Chap. l.. "Aas Malaria !" goes to Florida
. Chap. III. "Has Rheumatism y goes to Ems
Chap. Nv. Has a row with his Doctor!
The above chapters, Mr.. Editor, I find In .
book recently published by an anonymous
author. have read a deal Of sarcasm In my
day, but I never read anything equal to the
sarcasm herein contained. I suspect the
experience portrayed Is q personal one !; In
short, the author intimates as much on page
81. Let me give you q synopsis: ..
"Malaria" as it states, Is the cloak with
titude Of i'll feelings which they do not under
stand, and do not much care to investigate.
1t is also a 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 q confession OF tg-
norance or of inability. The patient goes
abroad. The change is tonic and for q time
he feels better. Comes home. Tickle appe-
tite. frequent headaches, severe colds, cramps,
slesplessness, irritability, tired feelings, and
In due time By alarming attacks OF rheuma-
tism which fits about his body regardless OF
It is m~uscular?-in his back. Articular,-
in his joints. Inflammatory, myl how he
fears it will fly to his hearth Now of he
goes to the springs. Tho doctor sends him
there, Of course. to get we'll: at tho same time
he does not really want him to die on bis
hands!
That would hurt his businessl
Better for a few days. Returns. After q
while neuralgia transdxes him. He bloats;
cannot breathe; has pneumonia; cannot
walk; cannot sleep on his left side, Is fretful;
very nervous and irritable, Is pale and fiabby;
has frequent chills and fevers; everything
about him seems to 60 wrong; becomes sus-
picious; musters up strength and emands to
know what is killing himl
"Great heavenT' be cries, "why have you
kept me- so long in ~ignorancep
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 htel
His fortune has all gone to fees
But him, what becomes Of himl ,
The other day q well known Wall street
banker said to me, lit is really astonishing
how general Bright's disease Is becoming.
Two Of my personal friends are now dying
of it. But it is not incuraole, I am certain,
for my nephew was recently cured when his
physicians ssid recovery was impossible.
The case seems to me to be a 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" said hi
father, II was very skeptical, but since tax
ing the remedy, the boy is we'll" .
fregret to note that ex President Arthur 1
said to be a victim Of this terrible disease
He ought to live but the probabilities ar
that since authorized remedies cannot cur
him, his physicians will not advise him tx
save his life, as so many thousands hav.
done, by the uss of Warmers safe cure, which
Gen. Christiabsen, at Drexel, Morgan &
Co.'S {, told me he regarded "as a wonderful
remedy"
Well, I suspect the hero Of the book curet
himself by the same means. The in1erna
evidence points very strongly to this conciu
sion.
cannot close my notice Of this book bet
ter thar by quoting his advice to his readers
"If, my friend, you have such an expert
ence as I have portrayed, do not put you
trust in physicians to the exclusion OF othe
remedial agencies. They hayo no monopol.
over disease and personally know that man.
of them are so very 'conscisntiou' that they
, would far prefer that their patients should G
to heaven direct from their powerless hand
than that they should be saved to earth b.
the use of any unauthorized means"
And that the authors condemnation Is to-
true, how many thousands duped, and ye
r rescued, as he was, tan personally testityf
