Journal.

Professor Rudolph Virchow was seri-
ously i'll several months ago. An ad-
mirer OF his, the owner of certain pro-
prietary medicine, took occasion to pre-
sent him with some bottles OF his dis.
covery. Virchow recovered, and was
certain thu. he had received much BEN
fit from the remedy. He accordingly ad-
dressed letter to his benefactor, ae-
knowledging the matter and expressing
his gratitude. The letter, coming as Il
did from the most distinguished teacher
of pathologic science in Europe, was
published and widely read. The North
German Medical Association, like SINH
lar bodies in Americu, has it's cranks ON
ethics. They endeavored to call the pro-
fessor to account for disregarding the
code. Virchow regarded the instincts OF
gentleman, and the honor that leads
man to render justice, as paramount to
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 to do so. 1t was an issue between
eshics and man, and manhood was as
serted.
[ At about the same time the editor Of
this journal wrote letter to gentleman
in Western New York regarding the
merits Of q remedy known as Warmers
Safe Cure. The circumstances in the
case were as follows: We had frequently
been asked by patients il We knew any
thing 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 re-
ports we heard regarding it. We then
recommended it in several cases that
had resisted all other treatment, and
the results were surprising. The albu-
men rapidly disappeared from the urine
and the patients felt greatly improved in
| health. Feeling satisfied that the COM
pound was a valuable one, and that IL
| could do no possible harm TO any one
we contisued to recommend 1t, and were
surprised at the good results obtained.
After several months fair trial we did
4 not hesitate TO indorse the remedy, be-
| lieving as we did that it would prove Q
boon TO suffering humanity. We have
no reason to regret our action in this
| particular. We recommend o 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.
i Medical journals Of all schools OF medi-
cine are filed with advertisements and
editorial putfs Of proprietary medicines,
many Of which are worthless. The edi-
tors 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, certificate
based on experiences such as ours, and
without compensation, should have
greater turpitude, is a problem beyond
our capacity. Why one should he fish
and another flesh we are not sagacious
enough to determine. We leave it for
those who care more for the rotten
corpse Of the old code than for common
fairness and common sense.
Those who are eager to find fault will
do 80. 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 contemplate in
significance. We have no ammunition
to waste on such. This, however, we
will say: No man OF common human
sensibility, who has the red blood of a
mammal and not the pale, snaky fluid
OF the lower races, will have the heart
to Judge our actions severely or TO say
that we have done aught but what we
have always claimed 10 be our right--to
use any remedy that win benefit our pa
tients, without reference to the source
from which it comes.
The above able article from the pen Of
DIR. r. A. Gum, editor Of the Medical Tri-
bune, strongly corroborates the state
ments already made by the doctor in the
public prints regarding the unusual
merits Of the greatest modern medicine.
This preparation, after twelve years Of
unqualified success, has finally received
the commendation and indoreement Of
the leading members OF the medical pro-
fession, bIoth in this country and in
Europe. I)r. Gum in his recently pub
lished interview, gave his unanswerable
reasons for indorsing this great remedy,
and it goes without saying that the most
distinguished teacher OF pathology in the
world to-day would be the last to rec
ommend proprietary article without
having the utmost faith in its curative
power.
