WAR COSTS.

according TO the publicists who have al EN- pied
to reduce its iTeIncHduoUs expense in dollars
and cents 10 fgufes. IL also cost the lives Of
mare than half million Of men.
There is another cost no less terrible which
is net so apparent at first. and that ia the deg
radiation OF the Nations health by the effect Of
war upon its survivors.
The wars OF Napoleon redHred tho average
height of the French nation inch. This
Indicates in measure the fearful result of
war upon those who survive its campaigns.
In the case Of the American people h o such
result has as yet been observed in the case
of the French, but another and even more
serions National calamity is pressing itself
upon the attention of every man in public lie
and every medical student aud practitioner in
the country.
This is lbe manifestation as time passes of
the seeds of the disease in our war veterans.
This phenomenon is traced 10 tho physical
exposure, the oycrtaxing of strength, the
mental excitement to which is sab
.jeeted in battle the loss of sleep on picket and
during l0Eg marches.
All the vital organs were taxed to the utmost.
and while the buoyancy of youth prevented
the fuli effects of this abuse of the constitu-
| tional forces at the time, it is telling now.
Thus men who were 10 tho army are break
ing down at fifty instead of seventy.
The malaria of the CAMP the excitement of
battle. tho WEAKNESS Of the march, are now
manifest.
We see men who served in the army with
chaiky saliow complications, beard growing
tiiin stiffness of limbs, pain in tho back, feet
dragging AS they walk, unsteady gait, unnat-
nrai appetite, momentary dizziness. lassitude,
and sometimes without any we'll defined symp-

The nervous strain and the malaria Of the
Southern swamps arc doing their work.
The kidneys are giving way. 1t may be the
horrible Brights disease; it may be Addison's
disease; il may he diabetes.
The most delicate organ in the system, as
| well as the hardest worked, is being under
| mined and must soon fail if not assisted.
Fortunately for mankind safe. cheap and
ready means of relief has at last heen found
1t is Warmers SAFE Cure, which has been used
by more officers and soldiers of the army, Gov
ernmcnt officials and public men, than any
other known medical discovery Of the present
century. From the mass of statements proving
this assertion beyond question. we give one. it
/ being that Of well known gentleman at Wash
ington. 1t is as follows:
In September, 1881, being employed in the
Treasury Department of the United States,
was designated for special business by the At
forney General, and in company with Col. R
NJ. Douglas, son of the late Senator Stephen A.
Douglas visited the mountain region of North
Carolina. While endeavoring to make the as
cent of Roane Mountain we were caught in 8
severe storm and were obliged to remain with
out shelter all night. / contracted severe
cold. which no doubt aggravated disease of the
kidneys, the seeds of which were already in
my system. j continued to run down after my
return to Washington and in November several
Of the best physicians of the city pronounced
my case severe one of kidney disease,
with a tendency toward Bright's disease

l could not straighten up. Was also swollen
and in great pain in the entire abdominal re-
gion, and had films over the eyes and tempo
rary loss Of memory. The passage Of water
was attended with severe pain and accompanied
with blood, pus and very offensive matter. In
this condition Rev. ]. l.. Rankin, d. d., now
President of Howard University, recommended
the use Of Warmers SAFE Care, and / COM
menced taking this remedy early in February,
1882. Within three days after / commenced
taking it the swelling about my abdomen was
reduced and my joints became Timber, so that

than had done for three months. 1continued
to improve rapidly, and was able in April to

ton Of one per cent Of albmea against 80 per cent.

turn in full vigor to my business and have
since had no return Of kidney trouble, being
in better health than eoer before IN mig life"
The well-known Rev. J. E. Rankin, LID,
President of Howard University, confirmed the
above wonderful statement in the following
words:
"The statement made by Mr.. Wilkinson is
according to my recollection of his case, and
his is only one of the many instances of great
benefit from this remedy which l have per-
sonally observed"
Col Thomas G. Hensey. late Colonel, 54th
N. Y. Volunteers, in speaking of Mr.. Wilkin-
sons cure. said:
Having known Mr.. j. FL. Wilkinson for
many years, l take pleasure in stating that his
recovery from a severe illness in 1882 was
wonderful surprise to all his friends. and was
due entirely to the use of Warmers SAFE Cure
according to printed directions. / have my
self used this remedy at various times with
great benefit. and cheerfully recommend it to
sufferers from kidney and liver diseases"
Statements so outspeken as these need no
comment They show, unquestienably. that for
counteracting the great strain which camp life
and real life always bring, for restoring vitality
and rendering declining years joyous, moth
ing has ever been known which can equal this
great SAFE Cure. Its Endorsement by the medi-
cal profession, scientists, chemists and Govern
ment officials is universal, and it is producing
more results and restoring more people to health
and happiness than anything ever known be-
fore in the history of the world.
