“ONLY AFTER DEATH.”

What Wondgrs the Microscope Has Done for Us. No Longer Obliged to Die to Find Oot “ What s Killing Us.” One of the leading scientific publications states that many people are now using me microscope to discover the real cause of disease in the system, and to detect adulterations of food and medicines. This wonderful instrument has saved many a life. A microscopical test shows, for instance, the presence of albumen, or the life of the blood, in certain derangements of the kidneys, but medicine does not tali ns how far advanced the derangement is, or whether it shall prove fatal The microscope, however, gives ua this knowledge: Bright’s disease, which so many people dread, was not fully known until tne microscope revealed iia characteristics. It greatly aids the physician skilled in its use, in determining how far disease has advanced, and gives a fuller idea of the true structure of the kidney. A noted German scholar recently discovered that by the aid of the microscope, the physician can tell if there is a tumor torming in the system, and if ceriain appearances are seen in the fluids passed, it is proof posi.ive that the tumor is to be a malignant one. If any derangement of the kidneys is detected by the microscope, the physician looks for the development of almost any disease ihe system is heir to, and any indication of Bright’s disease, which has no symptoms of its own and cannot be fully recognized except by the microscope, he looks upon with alarm. This disease has existed for more than 2,0U0 years. It is only until recently that the microscope has revealed to us its universal prevalence and fatal character. Persons who formerly died of what was called general debility, nervous break-down, dropsy, paralysis, heart disease, rheumatism, apoplexy, etc., are now known to have really died of kidney disease, because, had there been no disorder of the kidneys, the chances are that the effects from which they died would never have existed. As the world becomes better acquainted with the importance of the kidnej's in the human economy by the aid of the microscope, there is greater alarm spread through the communities concerning it, and this accounts for the erroneous belief that it is on the increase. As yet neither homeopathist nor allopathist is prepared with a cure for derange 1 kidneys, but the world has long since recognized, and many medical gentlemen also recognize and prescribe Warner’s safe cure for these derangements, and- admit that it is the only specific for the common and advanced forms of kidney disorders. Formerly the true cause of death was discovered only after death. To-day the microscope shows us, iu the water we pass, the dangerous condition of any organ in the body, thus enabling us to treat it promptly and escape premature death. As the microscope in the hands of laymen has revealed many diseases that the medical men were not aware of, so that preparation, like many other discoveries in medicine and science, was found out by laymen outside the medical code; consequently it comes very hard for medical men to indorse and prescribe it Nevertheless. Warner’s safe cure continues to grow in popularity, and the evidences of its effectiveness are seen on every hand. Some persons claim that the proprietors should give the medical profession the formula of this remedy, if it is such a “godsend to humanity,” and let the physicians and public judge whether or not it be so recognized We, however, do not blame them for not publishing the formula, even to get the recognition of the medical profession. The standing of the men who manufacture this great remedy is equal to that of the majority of physicians, and the reason that some doctors give for not adopting and prescribing it—viz.: that they do not know what it 3 ingredients are —is absurd Mr. Warner’s statement—that many of the ingredients are expensive, and that tne desire of the unscrupulous dealer or prescriber to realize a large profit from its manufacture by using cheap or injurious substauces for those ingredients would jeopardize its quality and reputation; and that Warner’s safe cure cannot be mado in small quantities on account of the expensive apparatus necessary in compounding these ingredients—seems to us to be a reasonable ana sufficient one. The universal testimony of our friends and neighbors, and the indisputable evidence that it, and it alone, has complete mastery over all diseases of the kidneys, is sufficient explanation of its extraordinary reputation, and conclusive proof that it is, perhaps, the most beneficent discovery known to scientific medicine since the microscope revealed to us the all-important nature of the organs it is designed to reach and benefit
