STARTLING STATISTICS.
The Shadow Hanging Over New. York City and the Entire COuntry---A Tribune Opinion.

| Opinion.
 The nation has been mortified at the burn ing Of Milwaukee hotel, whereby over sev- enty lives were lost. This event carried ter TOT because it was sudGel and appalling; but | had the san1e disastrous results to life and limb come silently they would have been iln- notlced, not only by the people Of the land but also by the very community In which they occurred Fatal events of far worse nature have taken place in this very city, but | they have attractedno attention, nor would l they now did not the Bureau of Vital Statls- | tics bring them to our notice. "Flgures do not lie, whatever else may be uncertain, and the report on the deaths of this city is a start ling comment on its tJe. During the past year the enormous increase of certain mala | dies is simply appalling. While the total mum Der of deaths has dimlnisL e l. and the death rate on most diseases has decreased, still 1t Is far greater in one or two more serious dlsor- ders than WE s ever known before. More peo- pie died in the city of New York i'll 1oo2 from Bright's disease of the kidneys, than from diphtheria, smallpox and typhoid fever all combinedl 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 malady can be partially | understood.
 The immediate query which every reader will make upon such a revelation of facts, is: What causes this increase? This is diff
 ticult question to answer. The nature of the | climate, the habits of life, the adulteratlOn of foods and liquors, all undoubtedly con tribute; but no immediate cause can be cer
 tainly assigned. Often before the victim knows it the disease has begun. Its ap- breaches are so stealthy and its symptoms so obscure that they cannot be definitely foreseen, and are only known by their eff
 fleets. Any kidn sy disorder, however slight,
 is the first stage of Bright's disease. But it is seldom that kidney disorders can be de- l l r,& how rtoir,
 toms. Mysterious weariaess; an unusual appetitej periodical headaches; occasional nausea; uncertain pains; loss of vlgor; lack of nerve power; irregularity 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 zion
 of the kidneys or i'll that portion of the body.
 The serious nature of these troubles may be
 understood from the fact that Bright's dis
 ease is as certain to follow diseased kidneys
 as decomposition follows death.
 It is high time the Doctors ln 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 tardy action of
 any hair-splitting code of incorrectly 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 discov-
 cry of this remedy and for its application to
 this disease, the people of this city, the peo-
 pie of the whole land, not only those who are
 suffering, but those who have friends in dan-
 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 become of national importance. The alarming increase of kidney diseases their insidious beginnings and frightful endings, and the acknowledged inability ot
 physicians to successfully cope with them
 may well awakenthe greatest dread of every
 one who has the slightest symptoms
 It 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 years we have frequently seen statements o1 , parties claiming to have been cured of seri.
 ous kidney troubles even after hope had beer
 abandoned; but in common with most peo
 pie we have discredited them. Quite recently
 however, a number of prominent and vel known men have come out voluntarily anc stated over their signatures that they were completely cured by the use of Warmers Saf.
