STARTLING STATISTICS
The Shadow Hanging Over New York
City and tho Entire Country
A Tribune Opinion.

A Tribune Opinion.
The nation has been horrifed at the burn
Ing OF Milwaukee hotel, whereby over seven
ty lives were lost. This event carried terror
because 1t was sudden and appalling; but had
the same disastrous results to life and limb
come silently they would have been unno-
ticed, not only BY the people Of the land but
also by The very community In which they oc-
CURED. Fatal events OF q far worse nature
have taken place In this very city, but they
have attracted no attention, nor would they
non did not the Bureau OF Vital Statistics
bring them to our notics. Figures do not
lie," whatever else may be uncertain, and the
report on the deaths of this city is q startling
comment on its life During the pas. year
the enormous increase of certain maladies IL
simply appalling. While the total number CT
deaths has diminished and tue death rate on
greater In ono or two serious disorders than
was ever known before More people died in
the city OF New York ia 1882 from Bright's
disease OF tho kidneys, tb N from diphtheria,
smallpox aud typhoid fever all com ined |
This scarcely seems possible bpt 1t 10 true and
when it is remembered that less than one
third the actual deaths from Bright's disease
are really reported as such, the rayages 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 increased This is a diff
cult question to answer. The nature OF the
climate, the habits of lie, the sdulteration of
foods and liquors, all undoubtedly contribute;
but no immediate cause can be .tainly as
signed Often before the victim knows 1t the
disease has b6gun. lts approaches are SO
stealthy and its symptoms so obscure that
they cannot be definitely foreseen and are only
known By their effecto. Any kidney disorder,
however slight, is the first stage OF Brights
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
vigor; lack OF nerve power; irregularity 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 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
disease Ii g certain to follow diseased kidneys
90 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 AVID can not
await the tzrdy action OF any hsir~splittinG
code or incorrectly formulated theories Il
the medical world has no certain remedy for
this terrible disease let them acknowledge 1t
and seek for one outside the pale of their pro-
fession. For the discovery Of this remedy and
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 1t ssems to lift the cover from a subject
that has become OF National Importance. The
alarming increase Of kidney diseases; their
insidous beginnings and frightful endings
and the acknowledged inability OF PHYSICIANS
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 discredited them. Quite re-
Gently, however, 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 ar
unusual standing and one emitting it to be
classed above proprietary articles generally;
but thst 1t had accomplished so much In
checking the rayages of kidney disease is not
SO generally known. Its great worth has been
shown not only Ly the cures it has effected,
but also because number Of base limitations
have appeared In the marked, 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 not 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. 1t is on precisely this principle
that the foregoing statement is made and it
merits the careful consideration of every
thinking reader.
