MeSsrs. Editors:
l 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 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 where the case is
of hereditary origin. 1t is, doubt
less, the first stage of the we'll
known, but terrible Bright's dis
ease, as the kidneys contain large
quantities of albumen; and while
children and young people are es-
pecially 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 nephri-
It's. The man was tWenty-fOur
years of age; plethOric and light
Completed. He stated that he had
suffered from urinary troubles from
childhood, and that he had "doc-
tOred" hundred times, each time
improving some: after which, in a
short while, he would relapse into
his former state of misery. / pre-
scribed 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 tact, so
bad that he had to lay off for some
time. He suffered intense pain so
much so that / 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( him
self, had derived great benefit. AS
a drowning man catches at a straw,
prescribed this remedy, not let
ting my patient, however, know
what | was giving him; and, al
though not believer in nor a pat
ron of "patent medicines" must
confess that after my fireman had
taken one bottle he grew much bet
ter. [ made him continue its use
for period of two months, with
the most gratifying results it real
ly worked wonders and he owes his
cure and present perfect health sole
ly to the remarkable power of War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
the remedy which 1 prescribed, and
he used.
Since the recovery of the man
above mentioned, l have given con-
siderable thought to the subject of
acute nephritis, or kidney difficulty,
and | find that its manifestations
are most remarkable. 1t often APP
pears without any special symp-
toms of its own, or possibly as Sc
quel to some other disease. 1t may
be sequel to scarlitina, diphtheria,
and other illnesses, and even arise
from pregnancy. The first symp-
toms frequently show themselves
iii the form of high, fierce and in
tense pains in the lumbar region,
"the small of the back" trouble
some micturitions and frequent
changes in the color of the urine
which at times diminishes percep-
tibly. If the urine is entirely sup
pressed, the case, probably, will
terminate fatally in very few
days. Dropsy is a consequence of
the suppression of urine, and the
severeness of it is governed by the
proportion of retention. The ner-
vOus system becomes Frustrated
with subsequent commissions and
circulation of the blood,
which, in my estimation, eventual |
ly might cause a diseased heart to |
give out. AS | have remarked, in |
many kidney diseases-yes, even in
Bright's disease itself-there is no |
pain in the back, and |
these troubles often assert them
selves in various symptOms-fOr |
IuSlduCeS Ill lEOuDlSSOIue uldEIHe6d, |
blood poison, impaired eyesight,
nausea, loss of appetite, dlsOrdered |
loss of consciousness, hus-
ky voice and many other COM
plants too numerous to mention. |
Indeed, thousands of people are
from the first stages of
Bright's disease to-day and they do
not knOW it.
In conclusion, l would like to |
state that have, since my success
with the fireman, repeatedly pre-
'cribed Warmers Safe Kidney and |
Liver Cure, and if my professional
brethren could only be brought so
lar as to overcome their prejudice
against proprietary medicines they |
would, undoubtedly, find them
selves recOnpensed for their sup
posed sacrifice of liberty, as well as
Oy the great benefits that would ac- i
rue to the world.
Most sincerely,
o. ANDERSON, NJ. D.,
Superintendent. /
