1t is q privilege every newspaper re
serves TO itself TO criticlse, adversely j
needs be, for the public's benefit, any
thing in which the public is deeply inter
ested.
It ia the custom of Ii. III. Warner &
Co., proprietors Of the renowned Kidney
and liver cure, better known as war
ner's Safe Cure" to flood the country
and especially the postotlces, with medi
| cal phamplets. The writer has taken the
| liberty to examine one of these marvellous
! little books, and finds food for criticism,
but before INDUCING 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 carried of in
this country by chronic kidney disease
than by any other one malady except
consumption. Thompson.
Second-Deaths from such diseases are
increasing at the rate OF 25O per cent. q
Observation-Disclosures.
Third-Bright's Disease has no symp-
toms Of its own, and may long exist with
out the knowledge Of the patient or prac-
titioner, as no pain will be felt IN the
kidneys or their vicinity. Roberts.
Fourth-In the fatal cases-and most
cases have hitherto been fatsl-thes ymp'
toms Of diseased kidneys will frat appear
in extremely different organs OF the body
as stated above.-Thompson.
Fifth-Only when the disease has
reached its final and fatal stages may tn
usual symptoms Of albumen ana tube
casts appear in the water, and Will great
pain rack the diseased organs.-Thomp-
son.
Sixth-Bright's Disease, which usually
has three stages of development, Is a
universal disease in England and Amer
lea. Roberts and Edwards.
Thomps IN is authority for saying that
more adults are carried off in this o u
try by kidney disease than any other
except consumption. Under
Warmers Safe Cure" article on Con
sumption, we find a paragraph claiming
10 be a quotation from a publication
issued by Bromp on Hospital for Con
London, EDgIand which states
thai so per cent. of the patients Of that
institution have unsupported kidney dis
order DR.. Herman Brehmer, an emf
nent German authority, also says that
Consumption is always due 10 deficient
nutrition of the lungs, because of bad
blood.
Medical science can no longer dispute
the fact tina. the kidneys are the principal
blood purifying organs Of the human
system, and if they are diseased and ,hus
fail to expel the uric acid poison or the
waste matter of the blood, as the blood
passes through these two great organs,
tue Safe 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 fra'e,nity doc or
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 ono well told is enough for
the time being. People as a rule, nova.
days, go TO their newspaper for informa-
ton, and we believe such truths as WI
have instanced could be proclaimed
therein more advan,agcously TO the p Id
lie and much more beEeacially to t1e pro.
