A Wel-Known G~entlenan's Philanthro-
ply and tho CoEmotton Caused by
One of His Letters.
ERochester Democrat ana Chroniclc.l
We published in our local columns yes
gentleman known personally OF by reputa-
ton to nearly every person in the land.
We have received q number of letters pro-
testing against the use Of our columns for
such %".palpable frauds and misrepresenta-
t%ions;" therefore, to confirm beyond q
the ~genuineness of its sentiments, areport-
er OF this paper was commissioned to as
certain all the possible facts in the matter.
Accordingly he visited Clifton Springs,
saw the author Of the letter, and with the
following result:
DR.. Henry Foster, the gentleman in ques-
ton, is GO or GA years of age and has an x
tremely cordial manner. He presides as
superintendent over the celebrated sani-
tarium which accommodates over 500
guests and is unquestionably the leading
health resort of the country. Several
years ago this benevolent man wisely de-
termined to be his own executor, and,
property worth 100000 us a free gift to a
board of trustees, representing the princi-
pal evangelical denominations. Among
the trustees are Bishop A. G. Coke, Prot
estant Episcopal. Buffalo; Bishop Mathew
Simpson, Philadelphia, Methodist Episco-
pal; President N. 3. Anderson. of the Uni
verslty OF Rochester; Rev. DR.. Clark, Secre-
tary ofthe A.B.C.F. NJ. Boston. The benevo.
lent purpose of the institution is the care:
lst-of evangelical missionaries and their
families whose ihealth has been broken in
their work. 2d-of ministers, of any de-
nomination. in good standing; 3d-of
members of any church; who otherwise
would ha nn0h1a tn cppy1rn cr1c1 ~ orI
treatment. The current expenses of the in
%stitution are met by the receipts 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 symptoms of disease. The uncer-
tain pains they feltat first were overlooked
until their health became impaired. They
little realized the danger before them, nor
how alarming even trifling ailments might
prove. They constitute all classes, in
Guiding ministers and bishops, lawyers,
judges, statesmen, millionaires, journal
lists, 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 a good deal of talk, and many of
our readers have questioned it's anthem
ITCHY"
"To what do you referw remarked the
doctor.
SHAVE you not seen the paperw
eyes, but 1 have not had time to read it
yet"
The reporter thereupon showed him the
letter, which was as follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS ~SAN1rAR1UM Co..,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, NY, Oct. II, 1888.
Cure, and l regard it as the best remedy
Tor some forms of kidney disease that we
have. l am watching with great care some
cases / am now treating with it, and Ihope
for favorable results.
I wish you might come down yourself, as
! would like very much to talk with you
about your sterling remedy and show you
over our institution. -.
Yours truly,
[Signed] HENRY FOSTER, M. D.
81 do not see why anybody should be
skeptical concerning thatletter, - REMARKED
the doctor.
"Isn't it unusual for a physician of you
standing and influence to commend a pro
prietary preparationW
~ don't know how it may be with others
but in this institution we allow no person
to dictate to US what we shall use. Our
purpose is to cure the sick, and for tina
work we use anything we know to be valu
able. Because l know Warmers Safe Cure
is a very valuable preparation, l commend
lUs <1S 1CS pO"c1 IN ildA1lCSUCu ulINlCl My
use, so shall I add to the completeness O
my commendation."
"Have you ever analysed it, doctorw
1--WE always analyze before we try any
preparation of which we do not know thu
constituents. But analysis, you know, only
gives the elements; it does not give the al
important proportions. The remarkable
power of Warmers Safe Cure undoubtedly
consists in the proportions according t.
which its elements are mixed. Will
there may be a thousand remedies made O
the same elements, unless they are put to
gether in proper proportions, they. ar
worthless as kidney and liver preparations
personally, and extend fuller congratula
ions to him ON the excellence of his pre-
parations. l have heard much of hin a
the founder of the Warner Observatory
and as a man of large benevolence. Th'
reputed high character of the man himsel
gave ~assuranceto me in the first placetha
he would not put a remedy upon the mar
ket that was not trustworthy; and it wa
q source of a good deal of qualification t
me to find out by actual experiment tina
the remedy itself sustained my impress
sion."
The conclusion reached by DR.. Foster i
precisely the same found by DR.. Dio Lewis
Gallagher and others, and proves beyon'
adoubt, the great efficacy of the remed,
which has awakened so much attention il
the land and rescued so many men, wome'
and children from disease and death.
