cause his nephew, who Is a son Of Danish
Vice-Consul Schmidt, was pronounced in

/ regret TO note that ex-President Ar
thur is said 70 be victim Of this terrible
disease. He ought 10 live, but the proba-

can not cure him, his physicians will not
advise him 10 save his life, as so many
thousands have done, by the use OF War
ner's safe cure, which Gen. Christiansen,
at Drexel, Morgan a. Co.'s, told me he re-
garded "as n wonderful remedy"
Well, suspect the hero OF tho book
cured himself by the same means. Tho in
ternal evidence points very strongly to
this conclusion.
can not close my notice Of this book
better than by quoting his advice TO his
readers:
"If, my friend, you have such an expe-
rience as l have portrayed, do not put
your trust in physicians to the exclusion
Of other remedial agencies. They have
no monopoly over disease and personally
know that many Of them are &c very CON
scientious' that they would far prefer that
their patients should 20 to Heaven direct
from their powerless hands than that they
should be saved 10 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 personally tes-
hfy!
