In look recently published by an
snpny nous author. l have read a deal
Of ~a, casm in my day, but never read
anything equal to the sarcasm herein
contained. l suspect the experience
porr~veI is & personal one; in short,
the a2thur intimates as much on page
81. LIT me give you synopsis.
'Malaria," as it states, is the cloak
with ~h,ch superficial physicians cover
up 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 cannot cure.
When they advise their patient to
travel or that be has overworked and
needs rest and is probably suffering
from malaria, it is confession of ig-
norance or of inability. The patient
goes abroad. The change is tonic
and for time he feels better. Comes
home. Tickle appetite, frequent head
aches, severe colds, cramps, sleepless-
ness, irritability, tired feelings, and

ceeded in due time by alarming attacks
of rheumatism which fits about the
body regardless of all human feelings.
1t is muscular-in his back. Articu-
Iar-in his joints. Infammatory, 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 5loats; 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.
quent chills and fevers, everything
about him seems to go wrong; becomes
suspicious; musters up strength and de-
mands to know what is killing him!
s'Great heavens ~ he cries, "why
have have you kept me so long in ig-
norancep'
because, said she doctor, 81 read
your fate five years ago. l thought
best to keep you comfortable and ig-
norant of the facts"
He dismisses his doctor, but too
late! His fortune has all gone to fees.
But him, what becomes of himp
The other day well known Wall
street banker said to me, sit 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 impossible. The
case seems to me to be wonderful
one." This gentleman formerly repre-
sented his government in a foreign
country. He knows, appreciates and
declares the value of that preparation,
because his nephew, who is son of
Danish Vice Consul Schmidt, was pro-
nounced incurable when the remedy,
Warmers safe cure, was begun. Eyes, !"
said his father, 81 was very skeptical
but since taking that remedy the boy is

Iregret to note that ex-President Ar
thur is said to be victim of this terri
BILE disease. He ought to live but the
probabilities are that since authorized
remedies can not cure him, his physi-
clans 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
G. Co. s, told me he regarded las won
derful remedy"
Well, 1 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:
IF, my friend, you have such an ex-
perience as | 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 to heaven direct from their
powerless hands than that they should
be saved to earth by the use Of any
means"
And that the authors condemnation
s too true, how many thousands duped,
md yet rescued, as he was, can per-
