STARTLING STATISTICS.
The Shadow Hanging Over Now York
City and tho Entire Country
A Tribune Opinion.

The nation has been horrifcd at the burn
Ing OF q Milwaukee hotel, whereby over seVou'
ty lives were lost This event carried terror
because it was su idcn and appalling; but had
the same disastrous results TO lie aud limD
come silently they would have been unnO-
ticcd, not only by the people of the land but
also by the very community in which they oc-
CURED. Fatal events Of a far worse nature
have taken place In this very city, but they
have attracted no attention, nor would they
row did not the Bureau Of Vital Statistics
bring them TO our notice. "Figures do not
lie" whatever else may be uncertain, and the
report on the dedthS of this city is q startling
comment on its t0c. During tho past year
the enormous increase of certain maladics ia
simply appalling. While the total number Of
deaths has diminished and tho death rate on
most diseases has decreased still it is far
greater In one or two serious disorders than
was ever own before More people died in
the city OF New York in 1882 from Brght's
disease Of the Kidneys I'D II from diphthcIia,
smallpox ani typhoid fever all Comino |!
This scarcely seems possible but 1t i3 true and
when 1t IS remembered that less than one
third the actual deaths from BrighrS disc sc
are really reported Ns such, the rIvagcs Of the
malady can be partially understood.
The immediate query which cvcryorca
will make upon such rcvcl ,tiOn of facts, is
What causes this increosc? This is dill
cult question to answer The nature OF the
climate the habits OF lie, the adulteraCiOu of
foods and liquors, ali un toubtcdly contribute;
but no immediate cause can be certainly
disease has begun Its appr0 aches are so
stcalthy and It's symptoms so obscure that
they cannot be definitely fOrosccn vi are only
known by their effects. Any iln"y Disorder,
however sight, is the first stage OF BriGht'S
iii case. but 1t is seldom that kidney d sor-
dcrs can be detected. They do not have any
certain symptoms. Mysterious wcarincss; an
unusual appetite; periodical headaches; Oc-
caSional nausea; uncertain pains; loss OF
Higor; lack OF nerve power; irrrgularity Of
the heart; disorirrcd daily h,bits impcrGcct
dtgestton-all these and many othe.' symp-
toms are the Indications of kidney disorder
even though there may be no pan in the
region of the kidneys or in that portion of the
body. The serious nature Of these troubles
m ~ be rs;ood from the fact that Brighrs
disease Is s. certain to follow diseased kidncys
1s decomposition follows DEATH.
1t is high time the d )ctOrs in this land who
nave be II unable to control kidney troubles,
should DC aroused and comycIlcdto find some
remedy, or acknowledge one already found.
ne suffering public needs help q can not
Wait The tardy action OF any hair-Splitiiug
code OF INCORRECTLY lormulHt@l theories If
the medic ii world has no certain remedy for
his terrible disease let them acknowledge it
i'rl seek for one outside the pale of their pro-
r53ioH. For the discovery of this remedy and
or its application t. this disc.sc the rCoDlc
+ this city, the people Of the wi ole land, not
"Nly those who are suffering but those who
lave friends in danger, arc earnestly and long

The above quotation from the New York
as it seems TO lift the coyer from q subject
tI Il has become Of \ .tional imp"rt.,ucc. The
2l!muiu.: mcrc sc OF kidncy diseases; their
usid'o IS beginnings and irichtful cndings
and thr acknOwlc lie ! iuAh lity Of PHI eic:ans
to successfully cope with them may well
awaken the greatest drsLd Of every one who
has the sli.rh'cSt sym, tNiuS. It is fortunate,
however, that the surc5t relief Is oft.n fOuu
where, possibly, least expected, and tn I there
is specific for the evils :h0y; described We
have come to fully believe. Within the past
two years We have Frequently seen statements
Of parties claiming to lave been cured of
serious kidney troubles even after hDpc hal
Teen absndoncd; hut in common with NEST
people we have diScrCditcl them Quite re-
Gently, however, number Of pro linCnt and
wrll-knOwn men have come out voluntarily
and stated over their signatures that they
were completely cured Ivy the use OF Wa:ncr's
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Most people
have been aware that this medicine has IN
| unusual standing and one emitting it t. bc
classcd above pro rict0ry articles generally;
tut that II had accomplished 80 much in
! checking the rayaEcs Of kidney disease is not
so generally known. It's great worth has been
shown not only by the cures it has cHectc /,
but also because 4 number of base limitations
have appeared il the fnar!lct, fraudlllcntlY
claiming the valuable qualities OF the original
Safe Care. If i We're not valuable, it would

The above may seem like an ultra endorse
mcnt Of popular remedy but it is I OF Oac
whit stronger than the facts admit. What
ever assists the W rid toward health and con-
! ScQucnt happiness, shnul receive the hearty
endorsement Of the press and all friends Of
human ty. 1t is on precisely this pri acil lie
that the foregoing st t. ent is made and it
merits the careful consideration Of every
