astonished to find that most of them died
Of apoplexy, of paralysis, of nervous pros
tration, Of malignant blood humor, of
Brights disease, of heart disease, of kid
ney disease, of rheumatism or pneumonia.
1t is singular that most Of our promi-
nent men die of these disorders. Any
journalist who watches the telegraph re-
ports, will be astonished at the number
of prominent victims Of these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with others to the effect that the
diseases that carried of 80 many promi-
nent men in 1887, are really one disease,
taking different names according to the
location of the fatal effects.
When valuable horse perishes, it be-
comes the nine days talk Of the sporting
world, and yet 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 of prominent men creates comment
especially when it can be shown that one
unsupported 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. "
1t is said if the blood is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostration, pneumonia, rheuma
tism, 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 re
move this waste.
We are told that il the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the uric,
kidney, acid is kept out of the blood, and
these sudden and universal diseases
caused by uric acid will, in large meas
ure disappear.
But how shall this be done? lis folly
to treat effects. II there is any known
way of getting at the cause, that way
should be known to the public. We be-
lieve that Warmers safe cure, of which so
much has bsen 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. Wecaunot see how
Mr.. Warner could Immediately benefit
the public in any other way, and his val
liable 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 condemn
ed because so many of them are incom-
petent.
1t 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, if 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 minimizing people. but we be-
lieve they are the truth, and as such
should be spoken by every truth loving
newspaper.

To Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes infiamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells of
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction of the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to heal.
