Newsnaner CRITICISM.


It is a privilege every newspaper re-
serves to itself to criticise, adversely if
>eds be, for the public's benefit, anything
ia which the public is deeply interested.
tits the custom of II. Fl. Warner & Co.,
proprietors of the renowned Kidney and
Liver Cure, better known as Warmers
SAFE Cure, y to flood the country, and espe-
cially the post-off1ces, with medical pam
phlets. The writer has taken the liberty to
examine one Of these marvellous little
books, and finds food for criticism, but be-
fore INDUCING in it, will give our readers
some quotations therefrom, from the higha
est medical authorities, which we believe
worthy of consideration. Under the head
of mo Distinctive Symptoms Apparent -
we find:
First-More adults are carried off in this
country by chronic kidney disease than by
any other one malady except consumption.

Second-Deaths from such diseases are

Observation-Disclosures.
Third-Brights Disease has no symptoms
Of its own, and may long exist without the
knowledge of the patient or practitioner, as
no pain will be felt IN the kidneys or their
vicinity Roberts.
Fourth-In the fatal cases-and most
cases have hitherto been fatal-the symp-
toms of diseased kidneys will first appear
as stated aboYe.-Thompson.
Fifth Only when the disease has reached
its final and fatal stages may the usual
symptoms of albumeu and tube casts ap-
/ pear in the water, and will great pain rack
the diseased organs. Thompson.
Sixth-Bright's Disease, which usually
has three stages of development, is a uni
versaI disease in England and America
Roberts and Edwards.
ThOmOsOO ia a1I&bOritv for that
more adults are carried off in this country
by kidney disease than any other malady
except consumption. Under Warmers
''Safe Curen article on Consumption, we
find paragraph claiming TO be a quotation
from a publication issued by Brompton Hos
pital for Consumptives, London, England,
which states that 50 per cent. OF the patients
Of that institution have unsupported kidney
disorder. DIR. Herman Brehmer, an emf
nent German authority also says that Con-
sumption is always due to deficient nutri-
ton of the lungs, because of bad blood.
Medical science can no longer dispute the
fact that the kidneys arc the principal blood
purifying organs of the human system, and
if they are diseased and thus fail to expel
the uric acid poison or the waste matter of
the blood, as the blood passes through these
two great organs, the Safe Cure'' claim is
correct, and the reasoning of its proprietor
holds good.
There is no doubt but that in too many in
stances the medical fraternity doctor for
symptoms, instead of striking at the root
of the disease, and that under this form of
treatment many patients die
We cannot, however, see the necessity of
continually flooding the country with these
advertising medical books, when their story
once well told is enough for the time being.
People as rule, now a-days, go to their
newspaper for information, and we believe
such truths as we have instanced could be
proclaimed therein more advantageously to
the public and much more benefcially to the
prOprletOrs.
