Disease of tho Kidneys.

THE frequency and fatality of diseases of the
Kidneys give an especial interest to the study
and investigation of them, and elevate any dis
covery as to their essential natures or the means
Oh curing them, to very important place in the
art and science of medicine. When the fact Is
recalled that the Kidneys are the great scayen
gers OF the human body, their office is to re-
move from the blood any and all impurities which
may exist in 1t; that If this office be entirely
shut up life cannot be long maintained The
products of used-up and worn-out principles of
the human body, retained In the blood so poison
the nervous system, that its functions or duties
VIII be arrested, the brain will cease to take cog
ntzance of surrounding persons and objects con-
seriousness Will be obliterated, the vital knot will
become congcsted, the heart and lungs will Gems,
to perform their part in the phenomena of life
they stop. Ere this. however. the most terrible
FORM OF al human suffering Is apt to take place.
ana gives an additional horror to the hour OF
death. II the offices of the Kidneys be so essen
tal 10 lie, that 1t must cease soon after they
cease to act, the conclusion is unavoidable ,lnt
any deviation from the performance OF these
oihces must be attended with arrangement ot
health. The urine is the depurating secretion
eliminated from the blood by the Kidneys, -- tho
channel by which morbihc agents are carried ont
OF the general circulation, and the blood pre-
served IN healthy quantity and quality. II 1t
fails to do this, disease follows as n necessary
sequence. TO preserve health 1t is necessary TO
preserve healthy condition of the kidncys.
This, OF course, is attained by temperance in all
the reatioils OF lie-diet, clothing, exercise and
residence. But disease and suffering are iney-
ltaole, they seem to be part of the curse
pMt upon man rs the fruits of his disohediencc
while sin has brought its punishmemts man still
mas the consolation that God has placed within
ms reach balm for every ill., and that by inn
proving the opportunities thus given, he may be
relieved of his suffering live in the endowment OF
comparative comfort, and attain a green old ace.
. When we recall the offices of the Kidneys. -
that OF removing the worn-out tissue-eements
from the blood, 1T is easy to understand how
they may become diseased. Acrid and ncid con-
ditions OF the blood are very liable TO be attended
with Kidney disorders. These sources of irrita.
ton may lead to various forms of Kidney mala-
dies, as Dropsy, Diabetes Brght's Disease. in
which albumen, or the element of our food which
corresponds with the white of an egg, is carried
OH ~ the urine, causing emaciaton and ulti-
inately death. We all know how intractahlc
these diseases are; that heretofore they have. in
large per cent. of cases, proved fatal. Medical
science Is very much at sea as to their manage
ment. What we desire is q remedy that will give
tone to the Kidneys, build up the blood, DESTROY
It's acrid character, and cure the various maladcs
from which these organs suffer- Our attention
mas been recently called by several physicians to
Hunts Remedy, Kidney medicine used by
them In their practice. 1t seems to be one of the
very Few combinations out Of the multitude that

the Kidneys to more intense action and Tins
