 | The above chapters, Mir. Editor, l find in book recently published by an anonymous author. have read a deal of sarcasm in my day but l never read anything equal to the sarcasm herein contained. l sus- pect the experience portrayed is a personal one; in short, the author intimates as much on page 3l. Let me give you synopsis
 "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 much care to investigate. It is also cover for such diseases as they cannot cure. When they ad- wise their patient to travel or that he has overworked and needs rest and is probably suffering from mala- lria, it is confession of ignorance or of inability. The patient goes abroad. The change Is tonic and for time he feels better. Comes home. Pickle appetite, frequent headaches, severe colds, cramps, sleeplessness, durability, tired feel. ings, and general unfitness for busi- ness are succeeded Tn due time by alarming attacks of rheumatism which fits about his body regard less of all human feelings.
 It is muscular, in his back. Ar ticular.-in his joints. Infammato. ", 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 pneumonia; cannot walk cannot sleep on his left side; is fretful; very nervous and irritable; IS pale and flabby; has frequent chills and fe- vers; everything about him seems to go wrong; becomes suspicious; musters up strength and demands to know what is killing hm
 "Great Heavenw he cries, "why have you kept me so long in igne- rancew
 'Because,' said the doctor, Il read your fate five years ago. l thought best to keep you comfortable and ignorant of the facts"
 But what becomes of hlm?
 The other day we'll known Wall Street banker said to me Git is real ly astonishing how general bright's disease is becoming. Two of my personal friends are now dying of 1t. But it is not incurable I am certain, for my nephew was recently cured when his physicians said recovery was impossible. The case seems to me to be a wonderful one" This gentleman formerly represented his government in foreign country. He knows, appreciates and declares the value of that preparation, be- cause his nephew, who is son of Danish Vice Consul Schmidt, was pronounced lncurable when the remedy, Warmers safe cure, was be gun. "Yes" said hls father, '.I was very skeptical but since taking that remedy the boy Is we'll"
 Iregret 1 to note that ex President Arthur is said to be victim of this terrible 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 winch Gen. Chrlstiansen, at Drexel & Co.'S, told me he regarded ''as wonderful remedy"
 Well, l suspect the hero of the book cured himself by the same means. The internal evidence points very strongly to this conclusion.
 I cannot close my notice of this book better than by quoting his ad vica tn h,s realers.
 "If, my friend, you have such an experience as 1 have portrayed, do not put your trust in physicians to the exclusion of the other remedial agencies. They have no monopoly over disease and personally knew that many of them are so very con scientious' that they would far pre- fer 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 'unauthor- ized' means"
 And that the authors condemna. tion is too true, how many thousands duped, and yet rescued, as he. was, can personally testify?
