The Importance Of Attention to the Ne
tails Of Life.
Early last spring the elegant mansion o
one Of New York's wealthiest capitalists
situated on beautiful hill in New jersey
was turned into house Of mourning. II
had been constructed on the most approved
sanitary and scientific principles. Thous-
ands Of dollars had been expended in the
drainage, plumbing and ventilation. The
surroundings were healthful, the air was
pure, and yet an epidemic Of diphtheria
swept away family Of young and beauti-
full children. 1t was the theory OF the ply
sicians that the house was filled with mala-
ria, which always invites diphtheria, and,
skeptical as the father was, he instituted a
rigid examination. Every closet, pipe and
drain was found to be perfect, and they
were about to give up, batiled, when by ac-
cident they examined the furnace fresh air
box, ana a few feet from its opening, in a
neighbours lot, they discovered mass Of

planned. The malaria had found IN en-

lessness.
Life is q constant struggle for existence,
and as the tittest always survives, II Is the
duty OF every man to acquaint himself
with the methods OF prevention and cure
Of influences which would hurry him to
the grave, There is much doubt nowadays
rs to what, for instance, causes malaria, but
there is nodoubt that it Is the basis OF the
most obstinate chronic disorders. Not many
years ago celebrated physician OF London
discovered what is known as Brights Dis
ease OF the kidneys. While most OF the
characteristics OF this dreadful malady
have been known, yet one Of It's most Pc
Culiar features is OF recent discovery, |. G.,
that 1t produces general arrangement OF
the tissues, and involves other organs OF
the body long before the kidneys them
selves seem to be affected. There Is no
pain in tho kidneys nor in their vicinity,

may be no casts, and yet Brights Disease

Prof, VIM II. Thompson, NJ. d., OF the
chair OF Materia Medica, in the University
Of the City Of New York. in recent lee
ture before the students oil Bellevue Col
lege Hospital; says "Bright's Disease has
no symptoms Of its own, but has the symp-
toms Of every other disease you can think
Of" Albumen and casts may or may not
be present; nor Is the specific gravity an
absolute and iniallible test DR.. Thomp.
son says kidney disease il probably the
Commoncst cause Of death in tins climate
among adults, more so even than cons amp
ton, but 1t is very deceptive disease. III
n man breaks limb he will expect pain in
the injured member; II q bullet crashes
into the body he will at least suffer pain In
the woundedpart, but In diseases OF the kid |
neys he will sulIer mostin the other organs
OF the body. These suiIerings are only the
effects, tho cause IL behind them, and II |
that cannot be removed there can be no |
cure OF the effects. Some Of the common
est ailments OF humanity are the sure
symptoms Of Bright's Disease. When the
Kidneys have been diseased for certain |
time there will occur strange disorders in |
the head, throbbing headaches, disturbed |
vision; the memory loses It's power. These
are secondary symptoms OF Brights Disease.
Again, the lungs are a iavorite field OF
operations, and diseased kidneys produce |
pleurisy, bronchitis, with or without cough |
great pakness, sudden and strange attacks |
OF asthma, aud the splitting OF blood These
are secondary effects OF Brights Disease.
The heart, in the effort to force blood
into the diseased organs, which are SWOLLEN
by reason Of kidney disease, becomes ex-
hausted, hardened or enlarged, or valvuIar
disease follows, with great distress under
the breast bone. These are secondary
symptoms OF Bright's Disease.
Dr. George johnson, great authority,
over 20 years ago pointed out that whatever
disease effects the kidneys produces the
same effect in the liver, and the purglng Of
blood, nausea, vomiting oil bile and food,
indigestion, constipation, piles, dizziness,
persistent diarrhoea coming on suddenly to
a person who has always been robust are
certain secondary symptoms Of Brights
Disease.
Having made a touroi the body and find
ing no other organs which 1t can destroy,
then tho disease returns to the kidneys;
the back aches intolerably, the urine Is
dark, full Of brlckdust and ropy; casts ap-
pear, albumen Is abundant then come
great muscular relaxation and nervous
prostration; great pufFs appear under the
eyes, the Countenance Is pale and wears an
appearance OF fright, commissions ensue,
the fatal diarrhGa or pneumonia sets In,
and death is the end. These declarations
are the warnings OF men OF high authority
in medical science, whom we cannot dis.
pute II We would. We expect, when our
physician visits our bed chamber, he will
come with the possibility OF healing, but
there Is no disease which he approaches
with the certainty Of failure like Bright's
Disease. 1sthere no hope Of Cnre3 Must
this great malady increase the number OF
It's victims at the rate Of % per cent year,
and we be powerless to PREVENT DR..
Holland sRysal medical practice Is expert
mental, and that any remedy that cures Is
entitled to the confidence and patronage
the people. The only criterion Of excel.
lence is success, and he says, this Is the
basis OF popular Judgment. The doctors
admit they can do nothing for person In
the tolls Of Bright's Disease; but happily,
the oitentimes wiser school OF independent
investigators has not so failed. A few years
ngo a well known medical practitioner
found the vegetable elements which dis.
and restoref, and knowing how widely
these diseases prevailed, he sold The for.
