1t is q privilege every newspaper re,
serves to itself to criticise, adversely Il
needs be, for the public's benefit, any.
thing in which she public is deeply in,
terested.
1t is the custom of II. b. Warner &
Co., proprietors of the renowned Kidney
and Liver Cure, better known as WAR,
per's Safe gure," to flood the country
and especially the postofices, with medi
cal pamphlets. The writer has taken the
liberty TO examine one of these marvellous
little hooks, and finds food for criticism,
but before indulging mi will give some
quotations therefrom, from the highest
medical authorities, which we believe
verify of consideration. Under the head
ONO Distinctive symptom Apparent"
we find:
First-More adults arc carried off in
this country by chronic kidney disease
than by any other one malady excep.
consumption .-Thompson.
Second-Deaths from such diseases are
increasing at the rate OF $50 per cent. q
decade.-Edwards.
Tnird-Brights Disease has no symp
toms of Its own, and may long exist with,
out the knowledge of the patient or prac.
t%itloner, as no pain will be felt in The
kidneys or their observation-disclosures.
Fourlh-ln the fatal casca-and mos
cases have hitherto been fatal-the symp.
toms of diseased kidneys will 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 may the
usual symptoms of albumen and tub
casts appear in the wafer, and will erea'
pain rack tho diseased organs.-Thomp
son.
Slxth-BIight's Disease, which usually
has three stages of development, is ,
universal disease in England and Amer
ca.-Roberts and Edwards.
Thompson is authority for saying tina
more adults are carried off III this coun
try by kidney disease than any other nal
ady except consumption. Under War
ners Safe Cure" article on Consump
ZION, we find a paragraph claiming to bt
= quotation from a publication issued by
Brompton Hospital for Consumptives
London, England, which states that 5.
per cent. of the patients of that institu
ton have unsupported kidney disorder
DR.. Herman Brehmer, an eminent Ger
man authority, also says that Consump
ton is always due to deficient nutrition
of the lungs, because of bad blood.
Medical science can no longer; disput,
the fact that the kidneys are the princi
pal blood purifying organs of the huma,
system, aud if they are diseased and thu
fail to expel the uric acid poison or tn,
waste matter of the blood, as the bloot
passes through these two great organs
the "Safe Cure" claim is correct, and tn,
reasoning of its proprietor holds good.
There is no doubt but that in too man,
instances the medical fraternity docto
for symptoms, instead Of striking at tn
root of the difease, and that under thi
form of treatment many patients die.
We cannot, however. see the necessit,
of continually looding the country witt
these advertising medica, books, wheI
their story once well told is enough 70
the time being. People as a rule, nova
days, go to their newspaper for informs
ton, and we believe such truths rs
have instanced could be proclaime
therein m advantageously to the pub
lie and much more beneficially to the prc
