cult question to answer. The nature OF the
climate. the habits of lie, the adulteration 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. Its approaches are so
they cannot be definitely foreseen and are only
known by their effects. Any kidney disorder,

unusual appetite; periodical headaches; oc-

toms 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 underst ood from the fact that Bright's
disease is as certain to follow diseased kidney
az 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 aud can not
await the tardy action Of any hair-splitting
code or incorrectly formulated theories. II
the medical world has no certain remedy for
this terrible disease let them acknowledge IL
and seek for one outside the pale of their pro-

for its application to 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 long
ingly 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 become Of National Importance. The
alarming increase Of kidney diseases; their
insidious beginnings and frightful endings
and the acknowledged inability Of phy eicians
to successfully cope with them may well
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 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 discreditei them. Quite re-
Gently, however, q number of prominent aud
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 it to be
classed above proprietary articles generally;
but that 1t had accomplished so much in
checking the ravages of kidney disease is not
so generally known. Its great worth has been
shown not only by the cures it has effected,
but also because number Of base limitations
