Ihave read deal of sarcasm in my day
but I never read anything equal to the sar-
casm contained in the above four chaptered
book, written by some anonymous. sus-
pect the experience portrayed is a personal
one; the author intimates as much on page
81. Let me give you synopsis

which superficial physicians cover up a
multitude of i'll feelings which they do not
understand, and do not much care to in
vestigate. 1t is also cover for such dis
eases as they can not cure. When they ad-
wise their patient to travel or that he has
overworked and needs rest and is probably
suffering from malaria, it is confession Of
ignorance or of inability"
"The patient goes abroad. The change is
tonic and for q time he feels better. Comes
home. Tickle appetite, frequent headaches,
severe colds, cramps, sleeplessness, irrita-
bility, 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
feelings.

in his joints. Inflammatory, myl how he
fears it will fly to his heart!
"Now off he goes to the springs. The
doctor sends him there, of course, to get
well; at the same time he does not really
want him to die on his handsl
That would hurt his businessl

while neuralgia transfxes him. He

ievers; everything about him seems to go
wrong; becomes suspicious musters up
courage and demands to know what Is kill
ing him!
"Great heaven!' he cries, "why have
you kept me so long in ignoranceW
Because" said the doctor, '' L read your
fate five years ago. 1 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 him!
The other day well known Wall Street
banker said to me sit is really astonishing
how prevalent bright's disease is becoming.

his physicians said recovery was impossible.
The case seems to me to be wonderful

sented his government in foreign country.

Well, suspect the hero of the book cured
himself by the same means.
can not close my notice better than by
quoting the authors advice:
eff, my friend, you have such an expert
ence as have portrayed do not put your
trust in physicians to the exclusion of 9th
er remedial agencies. They have no monop-
oily over disease and personally know that
many of them would far prefer that their
patients should 60 to Heaven direct from
their powerless hands than that they should
be saved to earth by the use Of any "un-
authorized means"
