THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY.
Upon a subject OF Vital Interest, Ef
feeding the Welfare Of All.

a Subject OF vital interest, Lie
feeling the Welfare Of All.
The following remarkable latter from ono
OF the leading and best known scientific
writers of the present day is specially signif-
can't. and should be OF unusual value to all
readers who desire to keep paca with the
march of modern discoveries and events:
"a general demand for reformation is one
of the most distinctive characteristics Of the
nineteenth century. The common people, a.
well as the more enlightened and refined, cry
ont with no uncertain voice to be emancipar
ted fr m the slavery OF conservatism and SUI
perstition which has held the masses in gross
ignorance during a large portion OF the
worlds history, and in the time OF the Dark
came near celebrating the last gim-
mer of truth. Dognatio assertions and
blind empiricism are losing caste among
all classes OF all countries People
are beginning to think for them
selves, and to regard authority much less
than argument: Men and women are no
longer willing hat q few individuals should
dictate to them what must be their senti-
ments and opinions. They claim the right to
solve for themselves the great questions Of
the day, and demand that the general good
of humanity shall be respected. As the re-
suit of this general awakening we see, on
every hand, unmistakable evidences Of refor-
matory action. People who, a few years
ago, endured suffering the most intense in
the name of duty, now realize the utter fool
ishness OF such a course. Men who were
under the bondage Of bigoted advisers allowed
their health to depart; suffered their
constitutions to become undermined
of treatment. There are millions OF people
filing untimely raw who might have lived
to q green old age had their original troubles
been taken in time or properly treated. There
are thousands of people to-day t~houshtlessly
enduring the first symptoms OF some serious
malady and without the slightest reallzation
of the danger that is before them. They
nave occasional headaches; a lack of appetite
one day and a ravenous one the next, or
an unaccountable feeling OF WEAKNESS,
sometimes ACCOMPANIED by nausea, n
attribute all these troubles to the Old
idea of a slight cold or malaria. It Is high
time that people awoke to a knowledge OF the
| seriousness of these matters and emancipated
| themselves from the professional bigotry
| which controls them. When this is done and
when all classes of physicians become LIBERAL
enough to exclude all dogmas, save that it is
thei1 duty to cure disease as quickly, and as
safely as possible; to maintain no other posi-
ton than that Of truth honesty ascer: aimed,
and to indorse and r, commend any remedy
that has been found useful, no matter what
its origin, there will lie no moro quarreling
among the doctors, while there will be great
rejoicing throughout the world"
Il am well aware of the censure that will
be melted out to me for writing this letter,
but | feel that | cannot be true to my honest
convictions unless I extend a helping hand
and indorse all that | know to be good. The
extended publications for the past few years,
and graphic descriptions of different disease
of the kidneys and liver have awakened the
medical profession to the fact that these dis
cases are greatly increasing. The treatment
of the doctors has been largely experimental
and many of their patients have died while
they were casting about for a remedy to cure
them"
cit is now over two years since my atten.
ton was first calle1 to the use of a most won
derful preparation in the treatment o.
Dright's disease of the kidneys. Patents hae
frequently asked me about the remedy, an(
/ had heard of remarkable cures effected by
it, but like many others l hesitated to recon
mend it's use. A personal friend Of mine hat
been in poor health for some time, and hi
application for insurance on his life ha'
been rejected on account Of Bright
disease. Chemical and microscopical ex
animation of his urine revealed tn
presence of large quantities of albumen an
granular tube casts, which confirmed tn
correctness of the diagnosis. After tryin
al the usual remedies, l directed him to us
this preparation and was greatly surprise.
to observe a decided Improvement within
month, and within four months no tub
casts could be discovered. At that time ther

fe;t, as he expressed it, perfectly WE'LL an
all through the influence of Warmers SAT
Cure, the remedy he used"
After this prescribed this medicine i
1u1 doses in both acute and chronic nephri
tbs. Bright's diease) and with the most sati
la:t1ry results. Myobservations were neithe
small in number nor hastily made. They e.
tended over several months and embraced
large number of cases which nave proved S
satisfactory to my mind, that | would eal
nestly urge upon my professional brethre
the Importance of giving a fair and patier
trial to Warmers Safe Cure. In a large cla$
of ailments where the blood is obviously i
an unhealthy state, especially where gland,
lar engagements and iu1ammator
eruptions exist, indeed in many of thos
forms of chronic indisposition in which ther
' is TO evidence Of organic mischief, but whel
the general health is depleted, the face sallov
the urine colored, constituting the conditio
IN Which the patient is said to be bilious tt
advantage gained by the use Of this remed
is remarkable. In Brights disease it seen
to act as a solvent of albumen; to soothe an
heal the intiamed membranes; to wash o,
the epithelial debris which blocks up the tut
uli uriniferi, AMI to prevent a destructiy
metamorphoSiS Of tisSue.n
Belonging as do to a branch of the prt
lesson that believes that no one school
medicine knows all the truth regarding tt
treatment of disease, and being ~independer
enough to select any remedy that will reliey
my patients, without reference to the sourt
from whence it comes, l am glad to acknow
edge and commend the merits of this remed
thus frankly.
