could eat nothing one day and was
ravenous the next; felt dull, indefinite
pains, and my stomach was out Of
order, but l did not think it meant
anything serious"
But have these common ailments
anything to do with Ethe fearful
Bright's disease which took so firm q
hold on you?"
Anything Why,they are the sure
indications OF the. first stages Of that
dreadful malady. The fact is, few
people know or realize what ails them,
and | am sorry to say that too few
physicians do either
THAT is strange statement, doc
tor"
but it is true one. The medical
profession have been treating symp.
toms instead of diseases for years, and
it is high time it ceased. We doctors
have been clipping off the twigs when
we should strike at the root. The
symptoms | have just mentioned or
any unusual action or irritation of the
water channels indicate the approach
of Bright's disease even more than a
cough announces the coming of con-
sumption. Wedo not treat the cough,
but try to help the lungs. We should
not waste our time trying to relieve
the headache, stomach, pains about
the body or other symptoms, but go
directly to the kidneys, the source Of
most of these ailments"
This, then, is what you meant
when you said more than one half the
deaths which occur arise from Bright's
disease, is it doctors"
Precisely. Thousands Of SO called
diseases are torturing people to-day,
when in reality it is Bright's disease
in some one Gifts many forms. Itisa
Hydra-headed monster aid the slight
estsymptoms should strike terror to ev-
cry one who has them. | can look back
and recall hundreds of deaths which
physicians declared at the time were
caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart
disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and
other common complaints which | see
now we're caused by Bright'S dis
ease"
And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at first2"
Every one of them, and might
have been cured IS | was by the timely
use of the same remedy-Warner's
Safe Cure. | am getting my eyes
thoroughly open in this matter and
think | am helping others to see the
facts and their possible danger also.
Why, there are no end OF truths
bearing on this subject. If you want
to know more about it go and see
Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick the
same as |, and is the healthiest man in
Rochester to-day. He has made a
stndy Of this subject and can give you
more facts than | can. Go, TOO, and
see DR.. baltimore, the chemist. at the
University. II you want facts there
are any quantity Of them showing the
alarming increase Of Bright's disease,
its simple and deceptive symptoms, and
there is but one way by which it can
be escaped"
Fully satisfied Of the truth and force
Of the Doctors words, the reporter
babe him good day and called on Mr..
Warner at his establishment on Exs
change street. At first Mr.. Warner
was inclined TO be reticent, but learn
ing that the information desired was
aboutthe alarming increase Of Brights
disease, his manner changed in
stantly, and he spoke very earns
estly:
1T is true that Bright's disease has
increased wonderfully, and we find, by
reliable statistics, that in the past ten
years its growth has been $50 per
cent. Look at the prominent men il
has carried of: Everett, Sumner,
Chase. Wilson, Carpenter, Bishops
Haven and Peck, and others. This iS
terrible, and shows greater growth
than that OF any other known COM
plant. 1t should be plain to every
one that something must be done 10
cheek this increase or there is no
knowing where it may end"
