l have read great deal OF sarcasm N
my day, but I never read anything
equal to the sarcasm contained In the
above lour chsptered book, written by
some anonymous. I suspect the ex-
perience portrayed is personal one; the
author intimates as much on page 81.
Let me give you synopsis:
'Malaria," as it states, sis the cloak
with which superficial physicians cover
up multitude of i'll feelings which they
do lot understand, and do not much
care to investigate. 1t is also cover
for such diseases as they cannot cure.
When they advise patient to travel, or
that he has overworked and needs rest
and is probably suffering from malaria,
it is confession Of ignorance or inabil-
ity."
1.-THE patient goes abroad. The
change is tonic and foa time he feels
better. Comes home. Tickle appetite,
frequent headaches, severe colds, cramps,
sleeplessness, inability, tired feelings, and
general unftness for business are sue
ceeded in due time by alarming attacks
of rheumatism which fit about his body
regardless of all human feelings.
"It is muscular in his back. Attic
ular,-iL his joints. Infammatory, my!
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 hands!
That would hurt bis business!
"Better for q few days. Returns.
After awhile neuralgia transixes him.
He bloats; cannot breathe; has pneu-
monia; cannot walk; cannot sleep on his
left side; is fretful; very nervous and IT.
ritsble; is pale and habby; has frequent
chills and fevers. everything about him
seems to go wrong; becomes suspicious;
musters up courage, and demands to
know what is killing himl
"Great heaven!' he cries, "why have
you kept me so long in ignorancew
Because" said the doctor, II read
your fate five years ago. thought it
best to keep you ignorant of the facts"
He dismisses the doctor, but too late!
His fortune has all gone in fees.
But him, what becomes of him?

Street banker said to me: ut is really
astonishing how prevalent bright's dis
ease is becoming" Two of my person.
al friends are now dying of it. But it
is not incurable, I am certain, for my
nephew was recently cured, when his
physicians said recovery was impossible.
The case seems to me to be q wonderful

scented his government in foreign ooun-

Well, I suspect the hero of the book
cured himself by the same means.
I cannot close my letter better than
by quoting the authors advice:
"If my friend, you have such e1-
perience as have portrayed, do not put
your trust in physicians to the exclu.
sion of other remedial agencies. They
have no monopoly over disease and I
personally know that many of them
would prefer that their patients should
