N.ssrs. Editors:
have, during my professional career
Of many years practice, treated large
number OF various disorders, If which
perhaps, none have given me more troa-
Die than the mysterious disease known as
acute nephritis and while il may seem
strange, 1t Is, nevertheless, 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 we'll
known, but terrible Brigh;'s disease, as
the kidneys contain large quantities Of
albumen and while children and young
people are especially liable 10 its attacks,
i, is prevalent with all classes, and US
ually 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 parenchyma,ous
nsphriiis. The man was tweniy-tour
years Of age ple,hoEic and light COM
plected. He stated that be had suffered
from urinary troubles from childhood,
and that be had "dociored' hundred
times, each time improving some after
which, in a short while, he would relapse
into his former state Of misery. pre-
scribed the usual therapeutics known 10
the profession with the same result that
nv colleagues had obtained. He got
better for a while and then worse again !;
in fact, so bad that he had to lay Oft for
some time. He suffered intense paIa /;
so much so that ! confess had 20 resort
to hypOdermic injections Of morphia.
NY druggist who knew how Disguised /
was with the case, although GOT willing
TO desert the man, advised me 10 Try
remedy from which he the druggist
himself. had derived great benefit. As
a drowning man catches az straw,
prescribed this remedy, not letting my
patient, however, know what was CIV
ing him and, although no, s. believer IN
nor patron Of patent medicines l
must confess that after my fireman had
taken one bottle he grew much better. l
made him continue It's use fIr period OF
two months, with the most gratifying re-
suits II really worked wonders ana he
owes bis cure and present perfect health
solely 10 the remarkable power of Warn
er's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the
remedy which prescribed, and ne used.
Since the recovery Of the man above
mentioned, | have given considerable
thought to the subject Of acute nephrltls,
or kidney difficulty, and | find that It's
manifestations are most remarkable. II
often appears without any special symP-
toms of its own. or possibly as a sequel
70 some other disease. IL may be Sc
guel 70 scarlatina, diphtheris, and other
illnesses, and even arise from 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 mic,uri-
tons and frequent changes IN the color OF
the urine which at times diminishes per
cepubly. If the urine is entirely sup
pressed, the case probably, will terminate
fatally in few days. Dropsy is con-
sequence Of the suppression Of urine, and
the severeness Of it is governed by the
proportion of retention. The nervous
system becomes Frustrated with subse-
quent commissions and irregular eircula-
ton Of the blood, which, in my estIma-
ton. eventually might cause diseased
heart 10 give out. AS | have remarked,
in many kidney diseases-yes, even II
Bright's disease itself-,here Is no per-
eeptible pain in the back, and these
troubles often assert themselves in vari'
GUS symptoms-for instance, IN trouble
some luiarrh9a, blood poison, impaired
eyesight, nausea, loss of appetite, disor'
dered digestion, loss Of consciousness,
husky voice and many other complaints
too numerous to mention. Indeed thOus-
ands of people are suffering from the hrs
stages of Bnght's disease to-day. anC
do not know 1t.
In conclusion, would like TO state
that have since my success with th'
fireman, repeatedly prescribed Warner
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and if m!
professional brethren could only be brough
SO far as TO overcome their prejudice
agains, proprietary medicines they would
undoubtedly, find themselves recomPen'
sed for their supposed sacrifice Of liberty
as well as by the great benefits tina
would acrue to the world.
Most sincerely,
