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 tron
bic than the mysteriour disease known
as acute nephritls and while 1t may seem
strange, it is, nevertheless, true, that
the physician is generally greatly
annoyed BY this mysterious trouble,
especially when the case is Of heredi-
tary origin. It is, doubtless, the first
stage of the well.knOwn, but terrible
Bnght's disease. as the kidneys cou
tain large quantities of albumen; and
while children aud young people are
especially liable 10 It's attacks, it is
prevalent with all csses and usually con-
tiuues until late in life.
One obstinate case which came under
my observation. was that OF fireman
Of this city who applied 10 me for treat
ment. The case was diagnosed par
enchy matous nephritis. 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, hc
would relapse into his former state Of
misery. | prescribed the usual thera-
peutics known 10 the profession with
the same result that my colleagues had
obtained. He go. better for a while
and then worse again; in fact. so bad
that he had TO lay of for sonc time
He suffered intense pam; so much so
that confess had to resort TO hypo
dermlc injections Of morphia. Ny drug
gist who knew how disgnsled was with
the case although not willing to desert
man, advised me to try remedy from
which he (lhe druggisD himself, had
derived great benefit. As a drowning
man catches at a straw, | prescribed
this remedy, not letting my pa!lent,
! however, know what ] was giving blm;
and, although not a believer in nor a
patron of patent medicine | must
confess that after my fireman had taken
Que bottle he grew much better. |
made him continne its Use for a period
of two months, with the most crafty
log results; it really worked wonders
and he owes his cure and present per-
feet health solely 10 the remarkable
power OF Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, the remedy which l pre-
scrlbed, and be used.
Since the recovery OF the man above
mentioned, lave given considerable
thought to the subject Of acute nephritis
or Kidney difficulty, aud Gnd tnat its
manifestations are most remarkable. II

toms of its own, or po siby as a sequel
to some other disease. 1. may be a
sequel 10 scarlatIna, diphtheria, aud
other illnesses, and eycn arise from
