Show A REMARKABLE LETTER. A Prominent Professional Man's Extraordinary Extraor-dinary Statement. New York Snn. 10 inc &auor. cmr as my name and face have appeared in your paper and the public-prints public-prints lately, and as many of my professional profes-sional brethren are wondering at it, I feel it only just that I should make an explanation. The statement published over my name was made ten years ago, after long and mature investigation, and I have never changed my mind as to the facts then stated.

I know-it know-it is considered the proper thing for the medical profession to decry proprietary and other advertised articles; but why should they do so? As the late Dr. J. G. Holland, writing over his own name in Seribnei't Monthly, said: "It is a fact that many of the best proprietary proprie-tary medicines of the day are more successful success-ful than many physicians, and most of them w ere first discovered or used in actual medical medi-cal practice; when, however, any person knowing their virtue and forsecine their popularity securcsland advertises them, in the opinion of the bigoted all virtue went out of them."

The evidences of their value are overwhelm- ing. I have seen patients recover from gravel, inflammation of the bladder and Bright's disease after using Warner's Safe Cure, even when all other treatment had failed. I make this frank and outspoken statement state-ment in the interest of humanity and be-cause be-cause I know it to be true. I trust for the same reason you will give it to the public.
