To the Readers of TIVE PaLArKA NEWS:
In common with many publishers and
editors, we have been accustomed to
have seen in our columns as merely
adroit advertising.
Consequently we feel justified in TAX
ing the liberty of printing a few points
from a private letter recently received
from one of our largest patrons, as "a
sort of confession of faith to our yead-
ers. We quote:
I'VE have convinced ourselves that by
telling what we know To be true. we have
produced at last permanent eoHrictiO1l
in the public mind Nine years ago we
stated what the national disease of this
country was, and that il was rapidly
cTeasing. Five years ago we stated that
a markell check had been given it,
IT he statistics of one of the largest
life insurance companies of this country
shows that in 1888 and 1884, the mortal
ity from kidney disorders did not in
crease over the previous years; other
companies stated the same thing. 1t is
not presumptuous for us to claim credit
for checking these ravages-
''Seven years ago we stated that the
condition of the kidneys was the key to
the condition of health: within the past
five years all careful life insurance com
panies have conceded the truth of this
statement, for, whereas, ten years ago,
chemical analysis to determine the con-
dition of the kidneys was not required,
to-day millions of dollars an risks are
refused, because chemical examination
discovers unsupported diseases of the
kidneys.
mime years ago we stated that the
ravages of Bright's Disease were insig
nificant compared with other unsus-
pected disorders of the kidneys of many
misleading names; that ninety-three per
cent. of human ailments are attributa-
bic to deranged kidneys, which fills the
blood with uric acid, or kidney poison,
which causes these many fatal diseases.
THE uric acid, or kidney poison, is
the real cause Of the majority of cases
of paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease,
commissions, pneumonia, consumption
and insanity; over half the victims of
consumption are first the victims of dis
eased kidneys.
''When the recent death of an honored
ex-official Of the United States was an
| nOunced, his physician said that al
| though he was suffering from Bright's
| Disease that was not the cause of death.
He was not frank enough to admit that
| the apoplexy which overlook him in his
| bed, was the fatal effect of the kidney
| poison in the blood, which had eaten
| away the substance of the arteries and
brain; nor was Logans phyicians honest
| enough to state that his fatal rheuma-
tism was caused by kidney acid in the
blood.
| If the doctors should state in official
reports the original cause of death, the
people of this country would be alarmed,
| yea, nearly panic stricken, at the fearful
mortality from kidney disorders"
/ The writers of the above letter give
these facts to tine public simply to Justify
the claims that they hare made, that IF
the kidneys and liver are kept in a
healthy condition by the use of Warn
er's safe cure, which hundreds of thOus-
ands have proved to be- specific when
all others failed, and that has received
the endorsement of the highest medical
talent in Europe, Australia and America,
/ many a life would be prolonged
and the happiness of the people pre-
| served. 1t is successful with so many
different cases because it, and it alone,
can remove the uric acid from the blood
through the kidneys"
/ Our readers are familiar with the
/ preparation named.
| Commendation thereof has often ap-
peared in our columns.
We believe it to be one of the best, If
| not the best ever manufactured. We
know the proprietors are men of char
acter and influence.
| We are certain they have awakened
a widespread interest in the public
mind concerning the importace of the
kidneys. We believe with them that
they are the key to health, and that for
their restoration from disease and main
tenance in health, there is nothing equal
| to this great remedy.
| The propr'etors say they ''do not glory
in this universal prevalence of disease,
but having started out with the purpose
of spreading the merits of Warner S
safe cure before the world, because ii
cured our senior proprietor, tcho icas
| gtren up by doctors as incurdbie, we feel
| it our duty to state the facts and leave
the public to its own differences. We
point to our claims. and to their public
and universal rerifcation with pride,
| and If the public does not believe what
we say. we tell them to ask their friends
and neighbors what they think about
| our preparations"
As stated above, we most cordially
commend the perusal of this correspon-
dence by our readers, believing that in
so doing we are fulfilling a simple pub
| lie obligation.
