We published in our local columns vester-
day morning o significant letter from q gem
tleman known personally or by reputation 20
nearly every person in the lano. we nave
received a number of letters protesting
against the use of our columns for such pal
pable frauds and misrepresentations;" there
fore, to confirm beyond a doubt the authen-
ITCHY of the letter, and the genulneness OF
It's sentiments, a reporter OF this paper was
commissioned to ascertain 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 CUES
ton, is 63 or 81 years of age and has an ex-
tremely cordial manner He presides as SD
perintendent oyer the celebrated sanitarium
which accommodates over i've hundred
guests and is unquestionably the Leading
health resort Of the country. Several years
ago this benevolent man wisely determined
to be his own executor; and, therefore turned
over this magnificent property, worth $780,
900, as a free gift to a board OF trustees,
representing the principal evangelical de-
nominations. Among the trustees are Bishop
A. G. Coke, Protestant Episcopal, Buffalo;
Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philadelphia,
Methodist EPISCOPAL; President NJ. b. An

DR.. Clark, Secretary of the A B.. c. L. M,
Boston. The benevolent purpose of the in.
stitution is the care 1st-of evangelical
missionaries and their families whose health
has been broken in their work. 2d-of
ministers, of any denomination, in good
standing. 3d-of members of any church
who otherwise would be unable to secure
such care and treatment. The current ex-
penses of the institution are met by the re-
ceipt from the hundreds of distinguished
and wealthy people who every year crowd
it's utmost capacity. Here co9ue men and
women who were once in perfect heath, but
neglected the first symptoms OF disease. The
uncertain pains they felt OF first were over
looked until their health became impaired.
They little realized the danger before them,
nor how alarming even thrilling ailments
might prove. They constitute all classes,
including ministers and bishops, lawyers,
Judges, statesmen, mil i~onaires, journalists,
college professors and officials from all parts
of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter re-
marked: doctor, that letter of yours has
created a good deal of talk, and many of our
readers has questioned it's authenticity"
ITO what do you refer" remarked thedoc-
tor.

eyes, but I have not had time to read it

tical concerning that letter." remarked the
doctor.
sIsn't it unusual for . physician Of your
standing and influence to commend q pro
prietary preparation

In this Institution we allow no person to die
tate to us what we shall use. Dur purpo Q Is
to cure the sick, and for that work we use
anything we know to be valuable. because

BILE preparation, / commend it. AS its power
is manifested under my use, so shall l add to

gives the clements; it does not give the all I'M

of Warmers Safe Cure undoubtedly consists
in the proportions according to which its ee'

proportions they are worthless as kidney ane

Warner Observatory, and as a man of large
benevolence. The reputsd high character Of
the man himself gave assurance to me In the

precisely the same found by Dr.. bio Lewis

has awakened so much attention in the lane
