The above chapters, Mr.. Editor,
find in book recently published by an
anonymous author. / have read deal
of sarcasm in my day but never read
anything equal to the sarcasm herein
contained. 1 suspect the experience
portrayed is q personal one; In shert,
the author intimates as much on page

malaria" as it states, is the cloak
with which superficial physicians cover
up multitude of ill feelings which they
do not understand, and do not care
to investigate. 1t Is also a cover for
such diseases as they cannot cure.
When they advise their patient to travel
or that he has over worked and needs rest
and is probably suffering from malaria,
it is confession of ignorance or of ina
bility. The patient goes abroad. The
change is tsnic and for a time he feels
better. Come home. Flckle appetite.
frequent headaches, severe colds,
cramps. sleeplessness, irritability, tired
feelings, and general unfitness for bust
ness are succeeded in due time by
alarming attacks of rheumatism which
fits about his body regardless of all hui
man feelings.

how he fears it will fly to his heartl
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 businessl
Better for a few days. Returns.
After a while neuralgia transfixes him.
He bloats; cannot breathe; has pneu-
monis; cannot walk; cannot sleep on
his left side; is fretful; very nervous
and irritable; is pale and hahby; has
frequent chiIls and fevers; everything
about him seems to go wrong; becomes
suspicious; musters up strength aud de-
msnds to know what is killing himi
"Great heavenr" he cries, ''why have
you kept me SO long in ignorance?"
Because" said the doctor. 81 read

His fortune has all gone to fees.
But him, what becomes Of him?
The other day a well knowE Wall
Street banker said to me at Is really
astonishing how general Bright's dis
ease 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-

wonderful one." This gentlemen for

foreign country. He knows, appreci.
ates and declares the value OF that pre-
paratiOn because his nephew, who is
son of Danish Vice-Consul Schmidt, was
pronounced lncurable when the reme-
dy, Warmers safe cure, was begun.
"Yes" said his father, 'I was very
skeptical but since taking that remedy
the boy is well"
Iregret to note that ex- President Ar

bic disease. He ought to live but the
probabilities are tnat since authorz ID
remedies can not cure him, his physic.

as so many thousands have done. by
the use OF Warmers safe cure which
Gen. Christensen, at DrexeI. Morgan
Il Co. IS, told me he regarded las a
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
better than by quoting his advice to his
readers:
''If, my friend, you have such an ex-
perience as l have portrayed, do not
put your trust in physicians to the ex-
clusIon of other remedial agencies.
They have no monopoly over disease
and l personally know that many of
them are so very conscientious that
they would far prefer that their patients
should go 10 Heaven direct from their
powerless hands than that they should
be saved to earth by the use of an 'un-
means"
And that the authors condemnation
IS too true, now many thousands duped,
aud yet rescued, as be was, can person
ally testify?
