The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1885-07-11


The above chapters, Mr.. Editor, find In
book recently published by an anony-
nous author. l have read deal of sar-
casm In my day, but l never read any
thing equal to the sarcasm herein con-
tanned. / suspect the experience portrayed
is personal one; in short, the author in
Inmates as much on page 81. Let me give
you q synopsis;
Malaria" as IL 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 inves-
tigate. IL is also a cover sor 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, II is
confession Of ignorance or Of inability.
The patient goes abroad. The change is a
tonic and for n time he feels better Comes
home. Tickle appetite, frequent head
irritability, tired feelings, and general un-
fitness for business are succeeded in due
time by alarming attacks Of rheumatism
which fit about his body regardless of all
human feeling.
1t is muscular,--in his back. Articular,
lin his joints; Infiemmatory, myl how
he fears 1t will fly to his heart! Now of
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 20
die on his hands,
That would hurt his business
Better for a few days. Returns. After
q while neuralgia transfixes him. He
bloats; can not breathe; has pneumonia;
can not walk; can not sleep on his left
side; is fretful; very nervous and irrita-
BILE; is pale and fiabby; has frequent chills
and fevers; everything about him seems
to &c wrong; becomes suspicious; musters
up strength and demands to know what is
killing him!
"Great heaven" no cries, "why have
you kept me so long In ignorancef"
Because" said the doctor, 81 read your
fate five years ago. / thought best TO keep
you comfortable and ignorant of the facts. y
He dismisses the doctor, but too late !
His fortune has all gone TO fees.
But him, what becomes of him'
The other day O well known Wall street
banker said to me "it 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 ply sicians said recovery was impossi-
BILE. The case seems to me 10 be Won
derful one." This gentleman formerly
represented his government in foreign
country. He knows, appreciates and de-
clares the value of that preparation, be-
cause his nephew, who is a son Of Danish
Vice. Consul Schmidt, was pronounced In
durable when the remedy, Warmers safe
cure, was begun. EYES," said his father.
II was very skeptical, but since taking
that remedy the boy is well.o
regret to note that ex-President Ar
thur is said to be victim of this terrible
disease. He ought to live, but the proba-
bilities are that since authorized remedies
can not cure him, his physicians will not
advise him to save his life, as so many
thousands have done, by the use of War
ner's safe cure, which Cen Christensen,
at Drexel Morgan e. Co.'s, told me he re-
garded 'as wonderful remedy"
Well, 1 suspect the hero OF the book
cured himself by the same means. The 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 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
too true, how many thousands duped, and
yet rescued, as he was, can personally tes-
