BLINDED BY PREJUDICE.
some Striking Situations Into Which Well
Informed Persons Are Led.

/ There Is no end Of witchcraft and de-
eeptioh. Years ago persons suspected of
the strange infatuation" were thrown
into the Water-if guilty of witchcraft,
/ they would drown.
For many years the world was shocked
ab such inhumanlty of man to nan. but
If We were TO declare that people are per
| secuted to-day quite as remorselessly as
we're the so-oa.Ied witches of old, our
statements might oe received with great
incredulity.
Bet It Is a fact.
II You do not believe it, enter any one
OF the schools of medical practice, and
attempt TO use preparation which the
code does not recognize, or even to rec
ommend Indirectly any popular remedy,
such for instance, as Warmers celebrated
kidney remedy, and then relate your ex-
perience.
Then you'u admit the fact.
Lst Us be frank with you reader. We
tell you that this is downright bigotry.
Merit demands and is entitled to recog-
milton wherever found. If biologists tell
US that diamonds must always be found
IN sand, would you not be a fool, if you
found one IN gravel, not to take it and
"realize" on it?
The trouble with the doctors is that
they can't cure advanced diseases of GER
tain forms, and they know it. And vet
they will not allow the use of any outside
proprietary medicine, which they know
has cured the disease.
For Instance:
Kidney disease has no marked individ-
ual symptoms. Il produces all sorts of
symptoms of the commouest diseases.
Not being able TO treat the disease itself
with success, the bigoted physician treats
thess symptoms!
But what good does that do? In order
to stop the freshet, you must stop the
food! 1t won't do to try brushing it
awap with broom.
DR.. j. G. Holland, whom all the world
admired as teacher of sense, wrote in
Scribner's Monthly: at is a fact that
many of the best proprietary medicines
of the day are more successful than
many physicians, and most of them were
frat discovered and used in actual medi-
cal practice"
DR.. Robson of the Royal Navy OF Eng
land enthusiastically endorses Warmers
safe cure, as indeed do many hundreds
Of thousands al over the world. The
late DR.. Dio Lewis, who almost never
used medicines, commended it highly and
SAID if he had any kidney disease he
would use it.
This evidence is conclusive.
Paralysis, consum ption, pneumonia.
apoplexy, heart disease, general debility,
rheumatism, all these common disorders
are often ouly symptoms of kidney dis
ease. Instead Of admitting their inabil-
lily To cure thus disorder, DOCTORS give
their attention 20 the symptoms. If they
cure ore, another comes, and finally
death takes the case cur of their hands.
Then they disguise the fact that it is
bright's disease OF the kidneys and say
that death came from paralysis, apoplexy,
pneumonia, consumptio general debil-
lty, rheumatism, heart disease, blood
poisoning, or sumo other of the names of
the direct effects of kidney disease. They
are not the real disease itself.
We do not believe every advertisement
that we read. Some people may perhaps
regard this article as an advertisement
and will not believe it, but we are candid
enough to say that we believe the parties
above mentioned have proved their case,
and under such circumstances the public
IS unwise if it is long Influenced by ad-
verse pref adice.
