Here come men and women who were

Il do not see why anybody should bC
skeptcal concerning that letter. re-
marked the doctor.
Isn't it unusual for a physician ol
your standing and influence to com
mend proprietary preparation ?
Il don't know how II may be will
others, but IN this institution we allow
no person to dictate 10 US what we shal
use. Our purpose is to cure the sick
and for that work We use anything we
know TO be valuable. Because know
Warmers Safe Cure ia a very valuable
preparation, cOmmecd it. AS is
power ia manifested under my use, 81
shall add to the completeness of my
commendation.'
Have you ever anallzed it, doctor ?
we always analYze before we try
preparation of which we do not kIo '
the constituents. But analysis, yol
know, only gives the elements it does
not give the all important proportions
The remarkable power Of Warmers
Safe Cure undoubtedly consists in tho
proportions according to which its ele-
ments are Mixed While there may
be a thousand remedies male ol th'
same elements, unless they are pu
together 10 proper proportions. they are
worthless as kidney and liver prepara
tons.
Il hope some day to meet Mr.. War
ner personally. and extend fuller con
oratulations to him on the excellence
of his preparations. l have heard muct
of him as the founder of the Warner
Observatory, and as man oil large
beuevolence. The reputed high charac-
ter of the man himself gave assurance
to me in the fret place that be would
not put a remedy upon the market thai
was not trustworthy; and it was
source Of good deal of qualification to
mo 70 find out by actual experiment
