Life Is IA constant struggle for exist.
eLce and as the httest always survives,
IL Is the duty Of every man To acqualnt
himself with the methods Of prevention
and cure of influences which would
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 ago "a celebrated physician of Lon
don discovered what is known as
Brlght's disease of the kidneys. While
most of the characteristics of this
dIeadful malady have been known, yet
one OF its most peculiar features Is OF
recent discovery, i. e that it PRODUCES
general arrangement of the tissues, II
Involves other organs uf the body long be
fore the kidneys themselves seem To bt
affected. There is no pain in the kid
ueys nor IN their vicinity. The water
may not he a~lbuminous; there may be
no casts, and yet Bright's disease may
exist and disorder the entire system.
Prof. VIM. IL. Thompson, M. d., Of
the chair of Materia Medica, in TIT
university of the city Of New York, i'll
a recent lecture before the students OF
Bellevue college hospital, says ''Brlght's
Disease has no symptoms of its own,
but la the symptoms Of every Other
disease you can think Of" Albumen
and casts may or may not be present;
nor is the specific gravity an absolute
and infallibie 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 it is a very deceptive disease. If II
man breaks "a limb he will expect pain
in the injured member; If a 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
IN the other organs of the body. These
sufferings are only the effects, the cause
is behind them, and If that cannot BIZ
removed there can be no cure of the de
fects. Some of the cummonest 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 thu
head ,throbbing disturbed headaches, Wis
ion; the memory loses its power. These
are secondary symptoms Of Bright's
Disease.
Again, the lungs are a favorite field
If operations, and diseased kidneys pro.
duce pleurisy, bronchitis, with or with
out cough, great paleness, sudden and
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 art
wollen by reason of kidney disease, be

ur ~valvular disease follows, with greul
distress under the breast bone. Thest
are secondary symptoms Of Bright's
Disease.
DR.. George johnson, a greatauthority.
over 20 years ago pointed out that What
eve disease affects the kidneys produce
the same effect in the liver, and the
purging of blood, nausea, vomiting OF
bile and food, indigestion, constipation.
piles, dizziness, persistent diarrhRa
