedy for some forms of kidney dis
ease that we have. / am watching /
with great care some cases ] Hm now |
treating with It, and / hope for favor
able results.
wish you might come down your
self as / would like very much 70 talk
with you about your sterling remedy /
and show you over our Institution.
HOurs truly,
HENRY FOSTER, Nj. ID.
"I do not see why anybody should
be skeptical concerning that letter"
remarked the doctor.
isn't Il unusual for physician of
your standing and influence TO COM
mend q proprietary preparation P'
81 dOR't know how Il may be with
others, but in this institution we al
low no person to dictate to Us what we
RhAll uss. Our purpose Is 70 cure the
sick, and for that work we use any
thing we know to be valuable. Be
cause 1 know Warmers Safe Cure Is
very valuable preparation, commend
t. As It's power Is manifested under
my use, so shall / add 10 the complete
ness Of my concentration
Have you ever analiZed Il, doctor"
1--WE always analize before we try
any preparation Of which we do not
know the constituents. But analysis,
you know, only gives the elements
Il does not give the all important pro
portions. The remarkable power of
Warmers Safe Cure undoubtedly con-
sists in the proportions according e.
which its element are mixed" While
there may be q thousand remedies
made Of the same elements, unless
they are put together in proper pro
portions, they are worthless as kidney
snd liver preparations.
az hope some day 10 meet Mr.. War
ner personally, and extend fuller con-
CALCULATIONS to him on the excellence
Of his preparations. I have heard
much Of him as the founder of the
Warner Observatory, and as a man Of
large benevolence. The Teputed high |
character Of the man himself gave as
suFanee 70 me in the first place that he
would not put a remedy upon the
market that was not trustworthy and
Il was 3 source Of a good deal OF graft
fieation to me TO find out by actual ex-
pertinent that the remedy itself sus-
tanned my impressions"
The conclusion reached by DR.
Foster Is precisely the same found by
DR.. Dio Lewis, DIR. Robert A. Gum,
ex-SurgeOn 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 rescued so many men, wO-
men and children from disease and
death.
