Aessrs. Editors:
1 have, during ny professional career OF
many years. practice, treated a large number
OF various disorders, of which, perhaps, none
nave given me more trouble than the mystic
rious disease known as acute nephritis; and
while it may seem strange, it 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 Unknown,
but terrible Bright's disease, as the kidneys
contain large quantities of albumen; and
while children and young people are es lecial-
ly 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 Q fireman of this city
who aDplied to ne for treatment. Tho case
was diagnosed p-arenchymatous nephritis.
The man was twenty-four years OF age; pie
thoric and light Completed. He stated that
he had suffered from urinary troubles from
childhood, and that he had "doctored" q
hundred times, each time improving some;
after which, in q short while, he would relapse
1 to his former state of misery. prescribed
the usual therapeutics known to the profess
sion with the same result that my colleagues
had obtained. He got better for q while and
then worse again; in t. ct, so bad that he had
to lay off for some time. He suffered intense
pain; SO much so that / confess 1 had to re-
sort to hypodernic injections of morphia. My
druggist, who knew how disguised 1 was with
the case, although not willing to desert 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,
l prescribed this remedy, not letting my pa
tient, however, know what I was giving him;
and, although not a be in nor a patron
of "patent medicines" 1 n ust confess that
after my fireman had taken one bottle he
grew much better. / made him continue its
use for a period of two months, with the most
gratifying results; 1t really worked wonders,
and he owes his cure and present perfect
health solely to the remarkable power of
w rner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, tie
remedy which I prescribed, and he used.

most remarkable. 1t often appears without
any special symptoms of its own, or possibly
as a sequel to some other d .sease. 1t may be
a sequel to sscarlatina, diphtheria, and 9th

entirely suppressed, the case, probably, will
terminate fatally in a very few days. Dropsy

in Bright's disease itself-there is no percepti-

assert themselves in various. symptoms-for
instance, in troublesome diarrh1l, blood
