~talisJs, situated on a beautiful hill In
New jersey, was turned into u house of
mourning. 1t had been constructed on
tue most approved sanitary aud scientific
principles. Thousands of dollars had
been expended in the drainage, plumb
ing and ventilation. The surroundings
Mere healChful, the air was pure, and
yet an epidemic of diphtherla swept
away u family OF young beautiful child
en-. 1t was the theory Of The physicians
that the house WAS iIled with malaria,
which always invites diphtherla, and,
skeptlcal as the father was, lie lnstitut-
go a rigid examination. Every closet,
pipe and dram Wac found to be perfect,
and they were about TO give up, bafiled,
when by accident they examined the
furnace fresh air box, u few feet
from Its opening, in u nelghbOr'5 lot,
tuey discovered a mass OF putrefying
garbagel The mystery was explained.
The malaria had found an entrance
through thu ''fresh' air aue, IL three
loved ones persisted because somebody
had ~blunderedi" The same result was
seen at Princeton college, seven students
losing their lives by the faulty drainage
of the college grounds. These occur
rences were ot''dispensations OF PrUvi-
dence," they were the result of plain
careleSSneSs.
Life is u constant struggle for exist
ence, and as the httest always survives,
IL Is the duty of every man To acquaint
himself with the methods of prevention
and cur of Influences which would
hurry him to the grave. There is much
doubt nowadays as to what, for in

doubt that 1t Is the basis of the most
obstinate chronic disorders. Not many
years ago "A celebrated physician of Lon
don discovered what is known AS
Brlght's disease of the kidneys. While
most of the characteristics of this
dI eadful malady have been known, yet
of It's most peculiar features is OF
recent discovery, /. e that 1t PRODUCES
general arrangement Of the tissues, and
involves other organs OF the body long be-
fore the kidneys themselves seem " be
affected. There is no pain in the kid
Deys nor IN their vicinity. The water
may not he albuminuus; there may be
no casts. and yet Bright's disease may
exist aud disorder the entire system.
Prof. VIM. ii. Thompson, M. D., of
the chair of Materia Medica, in tile
university Of the city of New York, IN
u recent lecture before the students Of
Bellevue college hospital, says 'Brlght's
Disease has no symptoms of its own,
but has the symptoms of every other
disease you can think Of" AlUumeu
aud casts may OF may not be present;
nor is the specific gravity Ill absolute
and inf illible test. DR.. Thompson says
kidney disease is probably the common
est cause OF death In hist climate among
adults. more 50 even than consumption,
but IL is a very deceptive disease. If a
man breaks u 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
Ill the other organs of the body. These
sufferings are only the effects, the cause
is behind them, and II that cannot be
removed there can be- no curt of the de-
fects. Some of the commone5t 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 the
head ,throbbing disturbed headaches, wis.,
ion; the memory loses its power. These
are secondary symptoms of Bright's
Disease.
Again, the lungs are a favorite field
of operations, and diseased kidneys pro-
duce pleurisy, bronchitis,( with or with
out cough, great paleness, sudden and
strange attacks of asthma, and splitting
of blood. These are secondary effects Of
.Bright's Disease.
The heart, in the effort to force blood
into the diseased organs, which are
swollen by 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, agreatauthority,
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 tour of the body and
finding no other organs which 1t a
destroy, then the disease returns to the
kidneys; the back aches intolerably, the
urine is dark, full OF brickdust and
ropy; casts appear, albumen Is abund-
ant; then come great muscular relax
alton and p~rOstration; great
puffs appear under the eyes, the count
nance is pale and wears an appearance
of fright, commissions ensue, the fatal
diarrh9a 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 AN
not dispute if we would. We expect
when our physician visits our bedcham-
her, 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 hope of curep Must this great ma
lady increase the number of its victims
ut the rate of 20 per cent. a year, and
we be powerless to preventp 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
If 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 BriCht'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
reys and liver needed as a food and re-
Iorer, and knowing how widely these
diseases prevailed, he sold the formula
o Mr.. II. II. Warner, of Rochester,
n. Y. This gentleman began its manu-
facture on a most extensive scale, and
