OUR CONFESSION OF FAITH.

May be Corrected.
To the Readers Of the Press:
In common with many publishers and edi-
tors, we have been accustomed to look upon
certain statements which we have seen in
our columns as merely adroit advertising
Consequently we feel justified in taking
the liberty of printing few points from
private letter recently received from one OF
our largest patrons, as a sort of confession of
faith to our readers. We quote:
''We have convinced ourselves that by tell
ing what we know to be true, we have pro-
duced at last permanent c0Rriction in the
public mind. Nine years ago we stated what
the national disease of this country was, and
that it was rapidly Increasing. Five years
ago we stated that marked cheek had been
given it.
1.-THE statistics of one Of the largest life in
surance companies of this country shows
that in 1883 and 1884, the mortality from kid
ney disorders did not increase over the pre-
vious years; other companies stated the
same thing. 1t is not presumptuous for us
to claim credit for checking these ravages.
Seven years ago we stated that the condi-
ton of the kidneys was the key to the condi-
ton of health; within the past five years all
careful life Insurance companies have con-
ceded the truth of this statement, for, where
as, ten years ago. chemical analysis to deter
mine the condition of the kidneys was not
required, today millions of dollars IN risks
are refused, because chemical examination
discovers unsuspected diseases Of the kid
neys.
mine years ago we stated that the raw
ages Of Bright's Disease were insignificant
compared with other unsupported disorders
of the kidneys of many misleading names;
that ninety-three per cent Of human ailments
are attributable to deranged kidneys, which
fills the blood with uric acid, or kidney poi
son, which causes these many fatal diseases.
1.-THE uric acid, or kidney poison, is the real
cause of the majority of cases of paralysis,
apoplexy, heart disease, commissions, pneu-
monia, consumption, and insanity; over half
the victims of consumption are first the vic
tins Of diseased kidneys.
when the recent death Of an honored ex-
official of the United States was announced,
his physician said that although he was suf-
fering from Bright's Disease, that was not
the cause of death. He was not frank enough
to admit that the apoplexy which overlook
him in his bed, was the fatal effect Of the
kidney poison in the blood, which had eaten
away the substance Of the arteries and brain
nor was Logan's physician honest enough to
state that his fatal rheumatism was caused
by kidney acid in the blood.
'If the doctors would state in official re-
ports the origiaal cause of death. the people
of this country would be alarmed, yea, near
ly panic stricken, at the fearful mortality
from kidney disorders"
The writers of the above letter give these
facts to the public simply to justify the
claims that they hare made, that "if the
kidneys and liver are kept in healthy con-
ditlon by the use of Warmers safe cure,
which hundreds of thousands have proved to
be a specific, when all others failed, and that
has received the endorsement Of the highest
medical talent in Europe, Australia, and
America, many life would be prolonged
and the happiness of the people preserved.
1t is successful with so many different cases
because it, and it alone, can remove the uric
acid from the blood through the kidneys.
Our readers are familiar with the prepare
ton named.
Commentator thereof has often appeared
in our columns.
We believe it to be one of the best. if not
the best ever manufactured. We know the
proprietors are men of character and infiu-
ence.
We are certain they have awakened wide
spread interest in the public mind concern
| ing the Importance of the kidneys. We be-
lieve with them that they are the key to
health, and that for their restoration from
disease and maintenance in health, there is
!, nothing equal to this great remedy
The proprietors say they do not glory in
this universal prevalence of disease, but hay-
ing started out with the purpose of spread
ing the merits of Warmers safe cure before
the world, because it cured oar senior propri-
etor. aoho lcas giren up by doctors as iRcurd-
| ble we feel it our duty to state the facts and
leave the public to its own differences. We
point to our claims. and to their public and
unirersGl rerifcdtion with pride, and if the
public does not believe what we say, we tell
them to ask their friends and neighbors what
they think about our preparations"
AS stated above, we most cordially com
mend the perusal of this correspondence by
our readers, believing that in so doing, we
are fulfilling simple public obligation.
