The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1882-04-29

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
labored, 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, convulsve 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
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"
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
The 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-
ceitful maladies ever known to the human
race. 1t manifests itself by symptoms so
slight and common, as to seem unworthy of
attention; and yet these very insignificant
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, pneu-
monia brain fever, and similar diseases, when
it was, in fact, Bright's disease Oft the 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 more
| than four hundred pronounced cases Of Bright 8
| 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 it possesses. AS
o result, 1t is more widely used and thorough
| ly praised than any medicine which has ever
been before the American public Indeed
there is not drug store in the entire land
! where IL 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 Brights dis
ease, it is only natural that in the country,
where there are few physicians of any kind,
and those few so unacquainted with the dis
ease as to call it 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, whenit was really Bright
disease, AND NO ONE KNEW 1T. The terrible
pleuro-pneumonia, which has been so dread.
ed is usually the resuld of uremic or kidney
poison. Lung fever can be traced to a SINH
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 tt
their sex called, perhaps general debility,
when, could the real cause have been known
it would have been found to be Bright's dis
ease, masquerading under another name. III
marked contrast to the sad cases which have
been above described are the experiences O.
many prominent people who were as low a!
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. JohI
c. Whitner, Atlanta, Ga; B. F. Larrabee
Boston, Mass Gen. c. A. Hickman, Phil
Geneva, N. Y; DR.. F. A. McManus, Balti
more Nd; Edwin Fay, Davenport, Iowa
Rev. A. C. Kendrick, LII. D., Rochester, N
Y; J. 8. Matthews, Portland Mich; C. w
Eastwood, New York; DR.. A. A. Ramsay, Al
bia, Iowa. Chancellor G; n. Sims, D. D.
syracuse, N. Is Dr. .. 4 Jones, MarlneIte
Wis. T. S. Ingraham, Cleveland, o.; Henri
T. Champney, Boston, Mass; Elder James s
Prescott, North Union, o., who is a promi
nent memberof the Shaker community, an
many others.
To all candid minds the force of the abov
facts must come with special power. The.
show the Importance of promptness and at
tention to the first symptoms of disordere,
health before disease becomes fixed and hop
departs. They show how this can successful
ly be done, and that the dangers which avail
neglect can only with difficulty be removed.
