BOLD ASSERTIONS.
The Manly Action of Germany's
Greatest Scientist.
It Is Warmly Endorsed by Ringing Edi-
torial in Leading American
Journal
MedIcal Trlhune.

Professor Rudolph Virehow was seriously i'll
several months ago An admirer OF bis, the
owner of certain proprietary medicine took
occasion 10 present him with some bottles OF his
discovery. Virehow recovered. and was certain
that lie had received much benefit from inc REM
edy. He accordingly addressed letter to his
benefactOr, acknowledging The matter ana ex-
pressing his gratitude. The letter, coming as 1t
did from the most distinguished teacher OF
palhoiOgic science in Europe, was published
and widely read. The North German Medical
Association, like similar bodies IN America, has
It's eranks on ethics. They endeav0red 10 call
The prot ssor to account for dSregarding The
code. Nlrchow regarded the instincts Of gen.
tIeniah, ana tbe honor that leads man 10 rev.
DER justice, as paramount 10 the peck-measuTe
ethics OF eonceiied gang OF haIffledged medI-
cal men. lie answered Them with hearty con-
tempt and withdrew from tie association He
chose 10 stand on manliness, and could afford to
DO so. IL was an issue between ethics and a
man, and manhood was asserted.
AT about the same time the editor OF this
Journal wrote letter to a gentleman IN Western
New York regarding the me:lts OF a remedy
known as Warmers Sale Cure. The ciicun.
stances In the case were as follows: We had
frequently been asked by paj hts II We knew
anything about This remedy and were Obliged 10
answer in the negative. We then began 10 make
inquiries about The remedy aud we're surprised
at tile reports we heard regarding IL. We then
recommended 1t in several eases that had re-
sisted all other treatment and The results were
surprising. The albumen rapidly disappeared
from The urine aud The patients felt greatly
improved In health. Feeling satisfied that
tie compound was a valuable one and that IL
could do no possible harm 10 any one we con-
tnued 10 recommend 1t and were surprised At
the good results obtained
After several months fair trial we did not
hesitate 10 iudorse the remedy, believing as we
did That II would prove boon to suffering
humanity. We have no reason TO regret our
action In this particular We recommend a
remedy that has benefited thou> ands OF persons;
we have seen its good effects on our own patients
after all other medicines have failed, and we are
not AFRAID u say 10 The public anu the profes'
sion just what we know Of it.
Medical journals OF all schools OF medicine are
filed with advertisements and editorial puts of
proprietary medicines, many Of which are worth
less. Tie editors know nothing OF their cOmpO-
sltioh or preparation, Dut have an eye 10 the
money they get Tor their advertisements. There
has been no protest against these things. How,
therefore, a certificate based on experiences
such as ours, and without compensation, should
have greater Iurpitude, is a problem beyond
cur capacity. Why one should be fish and
another flesh we are not SagaciOuS enough 10
deter mine We leave II for those who care more
for The rotten corpse Of The old code than for
common fairness and common sense.
Those VINO are eager TO hnd fault Will do so.
They are heartily welcome to their task. To be
sure, blows eau be given as well as taken, eX-
ceUt that some ESCAPE because OF their con
temptibie insignIhcance. We have no 2mmuui-
ton TO waste ON such. This, However, we VIII
say: No man OF common human senslbilty
who has The red blood OF mammal, and not the
pale, snaky fluid OF the lower races, Will have
the heart 10 judge our actions severely or 20 say
that we have done aught but what we have
always claimed 10 he our Gight-to use any rem.
