Tho Shadow Hanging Over New York
City and the Entire Country
A Tribune Opinion.

A Tribune Opinion.
s Tho nation has been Mortified at the burn-
Ing OF Milwaukee hotel, whereby over seven
ty lives were lost. This event carried terror
because it was sudden and appalling; but mad
the same disastrous results to life and limb
come silently they would have been unno-
ticed, not only by the people of the land but
also by the very community IN which they oc-
CURED. Fatal events of a 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 Statistics
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 startling
comment on its Ire. During the past year
simply appalling. While the total number Of
deaths fas diminished and the death rate on
most diseases has decreased still it is far
greater in one or two serious disorders than
the city of New York in 1882 from Brghts
disease OF the kidneys, tban from diphtheria,
sn lpox and typhoid fever all com ineIl
This scarcely seems possible but 1T is true and
when it Is remembered that less than one
third the actual deaths from Bright's diseese
are really reported IS such, the rayages of the
malady can be partially understood.
The immediate query which every reader
will make upon such revel tion OF facts is:
What causes this increased This is a diff
cult question to answer. The nature OF the
climate. the habits of ii e, the adulteration Of
foods and liquors, all undoubtedly contribute;
but no immediate cause can be ce tainly as
signed. Often before the victim knows it the
disease has begun. Its approaches are SO
stealthy and its symptoms so obscure that
they cannot be definitely foreseen and are only
known by their effects. Any kidney disorder,
however ight, is the first stage OF Bright's
disease. Eut it Is seldom that kidney sor-
ders can be detected. They do not have any
certain symptoms. Mysterious WEAKNESS; an
unusual appetite; periodical headaches; oc-
vigor; lack of nerve power; irregularity of
the heart; disordered daily habits: imperfect
digestion-all these and many other symp-
toms are the Indications Of kidney disorder
even though there may be no pan in the
region Of the kidneys or in that portion of the
body. The serious nature Of these troubles
msy be unders God from the fact that Bright's
disease is rs certain to follow diseased kidneys
as decomposition follows death. 1850
1t 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 AID can not
await the tardy action of any hair-splitting
code or incorrectly formulated theories. If
the medical world has no certain remedy for
this terrible disease let them acknowledge it
and seek for one outside the pale of their pro-
fcssion. For the discovery Of this remedy anu
for its application to this disease the reople
OF this city, the people of the wEoi land, not
only these who are suffering, but those who
have friends in danger, are earnestly anu long
ingly looking.
The above quotation from the New York
Tribune is causing considerable connection.
as it seems to lift the cover from subject
that has become Of National Importance. The
alarming increase of kidney diseases their
tf,,t
and the acknowledged inability of ply sicians
to successfully cope with them may well
awaken the greatest dread OF every one who
has the slightest symptoms At is fortunate,
however, that the surest relief is often found
where, possibly, least expected, and thatthere
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 to have been cured OF
serious kidney troubles even after hope had
been abandoned; but in common with most
| people we have discredited them. Quite re-
Gently however, a number of prominent and
we'll 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 that it had accomplished SO much in
checking the rayages of kidney disease isnot
so generally known Its great worth has been
shown not only by the cures it has effected,
but also because a number of base limitations
have appeared In the market, fraudulently
claiming the valuable qualities of the original
Safe Cure. fit were not valuable, it would
not be initiated.
The above may seem like an ultra endorse
| 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
human ty. 1t is on precisely this principle
that the foregoing statement is made and it
| merits the careful consideration OF every
| thinking reader.
