doubt nowadays as to what, for IN

doubt that IL Is the basis of the most
obstinate chronic disorders. Not many
years ago u celebrated ply siciau vi Lon
dUn discovered what is known as
brlght'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, /. e., that IL PRODUCES
general arrangement of'the tissues, and
involves other organs OF the body long be-
tore the kidneys themselves seem " be
affected. There Is no pain In the KID
neys nor In their vicinity. The Water
may not be albuminous; there may be
no casts, and yet BrighJ's disease may
exist and disorder the entire system.
Prof. VIM. Ii. Thompson, NJ. D., of
the chair of Materia Medica, i'll the
university Of the city of New York, Ill
a recent lecture before the students Ot
Bellevue college hospital, says ''BrIght's
Disease has no symptoms of its own,
but has the symptoms of every other
disease you can think Of" Albumen
and casts may or may not be present;
nor is the specific gravity al absolute
aud iufallible test. DR.. Thompson says
kidney disease Is probably the common
est cause of death In this climate among
adults. more so even than consumption,
but IL is a very deceptive disease. If u
man breaks u limb he will expect pain
in the injured member; If u bullet crash
es into the body he will at least suffer
pain in the wounded part, but in dis.
) eases of the kidneys he will suffer most
III the other organs of the body. These
sufferings are only the effects, the cause
: is behind them, and If that cannot be
removed there can be- no cure 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, throbbing disturbed headaches, Wis.,

Again, the lungs are a favorite field

DR.. George johnson, a greatauthority,
uver 20 years ago pointed out that what
ever disease affects the kidneys produces
the same effect III the liver, and the
purging of blood, nausea, vomiting oi
