Messrs. Editors:
1 have, during my professional career of
many years. practice, treated large num-
Der of various diorders, of which, perhaps,
none have given me more trouble than the
mysterious disease known as acute nephri-
tbs; and while it may seem strange it is new
erthelesS, true, that the physician is gener-
ally 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
liable to its attacks, it is prevalent with all
classes, and usually continues until late in
life.
One obstinate case which came under my
observation, was that of fireman of this
city who applied to nae for treatment. The
case was diagnosed parenchymatous neph-
ritis. The man was twsnty-four years of
age; plethoric and light Completed. He
stated that he had suffered from urinary
troubles from childhood, and that he had
Ndoctored" hundred times, each time i'm
proving some; after which, in short
while, he would relapse into his former
state of misery. I prescribed
the usual therapeutics known to
the profession with the same
result that my colleagues had obtained.
He got better for awhile 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 l confess had to resort
to hypodermic injections of morphia. My
druggist who knew how disguised l was
with the case, although not willing to de-
cert the man, advised me to try a remedy
from which he (the druggist himself, had
derived great benefit. As a drowning man
catches at straw, prescribed this rem
edy, not letting my patient, however, know
what was giving him; and. although not
a believer in nor patron of 'patent med
icines," L must confess that after my fire.
man had taken one bottle he grew much
better. l made him continue its use for a
period of two months, with the most graf
flying results; it really worked wonders
and he owes his cure and present 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
\ 10
thought to the subject of acute nephritis,
or kidney difficulty, and I 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. It may be sequel to
scarlatina, diphtheria, 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 micturitions and fire.
qnent changes in the color of the
urine which at times diminishes
perceptibly. If the urine is entirely
suppressed, the case, probably, will termi-
nate fatally in a very few days. Dropsy is
consequence of the suppression of urine,
and the severeness of it is governed by the
proportion of retention. The nervous sys-
TEN becomes Frustrated with subsequent
commissions and irregular circulation of
the blood, which, in my estimation, event
ually might cause diseased heart to give
out. As 1 have remarked, in many kidney
diseases even in Bright's disease it
self-there is no perceptible pain in the
back, and these troubles often assert them
selves in various symptoms-for instance,
in troublesome diarrhoea, blood poison,
impaired eyesight, nausea, loss of appetite,
disordered digestion, loss of consciousness,
husky voices and many other complaints
too numerous to mention. Indeed thou
sands of people are suffering from the first
stages of Bright's disease to-day, and they
do not know 1T.
In conclusion, would like to state that l
have, 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 proprie-
tary medicines they would, undoubtedly
find themselves recompensed for their sup
posed sacrifice of liberty, as well ss by the
great benefits that would accrue to the
world. Most sincerely,
0. ANDERSON, M. D.,
Superintendent.
