kOm.
The nation has been horrified at
the burning OF a Milwaukee hotel,
whereby over seventy lives were
lost. This event carried terror be-
cause it 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 III
which they 0rcured. Fatal events
OF a far worse nature have taken
place in this very city, but they
attracted no attentions. nor would
they now did not the Bureau of
Uital Statistics bring them To our
notice. Figures do not lie,"
whatever else may be uncertain and
the report on the Deaths OF this city
is a startling comment on its life.
During the past year the enormous
Increase Ofcertain Inala0ies is simply
appalling. While the total number
OF deaths has decreased still it is far
greater in one or two serious disOr
ders than Was ever known before.
More people died in The city of New
York III 1882 from Bright's disease
ol the kidneys than from diphthe-
ria, smallpox 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
Bright's disease are really reported
as such, the ravages of the inalady
car be partially understood.
The Immediate query which
every reader will make upon such a
revelation OF facts, is: What causes
this increase? This is difficult
question to answer. The nature of
the climate, the habits of life, the
adulteration of foods and liquors,
all undoubtedly contributes; but no
Immediate cause can be certainly
assigned. Often before the victim
knows it the disease has begun.
Its approaches are SO stealthy and
its symptoms so obscure that they
cannot be definitely forseen 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 disor-
ders can be detected. They do not
have any certain symptoms. Mys-
FERROUS WEAKNESS an unusual appe-
tite; periodical headaches Occa-
sional nausea; uncertain pains;
loss of vigor lack of nerve power;
irregularity of the heart disordered
daily habits /; imperfect digestion
all these and many other symptoms
are the indications of kidney disor-
der 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 as certain to fol-
low diseased kidneys as decOmpOsi-
ton follows death. r.
1t is high time the Doctors in this
land who have been unable to CON-
troll kidney trouble, should be arous-
ed and compelled to find some REM
edy, or acknowledge one already
found. The suffering public needs
help and cannot await the tardy
action of any hair-splitting 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 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 longingly look
ing.
The above quotation from the
New York Tribune is causing con-
siderable commotion, as it seems to
lift the cover from a subject that
has become of National Importance.
The alarming increase of kidney
diseases f; their insidious beginnings
and frightful endings and the ac-
knowledged inability of physicians
to successfully cope with them may
well awaken the greatest dread of
every one who has the slightest
symptoms. 1t IN fortunate, how
ever, that the surest relief is often
found where, possibly. least ex-
pected, and that there is a specific
for the evils above described we |
have come to fully believe. Within
the past two years we have fire.
Iuently seen statements of parties
to have been cured of
serious kidney troubles even after
hope had been abandoned but in
common with most people we have
liscredited them. Quite recently,
however, a number of prominent
Ind Well-knOWn men have come
,ut voluntarily and stated over
heir signatures that they were
cured by the use of
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. Most people have been
ware that this medicine has an
lnusal standing and one emitting
to be classed above proprietary
rticles generally; but that it had
so much in checking
he ravages OF kidney disease is not
o generally known. Its great
worth has been shown not only by
he cures it has affected, but also
ecause a number of base imita-
ions have appeared in the market.

The above may seem like an ul- {

happiness, should re-

is on precisely this principle that
