toms at first shown, it was thought that
his only trouble was nervous prostration;
but his long continuance in a semi-un-
conscious state led to the belief that his
illLess was seated in chronic difficulty
more mysterious and dangerous"
Up the latter part of last year Mr..
Edward F. Rock, member of the New
York stock exchange, was doing bust
ness in Wall street, New York. He had
everything to encourage him, and make
life happy, but was the victim of I'M
accountable uneasiness. His experience
as described by one who knew, was as
follows: "At unexpected times, and on
occasions when he had the greatest rea-
son to feel joyous, he was irritable and
haunted with strange feelings of discon-
tent. He endeavored to check these
feelings and appear pleasant, but it
required great effort to do
so; after which he would again
relapse into his former morbid mood.
This feeling continued for number of
months, when he became conscious of
an added sensation of lassitude. He
was tired even when resting, and al
though experiencing no acute pain, had
dull, aching sensations in his limbs and
various parts of his body Shortly
afterward his head began 10 ache most
frequently and his stomach failed to d.
gest properly. Being told that he was
suffering from malaria, he consulted an
eminent physician, who informed him
that his kidneys were slightly effected,
and gave him medicine to restore them.
But he grew worse instead of better. He
then consulted other eminent doctors of
another school and was informed that he
had "a brain difficulty somewhat in the
nature of tumor, but in spite of all
efforts to the contrary he continued to
grow worse. At this time his condition
was terrible. What were at first simply
symptoms had developed to terrible
troubles. He was flushed and feverish,
constantly uneasy, and yet always weary
lie had an intense appetite one day and
very little the next. His pulse was IT.
regular, his breathing labOred, and every
moment of existence was a burden.
These disastrous symptoms con-
tInued, his face and body be- |
came discolored, his heart was ir-
regular in its action, and his breath came |
in short, convulsive gasps. He grew |
constantly worse, notwithstanding the |
utm' st precautions of his friends, and |
finally died in the greatest agony. After |
his death an examination as 10 its actual |
cause was made, when his brain was |
found to be in a perfect condition, and |
the reason of his decease was of an en-
tirely different nature.
The experiences which have been cited |
above all had common cause and were |
each the result of one disease. That dis
ease, which 50 deceitfully, yet surely re-
moved the people above mentioned, was
Bright's disease of the kidneys. In the
case of Mir. Rock the examination after
death, while showing the brain TO be in
perfect condition, revealed the terrible
fact that he was the victim of a slight
kidney trouble, which had gone on I'M
checked, until it resulted in acute
Brigbt's disease. The leading physi-
clans and scientists of the world are fast
learning that more than one-half the
deaths which occur are caused by this
monstrIus scOurge. 1t is one of the most
deceitful maladies ever known to
the human race. 1t manifests
itself by symptoms so slight and
common, as TO seem unworthy of at
tention; and yet these very ins gniicant
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, pneumonia, brain
fever, and similar diseases, when it was,
in fact, Brights disease of the kidneys.
The ravages of this disease have been
greatly increased from the fact that until
recent years no way was known to pre-
vent 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
fnnr hnnHraA g
Hright'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, manufac-
tured in Rochester, N. Y, a remedy
that has won its way into the confidence
of the public solely upon the remarkable
merits it possesses As a result, it is
more widely used and thoroughly praised
than any medicine which has ever been
before the American pubic. Indeed,
there is not 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
When eminent physicians in
the largest cities are not able to recognize
Bril- hts disease, it is only natural that in
the country, where there are few physi-
clans OF any kind, and those few so I'M ]
acquainted with the disease as to call it !
by some other name, it should rage terri
bly, and yet unknown TO the ones who
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 Brights disease, AND NO ONE KNEW
1t. The terrible plepr0 pneumonia,
which has been so dreaded, is usually
the result of uremic or kidney poison.
Lung fever can be traced to a similar
source, Most cases of paralysis arise
from the same difficulty, as well as in
fevers, lung, throat, head and
bowel troubles. A vast number of la {
dies have suffered and died from COM :
plants common to their sex, called, per- {
haps, general debility, when, could the {
real cause have been known, it would I
have been found to be Bright's disease,
aiding under another name In {
marked contrast to the sad cases {
which have been above described, Z
are the experiences of many {
prominent people who were as low as {
any of the persons mentioned, but who Z
we're remarkably restored TO former {
health and vigor by this same remedy. {

To all candid minds the force of the g
lbove facts must come with special pow =
IT. They show the importance of q
and attention to the first 3
ymptoms of disordered health before 3
disease becomes fixed and hope departs 4
They show how this can successfully be =
lone, and that the dangers which await 3
neglect can only with difficulty be re- Il
moved. q
