The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1882-05-20

He was flushed and feverish, constantly I'M
easy, and yet always weary. He had an in
tense appetite one day and very little the
next His pulse was irregular, his breathing
iaborcd, and every moment of existence was
. burden. These disastrous symptoms con-
tinued, his face and body became discolored,
his heart was irregular in its action, and his
breath came In short, cofvulsive gasps- He
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
perfect condition, and the reason Of his de-
cease was Of an entirely different nature"
The experiences which have been cited above
all had common cause and were each the re-
suit OF one disease. That disease, which so
deceitfully, yet surely removed the people
above mentioned was Bright's disease Of the
kidneys. In the case of Mr. Rock the exam
nation 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 it resulted In acute Bright's disease.
HE leading physicians and scientists of the
world are fast learning that more than one
half the deaths which occur are caused BY this
monstrous scourge. 1t Is one of the most de-
ceitfu maladies ever known to the human
race. 1t manifests itself by symptoms so
slight and common, as to seem unworthy of
8SbcutlOu, anu 1cS buCSc very lublkuluc8Qb
symptoms are the first stages Of the worst
complaint known in the history Of the world.
Thousands of people have died from troubles
that are called heart disease, apoplexy, pncu-
monia, brain fever, and similar diseases, when
It was, In fact, Bright's disease ofthe kidneys.
The ravages OF this disease have been greatly
increased from the fact that until recent years
NO way was known to prevent its beginning
nor check its increase when It had become
once fixed upon the system. Within the past
two years, however, we have learned OF NOR
than four hundred pronounced cases of Bright's
disease, many Of them much worse than those
above described, and most OF whom had been
given up BY prominent physicians, who have
been completely cured. The means used to
accomplish this end has been Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure, manufactured in
Rochester, N. Y, remedy that has won its
way into the confidence OF the public solely
upon the remarkable merits 1t Possesses. As
result, 1t Is more widely used and thorough
" praised than any medicine which has ever
been before the American public. Indeed
there is not q drug store in the entire land
where It cannot be found.
Although Bright's disease is so common in
cities, it is still more prevalent in the coun-
try. When eminent physicians in the largest
cities are not able to recognize Bright's dis
ease, It Is only natural that In the country,
where there are few physicians of any kind,
and those few 90 unacquainted with the dis
ease as to call 1t by some other name, IL
should rage terribly and yet unknown to the
ones who are suffering with it. Thousands Of
people can look back and recall the death Of
friends from what was supposed to be some
common complaint, when it was really Bright's
disease, AND no ONE KNEW 1T. The terrible
pleuro-pneumonia, which has been 90 dread
cd, is usually the resuld OF uremic or kidney
poison. Lung fever can be traced to q simi-
lar source. Most cases of paralysis arise
from the same difficulty, as well as innumer-
able fevers, lung, throat, head and bowel
troubles. A vast number of ladies have suf-
fered and died from complaints common to
their sex called, perhaps, general debility,
when, could the real cause have been known,
1t would have been found to b Bright's dis
ease, masquerading under another name. In
marked contrast to the sad cases which have
been above described are the experiences OF
many prominent people who were as low as
any OF the persons mentioned, but who were
remarkably restored to former health and Wig
or BY this same remedy. Among this number
are the following prominent names: Col. John
c. Whitner, Atlanta Ga; B. T. Larrabce,
Boston, Mass; Gen. C. A. Hickman, Phil
lipsburg,. N: j.; Rev. D. D. Buck, D. D.,
Geneva, n. Y; DR.. +. A. McMauus, Balti-
Rev. A. c. Kendrick, Ii. D., Rochester, N.
T.; ]. g. Matthews, Portland, Mich; G. w.
Eastwood, New York; DR.. A. A. Ramsay, Al
bia, Iowa: Chancellor c. N. Sims, d. D.,
Syracuse, N. T.; DIR. s. r. Jones, Marinette,
Wis; T. s. Ingraham, Cleveland, o.; Henry
T. Champney, Boston, Mass; Elder James s.
Prescott North Union, o., who % q promi-
nent memberof the Shaker community, and
many others.
To all candid minds the force of the above
facts must come with special power. They
show the importance of promptness and at
tention to the first symptoms Of disordcred
health before disease becomes fixed and hope
departs. They show how this can successful
ly be done, and that the dangers which await
neglect can only with difficulty be removed.
