.NeSsrS. Editors!

many years practice, treated Il large num-
Der OF various disorders, OF which, perhaps,
none have given Inc more trouble than the
mysterious disease known as ncnte nephri.
lis, and while 1t may seem strange, it is,
nevertheless, true, that the physician is
generally greatly annoyed by this mystic
rious trouble, especially when the case is
OF hereditary origin. 1t is, doubtless, the
first stage OF the well-known, but terrible
Brights disease, as the kidneys contain
large quantities OF albumen; and while
children land young people are especially
liable to its attacks, it is prevalent with all
classes, and usually continues until late in
life.
One obstinate case that came under my
observation, was that ola fireman OF this
city who applied to me for treatment. The
case was diagnosed parenChymatous neph-
ritis. The man was twenty.iour years OF
age; plethoriC and light Completed. He
stated that he had suffered from urinary
troubles from childhood, and that he had
"doctored" hundred times, each time
improving some; after which, in short
while, he would relapse into his former
state OF misery. ] prescribed the usual
therapeutics known TO the profession with

then worse again in fact, so bad that he
had to lay of for some time. He suffered
intense pain so much SO that | confess

who knew how disguised was
with the case, although not willing to de.

from which he (tho druggist himself had
derived great benefit. ASA drowning man

not letting my patient, however, know
what was giving him; and, although not n

he owes his cure and present perfect health
solely to the remarkable powerof Warmers

which prescribed, and he used.
Since the recovery OF the man above
mentioned, l have given considerable
thought TO the subject OF acute nephritis

manifestations are most remarkable. II

The first symptoms frequently show them

pains in the lumbar region, "the small Of

case, probably, will terminate fatally in n

the suppression OF urine, and the Sc

benefits that would accrue to the world.
