Messrs. Editors:
1 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 mystic
rious disease known as acute nephritis; and
while 1t may seem strange, 1t is, nevertheless,
true, that the physician is generally greatly
annoyed by this mysterious trouble, especially
when the case Is of hereditary origin. 1t is,
doubtless, the first stage of the well-known,
but terrible Brighes disease, as the kidneys
contain large quantities OF albumen; and
while children and young people are esnecial-
ly liable to its attacks, it Is 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 case
was diagnosed parenchymatous nephrtis.
The man was twenty-four years of age; pie
thoric and light completed. He stated that
he had suffered from urinary troubles from
childhood, and that he had "doctored" q

the usual therapeutics known to the profes-
sion with the same result that my colleagues
mad obtained. He got better for while and
then worse again; in fact, so bad that he had
to lay oil for some time. He suffered intense
pain; SO much so that l confess had to re-
sort to hypodermic injections of morphia. My
druggist, who knew how disguised was with
the case, although not willing to desert the
man, advised me to try remedy from which
| he (the druggist) himself had derived great
benefit. As drowning man catches at straw,
prescribed this remedy, not letting my pa
tient however, know what was giving him;

after my fireman had taken one bottle he

use for period of two-months, with the most

and he owes his cure and present perfect

Since the recovery of the m above men

the subject of acute nephritis, or kidney diff
Guilty, and find that its manifestations are
most remarkable. 1t often appears without
any special symptoms Of its own, or possibly
as a sequel to some other disease. 1t may be
a sequel to scarlatina, diphtheria, and 9TH

| The first symptoms frequently show them
| selves in the form of high, fierce and intense
I pains in the lumbar region, "the small of the
back" troublesome mcturitions 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 ia very few days. Dropsy
is consequence of the suppression OF urine,
and the severeness Of 1t is governed by the

becomes prostrated with subsequent convul-
sons and irregular circulation of the blood,

assert themselves in various symptoms-for
