II Is privilege every newspaper reserves
to itself 70 criucise, adversely if needs be,
for the publics benefit, any thing in which
the public is deeply interested.
II is the custom of II. II. Warner & Co,
proprietors of the renowned Kidney and
Liver Cure, better known as Warmers Safe
Cure" 10 fisod the country, and especially
the post-offices, with medical pamphlets.
The writer has taken the liberty 10 examine
one OF these marvellous little books, and
finds food for criticism, but before iudulg
ing IN it, will give our readers some QUOTA
tons therefrom, from the highest medical
authorities, which we believe worthy of con-
sideration. Under the head of 'So Dis
tlnctive symptoms Apparent we find:
First-More adults are carried of in tbs
country by chronic kidney disease than by
any other one malady except consumption.
Thompson.
Second-Death from such diseases are il
creasing at the rate Of $50 per cent. .
decade.-Edwards.
Third-Brights Disease has no symptoms
Of its own, and may lo-y 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 viii first appear
in extremely different organs Of the body as
stated above.-Thompson.
Fifth-Only when the disease has reached
its final and fatal stages NAV the usual
symptoms of albumen aud 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 universal
disease in England and America. Roberts
and Edwards.
Thompson is authority for saying that
more adults are carried off "a this country
by kidney disease than any ether malady
except consumption. Under Warmers
Safe Cure artIs.e on Consumption we
find paragraph Claiming TO be a quotation
from a publication issued by Brompton
Hospital for Consumptiyes, London, En-
gland, which states that 50 per cent. Of the
patients of that Institution have unsuspect-
ed kidney disorder. DR.. Herman r. ner,
an eminent German authority, avs
that Consumption IS always due 10 cient
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 expel
the uric acid poison or the waste matter of
the blood, as tue 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 can not, 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 a rule, nowadays, go 20 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 benehcially to the
/ proprietOrs.-
