A NEW VIEW OF CONSUMPTION.
And One which Appeals to Common
Sense.-Many Durable Cases.
Medical Stilus.1

"Many persons die of consumption who
could easily be cured" says DR.. s. q
Clark, of Watertown, N. T., 'sif they
would go at it right. have q new view
of the disease. Consumption is not al
ways of lung origin"
"How SO? What is it then?"
"Many stages of consumption are
secondary. The disease itself prevails
everywhere, but the best practitioners re.
fuse to attribute it entirely to inheritance
or the weather. II person lives in the
most favorable climate in the world and
has any tendency to lung weakness, il
certain conditions exist in the system,
that climate, however favorable, will not
prevent development of the disease. The
disorder in such cases is only secondary
symptom in the lungs of some other all
ment and can never be cured until ap-
preached through its source"
"Yes, doctor; but what is the method
of approachw
"If you dip your finger in acid you
burn it; do you not?"
eyes,"
eff 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 peutralized or
utilized and carried ont. Ifthe system
is run down by excuses, anxiety, con-
tinual exposure, or overwork, these acids
accumulate in the blood. 1t there is
any natural weakness in the lung, this
acid attacks it, having natural affinity
for it, and if the acid is not neutralized
or passed out of the system, it burns,
ulcerates and finally destroys the lung.
rs this clear?"
"Perfectlyl 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 kid
neys alone should carry out in quantity,
III solution, enough of this acid daily,
which, if left in the blood, would kill
four men. When the stomach, the liver
and the kidneys are all conspiring to in
crease the acid, the wonder Is that weak
lungs resist death as long as they dor
"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 kid
ney poison in the blood. After having
exhausted all authorized remedies to
correct this acid condition, was COM
PEELED, in justice to my patients, to use
Warmers safe cure; though proprietary
remedy, it is now recognized, 1 see, by
leading physicians, by Presidents of State
Boards of Health and by insurance ply
sicians, as scientific and the only speci-
fic for those great organs In which over
ninety per cent of diseases originate or
are sustained"
IT'S this form Of treatment successful"
"It is wonderfully SO, and for that rea
con am only too willing that you should
announce it to the world Of consump-
tives."
Note by the Pnblishers:-We have re-
ceived the above interview from I'll. Ell.
Warner & Co., Rochester, N. Y, with the
request that we publish it for the good Of
suffering people. In a foot note to their
letter they say:
"The experience of DIR. Clark is not
strange to ue. In our correspondence we
have found that many thousands of peo-
pie are suffering from what they think is
Consumption, whereas the Zeal difficulty
is with the liver and kidneys, proven by
the fact that when these organs are re-
stored to health by the use of Warner s
safe cure, the consumption disappears,
and so does uremic or kidney poisoning,
which causes 80 many symptoms Of dis
eases that the human system is subject
to. The same may be said of rheumatism,
caused by an acid condition 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. DR.. Theodore Wolf,
of Gettysburg, Pa, wife of the editor Of
the Lutheran Quarterly, said her friends
thought her far gone with Consumption,
but after a thorough treatment with
Warmers safe cure, she says: L am per-
fectly WE'LL We can cite thousands of
such cases, but one is enough. II you
publish the above article, kindly send us
a marked copy"
We gladly give place to the article, for
il we can in any way stay the ravages of
Consumption, which carries away so
many millions yearly, it is our bounden
duty so to do.
