| NesSrs. Editors:
l have, during my 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
rlous disease known as acute nephritis; and
Whlle 1t 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!l->nown,
but terrible Bright's disease, as the kidneys
contain large quantities of albumen; and
while children and young people are especial
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 fireman of this city
who anplied to me for treatment. The case
was diagnosed parenchymatous 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'' a
hundred times, each time improving some :;
after which, in short while, he would relapse
Into 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 while and
then worse again; in f.ct, SO bad that he had
to lay Off for some time. He suffered intense
pain; SO much so that ] confess l had to re-
sort to hypodermic injections of morpaia. My
druggist, who knew how disguised was with
the case, although not willing to desert the
man, advised me to try remedy from which
he (the druggist) himself had derived great
benefit As drowning man catches at straw,
prescribed this remedy, not letting my pa
tient, however, know what | was giving him;
and, although not believer in nor q patron
of "patent Medicines" l nust confess that
after my fireman had taken one bottle he
grew much better. | made him continue it's
use for period of two months, with the most
gratifying results; it 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 prescribed, and he used.
Since the recovery of the m above mem
toned, l have given considerable thought to
the subject of acute nephritis, or kidney diff
Guilty, and find that its manifestations are
most remarkable. It often appears without
any special symptoms of its own, or possibly
sequel to some other disease. It may be
a sequel to Escarlatina, diphtheria, and 9TH
er , illnesses, and even arise from pregnancy.
The first symptoms frequently show them
selves in the form of high, fierce and intense
pains in the lumbar region, 1.-The small of the
back, troublesome m cturitions and frequent
changes in the color of the urine which at
times diminishes perceptibly. If the urine is
entirely suppressed, the case, probably, will
terminate fatally in very few days Dropsy
is Il consequence of the suppression OF urine,
and the severeness of it is governed by the
proportion of retention. The nervous system
becomes Frustrated with subsequent conyul-
sions and irregular circulation of the blood,
which, in my estimation, eventually might
cause diseased heart to give out. As Ihave
remarked, in many kidney diseases-yes even
in Bright's disease itself-there is no percepti-
bic pain in the back, and these troubles often
assert themselves in various symptoms-for
Instance, in troublesome diarrhGI, blood
poison, impaired eyesight. nausea, loss of
appetite, dsordered digestion, loss of con-
seriousness, husky voice and many other COM
plants too numerous to mention. Indeed,
thousands of people are suffering from the
first stages. of Bright's disease to-day, and
they do not knoao ii.
In conclusion, would like to state that
have since my success with the fireman, re-
peatedly prescribed Warner Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, and if my professional brethren
could only be brought SO far as to overcome
their prejudice against pr":'ri" airy medicines
they would undoubtedly fluid themselves rec
ompeused for their supposed criiice of lib
ertv, as well as by the great benefits that would
accrue to the world. Most sincerely,
