The Shadow Hanging Over New
York City and the COHntry---A Fri
bune Opinion.
The nation has been Mortified at the burning
of Milwaukee hotel, whereby over seventy
lives were lost. THIS event carried terror be-
cause 1t was sudden and appalling; but had the
same disastrous results to life and limb come
silently they would have been unnotced, not
only by the people of tue 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 attracted no at
\ tentlon, nor would they nov did not the
I 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 hJe.
During the past year the enormous increase of
4 certain maladIes Is simply appalling While
1 the total number of deaths has diminished and
1 the death rate on most diseases has decreased
still 1t Is far greater IN one or two serious dsor-
ders than was ever known before. More peo-
pie died in the city of New York in 1882 from
Bright's disease of the kindeys, than from
dlphtherla, smallpox and typhoid fever all
combined! This scarcely seems possible but
1t is true and when it is remembered that less
than one-thiId the actual deaths from Bright's
disease are really reported as such, the raYages
of the malady can be partially understood
The immediate query which every reader will
Is. w
causes this increase? This is a difficult ques-
ton to answer. The nature of the climate, the
habits OF life, the adulteration Of food and
liquors, all undoubtedly contribute; but no i'm
mediate cause can be certainly assigned Often
before the victim knows it the disease has be-
gun. Its approaches are so stealthy and its
symptoms so obscure that they cannot be
definitely foreseen and are only known By their
effects. Any kidney disorder, however slight
Is the first stage of Bright's disease. But it is
seldom that kidney disorders can be detected.
They do not have any certain symptoms
Mysterious WEAKNESS; an unusual appetite:
periodical headaches; occasional nausea: I'M
certain pains; loss Of vigor; lack of nerve
power, Irregularity of tie heart; disordereC
daily habits; imperfect digeston-all these
and many other symptoms are the indications
of kidney disorder even though there may be
no pslu 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 Bflghts disease Is as certain to follow dis
eased Kidneys as decomposition follows DEATH
1t is high time that the Doctors in this land
who have been unable to control kidney trou-
bles, 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-spllt-
ting code or incorrectly formulated theories
If the medical world has 10 certain remedy for
this terrible disease let them acknowledge If
anu seek IOT one OUTSIDE the pale or their pro-
fesslon. Fol 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 III danger are earnestly and long
ingly locking.
The above quotation from the New York
Tribune is causing considerable commotion, as
it seems to lift tie cover from subject that
has become of national importance The
alarming increase of kidney diseases; their IL
sidious beginnings and frightful endings and
the acknowledged inability Of physicians to
successfully cope with them may well awaken
the 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 VIC have discredited
them. Quite recently, however, a number of
prominent and well-known men have come ouV
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 entitling it to be
classed above proprietary articles generally;
but that it had accomplished so much in check
ing the ravages of kidney disease is not 50 gen
orally known. Its great worth has been shown
not only by the cures it has effected. but also
because a number of base limitations have APP
peaIod in the market, frauduently 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 en-
dorsement 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 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 consideration of every think
ing reader.
