Chan III "OverwOrked; goes 20 EuDOA6.
Chap III. elias Rheumatism; goes to BINS
Chan, ". Has q row with his Doctor
The above chapters, Mr.. Editor, find in a
book recently published by an anonymous
author. I have read deal sarcasm in my
day, but l never read anything equal TO me
sarcasm herein contained. l suspect the
experience portrayed is personal one ; in
short the author intimates as much on page
81. Let me give you a synopsis:
malaria as it states, is the cloak with
which superficial physicians cover up mul
titude of i'll feelings which they do not under
stand, and do not much care to investigate.
1t is also q cover for such diseases as they
cannot cure. When they advise their pa
tient to travel or that he has over
worked and needs rest and is probably SUI
fering from malaria, it is a confession of ig-
norance or of inability. The patient goes
abroad The change is tonic and for a time
he feels better. Comes home. Tickle appe-
tite, frequent headaches, severe colds, cramps,
sleeplessness, irritabillty, tired 1eehnss ana
general unfitness for business are succeeded
in due time by alarming attacks OF rheuma-
tism WI ich fits about his body regardless OF
all human feelings.
1t is mus cular'-in his back. Articular,-
fears it will fly to his heart! Now off he
goes to the springs The doctor sends him
there, of course. to get well: at the same time
he does not really want him to die on his
hands!
That would hurt his business!
Better for few days. Returns. After
while neuralgia transfxes him. He bloass;
cannot breathe; has pneumonia; cannot
walk; cannot sleep on his left side, is fretful;
very nervous and irritable, is pale and flabby;
has frequent chills and fevers; every thing
about him seems to go wrong; becomes sus-
picious; musters up strength and demands 10
know what is killing him!
"Great heaveng' he cries, "why have you
kept me so long in ignorance2'
because said the doctor, II read your
fate five years ago thought best to keep
you comfortable and ignorant of the facts.
He dismisses his doctor, but too lateI
His fortune has all gone to fees.
But him, what becomes of him?
The other day a well known Wall street
banker said to me, cit is really astonish hing
how general Brght's disease is becoming.
Two of my personal friends are now dying
of it. But it is not incurable, am certain,
for my nephew was recently cured when his
physicians seid recovery was impossible.
The case seems TO me to be q wonderful one"
This gentleman formerly represented his gov
eminent in a foreign country. He knows,
appreciates and declares the value of that
preparation, because his nephew, who is
son OF Danish Vice Consul Schmidt, was pro-
nounced incurable. when the remedy, War
ner's safe cure, was begun, YES" sail his
father. II was very skept.caI, but since TAX
ing the remedy, the boy is WELL"
10 uOto GiiatI OK IoSlu0HG Is
said to be victim of this terrible disease.
He ought to live but the probabilities are
that since authorized remedies cannot cure
him. his physicians will not advise him to
save his life, many thousands have
done, by the USE of Warmers safe cure, ,.hch
Gen. Christiabsen, at Drexel, Morgan &
Co.'S, told me he regarded 'as wonderful
remedy"
Well, suspect the hero of the book cured
himself by the same means. The internal
evidence points very strongly to- this conclu-
sion.
cannot close my notice of this book bet
ter than by quoting his advice to his readers:
eff, my FRIEND you have such an expert
ence as I have portrayed, do not put your
trust in physicians to the exclusion of other
remedial agencies. They have no monopoly
over disease and personally know that many
of them are so very Conscientious that they
would far prefer that their patients shouJl go
to heaven direct from their powerless bands
| than that they should be saved to earth by
| the use of any unauthorized means"
And that the authors condemnation is too
| true, how many thousands duped, and yet
| rescued, as he was, can personally testify2
