BLINDED By PREJUDICE.
Some Striking Situations Into
Which Well Informed Persons
Are Led.

/
There is no end of Witchcraft and dece .
ton. Years ago persons suspected of tn
"strange infatuation'' were thrown into tn
water-if guilty of witchcrah, they woul,
drown.
For many years the world was shocked a
such inhumanity of man to man, but if W,
were to declare that people are prosecuted
to-day quite as remorselessly as were the SO
called witches of old, our statements nigh
be received with great incredulity.
But il is fact.
If you do not believe it, enter any one o
the schools efmedical practice, and attem D
to use preparation which the code doe,
not recognize, or even to recommend ind.-
rectly any popular remedy, snch for in
stance, as Warmers celebrated kidney rem
edy, and then relate your experiences
Then you admit the fact.
Let us be frank with you, reader. We
tell You this is downright bigo.ry. Meri,
demands and is entitled to recognition
wherever found. If biologists tell us that
diamonds must always be found in sand
would you not be fool, if you found one
In gravel, not to take itand "realizeo on itP
Your friends would call you foolish.
The trouble with the doctors is tina they
can't cure advanced diseases of certain
forms. and they know it. And yet they
will not allow the use Of any outside pro-
prietary medicine, which they know has
cured the disease.
For instance:
Kidney disease has no marked individual
symptoms. It produces all sorts of symp-
toms of the commoDest diseases, Not being
able TO treat the disease itself with success
Tie blgoted physician treats these symp-
toms!
But what good does that do? In order To
stop the freshet you must stop the food! II
won't do to try brushing it away with a
broom.
DIR. j. G. Holland, whom all the world
admires as a teacher Of sense, wrote in
Scribner's Monthly: ut is fact that
many of the best proprietary medicines Of
the day are more successful than many
physicians, and most of them were first dis.
covered and used in actual medical prac-
tice.
DIR. Robson of the Royal Navy of Eng
land enthusiastically endorses Warmers
sa fe cure. as indeed do many hundred Of
thousands all over the world. The late DR..
Dio Lewis, who almost never uses medi-
cines, commends it highly and said if be
had any kidney disease he would use it.
This evidence is conclusive.
Paralysis, consumption, pneumonia, apo.
plexy, heart disease. general debility, rheu-
matism, all these common disorders are Of
ten only symptoms of kidney disease. In
stead of ad hitting their inability to cure
this disorder, doctors give their attention to
the symptoms. If they cure one, another
comes, and finally death takes the case out
of their hands. Then they disguise the
fact that IT is bright's disease of the kidneys
and say that death comes from paralysis,
apoplexy. pneumonia, consumption. gener-
al debility, rheumatism, heart disease,
blood poisoning, or some 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 par
ties above mentioned have proven their
case, and under such circumstances the pub
lie is unwise lift is long influenced by ad-
verse prejudice.
