“ALL NATIONS WITNESSES.”

The Wonderful Mistakes of Scientists and Educators. ‘Prove all things” seems to be the guiding maxim of Uie peopm of this age. Tius would bo ad right, were it not for the “know-axis* in every community, who are sure that every introducer of a new idea is a “crank,* and that every new invention is “utterly impracticable. * The astonishing fact is that in this class educated men and scientists are found. lu the days of George Stephanson, thi per lector of the locomotive engine, the scientists proved conclusively that a railway tra.n could never be driven by steam power successfully without peril; but the rushing express trains all over tne world show how mistaken they were. There went up a guffaw of lauguter at Professor Morse’s proposition to maae the lightning of heaven his errand boy, and it was proved conclusively that the thing could never be done; but now all the news of the wide world by Associated Press, put in your hands every morning and night, has made all nations witnesses. Rev. Dr. Talmage in one of his sermons says: If ten men should come to you when you are sick with appalling sickness, and say they had the same sickness and took a certain medicine, and it cured them, you would probably take it Now, suppose ten other men should come up and say, “We don’t believe there is anything in that medicine.” “Well,* I say, “have you tried if?” “No, I never tried it; but I don’t believe there is anything in it” Of course you discredit their testimony. The skeptic may come and say, “There is no power in your religion.” “Have you ever tried it?” “No, no.” “Then avaunt!” Let me take the testimony of the millions of souls that have been converted to God, and comforted in trial, and solaced in the last hour. We will taae their testimony as they cry “We are witnesses!” The proprietors of Warner’s safe cure have received over 10,000 voluntary testimonials to the efficacy of that medicine. These have come from almost every civilized country, and they may fairly claim it has made a'il nations witnesses. The evidence comes from all classes. The highest medical authorities, like Dr. Robson, late surgeon in the English navy, and Dr. Wilson, editor of “Health,” of London, Eng.; and clergymen of the highest reputation, like Rev. Dr. Rankin, ex-chaplain of the U. 8. Senate, and Dr. Kendrick, of the Rochester University, one of the international revisers of the New Testament, are among the published witnesses. Hundreds of these testimonials have been and are being published. They fan be easily verified. A standing offer of $5,000 for proof that any one of them is not true, so far as the proprietorsknow, is a fair guarantee of their genuineness. If a man is suffering from any one of the ailments, of which there are so many, growing out of kidney derangement, is it not more than foolish for him to refuse to try "Warner’s safe cure when thousands testify they have been cured by it? Think of it! The men who refuse to believe that anything can be valuable because it is in conflict with old ideas and methods are the men who “get left” in this world and go before their time to try another.
