A Crest National CaIsmiry-what IL
The last few years have played sad havoc
with many prominent men Of our country.
Many OF them died without warning, pass
ing away apparently In the full flush Of life
time. We turn to our files and are astonished
10 find that most OF them died OF apoplexy,
Of paralysis, Of nervous prostration, Of ma
hgnant blood humor, Of Bright's disease, Of
heart disease, OF kidney disease, Of rheuma-
tism 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
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with others, to the effect that the dis
eases that carried of 80 many prominent
men in 1887, are really one disease, taking
different names according to the location OF
the fatal effects.
When a valuable horse perishes, it 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 it is with individuals The cause Of
death of prominent men creates comment,
especially when it can be shown that one un-
suspected disease carries of 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 If the blood is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis, ner.
vous prostration, pneumonia, rheumatism,
and many cases Of consumption would never
be known. This uric acid, we are told, Is the
waste of the system, and it Is the duty Of the
kidneys to remove this waste.
We are told that if the kidneys are main
tanned In perfect health, the uric, kidney, acid
is kept out of the blood, and these sudden and
universal diseases caus,d by uric acid will, in
large measure, disappear.
But how shall it be donei It is folly to
treat effects. II there is any known way Of
getting at the cause, that way should be
known to the public. We believe that War
ner's 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 adyertis
ing, some persons have not believed in 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 the public in the same way,
any more than that all doctors should be con
demned because so 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
- kN1A he h.
blood of the uric acid cause
These words are strong, and may sound
like an advertisement, AMI be rejected as
such by unthinking people, but we believe
they are the truth, and as such should he
spoken by every truth-loving newspaper.
