"EVERY WORD TRUE."
SO SAYS THE WRITE R OF THAT FAMOUS LETTER.
< (New York Tribune.) would be difficult to measure the interest aud comiuent, not to say excitement, which tho published letter of Dr R, A, Gunn bus occasioned, The prominence of the doctor and the unusual nature of the letter have both tended to add interest to the subject and make it really the talk of the town.
I called upon Dr. Gunn at his residence, No. 124, West 47th Street, yesterday afternoon. I found the reception room crowded, and it was only after im hour's r waiting that I succeeded in obtaining an interview. Dr. Gunn is a distinguished-looking man, and impressed me at once by bis manly boaring and air of sincerity. I took the seat he courteously offered me, and said: •'Are you aware, doctor, of the comraolion your letter has caused ?" Dr. Gunn smiled, and replied—"Things out of the ordinary usually cause comment. It is not a common thing for physicians to endorse and ..mommend medicines other than those Jfthe ' Materia Medics.' History is full of instances of scientists who have endorsed discoveries they beliovo to be valuable, and hare been denounced for so doing, and yet these same discoveries are blessing the world to-day, I hope 1 have the manhood and courage to be true to my convictions, and that is why I so openly and unhesitatingly endorse Warner's Safe Cure as being tho greatest of modern discoveries for tho cure of diseases which have baffled the highest skill of the medical profession." I was impressed with the earnestness of the dcctor, and saw tbat he meant every word that he said. " How long have you known of thiß remedy, doctor ?" I asked. "Nearly ten years," ho replied. "My attention was originally called to the Safe Cure by a serious case of Bright's disease, which was considered hopeless, and yet, much to my surprise, under its uso the patient recovered, I have tried it in other cases since then constancy, and my original ratti in its power bus been confirmed, I nave seen patients tecover from inflammation of tho bladder, gravel, and Bright's disease when all other treatment had.failed, and I have found it especially efficient in all female troubles."
" Can yon specify any particular cases, doctor?" 1 asked,
"That is a delicate thing to do," the doctor replied, " but, as I always keep a written record of my cases, I can accommodate you." Theroupon the doctor opened bis desk, and produced bis record book. Turning over the loaves, ho said: " Here is a caso of a gentleman who was a great sufferer from inflammation of the bladder of long standing. He had consulted a number ot physicians without beueGt. When first consulted, I myself tried the usual methods of treatment, but without success, and I finally advised him to try Warner's Safe Cure. He felt better from the start, and in a few wHts was entirely cured," *pe doctor turned a few prges further, and then said:
" Here is another case, It is that of a gentleman who had frequent attacks of renal calculi, which, as you know, is gravel forming in the kidney. fie bad nover been ablo to prevent tlieso formations, but after an unusually severeattackl recommended him to try the SafoCuro, which ho did, and, although it is three years since he took the remedy, he has never had an attack since." The doctor continuod to turn the leaves of his book, and suddenly exclaimed ; " Here is a most remarkable case. It is that of a lady who had suffered for some time from Bright's disease. She became enceinte, and about the fourth raontb suddenly becamo blind, bad convulsions, and finally Fell into a state of coma, caused by uremic or kidney poison. Several physicians who saw her said she could not live, and in tbis view I fully concurred, As shrfiiuld still swallow, I said, as a laatffesort, that they might try Warner's Safe Cure. They did so, and, to the surprise of everyone, she recovered, She has since given birth to a living child, and is perfectly well."
"Thoseare certainly most wonderful cases, doctor," I said, "and while I do not for a moment question their autbentity, I should consider a great favour if you would give me their names. I think the importance of (he subject would fully justify it,"
"In-the interest of other sufferors I think you are correct," Dr Gunn finally observed, after a moment's thought. "Both the lady and her bl)9band are so rejoiced, po grateful, over her recovery that I know she is only 100 glad to have others hear of it. The lady is Mrs Eases, tbe wife of tbe wellrknown costumier, She was not only restored, but is in perfect health to-day."
I thanked.the doctorfor his courteous reception, for the valuable information imparted, and I teel assured thdQis generous and humane nature wifiprevent him from feeling other glad at seeing this interview published (or the benefit of suffering humanity.
