New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1885-07-15

ind IN book recently published bv an
anonymous author. | have read deal
OF sarcasm in my day but l never read
anything equal to the sarcasm herein
contained. l suspect the experience
portrayed IS a personal one; in short,
the'author lntimates 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 i'll feelings which they
do not understand, and do not much
care to investigate. 1t is also a cover
tor 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 confession of ignorance
or OF inability. The patient goes a.
broad. The change is a tonic and for
time he feels better. Comes home
Tickle appetite, frequent headaches,
severe colds, cramps, sleeplessness,
irrltability, tired feelings and general
untitness for business are succeeded in
due time by alarming attacks of rheu-
matism which fits about MS BODY re-
CARELESS of all human feelings.
1t is muscular,-in his back. Artj.
cular.-in his joints. Inflammatory.
my! how he fears it will fly to his heart!
Now off 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. Al
ter while neuralgia transfxes him.
He bloats; cannot breathe; has pneu-
monia; 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 de-
mands to know what is killing him!
Great heaven!" he cries, s.whv have
you kept me so long in ignoranceo'
Because, said the doctor, 81 read
your fate five years ago. / thouobt
best to keep you comfortable and ienor-
ant of the facts.
He dismisses his doctor, out too late!
His fortune has all gone to fees.
But him. what becomes of him?
The other day a we'll known Wall
Street banker said to me sit is really
astonishing how general bright's
disease is becoming. Two of nv per-
sonal friends are now dying of it. But
it is not incurable am certain, for nv
nephew was recently cured when his
physicians said recovery was impos
sible. The case seems TO me to be
wonderful one

his government in foreign country.
He knows. appreciates and declares
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. Eyes said his
father, II was very skeptical but since
taking that remedy the boy is well.''
regret to note that ex-President
Arthur is said to be victum of this
terrible disease. He ought to live but
the probabilities are that since autho-
rized remedies can not cure him, his
physicians will not advise him to save
his life. as so MANY thousands have
done, by the use of Warmers safe cure
which Gen. Christensen, at DrexeI.
Morgan & Co.'S, told me he regarded
''as a wonderful remedy
| Well, l suspect the hero of the book
cured himself by the same means. The
internal evidence 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 ex-
perience as have portrayed, do no
put your trusts in physicians to the ex-
clusion of other remedial agencies. Thev
have no monopoly over disease and
personally know that many OF them
are so very conscientious that thew
would far prefer 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 sun-
authorized means
And that the authors condemnation
is too true, how many thousands duped,
and yet rescued, as he was. can person.
