 Messrs. Editors.
 I have, during my professional career of many years practice, treated large number of various disorders, of which, perhaps, none have given me more trouble than the mysterious disease known as acute nephrltis j; and while it may seem strange, 1t is, never theIess, true, that the physician is generally greatly annoyed by this mysterious trouble, especially when the case is of hereditary ori- gin. It is, doubtless, the first stage of the welLknown, but terrible Bright's disease, as the kidneys contain large quantities of albu- men and while children and young people are especially liable to it's attacks, it is preva- lent with all classes, and usual continues until late in life.
 One obstinate case which came under my observation was that of fireman of this city who applied to me for treatment. The case was diagnosed parenchymatous nephri- tis. The man was twenty-four years of age plethoric and light complected. He stated that he had suffered from urinary troubles from childhood, and that he had 'doctored" 8 hundred times, each time improving some !; after which, in short while, he would re- lapse into his former state of misery. 1 pre- scribed the usual therapeutics known to the profession with the same result that my col leagues had obtained. He got better for while and then worse again in fact, so bad that he had to lay off for some time. He suffered intense pam so much so that con fess had to resort to hypodermic injections of morphia. My druggist who knew how disgusted was with the case, although not willing to desert the man, advised me to try 8 remedy from which he (the druggist) him self had derived great benefit. As drown ing man catches at straw, prescribed this remedy, not letting my patient, however, know what was giving him i; and, although not believer in nor 8 patron of 'tpatent medicines" J must confess that after my fireman had taken one bottle he grew much better. I made him continue it's use for period of two months, with the most gratify- ing results 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 I prescribed, and he used.
 Since the recovery of the man above men, tioned, have given considerable thought to the subject of acute nephritis, or kidney diff fculty, and find that it's manifestations are most remarkable. It often appears without any special symptoms of it's own, or possibly as sequel to some other disease. 1t may be 8 sequel to scarlatina, diphtheria, and other illnesses, and even arise from pregnancy. The first symptoms frequently show them selves in the form of high, fierce and intense pains in the lumbar region, 'the small of the back, troublesome m1ctur1tlons and frequent changes in the color of the urine which at times diminishes perceptibly. If the urine is entirely suppressed, the case, probably, will terminate fatally in 8 very few days. Dropsy is consequence of the suppression of urine, and the severeness of it is governed by the proportion of retention. The ner- vous system becomes prostrated with sub sequent conVulsions and irregular circulation of the blood, which, in my estimation, even- tually might cause 8 diseased heart to give out. As have remarked, in many kidney diseases-yes, even in Bright's disease itself there is no perceptible pain in the back, and these troubles often assert themselves in various symptoms-for instance, in trouble some diarrhoea, blood poison, impaired eye sight, nausea, loss of appetite, disordered di gestion, loss of consciousness, husky voice and many other complaints too numerous to mention. Indeed thousands of people are suffering from the first stages of Bright's disease to day, and ttey do not E10ao it.
 In conclusion, would like to state that l have, since my success with the fremen, re- peatedly prescribed Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and if my professional brethren could only be brought so far as to overcome their prejudice against proprietary medicines they would, undoubtedly, find them selves recompensed for their supposed sacri- fee of liberty, as well as by the great bene- fits that would accrue to the world.
 Most sincerely,
 o. ANDERSON, M. D.,
