STARTLING STATISTICS.
Ahe Shadow Hanging Over New York
City and the Entire Country
A Tribune Opinion.

Tribune Opinion.
Inc nation has been Mortified at the burn
!ns oI milwaukee hotel, whereby over seven |
~ " nYes were lost. This event carried terror
because 1t was sudden and appalling; but had
Che same disastrous results to life and limb
come silently they would have been unno-
uceo, not only by the people of the land but
a a ~ the very community in which they oc-
CURED. Fatal events of a far worse nature
have taken place in this very city, but they
nave attracted no attention, nor would they
now uid not the Bureau of Vital Statistics
nring Them to our notice. Figures do not
ne, 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 Is
simply appalling. While the total number of
de"ths 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 crown before. More people died in
the city of New York in 1882 from Bright's
disease OF the kidneys tb IN from diphtheria,
smallpox and typhoid fever all ominedi
Ihis scarcely seems possible but it is true and
wnen It is remembered that less than one
third the actual deaths from Bright's disease
are really reported as such, the ravages of the
m lazy can be partially understood.
Inc immediate query which every reader
VIII make upon such revela ton OF facts, is:
what causes this increased This is d1th-
| cult question to answer The nature of the
| climate. the habits of life, the adulteration of
| foods and liquors, all undoubtedly contribute;
| but no immediate cause can be certainly as
signed. Often before the victim knows it the
| disease has begun. Its approaches are SO
| stealthy and it's symptoms SO obscure that
| they cannot be definitely foreseen and are only
/ Known by their effects. Any kidney disorder,
| however e light, is the first stage of Bright's
| disease. kut 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
| vigor; lack OF nerve power; irregularity Of
| the heart; disordered daily habits: imperfect
| digestion-ah these and many other symp-
| IONS 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 IS 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 fiud some
| remedy or acknowledge one already found.
The suffering public needs help ard can not
| await the tardy action OF any hair-spitting
| code or incorrectly formulated theories. If
| the medical world has no certain remedy for
| 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
l
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
ngly looking.
The above quotation from the New York
Tribune is causing considerable connection,
as it seems to lift the cover from 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 we'll
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 tina 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, 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
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Most people
have been aware that this medicine has az
/
classed above proprietary 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 by the cures it 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 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 ct 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
human ty. 1t is on precisely this principle
that the foregoing statement is made and it
merits the careful consideration Of every
thinking reader.
