The nation has been Mortified at the burn
ing OF II Milwaukee hotel, whereby over sew
enty lives we're lost. This event carried ter
ror because it was sud6el and appalling; but
had the same disastrous results to life and
limb come silently they would have been un-
noticed, not only by the people of the land
but also by the very community In which
they occurred. Fatal events of far worse
nature have taken place in this very city, but
they have attracted no attention, nor would
they now did not the Bureau of Vital Status
tics bring them to our notice. Figures do
not lie," whatever else may be uncertain, and
the report on the deaths of this city Is a start
ling comment on its life. During the past
year the enormous increase of certain mala-
dies is simply appalling. While tho total num-
Der of deaths has dlminisl |, end the death
rate on most diseases has decreased, still 1t Is
far greater in one or two more serious disor-
ders than WI ever known before. More peo-
pie died in the city of New York In 1852
from Prights disease of the kidneys, than
from diphtheria, smallpox and typhoid fever
all combined This scarcely seems possible,
but il ia true, and when il is remembered that
less than one-third the actual deaths from
Brights disease are really reported as such,
the ravages of the malaGy can be partially
understood.
The immediate query which every reader
will make upon such n revelation of facts,
is: What causes this increase? This is diff
fcult question TO answer. The nature of the
climate, the habits of life. the adulteration
of foods and liquors, all undoubtedly con-
tribute; but no immediate cause can be cer-
tanly assigned. Often before the victim
knows it the disease has begun. Its ap-
proaches are so stealthy and its symptoms
so obscure that they cannot be definitely
fore seen, and are only known by their ef-

is the first stage of Brights disease. But it
is seldom that kidney disorders can be de-
tected. They do not have any certain symp-
toms. Mysterious WEAKNESS; an unusual
appetite; periodical headaches; occasional
nausea; uncertain pains; loss of vigor; lack
of nerve power; irregularity of the heart;
disordered daily habits; imperfect digestion
all these and many other symptoms are
the indications of kidney disorder, even
though there may be no pain in the region
of the kidneys or in that portion of the body.
The serious nature of these troubles may be
understood from the fact that Bright's dis
ease is as certain TO follow diseased kidneys
as decomposition follows death.
II is high time the Doctors in this land
who have been unable to control kidney
troubles, should be aroused and compelled
TO find some remedy, or acknowledge one
already found. The suffering public needs
help nd cannot await the tardy action of
any hair-splitting code of incorrect y formu-
lated theories. If the medical world has no
certain remedy for this terrible disease let
them acknowledge itand seek for one outside
the pale of their profession. For the discov-
cry of this remedy and for its application to
this disease, the people of this city, the peo-
pie of the whole land, not only those who are
suffering but those who have friends in dam
ger, are earnestly and longingly looking.
The above quotation from the New York
Tribune is causing considerable commotion,
rs il seems TO lift the cover from subject
that has become of national importance.
The alarming increase of kidney diseases;
their insidious beginnings and fnyhtfuI
endings, and the acknowledged inability of
physicians to successfully cope with them,
may well awaken the greatest dread of every
one who has the slightest symptoms.
1t is fortunate, however,, that the
surest relief is often found where,
possibly, least expected, and that there is
specific for the evils above described we have
come TO fully believe. Within the past two
years we have frequently seen statements of
parties claiming 10 have been cured of seri-
GUS kidney troubles even after hope had been
EDduuOuSAs Dub AL SOA4lLlSd WAbAI lnOSI ptO-
pie we have discredited them. Quite recently,
however, o number of prominent and well
known men have come out voluntarily and
stated over their signatures that they were
completely cured by the use of Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure. Most people have
been aware that this medicine has an unusual
standing and one emitting it TO be classed
above proprietary articles generally; but tnat
it had accomplished so much in checking
the ravages of kidney disease is not so ger
orally known. Its great worth has been
shown not only by the cures it has effected,
but also because q number of base limitations
have appeared in the market, fraudulently
claiming the valuable qualities of the orig
inal Safe Cure. II it were not valuable it
would not be initiated.
The above may seem Ike an ultra indorse-
ment of popular remedy, but it is not one
whit stronger than the facts admit. What
ever assists the world toward health and con-
sequent happiness, should receive the hearty
Endorsement of the press and all friends OF
humanity. 1t is on precisely this principle
that the foregoing statement is made, and it
merits the careful consideration of every
thinking reader.
