NeSSrs. Editors. | have, during my
professional career of many years prac-
tice, treated a large number of various
disorders, of which, perhaps, none have
given me more trouble than the mystic
riOuS disease known as acute nephritis;
and while it may seem strange, it is new
ertheless true, that the physician is gem
orally greatly annoyed by this mysterious
trouble, especially when the case is of he
reditary 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
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
! nephritis. The man was tWenty-fOur
years of age, plethOric and light COM
plected. He stated that he had suffered
from urinary troubles from childhood, and
that he had "dOctored a hundred times,
each time improving some, after which, in
a short while. he would relapse into his
former state of misery. | prescribed the
usual therapeutics known to the profess
| sion, with the same result that my col
! leagues had obtained. He got better for
while and then worse again-in fact, so
| bad that he had to lay off for some time.
He suffered intense pain-so much so
/ that | confess | had to resort to
/ hypOdermic Injections of mOrphia. Ny
druggist, who knew how Disguised L was
with the case, although not willing to de-
| sert the man, advised me to try a remedy
from which he (the druggist himself had
derived great benefit. As a drowning
man catches at a straw, prescribed this
remedy, not letting my patient, however,
know what | was giving him; and, al
though not believer in nor a patron OF
| ''patent Medicines 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 Sit reallywOrked
wonders, and he owes his cure and pres
/ ent perfect 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
mentioned, / have given considerable
thought to the subject of acute nephritis,
or kidney difficulty, and l find that its
manifestations are most remarkable. It
/ often appears without any special symp-
! toms of its own, or possibly as a sequel to
some other disease. 1t may be a sequel
! tOscarlatina, diphtheriaand other illnesses,
and even arisefrom pregnancy, 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 micturitiOus and fire.
/ quent 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 a very few days,
DrOpsy is consequence OF the
suppression Of mine, and the Sc
! yereness OF it is governed by the proper
I ton OF retention. The nervous system
becomes Frustrated with subsequent con-
vulsiOns and irregular circulation of the
blood, which liz nay estimation, eventually
might cause a diseased heart to give out.
! AS have remarked in many kidney dis
/ eases-yes, even in hright's disease itself
| there is no perceptible pain in the back,
and these troubles often assert themselves
i'll various symptOms-tOr instance, Ia
/ troublesome diarrhGa. blood poison. I'M
/ paired eyesight, nausea. loss Of appetite
1 disOrdered digestiQn, loss of CONSCIOUSNESS,
husky voice and many other complaints
too numerous to mention. IndeeA thOus-
ands of people are suffering from the first
stages of Bright's disease to-day, and then
| do not kpQic ID,
In conclusion, would like to state that
nave, since my success with the fireman,
repeatedly prescribed Warmers Safe Kid
ney and Liver Cure, and if my professional
brethren could only be brought so far as
to overcome their prejudice against pre-
prietary medicines they WOald undoubted-
ly find themselves Fec0mpensed for their
supposed sacrifice of liberty, as well as by
the great benefits that would accrue to
the world. Most sincerely,
