INJUSTICE CORRECTED.

Convincing Verification of Widecast Public Statements. »" In common With many publishers and editors, we have been accustomed to look upon certain statements whteh we have seen in our columns as merely adroit advertising. Consequently we feel justified m faking the liberty ot printing a few points from apnvate leifor reoent y received from one of out largest patrons, us a sort of confession of faith to our readers. We quote: , “Wo have convinced ourselves that by telling what wo know to-be true, wo have produce 1 at least a permanent conviction iu the public mind. Seven years ago we stated what tho national disease of jlfia..country woe, and thfUitwS9°~n»f«dty ago we stated that a marked, cheek had been given it “the statistics of one of the largest life-in-surance companies of this couniry show that iu ISS3 an.l 18S4 the mortality from kidney disorders did not increase over the previous vearß; other companies stated the same thing. It is not prosufuptuous for us to oln.rn credit for checking those ravages. “Seven years ago we stated that the condition of the kidneys was the key to the condition of health; within tho past five years all careful life insurance companies have conceded the truth of this statement, for, whereas, ten years ago, chemical analysis to determine the’condition of the kidueys was not requirod, to-day millions of dollars in risks are refused, because chemical examination discovers un-. suspected diseases of the kidneys. “Seven years ago we stated that the ravages of Bright’s iDiseaso were insignifica it compared with other unsuspected disorders of the kidneys of many misleading namos; that ninety-three per cent of human ailments are attributable to deranged kidneys, which fills tho blood with uric acid, or kidney poison, which causes these many fatal diseases. “the uric acid, or kidney poison, is the real cause of the majority of cases of paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, convulsions, pneumonia, consumption, and insanity; over half the victims of consumption are first the victims of diseased kidueys. “When the recent death of an honored oxofficial' of tho United btates was announced, his physician said that although he was suffering from Bright’s Disease, that was not the cause of death. He was not frank enough to admit that the apoplexy which overtook hifn in his bed was the iataj effect of tho kidney poison in the blood, which had eaten away the substance of tho arteries and brain; nor was Logan’s physician honest enough to state that his fatal rheumatism was caused by kidney acid in tho blood. “If the doctors would state in official reports the original cause of death, the people of this country would bo alarmed, yea, nearly panicstricken, at tho 1 earful mortality from kidney disorders."

The writers of tho above letter give these facts to the public simply to justify the claims that they have made, that “if the kidneys and liver are kept in a healthy condition by the use of. Warner’s safe cure, which hundreds of thousands have proved to bo a specific, when ail other remedies failed, and that has received the mdor.-ement of ihe highest medical talent in Europo, Australasia and America, many a life would bo prolonged and the happiness of the people preserved. It is -sucoaastul with so many different diseases becaiwegt, anefft flrfo-7n^'eau remove the uric acid from the blood through the kidneys.” ——: — Our readers are famdiar with tho preparation named. Commendation thereof has often appeared in our columns. Wo believe it to bo ono of the best, if not the best, ever manufactured We know the proprietors are men of character and influence. Wo are certain they have awakened a wide- ■ spread interest in the public mind concerning the importance of the kidneys. We believe with them that they are the key to health, and that for their restoration from disease and maintenance in health thoro is nothing equal to this groat remedy. Tho proprietors say they “do not glory in Jhigjnntvorsal prevalence of diseaso; but having started out with the purpose of spreading the merits of Warner's safe cure before the world, because it cured our senior proprietor, who was given up by doctors as incurable, we feel it our duly to stato the facts and leave the public to its own inferences. We point to our claims, aud to their public and universal verification, with pride, and if the public does not bolieve what we say we tell thorn to ask their friends aud neighbors what they think about our preparations.” As stated above, wo most cordially commend the perusal of this correspondence by our renders, believing that in so doing we are fulfilling a simple public obligation.
