Some Striking Situations Into which
WeI-Informed Persons Are Led.
There is no end Of witchcraft and decep-
ton. Years ago persons suspected of the
''strange infatuationn wero thrown into the
water-If guilty Of witchcraft, they would
drown.
For many years the world was shocked
at such mhumanity of man TO man, but if
we were to declare that people are perse-
cuted today quite as remorselessly as
were the so-called witches of old, our state
ments might be received with great mere
dulity.
But it is "a fact.
If you do not believe it, enter any one Of
the schools of medical practice, and attempt
to use a preparation which the code does
not recognize, or even to recommend indi-
rectly any popular remedy, such for in
stance, as Warmers celebrated kidney rem
edy and then relate your experience.
Then you'll admit the fact.
Let us be frank with you, reader. We
tell you that this is downright bigotry.
Merit demands and is entitled TO recogni-
ton, 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, rot TO take it and realize
on it!
Your friends would call you foolish.
The trouble with the doctors is that they
can't cure advanced diseases Of certain
forms, and they know it. And yet they will
not allow the use of any outside proprietary
medicine, which they know has cured the
disease.

Kidney disease has no marked individual
symptoms. 1t produces all sorts of symp-
toms of the commonest diseases. Not being
able to treat the disease itself with success,
the bigoted physician treats these symp-
toms!
But what good does that doi In order to
stop tho freshet, you must stop the flood!
1t won't do to try brushing it away with Il
broom.
Dr.. j. G. Holland, whom all the world ad-
mired as IA teacher of sense, wrote in Serb.
ner's Monthly: at is a fact that many of
the best proprietary medicines Of the day
arc more successful than many physicians,
and most of them were first discovered and
used in actual medical practice

cure, as indeed do many hundreds of thou
sands all over the world. The late DR.. bio
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, consumption, pneumonia, apo
plcxy, heart disease, general debility, rhel-
matism, all these common disorders are
often only symptoms of kidney disease. In
stead Of admitting their inability to cure
this disorder, doctors give their attention
to the symptoms. II they cure one, another
comes, and finally death takes the case out
OF their hands. Then they disguise the fact
that 1t Is bright's disease of the kidneys and
say hat death anne from paralysis, apo
pleXy, pneumonia, consumption, general de
Oillty, rheumatism, heart disease, blood
poisoning, or somlo other Of the names of
the direct effects of kidney disease. They
are not the real disease itself.
We do not believe every advertiser ent
that we read. Some people may per aps
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 adverse
prejudice.
