CINCINNATI, o., DEo. 2, 1889.
Messrs. Editors
have, during my professional career of
many years practice, treated large num-
Der OF various disorders, of which, perhaps
none have given me more trouble than the
nysterlous disease known as acute nephritis;
ana while 1t may seem strange, it is, never
theless, 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 well-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, Il
Is prevalent with oil classes, and usually con-
tinues until late in life.
One obstinate case which came under my
observation, was that of fireman of this
city who applied to me for treatment. The
case was diagnosed parenchymatous nephri-
tbs. The man was twenty-four years of ace;
plethorlc and light completed. He stated
tnat he had suffered from urinary troubles
from childhood, and that he had "doctored"
hundred times, each time improving some;
after which, IN a short while, he would re-
lapse into his former state of misery, Ipre-
scribed the usual therapeutics known to the
profession with the same result that my col
leagues had obtained. He got better for
awhile and then worse again; in fact, 80 bad
that he had to lay off for some time. He
suffered intense pain; so much so that
confess l had to resort to hypodermic iuiec-
tions of morphin. My druggist who knew
how disguated | was with the case, although
not willing to desert the man, advised me to
try remedy from which he (the druppia1
himself had derived great benefit. As a
drowning man catches at straw, pre
scrloed thus remedy, not letting my patient
however, know what was giving him; and
although not a believer in nor n patron of
patent medicines" Imust confess that after
my fireman had taken one bottle he grew
much better. made him continue its use
for period of two months, with the most
gratifying results; it really worked wonders,
ana he owes his euro 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 men
toned, have given considerable thought to
the subject OF acute nephritis, or kidney diff
hculty, ana md that Its manifestations are
most remarkable. 1t often appears without
any special symptoms of its own, or possibly
as sequel TO some other disease. 1t may
be SEQUEL to scarlatina, diphtherin and
other lllneRses, and even arise from prep
nancy. 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 micturi-
tlons and frequent changes in the color of
the urine, which at times diminishes percep-
tibly. If tho urine is entirely suppressed, the
case, probably, will terminate fatally in a
very few days. Dropsy is a consequence of
the suppression of urine. and the seyereness
of 1t Ia governed by the proportion of reten-
tlon. Tne nervous system becomes prostra-
ted with subsequent commissions and irrepu-
lar circulation of the blood, which, in my
estimation, eventually might cause a dis
eased heart to give out. As ] have remarked.
IN many kidney diseases-yes, even in Bright's
disease itself-there is no perceptible pain in
the back, and these troubles often assert
themselves in various symptoms-for in
stance, in troublesome diarrhea, blood
poison, impaired eyesight, nausea, loss of
appetite, disordered digestion, loss of con-
sciousness, husky voice and many other
complaints too numerous to mention, In
deed, thousands of people are suffering from
the first stages of Bright's disease to-day. and
they do not khotC IL.
In conclusion, would like to state that I
have, since my success with the fireman, re-
peatedly prescribed Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure, and if my professional
brethren could only be brought so far as To
overcome their prejudice against proprietary
medicines they would, undoubtedly, find
themselves recompensed for their supposed
sacrifice of liberty, as we'll as by the great
benefits that would accrue to the world.
Most sincerely,
o. ANDERSON, NJ. D.,
Superintendent.
