The Story Told in Full and the
Lesson it Teaches Made Plain.
.1t was a doctors mistake. /,

'Tt was Doctors mistake" ~
These words recently appeared in tn
newspaper account of the death OF
brilliant American statesman, VIII,
passed away in the prime Of life. ~.
His malady, with its complicated
symptoms, had long puzzled the physi
clans who attended him. and it was no
until after his death that the true cause
was discovered. The doctors had sus
pected catarrh of the stomach, Hvel
complaint, bladder trouble; they hat
surmised about all other ailments, but
they never once guessed that it was
Bright's disease which was slowly but
surely blotting out the life of thell
patient.
Mistakes have bean the secret OF
many an untimely end in this myster-
ious and treacherous disease. Among
the vast number Of medical remedies
how very few are ever effective in re-
lieving disorders of the liver and kid
neys? A mistake in the use of these
remedies is often liable to cause death,
and doctors, even the best Of them,
are frequently in danger of making a
fatal error
But there are some things in medical
science about which there can be no
mistake and which can be used in the
most critical cases without fear of fa-
tai consequences. That is why so many
broad-minded physicians throughout the
world have united in proclaiming the
merits of at least one American medical
discovery, because they know from ex
perience that 1t Is safe and certain.
Here, for example, are few represen-
tative opinions which show how thor
oughly advanced medical men agree on
this important subject.
The late Dr. Holland, who was an
educated physician, some years before
he died. wrote in Scribner's Monthly:
"It is fact that many of the best
proprietary medicines of the day are
more successful than many physicians,
and most of them have been discovered
or used in actual medical practice.
When, however, any shrewd person,
knowing their virtue and forseeing
their popularity, secures and advertises
them, in the opinion of the bigoted, all
virtue goes out of them"
Dr. William Edward Robson, of the
Royal Navy of England, wrote to a
London newspaper called the Family
Doctor as follows: Having had more
than seventeen years experience in my |
profession, can conscientiously and
emphatically state that l have been |
able to give more relief and effect more |
cures by the use of Warmers Safe Cure |
than by all other medicines ascertain
able to the profession"
The late DIR. Dio Lewis, who seldom |
prescribed any medicine, wrote as fol-
lows: IF 1 found myself the victim of
a serious kidney trouble, should use
Warmers Safe Cure. The testimony Of
hundreds of intelligent and very rep
utable gentlemen hardly leaves room
to doubt that it is one of those happy
which occasionally bring
aid to suffering humanity"
DR.. r. A. Gum, Dean Of the United
States Medical College and editor of
the Medical Tribune, some time since
wrote and published a book in which
he said: 1.-THE ingredients of Warmers
Safe Cure are among the most valda-
BILE medicines of our materia medica,
and the combination is such as to in
sure the best possible action on the
kidneys and urinary organs"
DR.. Andrew Wilson, F. R. s., editor
of Health, in replying through his pa
per to a correspondent who had written
10 him regarding Warmers Safe Cure.
said; Warmers Safe Cure is perfectly
safe and perfectly reliable"
These are physicians so skilled, so in
dependent, so honest, so true to the
teachings of their noble
profession, that ehey idare tell the
ruth to kings or queens of the whole
world All honor to them.
