startling comment ON its life Durine
the past year the enormous increase 81
certain maladies is simply appalling
While the total number of deaths has
diminished and the death rate on most
diseases has decreased still it is far greater
serious in one or two disorders than wa,
ever known before. More people died in
the city of Newly crk i'm 1882 from Bright
disease of the kidneys, than from diph.
liberia, smallpox and typhoid fever al.
combined! This scarcely seems possible
but it is true, and when it is remembered
that less than one-third the actual death
from Bright's disease are really reporte..
as such, the ravages of the malady car
be partially understood.
The immediate query which ever
reader will make upon such a revelation o!
facts is: What causes this increase; This
is difficult question to answer The
nature of the climate, the habits of life
the adulteration of foods and liquors al
undoubtedly contribute; but no imme
date cause can be certainly assigned
Often before the victim knows it the dis
ease has begun. Its approaches are SO
stealthy and its symptoms SO obscure.

first stage of Brights disease. But it j.
seldom that kidney disorders can be dc
detected They do not have any certain
symptoms. Mysterious WEAKNESS; an un
usual appetite; periodical headaches; oc
cuSional nauesa; uncertain pains; loss oi
vigor; lack of nerve power: ifregularity
of the heart; disordered daily habits
Imperfect digest IN -a all these and many
other symptoms are the indications oil
kidney disorder even though there may
be no pain in the region of the kidneys
or in that portion of TIN body. The ser
lous nature of these troubles may be
understood from the fact that Bright's
disease is as certain to follow diseased
kidneys. as decomposition follows death.

let them acknowledge it and seek for one
outside the pale Of their profession For
the discovery of this remedy and for iis
application to this disease, the people Of
this city; the people Of the whole land;
not only those who are suffering bat
those who have friends in danger are
earnestly and longingly looking.
The above quotation from the New
York Tribune is causing considerable
commot'ol as it seems to lift the cover
from a subject that has become OF
National Importance. The alarming in
crease of kidney diseases, their insidious
beginnings and frightful cndings. and
the acknowledged inability of physi-
clans to successfully cope with them
may well awaken the gre test dread Of
every one who has the slightest symp-
toms. 1t is fortunate. however that the
suCst relief is often found where, pos
sibly. least expected. and that there is a
specific for the evils above described w
lave come to fully believe. With
in 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
mon with most people we have discred-
tied them Quite recently, however,
number of prominent and well-known
men have came out voluntarily and stat
cd over their signatures, that they were
completely cured by tile use of Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Most peo-
pie have been aware that this medicine
has an unusual standingand one emitting
IL TO be Classed above proprietary articles
generally: but that il had accomplished
SO much in checking the ravages of kid
ncy disease is not so generally known.
Its great worth has been shown not only
by the cures it has effected, but also be-
cause a number OF base limitations have
in the market, fraudulently
claiming the valuable qualities of the
original Safe Cure. If it were not valu-
able, it would not be initiated.
The above may seem like an ultra en-
dorsement of a popular remedy, but it is
not one whit stronger than facts admit,
Whatever assists the world toward health
and consequent 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 care
