STARTLING STATISTICS.

The Shadow Hanging over New York City
aud the Entire Conntry-A Tribune
Opinion.
The nation has been Mortified at the
burning of a Milwaukee hotel, whereby
over seventy lives were lost. This event
carried terror because it was sudden and ap-
paling; but had the same disastrous re-
suits to life and limb come silently they
would have been unnoticed, 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 at
tracted no attention, nor would they now
did not the Bureau of Vital Stats
tics bring them to our notice. "Figures
do not lie,' whatever else may DO uncer-
tain and the report on the deaths of this
city is a startling comment on its life.
During the past year the enormous in
crease of certain naladies is simply ap-
palling. 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 known before. More people died II
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 Brght's disease are really reported
as such, the ravages of The malady can be
partially understood.
The immediate query which every reader
10 oh, LOT - oAc
is: What causes this increase? This is
difficult question to answer. The nature
of the climate, the habits of life, the adul-
teration of foods and liquors, all undoubt-
eddy contribute; but no immediate cause
can bs certainly assigned. Often before
the victim knows it the disease has begun.
It's 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, how
disease. But it is seldom that
kidney disorders can be detected. They
do not have any certain systems. Myster-
ious WEAKNESS; an unusual appetite; peri
odical headaches; occasional nausea; IN
certain pains; loss of vigor; lack. of nerve
power; irregularity of the heart; disorder
ly 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
disease is as certain to follow diseased
kidneys as decomposition follows death.
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 and cannot await the tardy action of
any hair splitting code or incorrectly for
mulated theories. If the medical world
has no certain remedy for this terrible dis
ease let them acknowledge it and seek for
one outside the pale of their profession.
For the discovery of this remedy and for
its application of 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 longingly looking.
The above quotation from the New York
Tribune is causing considerable commo-
ton, as it seems to lift the cover from
subject that has become of national i'm
portance. The alarming increase of kid
ney diseases;their 1nsidious beginnings and
frightful endings and the acknowe edged
inability of physicians to successfully cope
with them may well awaken the greatest
dread OF. every one who has the slightest
symptoms. It is fortunate, however, that
the surest relief is often found where, pos
sibly, least expected, and that there is a
specific for the evils above de-
scribed 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 ia common with
most people we have discredited them.
| Quite recently, however,a number of prom
inent and well-known men have come out
voluntarily and stated over their sigma
lures 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 pro-
prietary articles generally; but thatit had
accomplished so much in checking
the ravages of kidney disease is not so gen
erallyknown. Its 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 valu-
able, it would not be initiated
The above may seem like an ultra en-
dorsement of popular remedy but it is
not one whit stronger than the 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 pre-
cissly this principle that the foregoing
statement is made and it merits the care
full consideration of every thinking
reader.
