What "Babaoriber" M'uald Like to Know. We have recently reci.-ivid a letter from one of our wellktiown subscribers upon a subject which we prefer to publish for Ihe perusal of our reader", anticipaticg that m so doing tome one will relieve as of Ihe responsibility cf answering â- â€¢ Subscriber's " iiuestions. Here is the lelter : " My Dear Editor. â€" For several years past I have been the recipient of several pamphlets issued from time to time by .vlessrs. U. H. Warner .V Co., of Kocheater, N-Y , which, in addition "o containiug an exiensive treatise upon kidney disease, its origin, usual syoiptoms and growth, also includesnumerous testimotials from parties whose (ac simile signatures are attached ihereto. alleBtiiig the statement that they bave been individually relieved by the use of Warner's Safe Care, which ia prepared by the abrve tirm. for the use of perse ns so »t!!icled. Now, Mr. F.ditor. I would like to know if the statemeiits made by Ih w parties who testify to the great good whicn Warner's Safe Cure has done them, can be relied upon. They seem honest enoagb from the way they read. •â-  Warr.tr'a Safe Cure saved my life after the doctors haa giv.rn me up," saya J'jhn L'oh-.riy, I'i.i N. Main street. Concord. N. U- • I wasgiven up to die with Brunt s liisease of the kidneys. The doctors said they cuald do uothir g for me. A friend advised me to take Warner's Safe Cure, and ii.y family consider mo as given back from i;,.' grave,'' savs Mrs. Carri-.- A. Frv. of Watceua, Kas. Dr. L. B. Hice, of Hanover C. H., Ya. says that Warner's Safe Cuic cured himof Brighl's Disease. Il strikes me that there ia a good deal o{ sense in the claim which those parties make that the doctors are treating too many jierBons for wrong causes, and that oftentimes people are treated for con- sumption, brain, heart aud nervous dis- orders when they are euienng from kid- ney disease which should be treated, as they say, by the use of Harner's SafcCare, and as a resnlt. when diseasa is lirsi re- moved therefrom, that which is supposeei lo be disease in the lungs or other organs will diaappear. Many of my ue:4hcor9 Jell me that this remedy has done much good for themâ€" more good th.in their doctors. If kidney disease is the rral cause cf eo many other diseases why, Mr. Editor, dod't the people who are aflicted with sickness insist upon a more careful imjairy being made, in order that the true cause may be ascertained, aud the prr^per treat- rae-ut given .'" â- ' Si :â-  -.i.innt."
