Professor Rudolph NuWhow was serl.

his gratitude. The letter, coming as il
did from the most distinguished teacher
of patholugic science in Europe, was
published aud widely read. The North

answered them with hearty contempt,
and withdrew from the association. He
chose to stand ON munliness, and could
afford to do So. IL was an issue between
eshics and man, aud manhood was AS
serted.
At about the same time the editor OF
this journal wrote Il letter to n gentleman
in Western New York regarding the
merits of n remedy known as Warmers
Safe Cure. The circumstances in the
case were rs follows: We had frequently
been asked 10y patients il We knew any
thing about this remedy. and were
obliged 10 answer in the negative. We
then began to make inquiries about tho
remedy, aud were surprised at the re-
ports We heard regarding il. 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 lelt greatly improved in
health. Feeling satisfied that the COM
pound was valuable one, and that il
could do no possible harm to any one
we continued TO recommend IL, and were
surprised at the good results obtained.
After several months fair trial we did
not hesitate To indorse the remedy, be-
lieving 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 "A 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 IL.
Medical journals Of all schools of medi-
cine are filled with advertisements and
editorial puiIs OF proprietary medicines,
many of which are worthless. The edi-
tors know nothing OF their composition
or preparation, hut have an eye to the
money they get for their advertisements
There has been no protest against these
things. How, therefore, IL certificate
based on experiences such as ours, and
without compensation, should have
greater turptude, 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 cannon sense.
Those who are eager 10 find fault will
do so. They are heartily welcome to
their task. TO be sure blows can be
given as we'll 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
sensibiity, 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 to be our right-to
use any remedy that will benefit our pa
tients, without reference to the source
from which it comes.
The above able article from the pen OF
DIR. K. A. Gum, editor OF the Medical Tri-
b,tne, 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 Endorsement of
the leading members Of the medical pro-
fession, both in this country and in
Europe. Dr. 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 it's curative
power.
