LESSONS FROM LIFE.
A Great National .CaIsmity-what IL
Tenches.

The last few years have played sad havoc
with many prominent men OF our country.
Many OF them died without warning. mass
ing away apparently I'm the full flush Of life
Others were sick but comparatively short
time We turn 20 our files and are aStonished
TO ind that INST OF them died OF apoplexy,
Of q, paralysis % nervous prostretion, Of ma.
hgnant blood humor, OF Bright's disease, OF
heart disease, OF kidney disease, Of rheuma-
bsm or OF pneumonia.
IL is singular that most of our prominent
men die OF these disorders. Any journalist
who watches the telegraph reports viii be as
tonished at the number of prominent victims
Of these disorders
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with others, 10 the effect that the dis
men in 1887, are really one disease, taking
different names according 70 the location Of
the fatal effects
When valuable horse perishes, IL becomes
the nine days talk OF the sporting world. and
yet thousands OF ordinary horses are dying
every day, their aggregate loss is enormous,
and yet their death creates no comment.
SO IL is with individuals. The cause OF
death OF prominent men creates comment,
especially when II can be shown that one un-
suspected 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"
IL Is said II the blood Is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis, ner
Yous Drostration, pneumonia, rheumatism,
and many cases Of consumption would never
be known. This 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 IL the kidneys are main
tanned in perfect health, the uric, kidney, acid
is kept out OF the blood and these sudden and
universal diseases caused by uric acid will i'm
a large measure, disappear.
But how shall it be donei 1t Is folly to
treat effects. IL there is any known way of
getting at the cause, that way should be
known 10 the public. We believe that War
ners safe cure, OF which so much has been
written, and so much talked of by the public
generally, is now recognized by impartial
physicians and the public ae the one specific
for such diseases.
Because public attention has been directed
TO this great remedy by means of advertis
Ing, some persons have not believed I'm the
remedy. We cannot see how Mr. Warner
could Immediately benefit the public in any
other way, and his valuable specific should
not be condemned because some nostrums
have come before tho public In the same way
any more than that all doctors should be con
demned because 50 many Of them are in
competent.
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.
AT this time OF the year, the uric acid in
the blood invites pneumonia and rheumatism,
and there is not man who does not dread
these monsters Of disease; but he need have
no fear of them, we are told, IL he rid the
blood OF the uric acid cause.
These words are strong, and may sound
like an advertisement, and be rejected as
such by unthinking people, but we believe
they are tho truth, and such should be
spoken by every truth-loving newspaper.
