The above chapters. Mr. Editor,
find in book recently published by an
anonymous author. / have read a
deal of sarcasm in my day, but never
read anything equal to the sarcasm
herein contained. | suspect the eX-
perience portrayed is personal one; in
short, tn author intimates as much on
page 81. Let me give you n 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 investigate. 1t is also cover
for such diseases as they caunot cure.
When they advise their patient to travel
or that he is overworked and needs rest
and is probably suffering from malaria,
it is confession of ignorance or of
inability. The patient goes abroad.
The change is tonic and for time he
feels better. Comes home. Tickle APP
petite, frequent headaches, severe
colds, cram rs, sleeplessness, irritability,
tired feelings, and general unfitness for
business are succeeded in due time by
alarming attacks of rheumatism which
fit about his body regardless of all
human feelings.
Il is muscular, - in his back. Articu-
lar,-in his joints. Inhammatory, 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 few days. Returns.
After 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 flabby; has fire.

about him seems to 60 wrong; becomes

demands to know what is killing him!
"Great hesvenh he cries, ''why have
you kept me so long in ignorancep"
Because" said the doctor, II read
your fate five yea ago. thought best
to keep you comfortable and ignorant
of the facts"
He dismissed 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 sit is really
astonishing how general bright's disease
Is becoming. Two of my 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 a
wonderful one." This gentleman for
merly represented his government in a
foreign country. He knows, appre-
ciates 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

skeptical but since tax NO that remedy
the boy is we'll"
Iregret to note that ex-President
Arthur is said to be victim to this ter
rible disease. He ought to live, but the
probabilities are that since authorized
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. Christensen, at DreXel.
Morgan & Co. s., told me he regarded
"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.
cannot close my notice of this book
better than by quoting his advice to his
readers.
eff, my friend, you have such an ex-
perience as / have portrayed, do not
put your trust in physicians to the ex-
clusison of other remedial agencies.
They have no monopoly over disease and
81 personally 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 by the use of any 'unauthor'
led means"
And that the authors condemnation
is too true, how many thousands duped
and yet rescued, as he was, can person
ally testify?
