have read a deal of sarcasm in my
day but 1 never read anything equal
10 the sarcasm contained in the above
four Chaptered book, written by some
anonymous. / suspect the experience
portrayed is a eIsonal one; the author
intimates as much on page 81. Let
NE give you a synopsis:
"Malarla" as it states, sis the cloak
with which superficial physicians
cover up a multitude of Ill feelings
which they do not understand, and do
not much care TO investigate. 1t 3
also "A cover for such diseases as they
cannot cure. When they advise their
patient TO travel or that he has over
worked and needs rest and IS probably
suffering from malaria, ii IL a confession
Of ignorance or Of inability"
"rhe patient goes abroad. The
change Is "A tonic and for time he
petite, frequent headaches, server
colds, cramps, sleeplessness, IT ita-
biity, tired feelings, and generaldun-
fitness for business are succeeded IN
due time by alarming attacks Of
rheumatism which fits about his body
regardless Of all human feelings.

He dismIssss his doctor, but too late!
His fortune has all gone IN fees.
But him, what becomes OF himp
The other day well known Wall
Street banker said TO me ''it Is really
astonishing how prevalent bright's
disease Is becoming. Two OF my per-
souaI friends are now dying of IL. But
10 Is not iucurable l am certain, for
my nephew was recently cured when
his physicians said recovery was i'm
possible. The case seems to me to be q
wonderful one" This gentleman for
merly represented his government in
foreign country. He knows, apprecis-
tes and declares the value of that pre-
paratiOn. because his nephew, who Is a
son Of Danish Vice-COnsul Schmidt,
was pronounced incurabIe when the
remedy. Warmers safe cure, was
begun. "Yes, - said his father, "I was
very skeptical, but since taking that
remedy the boy is WELL"
/ happen 10 know what it was that
cured the boy, FOR Genl. Christensen,
of DrexeI, Morgan ~ Co.'S, told me
that it WAS that wonderful remedy
Warmers safe cure
Wei, I suspect the hero of the book
cured himself by the same means.
l cannot close my motto better than
10y quoting the author ~ .sdvice:
If my friend, YOU have such an ex-
perience as l have portrayed, do not
put your trust IN physicians TO the ex-
ClusiOn OF other remedial agencies.
They have no monopoly over disease
and personally know that many OF
them would far prefer that patients
should 20 To Heaven direct from their
uowei less hands than that they should
be saved to earth by the use of any
''u- authorized meaus.'
