STARTLING STATISTICS.
The Shadow Hanging Over New York City
and the Entire Country Tribune Opinion.

and the Entire Country-A Tribune Opinion.
The nation has been Mortified at the burning
of Milwaukee hotel, whereby over seventy
lives were lost. This event carried terror
because it was sudden and appalling; but had
the same disastrous results to life and limb
come silently they would have been unnoticed,
not only by the people of the land but also by
the very community i'll which they occurred.
Fatal events of far worse nature have taken
place in this very city, but they have attracted
no attention, nor would they now 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 deaths
of this city is startling comment on its lJe.
During the past year the enormous increase OF
certain maladies is simply appalling. While
the total number of deaths has diminished
and the death rate on most diseases has de-
creased still it is far 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 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 onethird the actual deaths from
Bright's disease are really reported rs such,
the ravages of the malady can be partially
understood.
The immediate query which every reader
will make upon such revelation of facts, Isl:
What causes this increaseg This is q difficult
question to answer. The nature of the elm
ate, the habits Of life, the adulteration Of
foods and liquors, all undoubtedly contributes;
but no immediate cause can be certainly
! assigned. Often before the victim knows it
the disease has begun. Its approaches are so
stealthy and its symptoms SO obscure that
they cannot he definitely foreseen and are
only known by their effects. Any kidney
disorder however slight, is the first stage of
Biight's disease. But it is seldom that kidney

any certain symptoms. Mysterious weariness;
an unusual appetite; periodical headaches;
occasional nausea; uncertain pains; loss of
vigor; lack of nerve power irregularity of the
heart; dsordercd daily habits; imperfect di-
gestion-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 III that portion of the body.
The serious nature of these troubles may be
understood from the fact that Bright's disease
is rs certain to follow diseased kidneys ~
decomposition follows death.
1t 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 public needs help and cannot
await the tardy action of any air-splitting
code or incorrectly formulated theories Ii
the medical world has no certain remedy for
this terrible disease let them acknowledge it
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

The alarming increase of kidney Diseases;
their insidious beginnings and frightful end
ings and the acknowledged inability of phys-
clans to successfully cope with them may well
awaken the greatest dread of every one who
has the slightest symptoms. 1t is fortunate,
however, that the surest relief is often found
where, possibly least expected, and that there
is 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 to have been cured of
serious kidney. troubles even after hope had
been abandoned; but in common with most
people we have discredited them. Quite re-

well-known men have come out voluntarily

We're completely cured by the use of Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Most people
have been aware that this medicine has an
unusual standing al one emitting it to be
classed above proprietary articles generally;
but that it hal accom- lished so much in check
ing the ravages of kidney disease is not so
generally known. Its great worth has been
shown not only by the cures it has effected
but also because number of base limitations
have appeared in the Market fraudulently
claiming the valuable qualities of the original
Safe Cure. If it were not valuable, it would
not be initiated
| The above may seem like an ultra endorse
ment of popular remedy but it is not one
whit stronger than the facts admit Whatever
assists the world toward health and consequent
happiness, should receive the hearty endorse
ment of the press and all friends of humanity
1t is on precisely this principle that the fore
going statement is made and it merits the
careful consideration Of every thinking reader.
