have read deal of sarcasm in my day,
but never read anything equal to the sar-
casnl contained in the above four chaptered
DOCK. written by some anonymous. l sus-
pect the experience portrayed is personal
one; the author intimates as much on page
~ Let me give you synopsis:
MAlaria, as it states, rs the cloak with
which superficial physicians cover up null
fydgude of i'll feelings which they do not under
k1tand, and do not much care TO investigate.
IL is also cover for such diseases as they
cannot cure. When they advise their patient
TO travel or that he has overworked and needs
rest and Is probably suffering from malaria,
F + IS a confession OF ignorance or OF inabil-
I ity.n
stThe patient goes abroad. The change is
tonic and for a time he feels better. Comes
n home. Tickle appetite, frequent headaches,
severe colds, cramps, sleeplessness, lrrita-
bllity tired feelings, and general unfitness
for business are succeeded in due time by
alarming attacks of rheumatism which fits
+ about his body regardless of all human feel
ings
1t is muscular, lin his back Articular,
---in his joints. Inflammatory, my! how he
fears it win fly to his heartl
Nov off he goes to the springs. The doc
tor sends him there, of course 10 get well at
the same time he does not really want him to
die on his handsl
That would hurt his business
BETTER for few days. Returns. After
while neuralgia transfxes him He bloats;
cannot breathe has pneumonia; cannot walk;
cannot sleep on his left side; is fretfui very
nervous and irritable; is pale and fiabby; has
frequent chills and fevers: everything about
him seems to go wrong; becomes suspicious;
mnsters up courage and demands to know
what is killing him
Great heavensln he cries. "whY have you
kept me so long i'll ignoranceT
Because" said tue doctor, " read your
fate five years ago. | thought best TO keep
you ignorant of the facts"
He disn.sses his doctor but too late! His
fortune has all gone in fees.
But him, what becomes of him
The other day a well known Wall Street
banker said to me: lit is really astonishing
how prevalent blight's disease is becoming.
Two of my personal friends ere now dying OF
it. But it is not incurable, l am certain,
for my nephew was recently cured when lis
physicians said recovery was impossible.
The case seems to me to be a wonderful one"
This gentleman formerly represented his gov
eminent in n fore gu country. He knows,
appreciates and declares the value OF that
preparation because his nephew, who is a son
of Danish Nice-Consul Schmidt, was pro
nounced incurable when the remedy, War
j ner's Safe Cure, was begun Yes said his
father II was very skeptical, but since tax
ing that remedy the hoy is we'll"
l happen to know what it was that cured
the boy, for GenI Christensen, of Drexel,
Morgan 81 Go. 's. told mo that it was that
wonderful remedy, Warmers safe cure
Well, | suspect the hero of the book cured
himself by the same means.
| cannot close my notice better than by
quoting the authors advice:
I" If, my friend, you have such as expert
ence as | have portrayed, do not put your
4 trust in physicians to the exclusion of other
3 remedical ag sncies They have no monop-
& bly, over disease and | personally know that
many of them would far prefer that their
patients should so TO Heaven direct from
their poweress hands than that they should
be saved TO earth by the use of any "un-
authorized means
