HIS own EXECUTOR.


ply and the Commotion Caused b.
One OF His Letters.
[Roeheaer Democrat and Chrontcls]
| Wepublished In our local columns yes-
terday morning significant letter from .
gentleman known personally or by reputa-
ton to nearly every person in the land.
1 We have received q number Of letters pro-
testing against the use Of our columns for
such "palpable frauds and misrepresenta-
tionsT therefore, to CONFIRM beyond =
doubt the authenticity of the letter, and
the genuineness of its sentiments, areport.
or 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:
DIR. Henry Foster, the gentleman in ques-
ton. Is 6S or "a years of age and has an ex-
temely cordial manner. He presides az
superintendent over the celebrated sani-
tar1um 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 over this magnificent
property worth 100000 as a free gift to q
board OF trustees, representing the princi-
pal evangelical denominations. Among
the trustees are Bishop A. C. Coke, Prot
estant Episcopal, Buffalo; Bishop Mathew
Simpson, Philadelphia, Methodist Episco-
pal; President NJ. B. Anderson, Of the Uni.
versity of Rochester; Rev. DIR. Clark. Score.
tary OIL the AsB.C.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
were once In perfect health, but neglected
the first symptoms Of disease. The uncer-
tain pains they feltat first were overlooked
until their health became impaired. They
little realized tho danger before them, nor
how alarming even tr,fiing ailments might
prove. They constitute all classes, in
GLIDING ministers and bishops, lawyers,
Judges, statesmen, millionaires, journal
lists, college professors and officials from
all parts Of the land.

II do not see why anybody should be
skeptical concerning that letter, remarked
''Isn'tit unusual for . physician Of your
standing and influence to commend pro-
prietary preparationw
II don't know how it may be with others,
but in this Institution We allow no person
to dictate 70 rs what we shall use. Our
purpose is torcure the sick, and for that
work We use anything we know to be valu-
able. Because know Warmers Safe Cure
Is very valuable preparation, / commend
Il. As its power is manifested under my

SHAVE you ever analysed it, doctorfss
We always ana1yze before we try any
preparation Of which we do not know the
constituents. But analysis, you know, only
gives the elements; it does not give the all
important proportions. The remarkable
power. OF Warmers Safe Cure undoubtedly I
consists in the proportions according to
which ftB elements are mixed. While
there may be thousand remedies made Of
the same elements, unless they are put To-
gether In proper proportions, they are
worthless as kidney and liver preparations.
II hope some day to meet Mr.. Warner
personally, and extend fuller congratula-
tions to him on the excellence of his pre-
paratfons. ] 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 assursnceto me in the first place that
be would not put . remedy upon the mar.
ket that was not Trustworthy; and Il wns
q source of . good deal of qualification to
me to find out by actual experiment that
the remedy itself sustained my impress

Theconclusion reached by DR.. Foster is
precisely the same found by DR.. Dio Lewis,
DR.. Robert A. Gum, ex-Surgeon-General
Gallagher cad cthersy 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.
