So it is with individuals. The cause of
death of prominent men creates com
ment, especialy when it can be shown
that one unsuspected disease carries off
most of them, and yst “vast numbers of
ordinary men and women die before their
time every year from the same cause.”
It is said if the blood is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostration, pneumonia, rheuma
tism, 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 re
move this waste.
We are told that if the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the uric,
kidney, acid is kept ont of the blood, and
these sudden and universal diseases cans
ed by uric acid will, in a large measure,
disappear.
But how shall this be done? It is folly
to treat effects. If there is any known
way of getting at the cause, that way
should be made public. We believe that
Warner’s 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 as
the one specific for such a disease.
Because public attention has been di
rected to this great remedy by means of
advertising, some persons have not be
lieved in the remedy. We cannot see how
Mr. U’a.ner could immediately benefit the
public in any other way, and his valuable
specific should not be condemned because
some nostrums have come before the pub
lic in the same way, any more than that
all doctors should be condemned because
so many of them are incompetent.
