The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1885-06-18

The above chapters, Mr.. Editor, / find
in book recently published by an an
| nonymous author. l have read deal
of sarcasm in my day, but never read
| anything equal to the sarcasm herein
contained. L suspect the experience por-
trayed is a personal one; in short the au-
thor intimates as much on page 81. Let
me give you synopsis:
"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
vestlgate. 1t is also cover for such dis
cases 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 tonic and for time he feels better.
Comes home. Fickle appetite, frequent
headaches, severe colds, cramps, sleep
lessness, irritobility, tired feelings, and
general unftness for business are sue
ceeded in due time by alarming attacks
of rheumatism which fits about his
body regardless of all human feelings.
1t is muscular,-ip his back Articu-
lar,-in his joints. Inhammatory, N.Y.
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 few days. Returns. After
a while neuralgia transfxes him. He
bloats; cannot breathe: has pneumonia
cannot walk; cannot sleep on his left side
is fretful; very nervous and irritable; is
pale and tiabby; has frequent chills and
fevers; everything about him seems to
go wrong; becomes suspicious; musters
up strength and demands to know what
is killing hint
"Great heaven" he cries, "Why have
you kept me so long in ignorance?"
Because" said the doctor, Il read
your fate five years ago. thought best
to keep you comfortable and ignorant of
the facts"
He dismissed his doctor, but too late
His fortune Aas al! 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 brights disease
is becoming. Two of my personal friends
are now dying of it. But it is not incur
able | am certain, for my nephew was
recently cured when bis physicians said
recovery was impossible. The case seems
to me to be wonderful one" This gen.
tleman formerly represented his govern
ment in a foreign country. He knows
appreciates and declares the value of that
preparation, because his nephew, who is
son of Danish Vive Consul Schmidt,
was pronounced incurabIe when the rem
edy, Warmers Safe Cure, was begun
Eyes" said his father, 81 was very skep-
tical but since taking that remedy the
boy is WE'LL"
| regret te note that eX-President Ar
thur is said to be a victim of this terrible
disease. He ought to live but the prob
abilities are that since authorized rene
dies can not cure him, his physicians will
not advise him to save bis life, as so
| many thousands have done, by the use
of Warmers safe cure which Gen. Chris
tiansen. at Drexel, 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

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 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 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
too true, how many thousands duped,
and yet rescued, as he was, can person
ally testify?
