Messrs Editors:
| have, during my professional career of
many years practice, treated a 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 it may seem strange, ii 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 Bright's disease, as the kidneys
contain large quantities of albumcn; and
while children and young people are especially
liable to its attacks, II is prevalent with all
classes, and usually 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
ease was diagnosed parency matOus nephritis.
The man was twenty-fOur years of age; pleth-

In conclusion, would like to state that

could only be brought so far as to overcome
their prejudice against proprietary medicines,
recompensed for their supposed sacrifice of
liberty, as well as by the great benefits that
would accrue to the world.
