The present floods, which are either dew

sPondent very courteously, and in the
course of the conversation said:
/" We are doing a tremendous business
and are far behind in our orders. This Is
the season Of the year when people, no
matter how strong their constitution may
be, feel, more or less, the pain and indis-
position, the headaches, colds, neuralgia,
rheumatism, dull pains, sore thro ats,
coughs-all the col ills that flesh is heir

IS natural, therefore, that we should be very
busy. This is specially true of our Safe

Singular, but I had forgotten that you
do not advertise to cure all diseases from
one bottle, as is done generally by many
other medicine men, but l supposed W arm

tism."
"And so it has been until our remedy
which was especially for rheumatism and
neuralgia, was introduced. We have bcel

Liver Cure, that made wonderful Gu es in
chronic and acute rheumatism, but auring
our investigation, we learned OF remark
able cure at celebrated springs, and put
experts to Investigate and found that the
springs did not contain any valuable prop
critics, but the course of treatment that was
being given there was performing all the
benefit. By carefully combining the active
principles of this remedy with our Safe
Cure, we have produced ourSafe Rheumatic
Cure, and the cures it is effecting are sim.
ply wonderful, aud do not doubt it will
become as popular as our Safe Cure.n
You seem to talk freely in regard to
your remedies and appear to have no SCI
crets, Mir. Warner"
None whatever. The physician with
his hundred calls and one hundred diseases,
Is necessarily compel ed to guess at great
deal. We are enabled to follow up and
perfect, while physicians can only expert

dred disea' es. With the ordinary physi-
clan, the code binds dim down, so that IL
he makes discovery, he is bound to give
it to the other physicians, which, of course,
dlscourages investigation, to a great ex-
| tent. This is why the great discoveries in
medical science of late years have been
made by chemists and scientists aud not
| by physicians, and il in a measure accounts
for the great value of our remedies, also
for the remarkable success OF all those doc

And you find that you are curing as
great number of people as ever beforer'
Yes, far greater number. We never
sold SO much of ouc medicine as now aud
never knew of so many remarkable cures. "
The writer departed after the above in-
terview, but was greatly impressed, not

by the vastness of all he saw. Mr.. Warn

tire length and breadth of the land, and We
doubt not the result they are effecting are
really as wonderful as they are related to be.
