himself with the methods of prevention
and cure of influences which would
hurry him to the grave. There is much
doubt nowadays as to what, for in

doubt that it is the basis of the most
obstinate chronic disorders. Not many

Bright's disease of the kidneys. While
most of the characteristics of this
dreadful malady have been known, yet
one of its most peculiar features is OF
recent discovery, i. e, that it PRODUCES
general arrangement of the tissues, and
involves other organs Of the 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
may not be albuminous; there may be
no casts, and yet Bright's disease may
exist and disorder the entire system.
Prof. VIM. III. Thompson, M. d., of
the chair of Materia Medica, in the
university of the city of New York, in
a recent lecture before the students of
Bellevue college hospital, says "Brlght's
Disease has no symptoms of it's own,
but has the symptoms of every other
disease you "a think Of" Albumen
and casts may or may not be present;
nor is the specific gravity an absolute
and infallible test. DIR. Thompson says
kidney disease is probably the common

adults. more 50 even than consumption,
but IL Is a very deceptive disease. If d
man breaks "a limb he will expect pain
in the injured member; if a bullet crash
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
is behind them, and if That cannot bt

fects. Some of the commonest ailments
of humanity are the sure symptoms OF
Bright's disease. When the kidneys
have been diseased for a certain time
there will occur strange disorders in thu

DR.. George Johnson, a greatauthOrity,

The doctors admit they can do nothing

not so failed. A few years g a well
