the aetion of Admiral Kimberly in allowing pad

The Ounce of Prevention.
Is Under the above heading the New Yor
rl Weld of Feb. 10th. contains an cultorial,
of which the following are a few extracts:
"Physicians and unprofessional mturn of
sense agree that if people would take a little
of the pains to prevent disease that they do
to have it cured that the civilized world
le would be much less like a vast hospital than
s it is now. * * " * But the idea of a regular
and stated physical examination, even of
it persons who are apparently well, is an ex
a collent one. The approachties of pulmonary
I* complaints, kidney troubles, and many of
f the other ills that flesh is heir to are so in
f sidious as not to be apparent to their victim.
Ie " * * * In nothing is it truer than in dis
Ig ease that 'an ounce of prevention is worth a
m pound of cure.'
* Thiere lsagreatdealof wisdom in what the
r eWorld remarks. Individuals, as a rule, do
tt not give their physical welfare attention,
s and it is only when alarmed by the presence
, of disease itself-the consciulsness of fail
s ing streng-t-that attetion is given tosuch
at matters.
a Mich has been said and written in recent
4 years concerning the extremle and often
If times fatal danger which results from de
Slay in the treatment of kidney diseases..
i- Physicians admit that they can not control
at advanced ditsease in those organs, and it is
Sdoubtful whether they can mcontrl it in any
le stage without the assistance of Warner .
io afo Curer, which is established us the only
I. known means which will reliably prcvent
a and cure this class of disease.
Besides, it has been deflnitely ascertained
that kidney disease is the real cause of it
health in most cases where consumlitloi,
heart, brain or nervous disorders are sup
posed to exist, and in consequence of su,'h
*. belief many fatal mistacs have be- n com-i
a- mitted by our best physicians in treating
such disordersth which are but the sysmp
ed toms of the disease, whilst they have al.
aig lowed the real disease-disease of the kid
e anes, to escape theitr notice until too late.
ad There ist no safer or surer way by whih
of health can be preserved and diseaseanvertel
a than the occasional use of Warner's Hateo
y Cure, whtch will benefit th "engines of
t. lfe,"-the kidneys, even if they are in a
a normally healthy state; while the good that
a will result in case disease is threatened, or
ad is already present, cannot e overestmated.
