The above chapters Mr.. Editor, find in
book recently published by an anony-
NOUS author | have read a deal of sar-
casm in my day, but | never read anything
equal to the sarcasm herein contained.
suspect the experience portrayed is a per-
as much on page 81. Let me give you a
synopsis
6 Malaria, as it states, is the cloak with
which superficial physicians cover up a
multitude of i'll feelings which they do not
understand, and do not much care to in
vcStigate. 1t is also cover for such dis
eases as they cannot cure. When they adj
wise their patient to travel, or that he has
oveTworked 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 lie feels better. Comes home.
Tickle appetite frequent headaches, severe
colds, cramps, sleeplessnesS, Hrltablllty,
tired feelings, and general un1ltneSs for
business are succeeded in due time by
alarming attacks Of rheumatism, which
fits about his body regardless of all human
feelings.
It is muscu!ar-in his back. Articular-
in his Joints. Infammatory, N.Y. how
he fears it viii 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. After a
while NEURALGIA transfixes him. He bloats;
cannot breathe; has pneumonia; cannot
walk; cannot sleep on his left side; is fret
full very nervous and irritable is pale and
fiabby; has frequent chills and fevers (;
everything about him seems to go wrong
becomes suspicious; mustefs up strength
and demands to know what is killing him
Great heaven he cries; why have
you kept me 50 long in ignorance ?"
" Because" said the doctor " read your
You comfortable and in ignorance 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 well-known Wall-slreet
banker said to me: " 1t is really astOnish
ing how general bright's disease is becom-
ing. Two of my personal friends are now
dying of ii. But it is not incurable, / am
certain. for my nephew was recently cured,
when his physicians said recovery was inn
possible. The case seems to me to be a
wonderful one" This gentleman formerly
represented his Government III a foreign
country. He knows, appreciates and de-
clares the value Of that preparation, be-
cause his nephew, who is son of Danish
Nice-Consul Schmidt was pronounced in
durable when the remedy, Warmers safe
cure, was begun. Yes, said the father,
81 was very skephcal, but since taking that
remedy the boy is we'll
| regret TO note that ex-Presideut Arthur
is said to be victim of this terrible dis
ease He ought 10 live, but the probabili
ties are that since authorized remedies can
not cure him, his physicians will not adj
wise him 10 save his life, as so many thou
sands have done, by the use of Warmers
safe cure. which Gen. Christensen, at
DFeZel, Morgan d Co.'S, told me he re-
garded "as wonderful remedy"
Well, | 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 bet
ter than by quoting his advice to his read
ers:
II, my friend, you have such an expert
ence as l have portrayed do not put your
trust i'll physicians to the exclusion of
other remedial agencies. They have no
over disease, and l personally
know that many of them are so very con
scientiouS that they 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
unauthorized means"
And that the authors condemnation is
true, how many thousands duped, and yet
rescued, as he was, can personally testify?
