But while people are becoming so strangely
exercised over this announcement, IN event OF
far more serious Importance, which is taking
place to-day, seems to bc almost wholly over
looked The nature Of this most vital subject
can be best explained by relating the following
experiences;
Bishop Il. o. Haven, known to the entire
land, was unaccountably awakened one night
out OF sound sleep, and lay awake until
morning. His mind seemed unusually active,
and he not only reviewed his past life, which
had been an cyentful one, but laid extensive
plans for the future. He did not feel especial.

Clarkson N. Potter is one of the most serious
warnings ever given in the long list OF innu-
merable cases OF fatal neglect. 1t is not suf-
fcient to say that many other brilliant men,
including Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wood, VIII
son and Carpenter, were swept away by the
same fatal trouble. The questionis were these
men sufficiently careful OF their health, and
could they have been saved! The Albany Ar
gus, in speaking of Mr.. Potter's sudden illness
and death, says:
"Ono OF the physicians who attended Mr..
Potter here was interviewed last evening. He
stated that Mr.. Pottcr's inability to converse
had for some time served to battle the ply
sicians In their efforts to determine the root
Of his illness. 1t seems, however, that MIR.

attack of kidney disease. Unwise depend

Ing, doubtless sowed the seeds of a disease
that needed but some such personal neglect
as that OF Tuesday morning to develop. From
the symptoms at first shown, 1t was thought
that his only trouble was nervous prostration;
but his long continuance in a semi-uncon-
scous state led to the belief that his Illness
was seated in a chronic difficulty more mystic
rious aud dangerous"
Up to the latter part of last year Mr.. Ed
ward +. Rook, member of the New York
stock exchange, was doing business in Wall
street, New York. He had everything to en-
courage him, and make life happy, but was
the victim of unaccountable upeasiness. His
experience as described by one who knew,
was as follows: "At unexpected times, and
on occasions when he had the greatest reason
to feel joyous he was irritable and haunted
with strange feelings Of discomfort He en-
| deavored to check these feelings and appear
| pleasant, but 1t required great effort to do
so; after which he would again relapse into
his former morbid mood. This feeling con-
| tinued for number of months, when he
became conscious of an added sense OF
lassitude. He was tired even when
resting, and although experiencing no
acute pain, had dull, aching sensa.
tions in his limbs and various parts of his
body Shortly afterward his head began to
ache most frequently and his stomach failed
to digest properly. Being told that he was
suffering from malaria he consulted an emf
| neut physician, who informed him that his
kidneys were slightly effected, and gave him
medicine to restore them. But he grew
worse instead of better. He then consulted
other eminent doctors of another school and
was informed that he had brain difficulty
| somewhat III the nature of a tumor, but in
spite OF all efforts to the contrary he contin-
| ued to grow worse. At this time his condi.
tion was terrible. What were at first simple
symptoms had developed to terrible troubles
He was flushed and feverish, constantly un-
easy, and yet always weary He had an in
tense appetite, one day and very little, the
next. His pulse was irregular, his breathing
| labored, and every moment of existence was
burden. These disastrous symptoms con-
tinued, his face and body became dscolored,
| his heart was irregular in its action, and his
| breath came in short, convulstye gasps. Ho
grew constantly worse, Notwithstanding the
| utmost precautions of his friends and finally
died In the greatest agony. After his death
an examination as to its actual cause was
made, when his brain was found to be in a
perfect condition, and the reason of his de-
cease was of an entirely different nature.n
The experiences which have been cited above
all had common cause and were each the re-
suit OF ono disease. That disease, which SC
deceitfully, yet surely removed the people
above meL toned was Bright's disease of the
| kidneys. In the case of AIr. Rook the exam
ination after death, while showing the brain
to be In perfect condition, revealed the terri
Bile fact that he was the victim of slight kid
ney trouble, which had gone on unchecked
until 1t resulted in acute Bright's disease
