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
ty lives were lost. This event carried terror
because it was su iden md appalling; put nad
the same disastrous results TO lie and ntho
come silently they would have been unno-
ticed not only by the people OF the Ianu Dut
also by the very community in which they oc-
currei, 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 whatever else may be uncertain, and the
renort on the deaths of this city is startling Q
comment on its life. During the past year
the enormous increase of certain maladies is
simnly appalling. While the total number of
de-, tbs 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 k own before. More people died in
the city of New York in 1882 from Bright's
disease of the kidneys, tb-n from diphthcria,
smallpox AMI typhoid fever all com inc !!
This scarcely seems possible but 1t is true and
when 1t is remembered that less than one
third the actual deaths from Bright's disease
are really reported as such, the rlyages of the
malay can be partially understood.
The immedi tie query which every reader
will make upon such revel tion of facts, is:
What causes this increase! This is dli1l-
cult question to answer The nature OF the

foods and liquors. all un !oubtedly contribute;
but no immediate cause eau be ce tllnly as
signed. Often before the victim knows 1t the
disease has begun. Its approaches are so
stealthy and its symptoms so obscure tnat
they cannot be definitely foreseen and are only
known by their effects. Any XII In ydlSorder,
however irht, is the first stage OF Brights
di ease. but it is seldom that kidney sor-
ders can be detected. They do not have any
certain symptoms. Mysterious WEAKNESS; an
unusual appetite; periodical headaches; oc-
casional nausea; uncertain pains; loss OF
the he lrt; disordered daily h bits; imperfect
disestion-all these and many other symp-
toms are the indications Of kidney disorder
even though there may be no pa n in the
region of the kidneys or in that portion of the
body. The serious nature OF these troubles
m be unders ood from the f. ct that Bright s
disease is S certain to follow diseased kidneys
as decomposition follows death.
1t is high time the ,ctorS in this land who
have be, n unable to control kidney troubles,
should be aroused and comPeledto to find some
remedy, or acknowledge one already found.

code or incorrectly formulated theories III
the medical world has no certain remedy Tor
this terrible disease let them acknowledge it
and seek for one outside the pale OF their pro-
fession. For the discovery Of this remedy and

have friends in danger, are earnestly aud long

The above quotation from the New York
Tribune is causing consider BILE commotion,
as it seems to lift the cover from subject
that has become of National Importance. The
alarming increase of kidney diseases their
insidjous beginnings and frightful endings
and the acknowled re inab lity Of PHYSICIANS
to successfully cope with them may well
awaken the greatest dread of every one who
has the slgh' est SYM toms. 1t is fortunate,
however, that the surest relief is often foUnl
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 common with most
PEOPLE we have dscredted them. Quite re-
Gently however, a number of prominent and
well-known men have come out voluntarily
and stated over their signatures that they
were completely cured by the use of Warner's
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 lrietary articles generally;
but that it had accomplished so much in
checking the ravages Of kidney disease is not
so generally known. Its great worth has been
shown not only ty the cures it has effectel
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 a popular remedy but it is rot one
whit stronger than the facts admit What
ever assists the world towIrd health and con-
sequent happiness, shoull receive the hearty
endorsement of the press and all friends of
human ty. 1t is on precisely this principle
that the foregoing state ent is made and it
merits the careful consideration Of every
thinking reader.
