LESSONS FROM LIFE.
A Great National Calamity-What L,
Teaches.

A Great National Calamity-What 1,
Teaches.
The last few years have played SD
| havoc with many prominent men Of our
Country.
Many of them died without warning,
passing sway apparently IN the full flush
q, of life.
Others were sick but comparatively
snort time. We turn our files and are
sstonished to find that most of them died
OF spoplexy, of paralysis, of nervous
] prostrstion, OF malignant blood humor,
! OF bright's disease, OF heart disease, of
kidney disease, OF rheumatism or of pneu-
monia.
II is singular that mos. of our promi-
nent men die of these disorders. Any
!ournaiist who watches the telegraph re-
ports, will be astonlshed at the number
of prominent victims of these disorders.
Msny statements have appeared in cur
paper with others to the effect that the
diseases that carried Of so 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, II 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 prolAinent men creates com
ment, especially when il can be shown
that one unsusnfctea disease carries of
| most of them, and yetssEast numberssbf
ordinary men anaswomen die astesHshsir
time every yesr from the same,cause"
II Is satd i the blood is kept free from
uric acid, init. heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prossrssion, pneumonia, rheu-
matism, and many cases of consumption,
would never br known. This uric acid,
we are told. is-She waste of the system,
apd Y isrthe duly of the kidneys to re-
mogef his sssste.
Wasage told that II the kidneys are
maintAlngG in perfect health, the uric,
kidneys aciasis kept our Of the blood, and
these feuddensssd universal diseases
causedsby uric acid will, in large meas
ure disappear.
But how shall this be done2 1t is folly
to treat effects. II there is any known
way Of gssting at the cause, that way
should be Known TO the public. We be-
lieve snst' Waggsr's safe cure, OF which
co Hi0tn ues UStn WrllltOj ana SO MuCn
tslkedrof by the public generally, is now
recognized by impartial physicians sad
thepupfseHs the one specific for such dis
eaees.
Racause psblies attention has been d.
reosed to this gseat remedy by means Of
advssEsing, some Persons have not be
lievedis the remedy. We cannot see how
Mr.. Warner could Immediately bene fit e
public in any other way, and his valuable
specific should not be condemned be
cause 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 sre in
competent.
1t is Astonishing Whist good opinions
you hear on every side, of that great rem
edy, end public opinion thus based upon
an actual experience, has sll the weight
and importance OF absolute truth.
At this time of the year the uIic acid in
the blood invites pneumonis and rheuma-
tism, and there is not man VINO does not
dread these monsters Of disease; but he
need have no fear OF them, we are told,
II 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 unthinkin people, but we believe
they are the truth, and as such should be
spoken by every truth-loving newspaper.
