Sad Report About Ex-President Arthur
Win the Firth and Final Act BE .
Tragedy.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.1
CDR. Lincoln, who was at the funeral of ,,
s'ex-Secretary Frelinghnysen, says ex-"
"He is suffering from Bright's disease
"During the past year it has assumed a.,
'svery aggravated form.o
That telegram is Act w. of drama
written by ex-President Arthur's physi-
clans. In Act I. he was made to appear in
malaria, )" Of which all the country was
told when he went to Florida.
In Act III. he represented tired man,
worn down, walking the sands at Old
Point Comfort and looking eastward over
rest.
The curtain rolls up for Act III. upon
the distinguished actor affected with mel
ancholy from iright's disease, while Act
w. discovers him with the disease ''In an
aggravated form, suffering intensely,
(which is Unusually and about to take sea

dramas by playwrights of the medical
profession. They write the first two or
three acts with no conception of what their
character will develop in the final one.
They have not the discernment for trac-
ing in the early what the latter imperson-
ations will be. Not one physician in
hundred has the adequate microscopic and
chemical appliances for discovering
bright's disease in its early stages, and
when many do finally comprehend that
their patients are dying with it. when
death occurs, they will, to cover up their
ignorance of it, pronounce the fatality to
have been caused by ordinary ailments,
whereas these ailments are really results
of bright's disease Of which they are un-
conscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, 80 per cent. of all

dents, result from diseased kidneys or
livers. If the dying be distinguished and
his friends too intelligent to be easily de-
ceived, his physicians perhaps pronounce
the complaint to be pericarditis, pyamia,
septicHmia, bronchitis, pleuritis, valvular
LESSONS of the heart, pneumonia, etc. If
the deceased be less noted, 'malaria" is
now the fashionable assignment of the
cause of death.
But all the same, named right or named
wrong, this fearful scourge gathers them
in While it prevails among persons of
sedentary habits,-lawyers, clergymen,
congressmen,-it also plays great havoc
among farmers, day laborers and mechan-
their physicians keep it from them, if in
deed they are able to detect it.
- 1t sweeps thousands of women and chill
dren into untinaely graves every year. The
health gives way gradually, the strength
is variable, the appetite tickle, the vigor
gets less and less. This isn't malaria-it
is the beginning of kidney disease and will
end-who does not know how!
No, nature has not been remiss. indie
pendent research has given an infallible
remedy for this common disorder; but of
course the bigoted ply stefan will not use
Warmers safe cure, because it is a private
affair and cuts up their practice by restor-'
ing the health of those who have been in
valids for years.
The new saying of show common bright's
disease is becoming among prominent
menp' is getting old, and as the English
man would say, sounds "stupid.'-espec-
tally 'stupid" since this disease is readily
detected by the more learned men and spe-
cialists of this disease. But the common
run of physicians, not detecting it, give
the patient Epson salts or other drugs pre-
scribed by the old code of treatment under
which their grandfathers and great-grand-
fathers practiced!
Anon, we hear that the patient is "com-
Portable" But ere long, maybe, they tap
him and take some water from him and
again the 'comforta BILE" story is told. Tor
ture him rather than allow him to use
Warmers safe curel With such variations
the doctors play upon the unfortunate
until his shroud Is made, when we learn
that he died from heart disease, pyemia,
septicaemia or some other deceptive though
''dignified cause"
Ex-President Arthur's case is not singu-
lar-it is typical of every such case. "He
is suffering intensely" This is not usual.
Generally there is almost no suffering.
He may recover, if he will act independ-
emily of his physicians. The agency
named has cured thousands of persons even
in the extreme stages-is to-day the main
stay of the health of hundreds of thou
sands. 1t is an unfortunate fact that ply
sicians will not admit there is any vir-
tue outside of their own sphere, but as
each school denies virtue to all others, the
people act on their own judgment and ac-
cept things by the record of merit they
make.
The facts are cause for alarm, but there
is abundant hope in prompt and independ-
ent action.
