and deception. Years ago persons
suspected of the strange infatua-
ton" were thrown into the water
if guilty of witchcraft, they would
drown.
For many years the world was
shocked at such inhumanity of
man to man, but were we to declare
that people are prosecuted to-day
quite as remorselessly as were the
so called witches of old, our state.
ments might be received with great
incredulity.
But it is fact.
If you do not believe it, enter
any one of the schools of medical
practice and attempt to use prep
aration which the code does not
recogn ze, or even to recon- mend
indirectly any popular remedy,
such for instance, rs Warner'o cele-
brated kidney remtdN, and then
relate your Experience.
Then you'll admit the fact.
Let US be frank with you, readers
We tell you that this is downright
bigotry. Merit demands and is en-
titled 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 it and "realize" on it?
Your friends would call you fool

The trouble with the doctors is
that they can't cure advanced dis
eases of certain forms, and they
know it. And yet they will not
allow the use OF any outside propri-
etary medicine, which they know
has cured the disease.
For instance:
Kidney disease has marked indi-
vidual symptoms. 1t produces all
sorts of symptoms Of the common
est diseases. Not being able to
treat the disease itself with sue
cess, the bigoted physician treats
these sy mptoms.
But what good does that do? In
order to stop the freshet, you must
stop the flood 1t won't do to try
brushing it away with a broom.
DR.. J. G Holland, whom all the
world admired 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 discovered and used in actual
medical practice"
DR.. Robson of the Royal Navy of
England enthusiastically endorses
Warmers safe cure, as indeed do
many hundreds of thousands al
over the world. The late DR.. Dio
Lewis, who almost never used med
icines, commended it highly and
said if he had any kidney disease
he would use it,
The evidence is conclusive.
Paralysis, consumption, pueumo-
MIA, appoplexy, heart disease, gen.
eral debility, rheumatism, all these
common DISC ers are often only
symptoms of idney disease. In
stead of admit ling 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 dis
guise the fact that it is bright's
disease of the kidneys and say that
death came from paralysis, apo
plexy, pneumonia, consumption,
general debility, rheumatism,
heart disease, blood poisoning, or
some other of the names of the dir
ect effects Of kidney disease. They
are not the real disease itself.
We do not believe every adver.
tisement that we read. Some peo-
pie may perhaps regard this artl-
Gle as an advertisement and will
not believe it, but we are candid
enough to say that we believe the
parties above mentioned have prov.
ed their case, and under such cir
cumstances the public is unwise if
