4 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, it is, nevertheless,
true, that the physician is generally greatly
annoyed by thisInysterious trouble, especially
when the case Is of hereditary origin 1t is
doubtless, the first stage of the weIl-known,
but terrible Bright's disease, as the kidneys
contain large quantities of albumen: and
while children and young people are es recial-
ly liable to its attacks, it is prevalent with all
clGs'es, and usually continues until Late in life.
One obstinate case which came under my
observation, was that of a fireman of this city
who a1plied to ne for treatment. The case
was diagnosed parenchymatous nephritis
The man was twenty-four years Of age; pie
thoric and light Completed. He stated that
he had suffered from urinary troubles from
chidhood, and that he had ''doctored" a
hundred times, each time improving some /;
after which, in short while, he would relapse
ito his former state of misery. | prescribed
the usual therapeutics known to the profess
sion with the same result that my colleagues
had obtained. He got better for while and
then worse again; in CT, SO bad that he had
TO lay off for some time. He suffered intense
pain; so much so that l confess had to re-
sort to hypodermic injections Of morpAia. 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 {;
and, although not believer in nor patron
of patent medicines" | must confess that
after my fireman had taken one bottle he
grew much better. madeshim continue it's
use for period of two months, with the mos {
gratifying results it really worked wonders,
and he owes his cure and present perfect
health solely to the remarkable power of
W"rner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, tie
remedy which prescribed, and he used.
Since the recovery Of the IN n above en-
toned, | have given considerable thought to
the subject of acute nephritis, or kidney diffi-
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 Escarlatina, diphtheria, and 9th
err 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 m cturitions and frequent
changes in the color of the urine which at
times diminishes Ierceptibly. II the urine is
entirely suppressed, the case, probably, will
terminate fatally in very few days. Dropsy
is a consequence of the suppression of urine,
| and the severeness of 1t is governed by the
proportion of retention. The nervous system
becomes pros rated with subsequent convul-
which, in my estimation, eventually might
cause a diseased heart to give out. As Ihave
remarked, in many kidney diseases-yes, even
in Bright's disease itself-there Is no perez pti-
| BILE pain in the back, AMI these troubles often
! assert themselves in various symptoms--for
instance, in troublesome diarrhe', blood
! poison, impaired eyesght, nausea, loss OF
appetite, disOrdered digestion, loss of con-
seriousness, husky voice and many other COM
| plants too numerous to mention. Indeed,
thousands Of people are suffering from the
| first stages, OF Bright's disease to-day, and
| they do not kaoO Il.
| In conclusion, would like to state that
! have. since my success with the fireman, re-
! peatedly prescribed Warmers 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 themselves rec
ompensed for their supposed crifce of lib
| ertv, az wei as by the great benefits that would
accrue to the world. Most sincerely,
