Newspaper Criticism.

Y is g privilege every newspaper reserves
20 Itself 70 critlcise, adversely il needs be,
for the public's benefit, any thing in which
the public is deeply Interested
u IS tne custom Of H. III. Warner e Co.,
proprletors Of the renowned Kidney and
L1lverC Cure, better known as ssW arner's Safe
Cure !" 70 flood the country, and especially
the postron1ces, with medical pamphlets.
Inc writer has taken the liberty to examine
one @ THESE marvellous little books, and
mas ! 1000 Tor criticism, but before indulg-
ing 10 y, Will give our readers some quota
lions therefrom, from the highest medical
autnorlties, which we believe worthy Of con-
slderatlon. Under the head Of .sNo Dis
unctlve symptoms Apparent, . we find:
flrst-More adults are carried of in this
country by chronic kidney disease than by
any other one malady except consumption.
-Thompson
Second-Death from such diseases are in
creaslng ct the rate Of $50 per cent. q
decade.-Edwards.
IhIrd-Bright's Disease has no symptoms
OF It's 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
IN extremely different organs Of the body %
stated above Thompson.
Fifth Only when the disease has reached
its final and fatal stages may the usual
symptoms Of albumen aud tube casts APP
| pear I'M 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 in this country
by kidney. disease than any other malady
except consumption. Under Warmers

ed kidney disorder. DR.. Herman Brehmer.
an eminent German authority, also saws
that Consumption is always due to deficient
nutrition Of the lungs, because Of bad blood.
Medical science can no longer dispute the
TACT that the kidneys are the principal blood
purifying organs OF the human system, and
II 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 y claim is
correct, and the reasoning of it's 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 rule, nowadays, 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 beneficially to the
proprietors .-Er
