LESSONS FROM LIFE.

A Great National Cslamity--What 1t
Teacb.s
The lastffew years have played sad
havoeswith many prominent men Of our.
country.
Many of them died without warning,
passing away apparently in the full
Hash OF life.
Others we're sick but a Comparatively
short lime. We turn to our files and
are, astonishad to find that mostof them
died OF apoplexy. of paralysis, of nerv-
Gus p%rostration, OF malignant blood
humor, of hright's disease, of heart
disease, of kidney disease. of rheuma-
tism or of pneumonia.
s, Il is singular that most of our prom
inont men die of these disorders. Any
journalist who watches the telegraph
reports, will be astonished at the num-
her of prominent victims of these dis
orders.
Many statements have appeared in
cur paper with others to the effect that

prominent men in1SS7, are really n

It is said that if the blood Is kept
free from uric acid, that heart disease,
paralysis, nervous prostration, pneu-
mo2ia. nh sumatisln, and many cases o,
consumption. would never be known.
The uric acid, we are told, .is the waste
of the. system, and IL is the duty of the
kidneys to remove this waste.
We are told that if the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the uric
kidne. acid is kept out of the blood,
and These sudden and universal dis
eases caused by uric acid will, in a
large measure, disappear
But how shaltth his be donep 1t is
FOLLY to treat effects. If there is any
known way of getting at the cause that
way should be known to the public.
We believe that Warmers safe cure, of
hich SO much has been written, and
so n4nch talked of by the public gen.
orally, is now recognized by impartias
physicians and the public as the one
specific for such diseases.
Because public attention has been di
reeted to tifs great remedy by means
OF advertising, some persons have not
believed in the remedy. We cannot
see how Mr.. Warner could immed ate.
