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

A Tribune Opinion.
The nation has been horrifed at the burn
Ing OF Milwaukee hotel, whereby over seven.
~ lives were lost. This event carried terror
because 1t was sudden and appalling; buthad
the same disastrous results to life and limb
come silently they would have been unno-
tced, not only by the people OF the land but
CURED. Fatal events of o 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 moi
lie, whatever else may be uncertain, and the
report on the deaths Of this city is startling
comment on its life. During the past year
the enormous increase of certain maladies IL
1mply appalling. While the total number of
deaths has diminished and the death rate on
most diseases has decreased still 1t Is far
greater in one or two serious disorders than
was ever known before. More people died in
the city OF New York IN 1882 from Brght's
disease Of the kidneys, than from diphtheria,
smallpox and typhoid fever all cominell
This scarcely seems possible but it 10 true and
when 1t is remembered that less than one
third the actual deaths from Bright's disease
are really reported as such, the ravages of the
malady can be partially understood.
Tho immediate query which every reader
What causes this increased This is diff
cult question to answer. The nature OF the
climate the habits of life, the adulteraton of
foods and liquors, all undoubtedly contribute;
but no immediate cause can be certainly as
signed. Often before the victim knows 1t 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,
however sight, is the first stage OF Bright's
dis ease. But 1t Is seldom that kidney d sor-
ders can be detected. They do not have any
certain symptoms. Mysterious weariness; an
unusual appetite; periodical headaches; oc-
casional nausea; uncertain pains; loss OF
yigor; lack Of nerve power; ,trregularity OF
the heart; disordered daily habits; imperfect
digestion-all these and many other symp-
toms are the indications Of kidney disorder
even though there may be no pan in the
region Of the kidneys or In that portion of the
body. The serious nature of these troubles
may be unders, ood from the fact that Bright's
disease Ia 20 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 compelledto find some
remedy, or acknowledge one already found
The suffering public needs help AID can not
wait the tardy action Of any hair-splitting
ode or incorrectly formulated theories. If
he medical world has no certain remedy for
his terrible disease let them acknowledge il
md seek for one outside the pale of their pro-
ession. For the discovery of this remedy and
rr It's application to this disease, the people
this city, the people of the whole land, not
NY those who are suffering, but those who
we friends in danger, are earnestly aud long
t7 looking.
The above quotation from the New York
Tribune Is causing considerable commotion
az it seems to lift the cover from a subject
that has become Of National Importance. The
alarming increase of kidney diseases; their
insidious beginnings and frightful endings
A. IL.
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 Ia often found
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 discredted 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 Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Most people
have been aware that this medicine has an
unusual standing and one emitting 1t 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 1t 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 1t were not valuable, 1t would
not be initiated.
The above may seem like an ultra endorse
mcnt Of popular remedy but it is rot one
whit stronger than the facts admit. What
ever assists the world toward health and con-
seQuent happiness, should receive the hearty
endorsement of the press and all friends Of
humanity. It is on precisely this principle
that the foregoing statement is made and it
merits the careful consideration Of every
thinking reader.
