Upon a Subject OF Vital Interest, Eff.
fectins the Welfare of All.
The following remarkable letter from
one ofthe leading and best known scien-
titic writer's of the present day is special.
ly significant, and should be OF unusual
value to all readers who desire to keep
pace with the march of modern diScoy-
cries and events:
"a general demand for information is
n of the most distinctive characteris-
tics ofthe nineteenth century. The COM
non people, as well as the more en-
lightened and refined, cry out with no
uncertain voice to be en%ancipated from
the slavery of conservatism and SUPER
stition which has held the masses in
gross ignoral ce during a large por-
ton of the worlds history, and in the
time of the Dark Ages came
neal obliterating the last glimmer
of truth. Dogmatic assertions and
blind empircism are losing caste among
all classes of all countries. People are be-
ginning to think for themselves, and to
regard authority much less than argu-
ment. Men and women are no longer
willing that a few individuals should die
tate to them what must be their senti-
ments sand opinions. They claim Il G right
to solve for themselves the great ques-
tons ofthe day and demand that the gem
eral good ofhumanitv shall be respected.
AS the result of this general awakening,
we see, oneyery hand, unmistakable evil
dences of reformatory action. Peo-
pie who, a few yearsago, endured suffer-
ing the most intense inthe name otGutv,
now realize the utter foolishness of such
acourse. Men who were under the bond
age of bigoted advisers allowed their
health to depart; suffered their constitu-
tons to become undermined and finally
died as mar. yrs to u false system oftreat-
ment. There are millions of people fill
inguntime!y graves who might have
lived to u green old age had their orig
inal troubles been taken in time or prop
erly treated. There are thousands of peo-
pie to day thought.essly enduring the first
symptoms o; some serious malady and
without the slightest realization of the
danger that is before them. They have
occasional headaches; a lack of appe-
tite one day and 4 ravenous M the next,
or an unaccountable feeling OF weariness,
sometimes accompanied by nausea. and
attribute all these troubles TO the old
idea OF - slight cold or malaria. 1t is
high time that people aweke to ii knowl-
edge of the seriousness of these matters
and ~enlancipated themselves from the
professional bieotry ri ich q itrols them
When this is done and when all class of
physicians become liberal enough to ex-
Guide ali dogmas, save that it lis their duty
to cure disease as quickly, and as safely
as possible; to maintain no other position
than that of truth honestly ascer-
tanned, and to endorse and recommend
any remedy that has been found useful,
no matter what its origin, the re will be
no more quarrellng among the doctors,
throughout the world"
II am well aware of the censure that
will be meted out to me for writing this
letter but / feel that I cannot be true t o
my honest convictions unless / extend y
helping hand and endorse all that L
know to be good. The extended publ
cations for the past few years, n graph
ic descriptions ofdifferent diseases ofthe
kidneys and liver have awakened tho
medical profession to the fact that these
diseases are greatly increasing. The
treatment of the doctors has been large
ly experimental and many OF their pa
tients have died while they were casting
about for a remedy to cure them"
1T is now over two years since my at.
tention was first called to the use of a most
wonderful preparation in the treatment
of Bright's disease Of the kidneys. Pa
tients had frequently asked me about the
remedy and l had heard of remarkable
cures effec ed by it, but like many 9TH
ers l hesitated to recommend its use. A
personal friend of mine had been
in poor health for some time
and his application for insur-
ance on his life had been rejected on
account Of Bright's disease. Chemical
and m~lcroscopical examinations of his
urine revealed the presence of large
quantities of albumen and granular tube
casts, which Confirmed the correctness
ofthe diagnosis. After trying all the
usual remedies, l directed him to use
this preparation and was greatly sur
prised to observe a decided improve
ment within a month, and within four
months no tube casts could be discovered.
AT that time there was pres, Mt only a
trace Of albumen. and he fell, as he ex.
through the influence of Warmers Safe
Cure, the remedy he used"
"After this / prescribed this medicine
In full doses in both acute and chronic
nephritis, [Brlght's diseased and with
the most satisfactory results. My OBJ
servations were neither small in number
nor hastily made. They extended over
several months and embraced a large
lumber of cases which have proved so
satisfactory to my mind that | would
earnestly urge opon my professional
brethren the Importance of giving a fair
and patient trial to Warmers Safe Cure.
In a large class of ailments whore the
blood is obviously in an unhealthy state,
especially where glandulare ngorgements
and inflammatory eruptions exist, indeed
in many of those forms of chronic indis-
position i'll which there is no evidence
ut organic mischief but where the IN
eral health is depleted, the face sallow,
the Urine colored, constituting the con-
ditlon in which the patient is said to be
bilious the advantage gained by the
use OF this remedy is remarkable. In
Brights disease it seems to act as o solv-
ent of albumen, to soothe and heal the
int1amed membranes; to wash out the
epthelial debris which blocks ap the
tubuli uriniferi, and to prevent a destruc-
tive metamorphosis of tissue"
Belonging rs | do to a branch of the
profession that believes that no one
school Of medicine knows all the truth
regarding the treatment of disease, and
being independent enough to select any
remedy that will relieve my patients,
without reference to the source from
whence it comes, l am glad to acknowl-
edge and commend the merits of this
remedy thus frankly.
