The National tribune., 1885-06-18

The above chapters, Mr.. Editor, I find in a
book recently published by an anonymous
author. / have read deal of sarcasm in my
day, but never read anything equal to the
sarcasm herein contained. / suspect the expe-
rience portrayed is personal one; in short,
the author intimates as much on page 81. Let
me give you synopsis:
malaria" as it states, is the cloak with
which superficial physicians cover up multi
tude of ill 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 patient to travel,
or that he has overworked and needs rest and
is probably suffering from malaria, it is a con.
fession of ignorance or of inability. The pa
tient goes abroad The change is tonic and
for time he feels better. Comes home. Fickle
appetite, frequent headaches, severe colds
cramps sleeplessness, irrtability, tired feelings
and general unitness for business arc succeeded
in due time by alarming attacks of rheumatism
which fits about his body regardless of all hu.
man feelings.
1t is muscular,-in his back. Articular.-in
his joints Intlammatory, my how he fears il
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 q
while neuralgia transtxes him. He bloats
cannot breathe; has pneumonia; cannot walk
cannot sleep on his left side; is fretful; very
nervous and irritable; is pale and fabby; has
frequent chills and fevers; everything about
him seems to go wrong; becomes suspicious
musters up strength and demands to know
what is killing him!
Great heaven" he cries. "why have you
kept me so long in ignorance?
Because" said the doctor " l read your fate
five years ago. l thought best to keep you
comfortable and ignorant of the facts"
He dismisses his doctor, but too late! His
fortune has all gone to fees.
But him. what becomes of him?
The other day well known Wall Street
banker said to me. at is really astonishing
how general bright'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 said
recovery was impossible. The case seems tc
me to be wonderful one." This gentleman
formerly represented his Government in a for
eign country. He knows, appreciates and de-
clares the value of that preparation, because his
nephew, who is son Of Danish Vice Consul
Schmidt, was pronounced incurable when the
remedy, Warmers safe cure, was begun
"Yes,' said his father, a. was very skeptical
but since taking that remedy the boy is well. ,
regret to note that ex-Prcsident Arthur il
Safu 10 De d vlCtfu OI Ills teTflDle uiScstSe ht
ought to live, but the probabilities are tha,
since authorized remedies cannot cure him, bis
physicians will not advise him to save his life
as so many thousands have done, by the use o.
Warmers safe cure, which Gen. Christensen
at DrexeI, Morgan s. Co.'S, told me he regarded
"as wonderful remedy"
Well, suspect the hero of the book cured
himself by the same means. The internal evi
| dence points very strongly to this conclusion.
cannot close my notice of this book better
than by quoting his advice to his readers:
"If my friend, you have such an experience
as have portrayed, do not put your trust il
physicians to the exclusion of other remedia
agencies. They have no monopoly over disease
and personally know that many of them art
so very conscientious that they would fal
prefer that their patients should go to HEAVIER
direct from their powerless hands than tba
they should be saved to earth by the use of any
unauthorized means"
And that the authors condemnation is tot
true how many thousands duped, and yet res
cued, as he was, can personally testify?
