 The Shadow Hanging Over New York
 City and the Entire Country-A Fri
 bune Opinion
 The nation has been mortified ct the burn ing of Milwaukee hotel, whereby over sev- entY lives were lost: This event carried ter TOT because it was sudden 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 Statls. tics bring them to our notice. Figures do not lie l" whatever else may be uncertain and the report on the deGttS of this city is a startling comment on it's hfS. During the past year the enormous increase of certain maladies is simply appalling. While the to- tai number of deaths has diminished and the death rate on most diseases has decreased, still it is far greater in one or two serious disorders than was ever known before. More people died in the city of New York in 1882 from Bright's disease of the kidneys than from diphtheria, smallpox and typhoid fever all combined This scarcely seems possible, but it is true, and when it is remembered that less than one third the actual deaths from Bright's disease are really reported as such, the ravages of the malady can be partially understood.
 The immediate query which every reader will make upon such revelation of facts, is: What causes this increase This is 8 difficult question to answer. The nature Of the climate, the habits of life, the adultera- tion of foods and liquors, all undoubtedly contribute; but no immediate cause can be certainly assigned. Often before the victim knows it the disease has begun. Its ap- breaches are so stealthy and it's symptoms so obscure that they cannot be definitely fore seen and are only known by their effects. Any kidney disorder, however slight, is the first stage of Bright's disease. But it is sel dom that kidney disorders can be detected. They do not have any certain symptoms. Mysterious weariness; 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.aH 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 na- ture of these troubles may be understood from the fact that Bright's disease is as cer' tain to follow diseased kidneys as decomposi ton follows death.
 It 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 and cannot | await the tardy action of any halr-spIttlne | code or incorrectly formulated theories Ii I the medical world has no certain remedy fol ! this terrible disease let them acknowledge i ! and seek for one outside the pale of theil profession. For the discovery of this reme- dy and for it's application to this disease, tht people of this city; the people of the whol' \ land not only those who are suffering, bu ! those who have friends in danger, are earnest | ly and longingly looking.
 The above quotation from the New Yorl ! Tribune is causing considerable commotion as it seems to lift the cover from subjec { that has become of national importance The alarming increase of kidney diseases their insidious beginnings and frightful end \ ings and the acknowledged inability of phy sicians to successfully cope with them may we'll awaken the greatest dread of every one who has the slightest symptoms. It is for tunate, however, that the surest relief ii 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 to have been cured of serious kidney troubles even after hope had been abandoned; but in com HUI H4GA AAO6G poOpAO WV A4nVO SAAooASAASoA them. Quite recently, however, a number o1 prominent and we'll known men have come out voluntarily and stated over their sigma lures that they were completely cured by the use of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Most people have been aware that this medi- cine has an unusual sanding and one enti- ting it to be chased above proprietary arti- cles generally but that it has accomplished so much in checking the ravages of kidney disease is not so generally known. It's great worth has been shown not only by the cures it has effected, but also because number of base limitations have appeared in the market, fraudulently claiming the valuable qualities of the original Safe Cure. If it were not valuable it would not be initiated
 The above may seem like an ultra endorse ment of popular remedy, but 1t 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. It is on precisely this principle that the foregoing statement is made and it merits the careful consideration of every thinking reader.
