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 troub-
lie than the my sterious 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. 1t is,
doubtless, the first stage of the we'll
known, but terrible Bright's disease, as
the kidneys contain large quantities of
albunen and while children and young
people are especially liable to its attacks,
it is prevalent with all classes, and usual
ly continues until late in life.
One obstinate case which came under
my observation, was that of fireman of
this city whoapplied to me for treatment
The case was diagnosed parenchymatous
nephritls. The man was twenty-four
years ef age; plethoric and light COM

from urinary troubles from childhood.
and that he had "doctored" hundred
times, each time improving some after

into his former state of misery. ! pre-

the profession with the same result that
my colleagues had obtained. He got bet

fact, so bad that he had to lay off for some
time. Suffered insense pain, so much that

it really worked wonders and he owes
