NII E disease com-
mences with a slight
derangement of the sto-
mach, but, if neglected,
it in time involves the
whole frame, embracing
the kidneys, liver, pan-
creas, and, in fact, the
entire glandular system,
and the -afflicted one
drags out a miserable
existence until death
gives relief from suffer-
ing. The disease is often
mistaken for other com-
plaints; but if the reader
will ask himself the fol-
-10 wing questions, he will
lie able to determine
whether lie himself is
one of the afflicted :
Have I distress, pain, or
difficulty in breathing
after eating? Is there a
dull, heavy feeling at-
tended by drowsiness?
Have the eyes a yellow
tinge? Does a thick,
sticky, mucous gather
about the gums and
teeth in the mornings,
accompanied by a dis-
agreeable taste? Is the
tongue coated? Is there
pain in the sides and
back? Is there a fulness
about the right side as if
the liver were enlarg-
ing? Is there costive-
ness? Is there vertigo
or dizziness when rising
suddenly from a lion-
zontal position? Are the
secretions from the kid-
neys scanty and highly
coloured, with a deposit
after standing? Does
food ferment soon after

eating, accompanied by
flatulence or a belching
of gas from the stomach?
Is there frequent palpi-
tation of the heart?
These various symp-
toms may not be present
at one time, but they tor-
ment the sufferer in turn
the dreadful disease
progresses. If the case
