IN, Y. SUM-
It would be difficult TO measure the Inc
terest and comment, not 10 sag excitement,
which the published letter Of DR.. R. A.
Gum, which appeared In the papers yester-
day, has occasioned The prominence Of
the doctor and the unusual nature Of the
letter have both tended to add interest to
the subject and make Il really the talk Of
the town.
Icalled upon DR.. Gum at his residence,
No. 124 West FO~rty-seventh street, yester-
aayafternoon. Hound the reception room
cros 81, and it was only after an hours
wait ag that / succeeded in obtaining an
Interview.
Dr.. Gum is q distinguished looking man,
and impressed me ut once by his manly
bearing and air Of sincerity. / took the
seat he courteOusly offered me, and said:
Are you aware, doctor, Of the commo-
tion your letter has causedin
DR.. Gum smiled, and replied: "Things
out OF the ordinary usually comment
It ia not common thing for physicians to
indorsc and cordially recommend medicines
other than those in the Mdteria Medfcd. His
tory is full Of instances Of scientists who
have Endorsed discoveries they believe to
be valuable, and have beer denounced for
so doing, and yet these same discoveries
are blessing the world to-day. / hope l
have the manhood and courage to be true
to my convictions, and that is why l 80
openly and unhesitatingly indorse War
ner's Safe Cure as being the greatest of
modern discoveries for the cure Of diseases
which hava bafled the highest skill Of the
medical professionc.n
/ was impressed with the earnestness Of
the doctor, and saw that he meant every
word that he said.
"How long have you known OF this rem
edy, doctorr / asked.
"Nearly ten years" he replied. "My at
tention was originally called to the Safe
Cure by a serious cese Of Bright's disease,
which was considered hopeless, and yet,
much to my surprise, under its use the
patient recovered. l have tried it in other
cases since then constantly, and my origi-
nal faith in its power has been confirmed.
have seen patients recover from infam-
nation Of the bladder, gravel and Bright's
disease when all other treatmenthad failed,
and ! have found it especially efficient in
all female troubles"
"Can you specify any particular cases,
doctorq" / csked.
'That is q delicate thing to do" the doc
tor replied; 'but, as / always keep o writ
ten record Of my cases, l can accommodate
you"
Thereupon the doctor opened his desk
and produced his record book. Turning
over the leaves he said:
"Here Is a case of q gentleman who was
q great Sufferer from Inflammation of the
bladder Of long standing. He had consult.
ed q number Of physicians without benefs.
When first consulted l myself tried
usual methods of treatment, but without
success, and / finally advised him to try
Warmers Safe Cure. He felt botter from
the start, and in a few week. was entirely
Oured."'
The doctor turned a few pages further,
and then said:
Here is another case. II IL that Of a
gentleman who had frequent attacks of
renal cslcuh, which, as you know, is gravel
forming in the kidneys. He had never
been able to prevent these formations, but
after an unusually severe attack 1 recon-
mended him to try the Safe Cure, which
he did, and, although it is three years since
he took the remedy, he has never had an
attack SINGER
The doctor continued to turn the leaves of
his book, and suddenly exclaimed:
Here is q most remarkable case. It is
that OF a lady who had suffered for some
time from Bright's disease. She became
cnctentcs and about the fourth month sud
denly became blind, had commissions and
finally fell into a state Of coma, caused by
uremiC or kidney poison. Several physi.
clans who saw her said she could not live.
and In this view l fully concurred. AS she
could still swallow / said, as a last resort,
that they might try Warmers Safe Cure.
The did so, and to the surprise of every
