The shadow Hanging over New Yori
city and the Entire cOuntry-A "Fri
hume" Opinion.

i bune" Opinion.
The Nation has been Mortified at tn,
burning Of n Milwaukee hotel, whereof!
over seventy lives were lost. This even
carried terror because 1t was sudden ant
appalling; but had the same disastrous re
suits to life and limb come silently the!
would have been unnoticed, not only b!
the people OF the land but also by the yer!
community in which they occurred. Fata
events Of far worse nature have taker
place in this very city, but they have at
tracted no attention, nor would they now
did not the Bureau OF Vital Statistics brint
them to our notice. Figures do not lie,
whatever else may be uncertain and the
report on the deaihs OF this city is start
ling comment on its life During the past
year the enormous increase OF certain NAL
aides is simply appalling. While the total
number OF deaths has diminished and the
death rate on most diseases has decreased
still 1t is tar greater in one or two serious
disorders than was ever known before
More people died in the city OF New York
in 1882, from Bright's disease Of the kid:
neys, than from diphtheria, smallpox and
typhoid fever all combined! This scarcely
seems possible, but it is true, and when il
Ii 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.
Theimmediate query which every reader
will make upon such q revelation Of facts,
| is: What causes this increase? This is a
difficult question to answer. The nature
OF the climate, the habits OF life, the adul.
teration OF foods and liquors, all undoubt-
eddy contribute; but no immediate cause
can be certainly assigned. Often before
the victim knows It the disease has begun.
Its approaches are 80 stealthy and its
symptoms so obscure that they cannot be
definitely forseen aud are only known by
their effects. Any kidney disorder, how
ever slight, is the first stage OF Bright's
disease. But 1t Is seldom that kidney dis
orders can be detected. They do not baye
any certain symptoms. Mysterious weari-
ness; an unusual appetite; periodical head
aches; occasional nausea; uncertain pains;
loss OF vigor; lack OF nerve power; irregu.
larity Of the heart; disordered daily habits;
imperfect digestion-all these and many
other symptoms are the indications Of kid
ney 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 disease is as certain to
follow diseased kidneys as decomposition
follows death.
1t is high time the Doctors in this lard
who have been unable to control kidney
troubles, should be aroused and compelled
10 find some remedy, or acknowledge one
already found. The suffering public needs
help and cannot await the tardy action OF
any hair.splitting code or incorrectly for
INFLATED theories. II the medical world
has no certain remedy for this terrible dis
ease let them acknowledge It and seek for
one outside the pale Of their profession.
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 longingly looking.
The above quotation from the New York
Tribune is causing considerable commotion,
as it seems to lift the covei 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
physicians so successfully cope with them
may well awaken the greatest dread OF
every one who has the slightest symptoms.
II is fortunate, however, that the surest re-
lief Is often found where, possibly, least
and that there is aspecific 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
serious kidney troubles even after
hope had been abandoned; but in
common with most people We have dis.
credited them. Quite recently, however, u
number Of prominent and well known men
have come out voluntarily and stated over
their signatures that they were completely
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 emitting it to be classed
above proprietary articles generally; but
that 1t had accomplished 80 much in check
ing the ravages OF kidney disease is not 80
generally known. Its great worth has been
shown not only by the cures 1t has effected,
but also because a number OF base imita-
tons have appeared in the market, fraud:
ulently claiming the valuable qualities OF
the original Safe Cure. II it were not val.
liable, it would not be initiated.
The above may seem like an ultra en-
dorsement Of apopular remedy but 1t is
not one whit stronger than the facts admit.
Whatever assists the world toward health
and consequent happiness, should receive
the hearty endorsement Of the press and
all friends Of humanity. 1t is on precisely
this principle that the foregoing statement
is made and it merits the careful consider
alton OF every thinking reader.
