Some Striking Situations Into which
WeII-Informed Persons Are Led.
There is no end Of witchcraft and decep-
ton. 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 10 man, but Il
we were to declare that people are perse-
cuted today quite as remorselessly IS
were the so-called witches Of old, our stste-
ments might be received with great .Lcrs-
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, not 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 viii
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
able to treat the disease itself with success,
the bigoted physician treats these symp-
tomsl
But what good does that dol In order to
stop the freshet, you must stop the food
1t won't do to try brushing it away with
broom.
DIR. j. g. Holland, whom all the world ad-
mired as teacher of sense, wrote in Scrib-
ner's Monthly: ut is a 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
DIR. 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 DIR. 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
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. THIN they disguise the fact
that it is bright'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
are not the real disease itself
We do not believe every advertiser ent
that we read. Some people may per haps
regard this article as an advertisement ana
will not believe it, but we are candit
enough to say that we believe the parties
above mentioned have proved their case
and under such circumstances the publl
is unwise il it is long influenced by advers
prejudice.
