new view of the disease. Consump
ton is not always of lung origin"
"How so? What is it then?'
"Many cases OF consumption are
secondary. The disease itself pre-
walls everywhere, but the best prac.
titioners refuse to attribute it entirely
to inheritance or the weather. If a
person lives in the most favorable eli
mate in the world and has any ten
dency 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 oil
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

''If you wash this burnt finger every
second with the acid, what is the re

"Why, constant inflammation, fest

tain 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 excuses, anxiety, continual
exposure, or overwork, these acids ac-
cumulatc in the blood. If there is
any natural weakness in the lung, this
acid attacks it, having natural at
fnity for it, and if the acid is not
neutralized or passed out of the sys-
tenn, it burns, ulcerates and finally de-
stroys the lung. Is this clear?"
Perfectly! But how do you pre-
vent the accumulation of these acids
lin the system?"
irregularities of the liver and
kidneys create this excess of acid and
the supply can be cut off only by cor
recting the wrong action of these or
gans. The kidneys alone should car
ry out in quantity, in solution, enough
of this acid daily, which, if LETT 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 long as they dol"
"But you have not told us how you
would treat such cases."
"No, but I will. The lungs are
only diseased as an effect of this acid
or kidney poison in the blood. After
having exhausted all authorized rem.
edies to correct this acid condition. l

NOTE BY THE PUBLIsHERs:-We
have received the above interview
from III. H. Warner & Co., Rochester,
N. Y, with the request that we pub
fish it for the good of suffering peo-
pie. In foot note to the letter they
say:
"The experience of DIR. Clark is
not strange to us. In our correspond
ence we have found that many thous-
ands Of people are suffering from
what they think is Consumption,
whereas the real difficulty is with the
liver and kidneys, 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 uremic or kidney poisoning,
which causes so many symptoms of
diseases that the human system is sub
ject to. The same may be said of
rheumatism, caused by the acid con-
dition of the system. We insist upon
what we always have claimed, if you
remove the cause, the system will
soon perfect the work already begun.
Mrs. Rev. DIR. Theodore Wolf, of Get
tysburg, Pa, wife Of the editor of the
Lutheran QHarhcrly, said her friends
