STARTLING STATISTICS,

City and the Entire Country-A Tribune
Opinion.
The nation has been Mortified at the burn
ing of Milwaukee hotel, whereby over
seventy lives were lost This event carried
terror because IL was sudden and appalling;
but had the same disastrous results 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 a 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
and the report on the deaths of this city is a
startling comment on its iJe. During the
past year the enormous increase of certain
maladies is simply appalling. While the
total number of deaths has diminished and
the death rate on most diseases has de-
creased still it is far greater in one or two
serious disorders than was ever known be-
fore More people died in the city of New
York in 1882 from Bright's disease of the
kidneys than from diphtheria, small box
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 Brights disease
are really reported as such, the ravages of
the malady can be partially understood
The immediate query which every reader
will make upon such a revelation of facts, is:
What causes this increaseg This il difficult
question Co answer The nature of the
climate the habits of lifS, 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
seen and are only known by their effects.
Any kidney disorder, however slight,
is the first stage OF Bright's
disease. But it is seldom that
kidney disorders can he detected They do
not have any certain symptoms Mysterious
WEAKNESS; an unusual Appetite; periodical
headaches; occasional nausea; uncertain
pains; loss OF vigor; lack OF nerve power;
irrogularitv 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 disease is az certain to
follow diseased kidneys as decomposition
follows death.
Ii 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 form
ulated theories. III the medical world has
no certain remedy for this terrible disease
let them acknowledge it and seek for one
outside the pale of their profession. For
the discovery of this remedy and for its ap-
plication to this disease, the people OF this
city: the people of the whole land; not only
hoe xsIan httf In hny a
friends in danger, are earnestly and long
ingly looking
The above quotation from the New York
Tribuao is causing considerable commotion,
as il seems to lift the cover from n subject
that has become of national importance.
The alarming increase of kidney diseases;
their insidious beginnings and frightful end
| ings and the acknowledged inability of ply
| sicians TO successfully cope with them may
well awaken the greatest dread of every one
who has the slightest symptoms 1t is fort
innate, 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 came to fully be-
| lieve Within the past two years we have
frequently seen statements of parties claim
ing to have been cured of serious
kidney troubles even after hope had
, been abandoned but in common
with most people we have
discredited them Quite recently, however,
number of prominent and well-known
men have come out voluntarily and stated
over their signatures that they were COM
pletely cured by the use of Warmers Safe
| Kidney and Liver Cure. Most people have
been aware that this medicine has an un-
usual standing and one emitting it TO b
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 it has
effected, but also because n number of base
limitations have appeared in the market
fraudulently claiming the valuable qualities
of the original Safe Cure. If it were moi
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 anc
consequent happiness should receive the
hearty Endorsement of the press and al
friends of humanity. 1t is on precisely Thu
principle that the foregoing statement il
made and it merits the careful consideration
of every thinking reader
