hurry him to the grave. There is much
doubt nowadays as to what, for in
stance, causes malaria, but there is no
doubt that it is the basis of the most
obstinate chronic disorders. Not many
years z a celebrated physician of Lon
U discovered what is known as
Bright's disease of the kidneys. While
most of the characteristics OF this
dreadful malady have been known, yet
one of its most peculiar features Is of
recent discovery, i. e , that 1t produces
general arrangement of the tissues, and
involves other organs of the body long be-
fore the kidneys themselves seem to be
affected. There is no pain in the kid
heys nor III their vicinity. The water

no casts, and yet Brignt's disease may

Prot. VIM. ii. Thompson, M. D., of
the chair of Materia Medica, in the
university Of the city OF New York, III
a 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" Albumen

removed there can be no cure Of the de-
fects. Some of the cummone5t ailments
of humanity are the sure symptoms OF
Bright's disease When the kidneys
