A FATAL NEGLECT.
How cariess Oversight Brought About the
Most Serious Results, and How IT
Might Have Been Avoided.
The Importance of AttentiO to the Details
OF Life.

Early last spring the elegant mansion
OF une oil New YUrk's wealthest capI-
~LallsLs, situated on a beautiful hill III
New Je.sey, VA turned Ii ahouse OF
lnuuruIug. 1t had been constructed Oh
the most approved sanitary aud scientific
princIples. Thousands Ot dollars lad
been expended Ill the drainage, plumb
ing auu ventilation. The Surroundings
we're healJhtul, the air WAS pure, and
yet all epidemic Of diphtherIa swept
away a family OF young beautiful child
rem. IL was the theory Of The physicians
that the house was filled with malaria,
which always invites diphtherla, and,
skeptical as the father was, he institut-
ed u rigid examination. Every closet,
pipe and dram was found to be perfect,
and they were about TO give up, baffied,
when by accident they examined the
furnace fresh air box, and a few feet
from Its opening, in a neighbor's lot,

Iue malaria had found an entrance
through h "fresh" air lue, and three
loved ones persisted because '~'sumebOdy
had bluuderedi" The same result vas
seen at princeton college, seven students
losing their lives by The faulty drainage
Of the college grounds. These occur
rences were not 'dIspensatiuns Of PrUvI-
deuce," they were the result OF plain
carelessness.
Life is 4 constant struggle for exist
euce, and as the tittest always survives,
" Is the DUTY of every man to acquaint
himself with tue methods of prevention
and cure of influences which would
hurry him to the grave. There Is much
doubt nowadays rs to WHAT for in
stance, causes malaria, but there is no
doubt that IL Is the basis of the most
obstinate chronic disorders. Not many
years ago u celebrated physician of Lon
don discovered what is known II
Brlght's disease Of the kidneys. While
must of the characteristics OF this
dreadful malady have been known, yet

Prof. VIM. III. Thompson, Nj. D., Of
the chair of Materia Medica, i'll the
university Of the city of New York, III
"A recent lecture before the students OF
Bellevue college hospital, says 'Bright's
Disease has no symptoms of It's own,
but has the symptoms of every other
disease you can think off, Aluumen
aud casts may or may not be present;
nor is the specific gravity An absolute
and iufallible test. DR.. Thompson says
kidney disease Is probably the common
est cause OF death In this climate among
adults. more 50 even than consumption,
but IL is a very deceptive disease. IL a
man breaks II limb he will expect pain
in the injured member; II a bullet crash
es into the body he will ut least tuffer
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 IL that cannot be
removed there can be 40 m OF the de-
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 the
head neutrality-suspicious. headaches, WIS.,
ion; the memory loses its power. These
are secondary symptoms Of Bright's
Disease.
Again, the lungs are n favorite field
of operations, and diseased kidneys pro-
duce pleurisy, bronchitis,( with or with
out cough, great paleness, sudden II
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, a greatauthority,
wei 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 u 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 it can
destroy, then the disease returns to the
kidneys; the hack aches intolerably, the
urine is dark, full of brickdust and
ropy; casts appear, albumen Is abund-
ant; then come great muscular relax
alton and nervous prostitution; great
puffs appear under the eyes, the count
enance is pale and wears an appearance
Of fright, commissions ensue, the fatal
diarrhea or pneumonia sets in, and
death is the end. These declarations
are the warnings OF men OF high auth
ority in medical scIence, whom VT can
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. Ia there

lady increase the number Of its victims

this is the basis Of popular Judgment.
The doctors admit they can do nothing
for a person in the tolls OF BriCht's Dis
rase; 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
neys and liver needed as a food and re-
storer, and knowing how widely these
diseases prevailed, he sold the formula
