A FATAL NEGLECT.
How cSriess Oversight Brought About the
Most Serious Results, and How 1t
Might Have Been Avoided.
The Importance Of AtIeEtiO 10 the Details
Of Life.

New Je. sey, WAS turned into "a house OF
mourning. IL had been Constructed on
tue most approved sanitary and scientific
prlucIples. thousands vi dollars had

we're healLhtul, the air was pure, and
yet an epidemic Of diphLherIa swept
away a family Ot young beautiful child

Life Is II constant struggle for exist
ence, and as the ittest always survives,
IL IL the duty OF every mau to acqualnt
himself with the metho&pf prevention
and cure of influences which would
hurry him to the grave. There is much
doubt nowadays as to what, for III
stance, CAUSES malaria, but there is no
doubt that 1t Is the basis of the most
obstinate chronic disorders. Not many
y.-,4TA 4un "a relHllrAfNI nh NSlrIAu ft anII-
don discovered what is known as
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Willis
most of the characteristics of this
dreadful malady have been known, yet
Ii of Its most peculiar features Is OF
recent discovery, /. t That IL Produces
general arrangement of the TISSUES, and
Involves other organs uf tile body long be-
fore the kidneys themselves seem To be
affected. There is no pain in the kid
neys nor IN their vicinity. The water
Z may not Oe albuminOus; there may be
no casts, and yet BrighJ's disease may
exist aud disorder tile entire system.
Prof. VIM. IL. Thompson, M. D., Of
the chair of MaterIa Medica, III the
university Of the city OF New York, III
/ u recent lecture before the students of
Bellevue college hospital, says ''Bright's
Disease has no symptoms of its own,
but has the symptoms Of every other
disease you can thlnk Of" Albumen
j. and casts may or may not be present;
= nor is the specific gravity Ill absolute
: and iufallible test. DIR. Thompson says
: kidney disease is probably the common
! est cause OF death IN this climate among
|, adults. more 30 even than consumption,
; but IL is a very deceptive disease. If a
. man breaks a limb he will expect pain
in the injured member; if a bullet crasb-
es into the body he will at least suffer
pain in the wounded part, but in dis
, eases OF the kidneys he will suffer most
In the other organs Of the body. These
sufferings are only the effects, the cause
q is behind them, and II that cannot be
n removed there can Do no cure of the de-
n fects. Some OF the mmun ailments

head ,throObiugdIsturbed headaches, WIS.,

are secondary symptoms of Bright's
q Disease.
Again, the lungs are a favorite field
. of operations, and diseased kidneys pro-
5 duce pleurlsy, ~bronchItis,( with or with
Out cough, great paleness, sudden and
strange attacks of asthma, Il splitting
of blood These are secondary effects of
Bright's Disease.

r swollen 10y reason of kidney disease, be,
comes exhausted, hardened or enlarged,
or valvular disease follows, with great
distress under the breast bone. These
are secondary symptoms Of Bright's
Disease.
DR.. George johnson, a greatauthority,
over 20 years ago pointed Ii that what
. ever disease affects the kidneys produces
tile same effect i'll the liver, and the
purging of blood, nausea, vomiting of
bile and food, indigestion, constipation,
piles, diZziness, persistent diarihga
coming oil suddenly to a person VINO
has "a always been robust are certain sec
! ondary symptoms of Bright's Disease.
. Having made u tour of the body aud
hnding no other organs which ii can
destroy, then the disease returns to the
kidneys; the Jack aches i~ntOleraUly, tile
urine is dark, full of brickdusL and
ropy; casts appear, albumen is abund-
r ant; then come great muscular relax
alton and nervous prostratiUn; great
puffs appear under the eyes, the count
enance is pale and wear an appearance
of fright, convuIsIons ensue, the fatal
diarrhGa or pneumonia sets in, and
death is the end. These declarations
are the warnings of men of high auth
GRITTY in medical science, whom we can
not dispute If we would. We expect
when u physician visits our bedclam-
Der, 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. Is there
no hoTe Of curep Must this great ma
lady increase the number of its victims
at the rate Of 70 per cent. a year, and
we be powerless to PREVENT DR.. Hol-
and says all medical practice is expert
mental, and that any remedy that cures
Is entitled to the confidence and patron
age of the people. The only criterion
OF excellence Is success, and, he says,
this is the basis of popular Judgment.
The doctors admit they can do nothing
for a person in the tolls of Bright's Dis
ease; but happily, the oftimes wiser
school of independent Investigators has
not so failed. A few years ago a well
known medical practitioner found the
vegetable elements which diseased kid.
nrys aud liver needed as a food and re-
storer, and knowing how widely these
diseases prevailed, he sold the formula
to Mr.. II. II. Warner, of Rochester,
n. Y. This gentleman began its manu-
facture on a most extensive scale, and
to-day Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure is used more generally thar any
other knt wn compound. The manufac-
turers of TINS remedy know, from the
unsolicited testimony of hundreds of
cases cured of the worst form of Bright's
