UeSSrS Editors
have, during my professional career of
many years practice, treated a large num-
Der of various disorders, of which, perhaps,
none have given me more trouble than the
mysterious disease known as acute nephritis;
and while it 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
albumen; and while children and young
people are especially liable to its attacks, it
Is prevalent with all classes, and usually con
tinues 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 parenchymGtOUS nephri-
It's. The man was twenty-tOur years of age;
ilethOric and light Completed He stated
that he had suffered from urinary troubles
from childhood, and that lie had, 'dOctOred'
a hundred times, each time improving some:
after which. in a short while, he would re-
! lapse into his former state of misery. pre-
| 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, 50 bad
| that he had to lay off for some time. He
| suffered intense pain; so much so that l
| confess had to resort to hypOdermlc mice
! tiOns of mOrphia. My druggist, who knew
! how Disguised [ was with the case, although
| not willing to desert the man, advised me 10
| try a remedy from which he (the druggist
| himself. had derived great benefit. As =
| drowning man catches at a straw, | pre-
| scribed this remedy, not letting my patient,
| however, know what | was giving him; and.
although not believer III nor a patron of
/ patent medicines Unjust 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; ii 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 men
/ toned, have given considerable thought to
| the subject of acute nephritis, or kidney dit
ficulty and [ find that its manifestations are
most remarkable. 1t often appears without
| any special symptoms of its own, or possibly
| as q sequel to some other disease. 1t may
he a sequel to scarlatina, diphtheria and
other illnesses, and even arise from preg-
| nancy. The first symptoms frequently show
! themselves III the form of high, fierce and
intense pains in the lumbar region. the
small of the back troublesome mictur-
tons and frequent changes in the color of
the urine, which at times diminishes perCep-
tibly. Ii the urine ls entirely suppressed, the
case, probably, will terminate fatally in 4
very few days. DropSy is a consequence of
the suppression of urine, and the seyeTeuess
of it is governed by the proportion of reten-
ton. The nervous system becomes pr0stra-
ted with subsequent commissions and irregu-
lar circulation of the blood, which, in my
estimation, eventually might cause a dis
eased heart to give out. As I have remarked,
nmany kidney diseases-yes, even in Bright 5
disease itself-there is no perceptible pain in
the back, and these troubles often assert
themselves in various symptOms-f0r in
stance, in troublesome diarrhea. blood
poison, impaired eyesight, nausea, los o.!
appetite, disordered digestion, loss OF con
sCiOusness, husky voice and many ct sar
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 EHOr If.
In conclusion, l would like to state that
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 t.
overcome their prejudice against proprietary
medicines they would, undoubtedly, fin.
| themselves recoTnpensed for their suppose.
sacrifice of liberty, as well as by the erca
benefits that would accrue to the world.
Most sincerely,
