Newsnaner Criticism.


IL is a privilege every newspaper re-
serves 20 itself 90 cricise, adversely II needs
be for the pubics benefit anything ~
which the public is deeply interested.
II is the custom Of II. II. Warner Il Co,
prOU rietOrs Of the renowned Kidney and
Liver Cure, better known AS warner
Safe Cure, - 10 flood the country, and es
pecially the post Offices, with medical pam
phlets. The writer has taken the liberty 70
examine one Of these marvellous little books
and finds food for crit cisIn, but before in
dulging in it, Will give our readers some
quotations therefrom, from the highest
medical authorities, which we believe
worthy OF consideration Under the head
of mo Distinctive Symptoms Apparent"
we find:
First-More adults are cprr.ed of in this
country by chronic kidney disease than by
any other one malady except consumption.
Thompson.
Second-Deaths from such diseases are
increasing III the rate of $50 per cent "a
decade.-Ed Edwards.
Tn rd.-Brights disease has no symp-
tom of its own, and may long exist with
out tie knowledge Of the patient or practl
toner, 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 VIII first appear
in extremely different organs OF the body as
stated aDove.-Thompsou.
Fifth-Only when the disease has reach
ed it's final and fatal 50 ges may the usual
symptoms of albumen and tube casts APP
pear in the water, and will great pain rack
the diseased organs.-1 thompson.
Sixth -Brights Disease, which usually
has three stages OF deVelt pcmcnt, is a uni
versal disease in England and America.
Roberts and Edwards.
Thompson is authority for saying that
more adults are carried off ia this country
kidney az ar
except consumption. Under Warner
sale Cure" article on Consumption, we
find paragraph claiming 10 be a quotation
from publication issued by BrOmptOn
Hospital for Consumptives, London. Eng
land, which states that - per cent Of the
patients Of that institution have unsus
pected kidney disorder. Dr. Herman
Brehmer, an eminent German authority.
also says that Consumption 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 sys-
TEN, and If they are disc sed 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 rea-
soning of its proprietor holds good.
There is no doubt but that In too many
instances the medical fraternity doctor fOi
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 in formation, and
we believe such truths as we have in
stanced could be proclaimed therein more
advantageOusly 10 the public and much
more beneficially TO the proprietors.
