The above chapter, Mr.. Editor, I find
IN Il book recently published by an an
onymous author. have read a deal Of
sarcasm ia my day but / never read
anything equal to the sarcasm herein
, contained. l suspect the experiences
portrayed is a personal one; in short.
the author intimates as much on PAGE
81. Let me give You a synopsis:
Malaria" as it states, is the cloak
with which superficial ply sicians cover
up a multitude of illfeelings which they
do not understand, and do not much
cSre to lnvestigats. Ii is also q cover
Tor such diseases as they cannot cure
When they advise their patient TO travel
or that he has everworksd and nee Il
rest and is probably suffering from
maiarls, it is confession OF ignorance
erof inability. The patient goes abroad
The change Is tonic and for time he
feels better. Comes home. Tickle an
petite, frequent headaches, severe colds
cramps, sieeplessness, irritability, tired
feelings, and general uuftness for busi.
ness are succeeded in due time hy
alarming attacks of rheumatism which
fits about this body regardless Of all
human feelings.

lar-ia his joints. Inflammatorv. nv
how he fears il will fly to his heat,
Now off he goes to the springs. The
doctor sends him there, of course, t.
get well; ut the same time he does not
want him to die ON his hands,
That would hurt his businesSI
Better for few days. Returns. Af-
ter awhile neuralgia transfixes him. He
bloats: cannet breathe; has pneumonia,
cannot walk: cannot sleep on his left
side; is fretful; very nervous and irri-
table; is pale and fiabby; has frequent
chills and fevers; every thing about him
seems TO go wrong; becomes suspicious;
mustsrs up strength and demands u
kr ow what is killing him!
"Great heavenr' he cries, "why have
you kept me so long i'll ignorance?'
Because" said the doctor, II read
your fate five years ago. l thought
best to keep you comfortable and ignor-
ant of the facts"
He dismisses his doctor, but too lat,
His fortune has all gone to fees.
But him. what becomes of him?

Street banker said to me "it is really
astonishing how general bright,s dis
ease is becoming. Two of my personal
friends are now dying of it. But it is
rot incurable l am certain, for my nep-
hew was recently cured when his ply
sicians said recovery was impossible.
The case seems to me to be wonder
full ons." This gentleman formerly
represented his government in 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.
nouced incurable when the remedy.
Warner's safe cure, was begun. YES"
said his father, - was very skeptical but
since taking that remedy the boy is

l regret to note that cx-President
Arthur is said to be a victim OF this
terrible disease. He ought to live but
the probabilities are that since author.
lZed 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 Warmers safe cure
which Gen. Christensen, at Drexel,
Morgan s. 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
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-
.erience as have portrayed, do not put
your trust in physicians to the exclusion
of other remedial agencies. They have
10 monopoly over disease and person
ally 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 unauthorized
means."
And that the authors condemnation
is too true, how many thousands duped
and yet rescued, as he was, can person.
