The Ounce of Prevention.

Cnser the above heading ths New Yorl
Word OF FEB. Lsh- contains an editorial,
I of which the following are q few extracts :
Physicians and GnprUfeSsionad men Of
sense agree that IL people would take a Little
I OF the pans 70 prevent disease that they Do
TO have i cured tha. the civilized world
would be much less ike n vast hospital than
/ il IS now. . But the .dea Of !. regular
and stated physical examination, even OF
I persons who are apparently well, i an ex-
ee!lent one. The approaches OF pulmonary
complaints. kidney troubles, aud many OF
the other Ills that flesh il heir 10 are SO IN
sldious as lot 70 be apparent TO their ylctiGl.
. In nothing Is it truer THAI in dis
case that an ounce Of prevention Is worth =
pound Of cure"
There IS grea. deal OF wisdom in what the
Wor.I remarks. individuals, Is a rule, do
not give their physical welfare attention.
and It Is only when alarmed b. the presence
OF disease ItseIf-the consciousness Of fail
/ ing strength-that attention is given tosueh
matters
Much has been said and written in recent
| years concerning the extreme and often
times fatal danger which results from de-
lay in the treatment OF kidney diseases
Physicians admit that they can lot control
advanced disease in those organs, and It il
doubtful whether they can cOntrOl It in any
stage without the assistance Of W 4rRer's
Safe Cure, which is established Is the only
known means which will reliably prevent
I and cure this class OF disease.
Besides, it has been definitely a~certainoi
/ that kidney disease - the real cause OF III
health in most cases where consumption,
heart, brain or nervous disorders are sup
posed to exist, and m Consequence Of sUct
belief many fatai MISTAKES have been CON
mitted by our best physicians IN treating
such disorders, which are but the syup
toms Of the disease, whilst they have a.
lowed the real disease disease Of the kid
neys, 10 escape their notice UntI too ate
There is no safer or surer way BY which
health can be preserved and disease ayerted
than the occasional use Of Waruer's Safe
Cure, which Will benefit the engines Of
nfe,r-;hc kidneys, even II they are in
normally healthy stare while the good that
will result in case disease - threatened. or
Is already present, cannot be overestImated.
The most careful examination made by
skiIlfuI physician sometimes Is unreliable,
since this class OF disease is extremely de-
ceptive, and seldom openly mznIfests itself
until the unsuspecting sufferer Is beyond
assistance.
