 The above chapters, MT. Editor, l find in book recently published by an anon ymous author. 1 have read deal of sarcasm in my day but never read any thing equal to the sarcasm herein con- tained. suspect the experience por- trayed is personal one; in short, the au- thor intimates as much on page 3I. Let me give you a synopsis:
 Malavia," as 1t states, is the cloak with which superficial physicians cover up multitude of i'll feelings which they do not understand, and do not care much to investigate. It is also 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 confession of ignorance or of inability. The patient goes abroad. The change is a tonic and for time he feels better. Comes home. Pickle appetite, frequent head aches, severe colds, cramps, sleeplessness, irritability, tired feelings, and general un- fitness for business 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. Articular, in his joints. lnhammatory, my how he fears it will fly to his heart Now of he goes to the springs. The doctor sends him there, of course, to get we'll at the same time he does net really want him to die on his hands,
 That would hurt his business!
 Better for a few days. Returns. Alter while neuralgia trans6xes him. He bloats; cannot breathe; has pneumonia {; cannot walk cannot sleep on his left side Is fretful very nervous and irritable is pale and dabby has frequent chills and levers 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 ignorancef
 Because" said the doctor, l read your fate five years ago. thought best to keep you comfortable and ignorant of the tacts."
 He dismisses his doctor, but too late His fortune has already gone to fees
 But him, what becomes of him.
 The other day VI ell known Wall street banker said to me it is really astonish- ing how general brighrs disease is be- coming. Two of my personal friends are now dying of it. But it is not incurable l am certain, for my nephew was recently cured when his physicians said recovery was impossible. The case seems to me to be wonderful one" This gentleman formerly represented his government 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, Warmers safe cure, was begun. "Yes" said his father, was very skeptical but since taking that remedy the boy is we'll"
 regret to note that ex-President Arthur IS said to be victim of this terrible dis ease. Heoughtto live but the probabili- ties are that since authoriz sd remedies can not cure him, his physicians will not ad. wise him to save his life, as SO many thousands have done, by the use of War ner's safe cure which Gen. Christiansen. at Drexel, Morgan & Co.'s, told me he regarded as wonderful remedy"
 We'll, suspect the hero of the book cured himself by the same means. The internal evidence points very strongly to this conclusion.
 l cannot close my notice of this book better than by quoting his advice to his 1 readers:
 !" If, my friend, you have such an expe- rience as have portrayed, do not put your trust in physicians to the exclusion of other remedial agencies. They have no monopoly over disease and person. ally know that many of them are so very conscientious that they would far pre- fer that their patients should go to heaven direct from their powerless hands 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 oe was, can personal. ly testify?
