Ihave read n deal Of sarcasm in my day
but never read anything equal to the sar-
casm contained in the above four chaptered
book, written by some anonymous. Isus-
pect the experience portrayed is personal
one; the author intimates as much on page
81. Let me give you synopsis:
"Malaria" rs it states, lis the cloak with
which superficial physicians cover up q
multitude of i'll feelings which they do not
understand, and do not much care TO in
vcstigate. I: is also cover for such dis
eases as they can not cure. When they I'D
wise their patient to travel or that he has
overworked and needs rest and is probably
suffering from malaria, it IS u confession Of
ignorance or Of inability
"Thc patient goes abroad. The change is
tonic and for a time he feels better. Comes
home. Tickle appetite, frequent headaches,
severe colds, cramps, sleeplessness, irrltar
bility, tired feelings, and general unfitness
for business are succeeded in duo time by
alarming attacks Of rheumatism which fits
about his body regardless Of all human
feelings.

snow of no goes 10 the springs. The
doctor sends him there, Of course. to get
well; at the same time he does not really
want him 10 die on his hands!
That would hurt his business!
"Bc,ter for a few days. Returns. After
q while neuralgia transfixcs him. He
bloats; can not breathe; mas pneumonia;
can not walk; can not sleep on his left side;
is fretful; very nervous and irritable; is
pale and fabby; has frequent chiils and
fevers; everything about him seems to go
wrong; becomes suspicious; musters up
courage and demands 10 know what is kill
ing him. 50
"Grcat heaven" he cries, I" why have
you kept me SO long in ignorance."

fate five years ago. thought best to keep
you ignorant OF the facts
He dismisses his doctor, but too late HIS
fortune has all gone in fees.
But him, what becomes Of hint

how prevalent bright's disease Is becoming.

G1r my nephew was recently cured when
E.s physicians said recovery was impossible.
TIE case seems to me to be y wonderful
cze.' 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 q son OF Danish Vice-Consul
Schmidt, was pronounced incurable when
the remedy, Warmers safe cure, was begun.
"Yes," said his father. II was very skep-
teal. but since taking that remedy the boy

the boy, for Genl. Christensen, Of Drexel,
Morgan 4 Co.'S. told me that IL was that
wonderful remedy Warmers safe cure
Well, suspect the he Of the book cured
himself by the same means.
] can not close my notice better than by
eIoting the authors advice:
.xS my friend. you have such an expert
encc as have portrayed, do not put your
trust in physicians TO the exclusion OF 9th
err remedial agencies. They have no monop-
oily over disease and personally know that
many Of them would far prefer that their
patients should go to Heaven direct from
their Y,owerless hands than that they should
be saved to earth by the uso OF any sun
authorized means" ..,. -
