Professor Rudolph Virchow was
seriously i'll some months ago. An ad
mirer of his, the owner Of certain
proprietary medicine, took occasion to
present him with some battles of his
discovery. Virchow recovered, aud
was certain that he had received much
benefit from the remedy. He accord
ingly addressed letter to his bene-
factor acknowledging the matter and
expressing his gratitude. The letter,
coming as it did from the most dis
tiuguished teacher of pahologic
science in Europe, was published and
widely read. The North German
Medical Association, like similar
bodies in America, has its cranks on
ethics. They endeavored to call the
professor to account for disregarding
the code. Virchow regarded the in
stincts of gentleman, and the honor
that leads man to render justi3., AS
| paramount to the peck measure ethics
of a conceited gang of half fledged
medical men. He answered them
with hearty contempt, and withdrew
from the association. He chose to
stand on manliness, and could afford
10 do so. 1t was an issue between
ethics and man, and manhood was
asserted
AT about the same time the editor Of
this journal wrote letter to gentle
man in Western New York regarding
the merits of a remedy known as
Warmers Safe Cure. The circum

We bad frequently been asked by
patients if we knew anything about
this remedy, and were obliged to
answer in the negative. We then
began to make inquiries about the
remedy, and were surprised at the
reports we heard regarding it. We
then recommended it in several cases
that had resisted all other treatment,
and the results were surprising. The
albumen rapidly disappeared from the
urine and the patients felt greatly
improved in health. Feeling satisfied
that the compound was valuable
one, and that it could do no possible
harm to any one we continued to
recommend it, aud were surprised at
the good results obtained.
After several months fair trial we
did not hesitate to indorse the remedy,
believing as we did that it would
prove a boon to suffering humanity.
We have no reason to regret our action
in this particular. We recommend u
remedy that has benefited thousands
of persons; we have seen its good
effects on our own patients after all
other medicines have failed, and we
are not afraid to say to the public and
the profession just what we know of
it.
Medical Journals of all schools of
medicine are filled with advertise.
ments and editorial puffs of prOpre-
tary medicine, many of which are
worthless. The editors know nothing
of their composition or preparation,
but have an eye to the money they
get for their advertisements. There
has been no protest against these
things. How, therefore, a certificate
based on experiences such asours, and
without compensation, should have
greater turpitude, is problem beyond
our capacity. Why one should be fish
and another flesh we are not sagacious
enough to determine. We leave il
for those who care more for the rotten
corpse of an old code than for COM
mon fairness and common sense.
Those who are eager to find fault
wi i'll do so. They are heartily welcome
to their task. To be sure blows can be
given as well as taken, except that
some escape because of their contempti'
bic insignificance. We have no am
ulunition to waste on such. This
however, we will say: No man of com
mon human sensibility, who has the
red blood of mammal, and not the
rale, snaky fluid of the lower races
will have the heart TO judge oul
actions severely or to say that we have
done aught but what we have Away
claimed to be our right-to use any
remedy that will benefit our patients
J without reference to the source from
which it comes.
