The Shadow Hanging Over New 9rk Ut
Opinion.
The nation has L cen Mortified at the burn
ing Of a Milwaukee hotel, whereby over sev
enty lives were lost. This event carried ter
| Tor because il was sudc @ and appalling; bu
had the same disastrous results to life anS
limb come silently they would have been un
noticed, not only bs the people Of the lane
but also by the very community IN whlci
they occurred. Fatal events of far worse
nature have taken place in this very city, but
they have attractednO attention, nor woulc
they now did not the Bureau of Vital Statis-
| tics bring them to our notice. Figures dc
not lie" whateverelse may be uncertain, and
the report on the deaths of this city is a start
/ ling comment on its life. During the past
| year the enormous increase of certain mala-
| dies is simply appalling. While the total num-
! Der of deaths has diminisl Q J, and the death
/ rate on most diseases has decreased, still it is
I far greater in one or two more serious disor-
! deTs than WI s ever known befor6. More peO-
pie died in the city of New York in 1882
/ from Bright's disease of the kidneys, than
! from diphtheria smallpox and typhoid fever
all combined This scarcely seems possible,
but it is true, and when it is remembered that
less than .oHe-third the actual deaths from
Bright's 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 incTeaseI This is diff
deult question to answer. The nature of the
climate, the habits of life, 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. Its ap-
proaches are so stealthy and its symptoms
so obscure that they cannot be definitely
foreseen, and are only known by their eff

is the fist stage of Brigbts disease. But it
is seldom that kidney disorders can he de-
tected They do not have any certain symp-
toms. Mysterious weariness; an unusual
appetite; periodical headaches; occasional
nausea; uncertain pains; loss of vigor; lack
of nerve power; irregnl0rity 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 i'll that portion of the body.
The serious nature of these troubles may be
understood from tho fact that Bright's dis
ease is as certain to follow diseased kidneys
as decomposition follows death.
It 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 rublic needs
help and cannot await the tardy action of
any hair-splitting code of Incorrect y formu-
lated theories. If the medical world has no
certain remedy for this terrible disease let
them acknowledge itand seek for one outside
the pale of their profession For the discOy-
cry of this remedy and for its application to
this diselse, the people of this city, the peo-
pie of the whole land, not only those who are
suffering, but those who have friends in dam
ger, 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 a subject
that has leo 1me of national Importance.
TIE alarming increase of kidney diseases;
their insidious beginnings and frightfu
endings, aud the acknowledged inability of
physicians to successfully cope with them.
may well awaken the greatest dread of every
one who has the slightest symptoms.
It is fortunate, ho9-v.r, that the
surest relief is often found where.
possibly, least expected, ana 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 10 have been cured of seri- |
1us kidney troubles even after hope had been |
abandoned; but in common with most peo- |
pie we have discredited them. Quite recently, |
however, a number of prominent and well
Known men have come out voluntarily and |
stated over their signatures that they were
cured by the use of Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure. Most people have
1een aware that this medicine has an unusual
tanding and one emitting it to be classed
boye proprietary articles generally; but that
had accomplished so much in checking
ne ravages of kidney disease is. not so gen
rally known. lis great worth has been
lown not only by the cures it has effected,
at also because number of base limitations
ave appeared in the market, fraaduIently
aiming the valuable qualities of the orig
lal Safe Cure. If it were not valuable it
ould not be initiated.
The above may seem like an ultra indorse-
tent of a popular remedy, but it is not one
hit stronger than the facts admit. What
rer assists the world toward health and CON
quent happiness should receive the hearty
dorsement of the press and all friends of
lmanity. Il is on precisely this principle
lat the foregoirs statement is made, and it
erits the careful consideration of every
linking rerder.
