“ONLY AFTER DEATH.”

What Wonders the Microscope Has Done for TTs. No longer Obliged to Dio to Find Out « What a Killing U».” One of the leading scientiSo publications states that many people are now ueing the microscope to discover the real cause of disease in tho system, and to detect adulterations of food and meuic.nes. This wonderful instrument has saved many a life. A microscopical hst sUowb, for instance, the presence of albumen, or the life of the blood, in certain derangements of the kidneys, but medicine does no, tell us how far advanced toe derangement is, or whether it shall prove fatal. The microscope, however gives us this knowledge-. Bright’s disease, which so many . people dread, was not fuilv known until the microscope revealed its characteristics. It greatly aids the physician skilled in its lire, ih determining how lar disease has advancod, 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 tunning tu iiio system, and if cer.ain appearances are seen in the fluids passed, it .is proof posi.ive that the tumor is to he a malignant one. If any derangyntent of the kidneys is detected by the microscope, tho physician looks for tho development of almost any disease the system is heir to, and any indication of Bright’s disease, which has no symptoms of its otvn and cannot be fully recognized except by tbo micro 3 cope, he iooas upuu with alarm. Tnis disease has existed for more than 2, Out), years. It is only unfit recently that the microscope lias revealed to us its universal prevalence and fatal character. Persons who formerly died of what was called general debility, norvous break-down, dropsy, paralysis, heart d.sease, 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 becomos better acquainted with tho importance of the kidneys in the human economy by tlio 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 allopatliist is prepared with a cure for derange 1 kidneys, but the world has long since recognized, and many medical gentlemen also recognize and proscribe Warners safe euro for these derangements, and admit that It io the on y specific for tho common and advanced forms of kidney disorders. Formerly the true cause of death was discovered only after death. To-day the microscope shows us, in 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 mauy 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 safo cure continues to grow in popularity, and the evidences of it 3 effectiveness are seen on every hand iSome 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 tho majority of physicians, and the reason that some doctors give for not adopting and prescribing it—viz.: .that .they do not know what its ingredients are —is absurd Mr. Warner’s statement—that many of the rodieuts are expensive, and that the desire f the-unscrupulous dealer or prescriber to i ealize a large profit from its manufacture by using cheap or injurious substances for; those ingredients would jeopardize iba quality and reputation ( and til a l VYarner’s safe euro cannot be made in small quantities on account of the expensive apparatus necessary in compounding these ingredients—seems to us to be a reasonable and sufficient one. Tho universal testimony of our friends and neighbors, and the indisputable evidence that it, and it alone, has complete mastery over all diseases of tho 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 revealod to us the all-important nature of the organs it is designed to reach and benefit
