| Show I l A LESSON VITH A MORAL When will Our Eye be Opened to This Great National Calamity The year 1886 played sad havoc with many prominent men of our country V V Many of them died without warning warn-ing passing away apparently in the full flush of life Others were sick V but a comparatively compara-tively short time We turn to our files and are astonis ied to find that most of them died of apoplexy of paralysis oi nervous prostration malignant blood humor of Brights disease of heart disease of kidney disease of rheumatism or of pneumonia pneu-monia It is singular that most of our prominent men did of these disorders Any journalist who watches the telegraph tele-graph reports will be astonished at the numer of prominent victims of these disorders Many statements have appeared in V the effect our paper with others to that the diseases that earned off so many prominent men in 1SS6 are really one disease taking different names according to the location of the fatal effects When a valuable horse perishes it becomes the nine days talk of the sporting world and yet thousands of ordinary horses are dying every day their aggregate loss is enormous and yet their death creates no comment So it is with individuals The cause of death of prominent men creates comment especially when it can be shown thatone unsuspected disease carries offmost of them and yet vast numbers of ordinary men and women die before their time every yearfrom the same cause It is said if the blood is kept free from uric acid that heart disease paralysis nervous prostration pneumonia pneu-monia rheumatism and many cases of consumption would never be known This uric acid we are told is the waste of the system and it is the duty of the kidneys to remove this waste We are told that if the kidneys are maintained in perfect health the uric kidney acid is kept out of the blood and these sudden and universal univer-sal diseases caused by uric acid will I in a large measure disappear But how shall this be done It is folly to treat effects If there is any I known way of getting at the cause that way should be known to the public We believe that Warners safe cure of which so much has been written and so much talked of by the public generally is now recognized by impartial physicians and the public pub-lic as the one specific for such diseases Because public attention has been directed to this great remedy by means of advertising some persons have not believed in the remedy We cannot see how Mr Warner could immediately benefit the public any other way and his valuable specific I should not be condemned because some nostrums have come before the I public in the same way any more than that all doctors should be condemned con-demned because so many ot them are incompetent It is asooni hing V what goodtopinlpns y tear on every side of thatgreat remedy and public opinion thus based upon an actual experience has all the weight and importance of absolute truth At this time of the year this uric cid in the blood invites pneumonia and rheumatism and there is not a man who does not dread these monsters mon-sters of disease but he need have no fear of them we are told if he rid the blood the uric acid cause These words are strong and may V BoumLlike ani advertisement and be rejected as such unthinking pjeoV pie butwellieve they are the truth and as such should be spoken by I every truthloving newspaper |
