The Shadow Hanging Over New York City
Opinion.
The nation has been mortified at the burn
ing of a Milwaukee hotel, whereby over sew
enty lives we're lost. This event carried ter
Tor because it was en- and appalling; but
had the same disastrous results to life and
limb come silently they would have been I'M
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 attraCtednO 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 be uncertain, and
the report on the de0thS of this city is start
hing comment on its life. During the past
year the enormous increase of certain mala-
dies is simply appalling. While the total num-
Der of DEANS has dimnls e /. and the death
rate on most diseases has decreased, still It Is
Iar greater IN one or two more serious dISOr-
deIs than WI s ever known before. More peO-
pie died III the ely Of New York III Ioo2
from Brlght's disease of the kidneys, than
from dIDhthCrla, 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 de tbs from
Bright disease are really reported as such,
the ravages Of the maIady can be partially
understood.
The immediate query which every reader
will make upon such revelation of facts,
IS: What causes this increase! This Is a diff
hCult question TO answer. The mature OF the
climate, the habits of life, the adulteration
of foods and liquors, all undoubtedly con
tribute; but no Immediate cause can be GER
tainly assigned. Often before the victim
knows it the disease has begun. It's APP
prOaches are so steaLthy and its symptoms
so obscure that they cannot be definitely
fore zen, and are only known by their eff
feCt5. Any kidn " disorder. however slight. !

is seldom that kidney disc .ders can be de-
teCted. They 90 not have any certain Symp-
toms. Mysterious weariness; an unusual
appetite; periodical headaches; occasional
nausea; uncertain pains: loss of vlgOr: lack
of nerve power: lrragularIty OF the heart;
disordered 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 dis
ease 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-Spitting code of incorrectly fOrmu- |
lated theories. If the medical world has no
certain
them acknowledge itand seek for one outside
the pale of their profession. For the discoy-
cry of this remedy and for its application to
this disc Use, the people of this city, the pe0-
pie of the whole land, not only those who are
suffering. but those who have friends in dan
ger, are earnestly and longingly looking.
The above quotation from the New York
Tribune is causing considerable commOtion.
as it seems to lift the cover from a subject
that has bee )me of national importance.
The alarming increase of kidney diseases:
their insidious beginnings and frightfuI
endings, and the acknowledged inability of
physicians to successfully cope with them.
may we'll awaken the greatest dread of every
one who has the slightest symptoms
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 believe. Within the past two
years we have frequently seen statements of
parties claiming to have been cured of seri-
GUS kidney troubles even after hope had been
abandoned; but in common with most PEG
pie we have discredited them. Quite recently,
however, a number of prominent and well
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 ravages of kidney disease is not 50 gen
orally known. Its great worth has been
shown not only by the cures it has effected.
but also because anumber of base limitations
have appeared in the market, frauduIently
the valuable qualities of the orig
inal Safe Cure. If it were not valuable it
would not be initiated.
The above may seem like an ultra indorse-
ment of popular remedy, but it is not one
whit stronger than the facts admit. What
ever assists the world toward health and con
happiness, should receive the hearty
of the press and all friends Of
humanity 1t Is on precisely this principle
that the foregoing statement Is made, and il |
