Rochester Democrat and Cllronicle.1
We published in our local columns yes
terday morning significant letter from a
gentleman known personally or by reputa-
ton to nearly every person in the land.
We have received a number of letters pro-
testing against the use Of our columns for
such "palnable frauds and misrepresenta-
tions;" therefore, to confirm beyond q
doubt the authenticity of the letter, and
the genuineness OF its sahtiments, 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 63 or "a years of age aud has an ex-
tremely cordial manner. He presides 60
superintendent over the celebrated SAINT
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,
therefore turned ,,S ever eTo this magnificent
board of trustees, representing the princi-
pal evangelical denominations. Among
the trustees are Bishop A. G. Coke, Prot
estant Episcopal, Buffalo; Bishop Mathew
pal; President. NJ. B. Anderson, of the Unil
versity of Rochester: Rev. DR.. Clark, Secre-
tary of the A. B. F. NJ. Boston. The benevo-
lent purpose OF the institution is the care:
1st-of evangelical missionaries and their
families whose health 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 be unable to secure such care and
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 its utmost
capacity. Here come men and women who

Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter re-
created a good deal of talk, and many of
our readers have questioned its anthem

"To what do.you refer?"" remarked the
doctor.
Shave you not seen the paper?"
Yes, but have not had time to read it
YETI .
The reporter thereupon showed him the
letter, which was follows:
CLIFTON SPRINGS SASTTARIUM CO.,
CLIFTON SPRINGS, n. Y; Oct. II, 1888.
DEAR SIR: | am using Warmers, Safe
Cure, and I regard it as the best remedy
for some forms of kidney disease that we
have. l am watching with great care some
cases l am now treating with it, and Ihope
for favorable results.
wish you ght come down yourself, as
] would like very much to talk with you
about your sterling remedy and show you
over our institution. -.

81 do not see why anybody should be
skeptical concerning that letter, (" remarked
the doctor.
s'Isn't it UNUSUAL for plry stefan of your
standing and influence to commend a pro-
puiebafy preparationp
81 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 that
work we use anything we know to be valu-

it. AS its power is manifested under my
use, so shall l add to the completeness OF
my commendation."
"Have YOU ever analysed it, doctor?"
|, "We always analyze before we try any
preparation of which we do not know the
constituents. But analysis, you know, only
gives the clements; it does not give the all

there may be a thousand remedies made of

WORTHLESS as kidney and liver pre- parations.
~ hope some day to meet Mr.s w arner
personally, and extend fuller congratuIa-
lions to him on the excellence of his pre-
parations. l have heard much of him as
the founder of the Warner Observatory,
and as man of large benevolence. The
reputed high character of the man himself
gave assurance to ms in the first place that
he would not put remedy upon the mar

a source of a good deal Of qualification to
me to find out by actual experiment that

The conclusion reached by Dr.. Foster is
precisely the same found by DR.. Dio Lewis,
DR.. Robert A. Gum, eex-Surgeon-General
Gallagher and others, and proves beyond
doubt, the great efficacy of the remedy
which has awakened so much attention in
the land and rescued so many men, women
and children from disease and death.
