STARTLING STATISTICS
The Shadow Hanging Over New York
City and the Entire Country
A Tribune Opinion.


The nation has been Mortified at the burn
Ing of Milwaukee hotel whereby over seven
" lives were lost. This event carried terror
because it was sudden and appalling; buthad
the same disastrous resu IS to life aud limb
come silently they would have been unnO-
tlced, not only by the people of the land but
also by the very community in which they Oc-
CURED. 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 Statistics
bring them TO our notice Figures do not
lie, y whatever else nay be uncertain, and the
report on the deaths of this city is q startling
comment on its life. During the past year
the enormous increase of certain maladtes is
simply gppaIhng. While the total 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 own before. More people died IN
the city of New York ia 1882 from Bright's
disease of the kidneys tb n from diphtheIia,
smallpox ami typhoid fever all com inc II
This scarcely seems possible but 1t is true and
when 1t is remembered that less than one
third the actual deaths from Bright's disc Sc
are really repOl ted as such, the ravages Of the
malay can be partially understood.
The immedi te query which every reader
will make upon such revolution of facts, is:
What causes this increaset This is d1th-
cult question to answer. The nature OF the
climate, the habits of ii e, the adulteratlou Of
foods and liquors. all undoubtedly cOntrlbutei
but no immediate cause can be ce talnly 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 XII In ydtsorler,
however s hit, is the first stage of Bright's
di ease hut it is seldom that kidney d sor-
ders can be detected. They do not have any
certain symptoms. Mysterious WEAKNESS; an
unusual appetite; per odical headaches; oc-
casional nausea;. uncert ain pains; loss Of
vigor; lack of nerve power frregularitv of
the heart; disordered daily habits; imperfect
digestiOn-all these and many other symp-
a
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
m Y be unders God from the fact that Bright's
disease is 8 certain to followdiseased kidneys
as decomposition follows death.
It is high time the doctors in this land who
have besn unable to control kidney troubles,
should be aroused and compelled to find some
remedy, or acknowledge one already found.
The suffering public needs help a 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 acknOw edge it
and seek for one outside the pale of their pro-
-fession. For the discovery of this remedy and
Tor its application to this disease, the PEOPLE
of this city, the people Of the whole land, not
only those who are suffering, but those who
have friends in danger, are earnestly and long
ingly looking.
The above quotation from the New York
Tribune is causing consider BILE commOtion
as it seems to lift the cover from a subject
that has become of National Importance. The
alarming increase of kidney diseases; their
insidous beginnings and frightful endings
and the Acknowledged inab lily Of PHI sicians
to successfully cope with them may well
awaken the greatest dread of every one who
has the Sigh est SYM toms. 1t is fortunate,
however, that the surest relief is often found
where, possibly, least expected, and that there
is a specific for the evils above described we
have come to fully beheve. Within the past
two years we have frequently seenstatements
of parties claiming to Lave been cured Of
serious kidney troubles even after hope had
been abandoned; but in common with most
people we have discredted them. Quite re-
Gently, however, a number Of prominent and
well-kuOwn men have come ont voluntarily
and stated over their signatures that they
We're 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 ravages Of kidney disease is not
so generally known. It's great worth has been
shown not only by the cures it has effectel
but also bee use a 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 a POI ular remedy but it is OF one
Whit stronger :han the facts admit. What
ever assists the W rid tow ri health and con-
scquent happiness, should receive the hearty
endorsement Of the press and all friends Of
human ty. 1t is on precisely this principle
that the foregoing st ten emit is made and it
merits the careful consideration of every
thinking reader.
