 srecial Dread--A Profes ssionai ESperie%ce.
 Few things give more pain than dread or apprehension. Most people are able to face apparent danger heroically, but the sudden and unexpected coming of some indefinite calamity very naturally strikes terror to even the bravest. For this reason Ii ghtniny and tornadoes are considered terrible their coming and going are sudden, unan- nounced and unknown For this same reason an unknown disease, some poison in the blood, some malady that is gradually under mining the life, is specially dreaded by all thinking people. And, indeed, there are good reasons for such dread, for modern science has discovered that some virulent disorders show the least signs in the1r be- ginnings while they have the worst possible symptoms. We know of many persons who have dull and uncertain pains in various DOT one day and apparently well the next who have an enormous appetite at times and bathing of food soon there after. Such persons are really in a dangerous condition, even though they may not realize it. The following state ment of most prominent physician, who has had unusual opportunities for investiga- tion,is of so striking and important nature that it will be read with interest by all:

 OFFICE: No. 271s WEST EIGHTH STREET, ~) U. ANDERSON, M. D., SUPERINTENDENT. CINCINNATI. O., DEC. ?, 1882. ) Messrs. Editors
 have, during my professional career of many years practice, treated large num- Der 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 theless, true, that the physician is generally greatly annoyed by this mysterious trouble, especially when the case is of hereditary origin, It 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 l people are especially liable to it's attacks, 1t | is prevalent with all classes, and usually con tinues until late in life.
 One obstinate case which came under my l observation, was that of a fireman of this i city who applied to me for treatment. The l case was diagnosed parenchymatous nephri- us. The man was twenty -four years of age: plethorlc and light cemplected. He stated l that he had suffered from urinary troubles from childhood, and that he had ''doctored" 1 hundred times, each time improving some; | after which, in short while, he would re- | lapse into hls former state of misery. Ipre- | scrlbed the usual therapeutics known to the l profession with the same result that my col ! leagues had obtained. He got better fer awhile and then worse again; in fact, so bad 1 that he had to lay off for some time. He suffered intense pain; 50 much so that 1 confess had to resort to hypodermic injec- l how disgusted was with the case, although l not willing to desert the man. advised me to | try remedy from which he (the druggist) | himself, had derived great benefit As a
 drowning man catches at straw, l pre- | scribed this remedy, not letting my patient however, know what ] was giving him. and | although not believer in nor patron of l "patent medicines" Imust confess that after
 my fireman had taken one bottle he grew | much better. Imade him continue it's use l tor period of two months with the most l gratifying results; 1t really worked wonders, | and he owes his cure and present perfect l health solely to the remarkable power of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the | remedy which prescribed, and he used. | Since the recovery of the man above men
 toned, l have given considerable thought to l the subject of acute nephritis, or kidney diff l hculty, and find that it's manifestations are
 most remarkable. It often appears without
 any special symptoms of its own, or possibly 1 as sequel to some other disease. It may l be sequel to scarlatina, diphtheria and 1 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 micturi- 1 tons and frequent changes in the color of I the urine, which at times diminishes percep- tibly. If the urine is entirely suppressed, the
 case, probably, will terminate fatally in a
 very few days Dropsy is consequence of the suppression of urine. and the severeness | of 1t is governed by the proportion of reten- | ton. The nervous system becomes prostra- 1 ted with subsequent convulsions and irregu- I lar circulation of the blood, which, in my estimation, eventually might cause a dis eased heart to give out. As ha ve remarked, | in many kidney diseases-yes. even in Bright $ | disease itself-there is no perceptible pain in | the back, and these troubles often assert | themselves i'll various symptoms-for in- | stance, in troublesome diarrhea, blood poison, impaired eyesight, nausea, loss of
 appetite, disordered digestion, loss of con-
 sciousness, husky voice and many other
 complaints too numerous to mention. h.
 deed, thousands of people are suffering from
 the first stages of Bright's disease to-day, and | tbey do not Ello1U it.
 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 proprietary
 medicines they would, undoubtedly, find
 themselves recompensed for their supposed i sacrifice of liberty, as well as by the great
 benefits that would accrue to the world l Most sincerely,
 o. ANDERSON, M. D., | Superintendent.
