BLINDED BY PREJUDICE.

Some striking Situations Into Which
wcn-Iniormed Persons Are Led.
There is no end of witchcraft and decep-
tion. Years ago persons suspected of the
'strange infatuation" 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 If
we were to declare that people are perse-
cuted to-day quite as remorselessly as
were the so-called witches of old, our state
ments might be received with great incre-
dulity
But it Is q fact
If you do not believe it, enter any one Of
the schools of medical practice, and attempt
to use 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-
tion, wherever found If geologists 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 its
Your friends would call you foolish.
The trouble with tho 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.
For instance:
Kidney disease has no marked individual
| symptoms. 1t produces all sorts of symp-
| toms of the commOnest diseases. Not being
/ nj, IA IN froa Lo IN wit
the bigoted physician treats these symp-
| tomsl
| But what good does that dol In order to
| stop the freshet you must stop the flood
| 1t won't do to try brushing 1t away with
| broom.
DIR. j. G. Holland, whom all the world ad-
Inired as a teacher Of sense, wrote in Scrib-
| ner's Monthly: sit is u 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 thou
sands all over the world. The late DR.. Dio
| 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
| plexy, heart disease, general debility, rheu-
| matism, all these common disorders are
often only symptoms of kidney disease In
stoad of admitting 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 disguise the fact
that it is brght's disease of the kidneys and
say that death came from paralysis, apo
! plexy, pneumonia, consumption, general de-
bility, rheumatism, heart disease, blood
| poisoning, or some other of the names of
the direct effects Of kidney disease. They
nrc not the real disease itself.
J We do not believe every advertiscm ent
that we read. Some people may per haps
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 il it is long influenced by adverse
prejudice.
