SHAMEFUL ABUSE

Reaped Upon a Noted Englishman for Hla Open Honesty. | W'm Ed. Robson, M. D.,L. It C. A I, M. K. ! Q. C. P. I, latq of the Royal Navy, of Eng- i laud, has got iuto professional trouble for writing the following open letter to the vditor - of the London Family Doctor. “I believe it to Ke the duly of every physi- j oiaii to make known auy means or remedy j whoreby sickness can be prevented, and it is i for tins purpose 1 write to give my experience j both here and abroad. 1 ask the publication , of the statement, that people may bo warned before it is too late, to say to them that there is at hand a means by winch they may be restored to perfect health. It is well known to the medical world, aud indeed to the laity, that a certain diseaso is making a terrible havoc; that next to consumption it is the most fatal, and that when fully developed there is nothing to be done for the sufferer. “Phys cians and scientists Lave long been trying to throw light upon the cause, and, if possible, hud in nature a medicine for this fatal malady. They have shown, absolutely, that the blood-purify lug organs of vital importance are the kidneys, and-that when they once fail the poison winch they should take out of the blood is ear. iod by illo blood into every part pf the body, developing disease. “In toy hospital practice m England, India and South America, and also while a surgeon in the ltoyal Navy of Groat Britain, I gave a great deal of attention to the study of diseases of the kidneys aud urinary organa, and found., that not only was the cure of clirouic Bright’s Disease hopeless, but that kidney disease was remarkably prevalent; much more so than generally known, and waß the causj of the majority of cases of sickness, aud further, that the medical profession has no remedy which exerts any absolute control over these organs in disease.

“Some time ago, when I had a case which resistod all regular treatment—which is very limited complicated with the passing of stones from toe kidneys, much against my will I permitted my patient to use Warner’s safe cure, of which I had heard marvelous results. In his case the result was simply marvelous, as the attack was a severe one, aud development very grave, for an analysis showed per cent, of albumen and granular tube casts. “The action of the medicine was singular and incomprehensible to me. I have never seen anything like it. The patient recovered promptly, and is to-day a well and healthy man. This stitoulated my inquiry into tho merits of the remedy, and, after analysis, I found it to bo of purely vegetable character, harmless to take under all circumstances. “Casting aside all professional prejudice, I gave it a thorough trial, as I was anxious that my patients should bo restored to health, r.o matter by what medicine. I prescribed it in a great variety of cases, Acute, Chronic, Bright’s iseaso, Congestion of the Kidneys, Catarrh of the Bladder, and in every instance did it speedily offect a cure. “For this reason I deem it my duty to give to the world this statement regarding the value of Warner’s safe cure. I make this statement on facts lam prepared to produce and substantiate. I appeal to physicians of large praotice who know how common and deceptive diseases of the kidneys are, to lay aside professional prejudice, give their pationts Warner’s Base cure, restore them to perfect health, earn their gratitude, and thus bo true physicians. “I am satisfied that moro than one-half of the deaths which occur in England are caused, primarily, by impaired action of the kidneys, a;.d the’consequent retention in tho blood of the poisonous uric and kidney acid. Warner’s safe, care causes the kidneys to expel this poison, checks the escape of albumen, relieves tho inflammation, and prevents illness from impaired and impoverished blood. Having had more than seventeen years’ experience in my profession, I conscientiously and'emphatically state that I have been able to give more relief and effect more cures by the use of Warner’s 'safe cure than by all the other medicines ascertainable to the profession, the majority of which, I am sorry to say, are very uncertain in their action. ”

‘■lsn’t that a straightforward, manly letter?” “Indeed it is.” “Well, but do you know the author has been droadfully persecuted for writing it?” “How so? Whut has he done to merit it?” “Done? He has spoken the truth ‘out of school,’ and his fellow physicians, who want the publio to think they have a monopoly in curing diseases, aro terribly angry with him for admitting professional inability to reach certain disorders. “That letter created a wonderful sensation among the titled classes and tho public. This jarred the doctors terribly. The College of burgeons and Queen’s College, from which institution ho was graduated, asked for an explanation of his unprofessional conduct, and notilied him that unless he made a retraction they would discipline him. “The doctor replied that he allowed his patients to make use of Warner’s safe cure only after all the regular metlTods had failed, and when lie was satisfied that thero was no possible hope for them. Uuon their recovery, after having used Warner's safe cure, he was so nvueh surprised that he wrote the above letter to tho Family Doctor. Ho regretted that the faculties found fault with his action in the matter, but ho could not conscientiously retract tho facts as written to the Family Duedor. f “The faculties of both colleges replied that unless he • retracted they should cut him off, which would naturally debar him f rom again practicing his profession, and also prevent his securing another appointment in the lioyal Navy! “To illustrate: tho doctor’s dilemma is certainly an unpleasant, one, emphasizing, as.it does, both his own honesty, anil the contemptible prejudice and bigotry of English men cal inon. ’1 he masses,however,having ho sympathy with their nonsense, keep on using the remedy he so highly recommends and got well, while the rich and able depend upon tho prejudiced doctors and die!
