Newspaper Criticism.

~ Is privilege every newspaper reserves
to itself to critcise, adversely if needs be, for
the public's benefit anything in which the
public is deeply interested.
1t is the custom of III. II. Warner & Co.,
pfoprietors of the renowned Kidney and
Liver Cure, better known as Warmers Safe
Cure, to flood the country, and especially
the post-ofiees, with medical pamphlets.
The writer has taken the liberty to examine
one of these marvellous little books and
hnds food for criticism but before INDUCING
III 1t will give our readers some quotations
therefIonl, from the h ghcst medical author
tiles which we believe worthy of considera-
ton. Under the head Of mo Distinctive
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.
ThomT son.
Second-Deaths from such diseases are
increasing at the rate of $50 per cent. de-
cade Edwards
Thrd--Bright's disease has no symptoms
OF its 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-ln the fatal cascs-and most cases
have hitherto been fatal-the symptoms OF
diseased kidneys will first appear III eX-
tremely different organs of the body as
stated aboye.-Thompson.
Fifth-Only when the disease has reached
its final and fatal stages may the usual
symptoms of albumen and tube casts appear
in the water and will great pain rack the
diseased ans.-Thompson.
Sixth.-Brights Disease which usually
has three stages of Development, is uni
Versal 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 Warner 5
''Safe Cure" article on Consumption we find
paragraph claiming to be a quotation
from a publication issued by Brompton
Hospital for Consumptiyes, London, Eng
land, which states that 81 per cent. Of the
patients OF that institution have uususpected
kidney disorder. DR.. Herman Brchmer,
an eminent German authority; also says that
Consumption is also 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
purifying organs Of the human system, ano
if they are diseased and thus fail to expe
the uric acid poison or the waste matter OIL
the blood, as the blood passes through these
two great organs, the safe Cure" claim i,
correct, and the reasoning OF its proprietor
holds good.
There is no doubt but that in too many
instances the medical fraternity doctor fol
symptoms, instead OF striking at the root o
the disease, and that under this form o
treatment many patients die.
We cannot, however see the necessity o
continually flooding the country with .hesC
advertising medical books; when their 5toTy
once well told is enough for the time being
People as rule nowadays, go to theil
newspapers for information, and we believe
such truths as we have instanced could b.
proclaimed therein more advautageOusly L
the public and much more beneticially Il
