The above chapters, Mr. Editor, ]
find in q book recently published by
an anonymous author. I1havc read
9 deal Of sarcasm in my day but
never read anything equal to the
sarcasm herein contained. I sus-
pect the experience portrayed Is q
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 multitude Of illfeelings
which they do not understand. and
do not much care to Investigate. It
is also cover for such diseases as
they cannot cure. When they adj
wise their patient to travel or that
he has overworked and needs rest
and is probably suffering from ma
laria, It is q confession Of ignorance
or or inability. The patient goes
abroad. The change is 9 tonic and
for time he feels better. Comes
home. Tickle eppe.ite, frequent
headaches, severe colds, cramps,
sleeplessnesss, irritability, tired feel
ings, and general unfitness for bus
mess are succeeded In due time by
alarming attacks OF rheumatism
which fits about his body regardless
Of all human feelings.
It is muscular,-in his back. Ar
ticular,-in his joints. Inflamma-
tory, my! how he fears it will fly to
his heart! Now on he goes to the
springs. The doctor sends him
there, Of course, to get we'll: 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 tranfixes
him. He bloats; cannot breathe
pneumonia; cannot walk; cannot
sleep on his left side; fretful; very
nervous and irritable; Is pale and
flabby; has frequent chills and
fevers; everything about him seems
to 90 wrong; becomes suspicious
musters up strength and demands
to know what is killing him!
Great heaven!" he cries, why
have you kept me 80 long In fgno.
rance2"
Because" said the doctor, II read
your fate five years ago. thought
best to keep you comfortable and
ignorant OF the facts"
He dislnisscs his doctor. but toe
late! His fortune has oil gone t.
fees.
But him, what becomes Of him?
The other day q well known Wall
Street banker said to me 1T i

Bright's disease is becoming. Two

I am certain, for my nephew was
recently cured when his physicians
said recovery was impossible. The
case seems to me to be q. wonderful
one" This gentleman formerly rep

ates and declares the value Of thai

who is a son of Danish Vice. Consul
Schmidt, was pronounced incurable
when the remedy, Warmers safe
cure, was begun.

teal but since taking that remedy
the boy is we'll"
Iregret to note that ex-President
Arthur is said to be q victim Of this
terrible disease. He ought to live
but the probabilities are that since
authorized remedies can not cure
him, his physicians will not advise
him to save his life. as 50 many
thousands have done, by the use ol
Warmers safe cure which Gen
christensen, at DIexel Morgan s
Co.'S, told me he regarded "as {
wonderful remedy"
Well, I suspect the hero OF thu
book cured himself by the same
means The internal evidenc,
points very strongly to this conclu
sine.
cannot close my notice OF thi'
book better than by quoting his ad
vice to his readers:
III, my friends, you have such III
experience as have portrayed, d.
not put your trust In physicians t
the exclusion Of other remedia
agencies. They have no monopol.
over disease and I personally kno,
that many Of them are SO very con
scfentious' that they would Tar pre-
Ter that their patients should 90 t

hands than that they should be save
, to earth by the use Of any 'unauthol
izcd means"
i And that the authors condemna
tionis to true, how many thousand
| duped, and yet rescued, as he wa
can personally testify?
