Professor Rudolph Virchow was seriously i'll
several mouths ago. An admirer of his, the own
or Of q certain proprietary medicine, took oc-
casion to present him with some bottles of his
discovery. Virchow recovered, and was certain
that he had received much benefit from the REM
edy. He accordingly addressed a letter to his
bene factor. acknowledging the matter and ex-
pressing his gratitude. The letter. coming as 1t
did from the most distinguished teacher of path
ologlc science in Europe, was published and
widely read. The Mort German Medical Asso-
citation, like similar bodies In America, has It's
crank on ethics. They endeavored to call the
professor to account for disregarding the code.
virchow regarded the instincts of a gentleman,
and the honor that leads q man to render justice,
as paramount to the p~eck-neasure ethics OF q
conceited gang of half f1sdged medical men. He
answered them with hearty contempt. and with
drew from the association. He chose to stand on
manliness, and could afford 10 do SO. 1t was an
issue between ethics and a man, and manhood
was asserted.
at about the same time the editor Of this jour-
nal wrote a letter To q gentleman in Western New
York regarding the merits of a remedy known
as Warmers Safe Cure. The circumstances in
the case were as follows: We had frequently been
asked by patients il 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 re-
ports we heard regarding it. We then recon-
mended it In several cases that 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 a valu-
able one, and that 1t could do no possible harm
to any one, we continued to recommend IT, and
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 hui
manity. 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 medicines had failed. and we are not
afraid to say to the public and the profession
Just what we know of 1t.
Medical Journals of all schools of medicine are
filled with advertisement and editorial puffs or
proprietary medicines, many of which are worth
less. The editors know nothing Of their COM
position 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
UGH as ours, and without compensation, sh ould
have greater turpitude, Is a problem beyond our
capacity. Why one hould be fish and another
flesh we are not sagacious enough to determine.
We leave it for those whe care more for the rot
ten corpse of the old code than for common fair
ness and common sense.
Those who are eagerto find fault will 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 contemplate
insignidcance. 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 q mammal and not the pale. snaky
fluid Of the lower races, will have the heart to
Judge our actions severly or to say that we have
done aught but what WI have always claimed
to be our right-to use any remedy That Will
benefit our patients, without reference to the
source from which it comes.
The above able article from the pen Of DR.. r.
A. Gum, editor of the Medical Tribune, strong
ly corroborates the already made by
the doctor in the public prints regarding the I'M
usual merits of The greatest modern medicine.
This preparation. after twelve years of unquali-
fed success, has finally received the commenda-
ton and Endorsement Of the leading members of
the medical profession, both In this country and
In Europe. Dr.. Gum in his recently publ shed
