IL Is the duty OF every mai to acqualnL
himself with the methods of prevention
and cure of influences which would
hurry hin to the grave. There is much
doubt nowadays Is to what, for IN
stance, causes malaria, but there is no
doubt thai it is the basis Of the most
obstinate chronic disorders. Not many
years ago "A celebrated physician Of Lon
don discovered what is known as
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Whit
most of the characteristics of this
dreadful maIady have been known, yet
one of It's most peculiar features Is OF
recent discovery, l. e., That 1t Produces

involves other organs of the body long be
fore the kidneys themselves seem " b,
affected. There is no pain in the kid
neys nor In their vicinity. The water
may not be albuminous; there may be
no casts, and yet Bright's disease may
exist and disorder h entire system.
Prot. VIM. ii. Thompson, Nj. D., vi

university Of the city OF New York, III
d recent lecture before the students VI
Bellevue college hospital, says "BrIght's

Uut has the symptoms of every Other
disease you can think Of" AlDumeh

kidney disease is probably the common
est cause OF death Ill this climate among
adults. more so even than consumption,
but IL Is u very deceptive disease. Ii h

IN the other organs of the body. Thes'
offerings are only the effects, the Gauss
IS behind them, and If thai cannot b,
removed there can be no cure of the de
fects. Some OF tue commonest ailments
of humanity are the sure symptoms OF
Briyht's disease. When the kidney
have been diseased for u certain time
there will occur strange disorders in thu

are secondary symptoms of Bright's

DR.. George johnson, a greatauthority,
over 20 years ago pointed out that what
ever disease affects the kidneys produces
the same effect in the liver, and the
purging of blood, nausea, vomiting OF
bile and food, indigestion, constipation,
piles, dizziness, persistent diarrhea
coming on suddenly to a person who
has always been robust are certain sec
ondary symptoms of Bright's Disease.
Having made a o Il of the body and
finding no other organs which it cah

kidneys; the back aches in~tolerably, the
urine is dark, full OF brickdust and
ropy; casts appear, albumen is abund

puffs appear under the eyes, the count

diarrh9a or pneumonia sets in, and
death is the end. These declarations
