The Shadow Hanging Over New York

OpiniOn.


Opinion.
The nation has been Mortified ut tho burn
ing Of q Milwaukee, hotel, whereby over
seventy lives were lost. This event carried
terror because it was sudden and appalling;
but had the same disastrous results tO life and
limb como silently they would have been un-
noticed, not only by the people of the land,
but also the very community in which they
OCCurrCdF Fatal events of 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 do not
lie" whatever else may be uncertain, and the
reports on the dCdths of this city is Il startling
comment ON it's Ntc. During the past year
the enormous increase of certain maladies is
simply appalling. While tho total number of
deaths has diminished and the death rate on
most diseases has decreased, still IL is far
greater in one or two serious disorders than
was ever known before. More people died i'll
the city of New York in 1882 from Brights
disease of the kidneys than from diphtheria,
smallpox, aud typhoid fever nll 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. {,
Tho immediate query which every reader
will make upon such revelation of facts is {:
question to answer. The nature Of the cli-
mate, tho habits of life, the adulteration of
foods and liquor, all undoubtedly contribute
hut no immediate cause can be certainly
assigned. Often before the victim knows
it tho disease has begun. Its approaches
arc SO stealthy aud its symptoms so OBJ.
scurs that they cannot bo definitely
lorGsccn and arc only known by their
effects. Amy kidney disorder, however slight,
Is the first stage of Brghts disease But it is
seldom that kidney disorders can be detected.
They do not have any certain symptoms.
Mysterious wcariness; an unusual appetite
periodical headaches: occasional nausea; TN
certain pains; loss of vigor; lack of ncrvc
power irregularty of the heart disorderud
daily habits imperfect digestiOn--all these
and many other symptoms are the indications
of kidney disorder even though there may DO
no pain in tho region of the kidneys or in
that portion OF the body. The serious nature
of these troubles may be understood from tho
fact that Bright's disease is uS certain to fol-
low diseased kidneys rs decomposition follows
death.
1t 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 taTdy 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
aud seek for ono outside the pale of their pro-
fcssion. For the discovery of this remedy
and for its application to this disease, the pco-
pie OF this city; the people of the whole land /;
not only those who arc suffering, but those
who have friends in danger are earnestly and
lOngingly looking.
The above quotation from the New York
Tribune is causing considerable Commotion, as
it seems to lift the cover from subject that
has become of national importance The
alarming increase of kidney Diseases their
insidious beginnings and frightiul 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 symptom. 1t is fortunate,
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 come to fully believe. Within the past
two years we have frequently seen statements
of parties claiming to have been cured of seri-
Gus kidney troubles even after hope had been
abandoned; but in common with most people
we have discredited them. Quito recently
however, a number of prominent and we'll
known men have come out voluntarily and
complet ely 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 entitling it to be cassed
above proprietary articles generally; but that
it had accomplished so much in checking tho
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 be-
cause u number of base limitations have ap-
pcared in the market fraudulently claiming
tho valuable qualities of the original Safe
Cure. If it were not valuable, it would not
! be initiated.
Tho above may seem like an ultra indorse-
ment of n popular remedy, but it is not one
whit stronger than the facts admit. What
ever assists the world toward health and con-
sequcnt happiness should receive the hearty
Endorsement of the press and all friends OF
humanity. 1t is precisely on this principle
that the foregoing statement is made and ii
merits the careful consideration of every
| thinking reader.
