LESSONS FROM LIFE.
A Great National Calamity-What 1t
 Teaches-

The last few years have played sad havoc with many prominent men of our country.
 Many of them died without warning, passing away apparently Tn the full flush of life.
 Others were sick but comparatively short time. We turn to our files and are astonished to find that most oi them died of apoplexy, of paralysis, of nervous prostration. of malignant blood humor, of bright's disease, of heart diseast, ot kidney disease, of rheumatism or of pneumonia.
 IL is -ingular that most of our promi- nent m n die Of these disorders. Any journalist who watches the telegraph re- ports. will be astonished at the number i prominent victims oi these disorders. Many statements have appeared in our paper with others to the effect that the diseases that carried off so many prom inent men in 1887, are really one disease, taking different names according to the location of the fatal effects. When a valuable horse perishes, it be- comes the nine days talk of the sport ing world. and vet thousands of ordinary horses are dying every day, their aggre- gate loss Is enormous, and yet their death creates no comment. So it is with individuals. The cause of death oi prominent men creates com ment, especially when it can be shown that one unsuspected disease carries off most of them, and yet "vast numbers of ordinary men and women die before their time every year from the same cause" !! It is said II the blood IS kept free from uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis, nervous prostra.on, pneumonia, rheu- matism, and many cases of consumption, would never be known. This uric acid, we are told, l. the waste of the system, and il is the duty of the kidneys to re- move this waste.
 We are told that ii the kidneys are maintained in perfect health, the uric, kidney, acid is kept out of the blood, and these sudden and universal diseases caused hy uric acid will, in large meas ure disappear.
 But how shall this be done? It is folly to treat effects. If there Is any known way getting at the cause, that way should be known to the public. We be- lieve that Warmers safe cure, of which 90 much has been written, and so much talked of by the public generally, is now recognized by impartial physicians and the public as the one specific for such diseases.
 Because public attention has been di- rected to this great remedy by means of advertising, some persons have not be- lieved in the remedy. We cannot see how Mir. Warner could immediately ben eft the public in any other way, and his valuable specific should not be con demncd because some nostrums have come before the public in the same way, any more than that all doctors should be condemned because so many of them are incompetent.
 It is astonishing what good opinions you hear on every side, of that great remedy, and public opinion thus based upon an actual experience, has all the weight and importance of absolute truth.
 Al this time of the year, the uric acid in the blood invites pneumonia and rheuma- tism. and there Is not a man who does not dread these monsters of disease; but he need have no fear of them We are told, ii he rid the blood of the uric acid cause.
 These words are strong, and may sound like an advertisement, and be re- jected as such by minimizing people, but we believe they are the truth, and as such should be spoken by every truth loving newspaper.
