LESSONS FROM LIFE.
Great National Calamity
Teaches.

A Great National ,ty-Whst II
Teaches.
The last few. years have played sl5
havoc with many prominent men of Our
country.
Mary OF them died without warning,
passing away apparently in the full flush
of life.
Others were sick but q comparatively
short time. We turn our files and are
astonished to fud that most of them died
of spoplexy, Of paralysis, Of nervous
prostration, OF malignant blood humor,
of bright's disease, Of heart disease, OF
kidney disease, OF rheumatism or OF pneu-
monis.
1t is singular that most of our promi-
nent men dSsof these disorders Any
journalist whosTatches the telegraph re
ports, will be sstonlshed at the number
Of prominent victims ofsthese disorders.
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with othera To the effect that the
diseases thst csrrfHa Of SO many promi-
nent men in 186BAre really one disease,
taking diferensEsnnes according to the
location OF thgSfatal affects.
When 8 vAnable horse perishes, it be
comes the ilfhe days. talk Of the sporting
world, sn&yet thousands of ordinary
horses are dying every day, their xggre-
gate loss is enormous, and yet their death
creates no comment.
So it Is with individually; The cause Of
death OF prominent men Ecreates COM
ment, especially when it can be shown
that one unsuspected disease carries of
most OF them, and yet "vast numbers Of
ordinary men and women die bst0ge their
time eysFysyaar from the ssme cause."
- It is $50 + the blood is kept free from
uric sGid, that heart disease, p&raIYsis,
nervous prostration, pnepmonif, rheu-

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 II the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the ulic,

these sudden and universal diseases
caused by uric acid will, In large meas
ure disappear.
But how shall this be done? I! is folly
TO treat effects. II there is any known
way Of getting at the cause, that wEy

1t is astonishing what good opinions
you hear On every side, of that great rem
edy, and public opinion thus based upon
an actual experience, has sll the weight
and importance CT absolute truth.
At this time Of the year the uric acid in
the blood invites pneumoRia and rheums-

need have no fear of them, we are told,
If be rid the blood of the uric acid cause.
These words are strong and may sound
like aD advertisement, and be rejected as
such by unthinking people, but we believe
they are the truth, and SIS such should be
spoken by every truth-loying newspaper.
