Wonderful Facts.

| Wonderful Facts.
! o'odn ~ y, Deuoodi tcdaoriaD, Jan. 80, 1883.
IL was dull day among the "boys" who
sit aroun d the Oil Exchange rooms and watch
the ups and downs of the oil market. Some
OF the Oil members were telling stories of the
days when they sold oil for $li barrel, and
then laughed to think that in these degen-
crate times they were all anxiously looking
for it to strike the dollar mark. "Thinlo Of
! it. boys said one old veteran producer, who,
| V ith varying fortune and poverty, has fol-
| lowed the ups and downs of the oil excitement
! from the days of Pit Hole to tho latest rush to
| Cherry Grove and Forrest county. Think
/ of It, boysl FIVE could go out and sell our
little production to-day for $40 or Sl2 q barrel,
| as in yc Olden times Whcw wouldn't there
be lively times in these neck % woods. And
then think of grubbing along on 20 or so
cent oil 1t makes me sick to think of it.
Sick? well, | should say So" said another
old veteran, raising his eyes from daily
paper ho had been perusug. There's no
more money in the oil business az the present
| prices. l tell YOU boys, let US go into the
patent medicine business Here is n tele-
| gram in this paper which says that II. H.
! Warner " Co., of Rochester, NJ w. have re-
ceivcd unsolicited orders during the past
week for their Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
amounting to 100000 That's the business
| for money"
Yes, and for gouging the public, too p said
the first speaker. "Ill bet a champagne
| supper for the crowd, even with oil at eighty
cents a barrel, that the Democrat reporter
there can go to every drug store in the place,
and interview every man who has ever taken
n bottle of that medicine, and he can't find
one whom 1t has ever benefited"
! The bet was accepted land in order that the
champagne might not be wastcd), the reporter
sailed forth TO settle the matter
Mayor Coon was in his his large drug store
on Union street. when he was accostcd by our
! Faber pushcr Doctor" said the reporter,
| for MIR. Coon is not only mayor of the city,
! president of tho board of education, and n
most highly esteemed citizen generally, but
| is an old, pructiCing physician, " can you give
me any information regarding the Warner
Safe Kidney and Liver Curo?'
well, young man, | can answer your ques-
| tion very easily. | sell more of Warmers Safe
Cure than any other medicine in my store
and what Is more | can give that remedy my
| strongest personal Endorsement as l have
used il with the best results in my own fam
| lily and know of many instances where it has
| performed wonderful work. ] regard 1t as q
| most valuable preparation for diseases of the
kidneys aud liver. ID. Carpenter, II man who
| lives on Ninth street, near the Methodist
| chapel, was afflicted for two years, with kid
ncy troubles, excessive urination, and rhCuma-
tism. | advised him to take Warmers Safe
Cure, and after using three bottles, he was
| completely, y,cured, and is now rs well as over"
| Mayor Coon gave the name of n large num-
| Der of people who had used it, and always
with good results. d. NJ. Blakeslee, the old
est druggist in the city, said: mo remedy
can have such large and continuous sale as is
the case with Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, without having virtue in it. The people
are quick to detect frauds, and poor remedy
will soon go down. Warmers Cure l consider
| ono of the best medicines in uScD
| j. b. Smith reported that he sold more of
| Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure by u
large majority than any other remedy. 81
have used it myself with great benefit, and If
| had time could give you the names of a
| hundred people in this place who have used 1t
and always with beneficial results. l always
strongly recommended it to all suffering with
kidney and liver troubles"
Mr.. w. w. Ball, in his handsome clothing
store in the Pierce block, in reply to questions,
said: :" For moro than two years l was n ter
rible sufferer from diseases of the kidneys, and
have paid out hundreds of dollars to physi-
clans without receiving any permanent bene-
fit. For the past year have been compelled
to lose, on an average, more than q weeks
| time every month because of this trouble as
/ was unable to get TO my store. was in
constant pain, had q poor appetite, could not
sleep, aud suffered rs L never want to again.
/ continued to grow worse, although continu-
ally paying out large doctors bills. Finally
/ commenced taking Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure, with little faith, however in
receiving any benefit. Even after taking the
first three bottles 1 detected but a slight inn
provement, but was bound to give il fair
trial. took three more, when l felt like u
new man. Every symptom of the disease
has vanished, and IL is now several months
since / ceased taking it, and l have not felt
as well in ten years. 1t has made new man
| of me-"
"Do You know of other cases where it has
been used beneicially?"
"Ycs, l have an uncle, f. NJ. Ball, OF
Hickory, Pa, who was given up TO die by
the physicians. He had doctored thousands
of dollars worth, yet without benefit, but he
was finally at the eleventh hour induced to
try Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
and he is now well man. This | know to
be true. Yes, l am perfectly willing my
name shall be referred TO-, for 1 can give it
my cordial Endorsement. / would not take
$1,000 and be placed back where l was before
using this remedy"
DIR. Lambert Whitney has been prac-
ticing physician in Olean for half century
and is known far and near by u wide circle OF
people. He sometime ago retired OH an
ample fortune, but is very frequently called
upon by his old patients, and he rarely refuses
u summons of this kind, although he has
/, turned his 10th year. :" l have used Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure in my family
! Tor some tllnc, ana IL nuS DcCOlne an lnulS
pensable remedy with us. My wife has been
greatly benefited by its use and would not
be without it. | consider it wonderful
preparation for the especial purpose for which
il is recommended"
Our reporter visited at least fifty people in
one afternoon, who had used it, and in every
instance it was strongly recommended, and il
} all cases had proved beneficial. and where
persistently used rs directed had always per
fected n cure. Tho array of evidence wa'
| surely surprising, and the conclusion was in
disputnble that the genuine Warmers Cure
(thore is n host of worthless imitations) is al
and more than it is recommended to bet
sure cure for all kidney and liver troubles, fo
young and old The preiudices that may still
exist in the minds of some against proprietary
medicines should not at least apply to thi
wonderful remedy.
And so the wager was won, and the suppe
was duly celebrated
