report on the deaths of this city is a startling
comment on It's ne. During the past year
the enormous increase OF certain maladies is
deaths has diminished and the death rate on
most diseases has decreased still 1t 10 far
greater In ono or two serious disorders than
was ever known before. More people died 10
disease of the kidneys, than from diphthcria,
smallpox and typhoid fever all combined
This scarcely SCENE possible but 1t 10 true and
when It ia remembered that less than one
third the actual deaths from Brighps disesse
are really reported as such, the ravagcs OF the
malady can be partially understood.
The Immediate query which every reader
will make upon such revelation OF facts. is:
What causes this increasei This is diff
cult question to answer The nature OF the
climate the habits of life, the adulteration Of
foods and liquors, all undoubtedly contribute;
but no immediate cause can be certainly as
signed. Often before the victim knows 1t the
disease has begun. Its approaches are SO
stealthy and its symptoms 50 obscure that
they caunot be definitely foreseen and are only
known by their effects. Any kidney disorder,
however 6. light, is the first stage of Brights
disease. but il is seldom that kidney disor-
ders can be detected. They do not have any
certain symptoms. Mysterious weariness; an
unusual appetite; periodical headaches; oc.
casional nausea; uncertain pains; loss OF

the heart; disordered daily habits; Imperfect
digestion-all these and many other symp-
toms are the indications Of kidney disorder
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 8
disease IL as certain to follow diseased kidneys
| as decomposition follows death.
1t is high time the doctors In this land who
| have been unable to control kidney troubles,
| should be aroused and compelledto to find some
remedy, or acknowledge one already found.

await the tasdy action OF any haPittipg
the medical world has no certain remedy Tor
| this terrible disease let them acknowledge 1t
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 long
ingly 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 frightful endings
and the acknowledged inability of ply sicians
to successfully cope with them may well
awaken the greatest dread of every one who

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 pas,
two years we have frequently seen statement:
Of parties claiming to have been cured o.
serious kidney troubles even after hope had
been abandoned; but In common with mos
people we have discredited them. Quite re
Gently, however, number of prominent ant
well-known men have come out voluntarily
and stated over their signatures that they
were completely cured by the use OF Warner
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Most peopl,
have been aware that this medicine has al
unusual standing and one emitting 1t to bt

but that It had accomplished so much II

shown not only by the cures 1t has effected
but also because number of base limitations
have appeared in the market, fraudulently
claiming the valuable qualities OF the origina

The above may seem like an ultra endorse
ment Of a popular remedy but it is not on
whit stronger than the facts admit. What
ever assists the world toward health and con
sequent happiness, should receive the heart
endorsement Of the press and all friends o
human ty. 1t is on precisely this principl
that the foregoing statement is made and 4
merits the careful consideration Of ever!
