| have, during my professional career of
many years practice, treated large num-
Der of various disorders, OF which, per
haps, none have given me more trouble
than the mysterious disease known as
acute nephritis and while it may seem
strange, it 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, rs the kid
neys contain large quantities of albumen
aud while children and young people are
especially liable to its attacks, it is preva-
lent with all classes, and usually contln
ues 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
nephrltis, The man was twenty-four years
OF age; plethoric and light Completed.
He st ted that he had suffered from urin-
airy troubles from childhood, and that he
had "doctored' hundred times, each
time improving some, after which, in a
short while, he would relapse into his
former state of ms ry. | prescribed the
usual therapeutics known to the profession
with the same result that my colleagues
had obtained. He got better for while
and then worse again; in fact, So bad tha,
he had to lay off for some time He suf

druggist himself, had derived great ben

| prescribed this remedy, not letting my
patient, however, know what l was giving
him; md, although not believer in nor
patron of "patent medicines" must
confess that after my fireman had taken
one bottle he grew much better. ! made
him continue its use for a period Of two
mcaths, with the most gratifying results;
il really worked wonders and he owes his
cure aud 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
mentioned, | have given considerable
thought to the subject of acute nephritis,
or kidney difficulty, and find that its
manifestations are most remarkable. 1t
often appears without any special symp
toms of its own, or possibly as sequel to
some other disease. II may be sequel
to scarlatipa, diptheria, and other illness,
and even arise from pregnancy. The first
symptoms frequently show themselves in
the form Of high, fierce and intense pains
in the lumbar region, "tbe small of the
