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
mysterious disease known as acute nephritis;
and while 1t may seem strange, It is, never
theIess, 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
albumen; and, while children and young
people are especially liable TO its attacks, IL
is prevalent with oil 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 nephri-
tbs. The man was twenty-four years OF age;
plethoric and light complicated He stated
that he had suffered from urinary troubles
from childhood, and that he had "doctored"
q hundred times, each time improving SOME;
after which, in q short while, he would re-
lapse into his former state of misery 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,
30 bad that he had to lay Off
for some time. He suffered intense
pain; SO much SO that I confess l had to
resort 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 druggisD himself had derived
great benefit AS drowning man catches
at a straw, prescribed this remedy, not let
ting my patient, however, know what was
giving him; and, although not q believer in
nor a patron of patent medicines" j must
confess that after my fireman had taken one
bottle he grew much better. / made him
continue its use for period of two months,
with the most gratifying results; II really
worked wonders, and he owes his cure and
present perfect health solely to the remark

Since the recovery of the man above men,
toned, / have given considerable thought to
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 q sequel to some other disease. 1t NAV
be a sequel to scarlatina diphtheria and
other illnesses, and even arise from preg-
nancy. The first symptoms frequently show
themselves in the form of high, fierce and
intense pains in the lumbar region, "the
small of the back, troublesome micturitions
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 very
few days. Dropsy is a consequence
of the suppression of urine, and the Sc
vereness of it is governed by the proportion

Frustrated with subsequent commissions and
irregular circulation of the blood, which, in
my estimation, eventually might cause q
diseased heart to give ont AS l have re-
marked in many kidney diseases-yes, even
in Bright's disease itself-there is no per-
ceptible pain in the back, and these troubles
often assert themselves in various symp-
toms-for instance, in troublesome diar-
rhoa, blood poison, impaired eyesight nau-
sea- loss of appetite, disordered digestion,
loss of consciousness husky voice and many
other complaints too numerous to men
ton. Indeed, thousands of people are suf-
fering from the first stages of Brights dis
ease to day, and they do not k,ow 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 proprie-
tary medicines they would, undoubtedly,
find themselves recompensed for their sup
posed sacrifice of liberty, as well as by tho
great benefits that would accrue to the world
Most sincerely,
