l have read deal of sarcasm in nv
day but never read anything equal to
the sarcasm contained in the above four
chaptered book written by some anony-
nous. i suspect the experience portray
ed Is personal one; the author intimates
as much on page 81. Let me give you q
synopsis:
Malaria as it states, s'is the cloak
With which superficial physicians cover
up multitude of i'll feelings which they
do not understand, and do not much care
to investigate. 1t is also a cover for such
diseases as they cannot cure. When they
advise their patient TO travel or that he
has OyerwOrked and needs rest and is
probably suffering from malaria, it is
confession of ignorance or of inability"
he patient goes abroad. The change
il tonic and for time he feels better.
Comes home. Tickle appetite, frequent
headaches, severe colds, cramps, sleepiess,
ness, irrati0ility, tired feelings, and gen
eral unhtness for business are succeeded
In due time by alarming attacks of rheu-
matism which fits about his body regard
less u hII uuLlau feelings.
1T is muscular,-in his back. Articular,
in 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 his business!
Better for few days. Returns. After
while neuralgia transfxes him. He
I bloats; cannot breathe; has pneumonia;
cannot walk; cannot sleep on his left side,
l. freifu.; vAry nervous and irritable; is
pale and faty; has frequent ch1lls and
fevers; everything about him seems to go
! wrong; becomes suspicious; musters up
courage and demands to know what Is
killing him!
Great heaven he cries, "why hav.
You Kept me so long in ignorance?"
Because" said the doctor, Il read your
! fate five years ago. L thought best 10
| keep you ignorant of the facts"
/ He dismisses his doctor, but too late!
| His fortune has all gone in fees.
| Bat MIN, what becomes of him?
The other day well known Nall Street
| banker said to me sit is really astonish-
| ing how prevalent bright's disease is be-
coming. Two of my personal friends
/ are now dying OF 1t. But 1t Is not In
durable 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 a wonderful one" This gen
/ leman formerly represented his govern
/ ment in a foreign country. He knows,
2pprt Ciates and declares the value of
| hat preparation, because his nephew,
! who is a son of Danish e-Consul
Schmidt, was pronounced jncurable when
! ne remedy, Warmers safe cure, was be
/ gun. Yes" said his father, Il was very
-keptical, but since taking that remedy
the boy is we'll"
l happen to know what it was that
cured the boy, for Genl. Christiansen, of
! DreAG, Morgan j. Co.'s told me that it
was that wonderful remedy Warmers safe
cure.
Wen, l suspect the hero of the book
cured himself by the same means.
cannot close my notice better than by
quoting the authors advice:
~ friend, you have such an exper
ience as Y u.-s ,.,--.---~d, do not put
| your trust i'll physicians to the eA~,a--
of other remedial agencies. They have
10 monopoly over disease and l person
lily know that many of them would far
prefer that their patients should go TO
Heaven direct from their powerless hands
nan that they should be saved to earth
by the use of any unauthorized means"
