Curable Cases.
INsdicGI StHus.l
Many persons die Of Consumption who
could easily be cured" says DIR. S. G. Clark, Of
Watertown, n. Y, "if they would go at it right.
/ havea new view Of the disease. Consumption
is not always Of lung origin"
"How so3 What is it, then?"
Many cases of Consumption are secondary.
The disease itself prevails everywhere, but the
best practitioners refuse to attribute it entirely
to inheritance or the weather. If a person
lives in the most favorable climate in the world
and has aoy tendency to lung weakness, if
certain conditions exist in the system, that
climate. however favorable, will not prevent
development of the disease. The disorder in
such cases is only a secondary symptom in the
lungs of some other ailment, and can never be
cured until approached through its source"
Yes, Doctor; but what is the method Of
approach"
If you dip your finger in acid you burn it !;
do you nOt?"
"Yes"
If you wash this burnt finger every second
with the acid, what is the result?"
Why, constant Inflammation fostering and
eventual destruction of the finger"
Precisely! Now then for my method, which
commends itself to the reason and judgment Of
every skillful practitioner. You know certain
acids are developed in the body. Well, if the
system Is all right these acids are neutralized
or utilized and carried out. If the system is
run down by excesses, anxiety, continual ex-
posure or overwork, these acids accumulate in
the blood. If there is any natural weakness
in the lung, this acid attacks it, having a
natural affinity for it, and if the acid is not
neutralized or passed outof the system, it burns,
ulcerates and finally destroys the lung. Is this
clear?"
Perfectly But how do you prevent the
accumulation of these acids in the system?"
Irregularities of the liver and kidneys
create this excess Of acid and the supply can be
cut off only by correcting the wrong action of
these organs. The kidneys alone should carry
out in quantity, in solution, enough of this
acid daily, which, il left in the blood, would
kill four men. When the stomach the liver
and the kidneys are all conspiring to increase
the acid, the wonder is that weak lungs resist
death as leng as they do!"
:" But you have not told US how you would
treat such cases."
"No; but will. The lungs are only diseased
as an effect of this acid or kidney poison in the
blood. After having exhausted all authorized
remedies to correct this acid condition, was
compelled, in justice to my patients, to use
Warmers safe cure: though aproprietary rem
edy, it is now recognized, / see, by leading ply
sicians, by Presidents of State Boards of Health
and by insurance physicians, as "a scientific and
over ninety per cent. of diseases originate or
are sustained"
" Is this form of treatment successful?'
1T is wonderfully so, and for that reason /
am only too willing that you should announce
1t to the world Of consumptives."
Note By the Pt,Jlislers-We have received the
above interview from III. III. Warner & Co.,
Rochester, y. V, with the request that we pub
lish it for the good Of suffering people. In q
foot note to their letter they say:
THE experience of DIR. Clark is not strange
to US. In our correspondence we have found
that many thousands of people are suffering
from what they think is Consumption, whereas
the real difficulty is with the liver and kid
neys, proven by the fact that when these organs
are restored to health by the use of Warmers
safe cure, the consumption disappears, and so
does urenic or kidney poisoning, which causes
so many symptoms Of diseases that the human
system is subject to. The same may be said oI
rheumatism, caused by an acid condition ol
the system. We insist upon what We always
have claimed, If you remove the canse, the sys-
tenn will soon perfect the WOrE already begun
Mrs. Rev. DIR. Theodore Wolf. of Gettysburg
Pa wife Of the editor OF the Lutheran Quarterly
said her friends thought her far gone with
Consumption but after thorough treatment
with Warmers safe cure, she says: am per
