Safe Cure, " TO food the country, and cspc-

Of Distinctive Symptoms Apparent"
we find:

Thompson.
Sec 'nd-Deaths from such diseases are
increasing at the rate OF 30 per cent. a

Roberts and Edwards.
Thompson is authority for saying that
more adults are carried OF in this country
oy kidney disease than any other malaGy
except consumption. Under Warmers
safe Cure" article on Consumption, we
find paragraph claiming to b. u quotation
from publication issued by Brompton Hos
pltal for Coasumptives, London, England,
which states that 5? per cent. of the patients
Of that institution have unsUspectcd kidney
disorder. DR.. Herman Brehmcr, an emf
neat German authority also says that Con-
sumption is always due TO deficient nutri-
ton of the lungs, because of bad blood
Medical science can no longer dispute the
fact that the kidneys are the principal blood
y
II they are diseased and thus fail to expcl
the uric acid poison or the waste matter Of
the blood, as the blood passes through these
two great org ms, the Safe Cure claim is
correct, and the reasoning Of is 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
If 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

such truths as we have iustanced could be
proclaimed the 'ein more advantageOusly 20
