MEssRs EDIToRs-I have, durins
my professional career Of many Years
practice, trested a large number Of
various disorders, of which, perhaps,
none have given me more trouble than
the mysterious disease knowna as acute
nephilus; and while it may seem
strange, it is, nevertheless, true that
the physician is generally greatly an
1oyed by this mysterious trouble,
especially when the case is of heredi
tary origin. 1t is. doubtless, the first
stage Of the well known but terrible
Bright's disease, as the kidneys o
tain large quantities of albumen; and
while children and young people are
especially liable to its attacks, it il
prevalent with all classes, and usually
continues until late in life.
One obstinate case which came
under my observation, was that Of a
fireman of this city who applied to me
for treatment. The ease was diagnosed
neutrality-suspicious. nephritis. The man
was twenty four years of age; plethoric
aud light Completed. He stated that
he had suffered from urinary troubles
trem childhood, and that he had doe
tored' a hundred times, each time
improving some after which. in a
short while, he would relapse into his
former state of misery. [ prescribed
the usual therapeutics known to the
profession with the same result that
my colleagues had obtained. He got
better Tor awhile and then worse again;
in fact, so bad that he had to lay of
for some time. He suffered intense
pain so much 50 that | confess had
to resort to hypodermic Injections Of
morpbia. My druggist, who knew
how disguised | was with the case,
although not willing TO desert the
man, advised me to try a remedy
from which he (the ~druggist) himself
had derived great benefit. AS q
drowning man catches at a straw, |
prescribed this remedy, not letting my
patient, however, know what | was
giving him aud, although NOT a be.
lever in nor a patron Of patent
medicines" | must confess that after
my fireman had taken one bottle be
grew much better. | made him con.
tinue its use for a period of two
months, with the most gratifying re
sults it really worked wonders and
he owes his cure and present perfect
health solely to the remarkable power
Of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, the remedy which | prescribed,
aud be used.
Since the recovery of the man above
mentioned, | have given considerable
thought to the subject of acute neph-
ritis, or kidney difficulty, and | find
that its manifestations are most re-
markable. 1t often appears without
any special symptoms Of its own, OF
possibly as a sequel TO some other dis.
ease. 1t may be a sequel TO scarlatina,
diphtheria. and other illnesses, and
even arise from pregnancy. The first
symptoms frequently show themselves
in the form Of high, fierce and intense
pains in the lumbar region, "the
small Of the back" troublesome MET
uritiOns and frequent changes in the
color OF the urine. which at times di.
minishes perceptibly. If the urine i:
entirely suppressed, the case probably
will terminate fatally in Q very few
days. Dropsy is a consequence Of the
suppression Of urine, and the severe.
ness Of IL Is governed by the proper,
ton Of retention. The nervous system
becomes prostrated with subsequent
eonyulsions and irregular circulation
Of the blood, which, in my estimation
eventually might cause a diseased
heart to give out. AS | might hav,
remarked, in many kidney diseases
yes even in Bright's disease itself
there is no perceptible pain in thu
back, and these troubles often asserI
themselves in various symptoms-fol
instance, in troublesome diarrhea
blood poison, impaired eyesight, nau.
sea, loss Of appetite, disordered diges
ton, loss Of consciousness husky voicI
and many other complaints too nu
merous to mention. Indeed thousand
Of people are suffering from the frs
stages Of Bright's difease to day ant
they do 9ot know it.
In conclusion, | would like to stat
that / have since my success with tn,
fireman, repeatedly prescribed War
ner's Safe Kidosy and Liver Cure
and ifmy professional brethren coul,
oniS ~ brought so far as so overeom
their prejudice against proprietar
medicines they would, undoubtedl
find themselves recompensed for thei
supposed sacrifice of liberty, as well a
by thegreat benefits that would accru
TO tho world. Most sincerely,
