The above chapters, Mr.. Editor,
find in book recently published, by an
anonymous author. Ihaveread deal
OF sarcasm in my day but Inever read
anything equal to the sarcasm herein
contained. | suspect the experience
portrayed is II personal one; III short,
the author intimates as much on page
81. Let me give you a synopsis:
Malaria as it states, is the cloak
with which superficial physicians cover
upa multitude of i'll feelings which they
do not understand, and do not much
care to investigate. 1t is also a 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 confession of ig-
norance or of inability. The patient
goes abroad. The change is a tonic and
for time he feels better. Comes home.
Tickle appetite, frequent headaches,
severe colds, cramps, sleeplessness, ir-
ritability, tired feelings, and general
untitness for business are succeeded III
due time by alarming attacks of rheu-
matism which fits about his body re-
CARELESS of all human feelings.
1t Is muscular,-in his back. Attic
ular,-in his joints. Infammatory,
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 well; at the same time he does
not really want him to die on his
hands!
That would hurt his business!
Better for a few days. Returns. AT
ter a while neuralgia transfixes 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 fire.
quent chills and fevers; everything
about him seems togo wrong; becomes
suspicious; masters 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, 81 read

best to keep you comfortable and ig
norant 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 a well known Wall
Street banker said to me, cit is really
astonishing how general bright's dis
ease is becoming. Two ofmy 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 impossi-
BILE. The case seems to me to be
wonderful one This gentleman for
merly represented his government in
II foreign country. He knows, appre-
ciates and declares the value of that
preparation, because his nephew, who
is a son of Danish Vice Consul Schmidt,
was pronounced incurable when the
remedy, Warmers safe cure, was begun.
"Yes," said his father. II was very
skeptical but since taking that remedy
the boy is we'll"
| regret to note that ex-President
Arthur is said to be a victim of this
terrible disease. He ought to live but
the probabilities are that since auth
oriZed remedies cannot 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. Chris
tiansen at Drexel, Morgan & Co., told
me he regarded, "as wonderful rene
dy."
Well, suppose 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
ceaders:
eff, my friend, you have such an ex-
perience as have portrayed, do not
put your trust in physicians to the ex
clusion OF other remedial agencies.
They have no monopoly over disease
and personally know that many of
them are so very conscientious that
they would far prefer that their pa
tients 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 author condemnation
is too true, how many thousands
luped, and yet rescued, as he was, can
personally testify?
