Tuesday morning to develOpe. From the
symptoms ut first shown, 1t was thought
that his only trouble Was nervous prostra-
ton, but his long continuance. Ia . semi
unconscious state led to the belief that his
illness was seated in a chronic did1culty
more mysterious and dangerous.
Up to the latter part of last year Mr..
Edward F. Rock, q member of the New
York Stock Exchange, was doing business
in Wall street, New York. He had every
thing to encourage him and make life
happy, but was the victim of unaccounta-
bic uneasiness. His experience ~ describ-
ed by one who knew. was as follows: "At
unexpected times, and on occasions whom
he had the greatest reason to feel joyous
he was irritable and haunted with strange
feelings Of discomfort. He endeavored to
check these feelings and appear pleasant.
but 1t required great effort to do 20 At

former morbid mood. This feeling con-
tinued for . number of months, whom he

lassitude. He was tired even when rest
ing, and although experiencing no acute
pain, had dull, aching sensations in his
limbs and various parts of his body. short
ly afterward his head began to ache most
frequently, and his stomach failed to d.
gest properly. Being told that he was suf-
ferinR from malaria he consulted an emil
nsnt physician, who informed him that his
kidneys were slightly affected, and gave
him medicine to restore them. But be
grew worse instead of better. He then
consulted other eminent doctors of anoth-
or school, and was informed that he had .
brain difficulty somewhat in the nature of
tumor, but in spite Of oil efforts to the
contrary he continued to grow worse. At
this time his condition was terrible. What
were at frst simple symptoms had devsl
eyed to terrible troubles. He was flushed
and feverish, constantly uneasy, and yet
always weary. He had an intense appetite
one day and very liCtls the next. His pulse
was irregular, his breathing labored, and
every mement of existence was burden.
These disastrous symptoms continued, his
face and body became discolored. his heart
was irregular in its action, and his breath
came in short, convulsive gasps. He grew
constantly worse, Notwithstanding the ut
most precautions OF his friends, and finally

death an examination as to its actual cause
was made, when his brain was found to be
in q perfect condition, and the reason
of his disease WAS Of An entirely different
nature"
The experiences which have been cited
above all had q common cause and were
each the result Of one disease. That di-
sease, which SO dsceitfully yet surely re-
moved the people above mentioned was
Bright's disease of the kidneys. In the
case Of Mr.. Rock the examination after
death, while showing the brain to be in
perfect condition, revealed the terrible fact
that no was the victim of q slight kidney
trouble, which had gone on unchecked, I'M
til it resulted in acute Brights disease
The leading physicians and scientists OF
the world are fast learning that more than
One-half the deaths which occur are caus-
ed by this monstrous scourke. 1t is one
of the most dseeitful maladies ever known
to the human race. It Manlfests itself
by symptoms 30 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
brain fever, and similar diseases, when it
was, in fact Bright's disease of the kid
neys. The ravagss of this disease have
been greatly increased from the fact that
until recent years NO way was known to
prevent its beginning nor check IT'S in
crease 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 .
disease, many of them much worse than
those above described, and most of whom
had been given up by prominent physi-
clans. who have been completely cured

remedy that has won its way into the
confidence of the public solely upon the
remarkable merits it POSSESSES. As re-
suit, it is moro widely used and thOrcug n
ly praised than any medicine which has
ever been before the American public In
deed 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
country. When eminent physicians in the
largest cities are not able to recognize
Bright's disease it ID only natural that in
the country, where there are few physi-
Clans of any kind, and those few SO unac-
quainted with the disease as to call it by
some other name, it should rage terribly
and yet be unknown to the ones who are suf-
ferlng with it. Thousands Of people can
look back and recall the death of friends
from what was supposed to be some COM
mon complaint. when 1t was really Bright's
disease, AND NO ONE KNEW IT. The ter
rible pleuro-pneumOnia, which has been so
dreaded. is usually the result of uremic or
kidney poison. Lung fever can be traced
to similar source. Most cases of paraly-

as innumerable fevers, lung, throat,
head and bowel troubles. A vast number
of ladies have suffered and died from COM
plants common to their sex called, per-
haps. general debility, when, could the re a.
cause have been known, it would have heen
found to be Brightly disease, masquerading
under another name. In marked contrast
to the sad cases which have been above de-
scribed are the experiences of many prom
inent people who were as low as any of the
persons mentioned, but who we're remark
ably restored to former health and vlgor
by this Same remedy. Among this num-
