Newspaper Criticism.

It is privilege every newspaper reserves to itself to eriticise, adversely II needs be' for the publio's benefit, anything ln which the public is deeply interested. It is the custom of H. H. Warner & Co.,, proprietors of the renowned Kidney and Liver Cure, better known as warmers Safe Cure" to flood ike country, and especially the postofices, with medical pamphlets. The writer has taken the liberty to examine one of these marvellous little books and finds food for criticism, but before indulging in 1t will give our readers some quotations tnere- from, from the highest medical authorities, which we believe worthy of consideration. Under the head of ''No Distinctive Symp- toms Apparent" we find:
 First-More adults are carried on Tn this country by chronic kidney disease tnan oy any other one malady except consumptlon.- Thompson.
 creasing at the rate of two hundred ana nrty per cent. 8 decade.-Edwards. Third-Bright's 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 tnelr vicinity Roberts.
 Fourth-In inc fatal cases-and most cases have hitherto been fatal-the symptoms Of ! diseased kidneys will first appear in extreme, ! ly different organs of the body as stated iabove.-Thompson.
 Fifth-Only when the disease has reached it's final and fatal stages may the usual symp- P | toms of albumen and tube casts appear In I the water, and will great pain rack the ois- ! eased organs.-Thompson.
 Sixth-Bright's disease, which usually has l three stages of development, is universal 1 disease in England and Amerlca.-hooerts l and Edwards.
 1 Thompson is authority for saying that 1 more adults are carried off in this country
 | by kidney disease than any other malady sx-
 \ cept consumption, Under Warmers "Safe
 Cure" article on Consumption we find par
 l agraph claiming to be quotation from
 publication issued by Brompton Hospital for I Consumptives, London, England, which
 states that ffty-two per cent. of the patients ! of that institution have unsupported kidney
 ! disorder. Dr. Herman Brehmer, an eminent 1 German authority, also says that consump. | tion is always due to deficient nutrition of | the lungs because of bad blood. Medical science can no longer dispute the | fact that the kidneys are the principal blood purifying organs of the human system, and | if they are diseased and thus fail to d1spel ! the uric acid poison or the waste matter of ! the blood, as the blood passes through these
 two great organs, the '.Ssfe Cure" claim is | correct, and the reasoning of it's proprietor holds good.
 There is no doubt but that in too many | instances 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 nowadays go to their news paper for information, and we believe such ! truths as We have instanced could be pro- I claimed therein more advantageously to the public and much more bene6oially to the ! proprietors.
