Blinded By Prejudice

There is no end of witchcraft and deception. Years ago persons suspected of the " strange infatuation" were thrown into the water- if guilty of witchcraft, they would drown. For many years the world was shocked at such inhumanity of man to man, but if we were to declare that people are persecuted to-day quite as remorselessly as were theso-called witches of old, our statements might be received with great incredulity. But it is a fact. If you do not believe it, enter any one of the schools of medical praciice1 and attempt to use a preparation which the code does not recognize, or even to recommend indirectly any popular remedy, such for instance as Warner's celebrated kidney remedy, and then relate your experience. Then you'll admit the fact. Let us be frank with you, reader. We teil you that tuis is downright bigotry. Merit demands and is entitled to recognition, wherever found. If geologists teil us that diamonds must always be found in sand, would you not be a fooi, if you found one in gravel, not to take it and " realize " on it? Your friends would cali you foolish. The trouble with the doctors is that they can't cure advanced diseases of certain forms and they know it. And yet they will not allow the use of any outside proprietary medicine, which they know has cured the disease. For instance : Kidney disease has no marked individual symptoms. It produces all sorts of symptoms of the commonest diseases. Not being able to treat the disease itself with successthe bigoted physician treats these symptoms! But what good does that do ? In order to stop the freshet, you must stop theflood! It won't do to try brushing it away with a broom. Dr. j. G. Holland, whom all the world admired as a teacher of sense, wrote in Scribner's Monthly : "Itisa fact that many of the best proprietary medicines of the day are more successful than many physicians, and most of them were flrst disco vered and used in actual medical practice." Dr. Robson of theRoyal Navy of England, enthusiastically endorses Warner's safe cure, as indeed do many hundreds of thousands all over the world. The late Dr. Dio Lewis, who almost never used medicines, commended it highly and said if he had any kidney disease he would use it. This evidence is conclusive. Paralysis, consumption, pneumonía, apoplexy, heart digease, general debiliity, rheumatism, all these common disorders are often only symptoms of kidney disease. Instead of admitting their inability to cure this disorder, doctors give their attention to the symptoms. If they cure one another comes, and finally death takes the case out of their hands. Then they disguise the fact that it is Bright's disease of the kidneys and say that death carne from paralysis, apoplexy, pneumonía, consumption, general debility, rheumatism, heart disease, blood poisoning, or some other of the names of the direct effects of kidney disease. They are not the real disease itself. We do notbelive every advertisement we read. Some people may perhaps regard this article as an advertisement and will not believe it, but we are candid enough to say that we believe the parties above mentioned have proved their case, and under such circumstances the public is unwise if it is long influeticed by adverse prejudice.
