FOUR ACTS PLAYED!
Sad Report About Ex-President
Arthur.
VIII the Filth and Final Act be a
Tragedy

Will the Filth and Final Act be a
tragedy
"Dr. Lincoln who was at the funeral'
"of ex.Secretary Frelinghuysen, says"
"ex-President Arthur looked very"
"unwell. He is suffering from Bright's"
disease. During the past year it has"
assumed very aggravated form."
That telegram is Act w. of a drama
written by ex-President Arthur's ply
sicians. IN Act l. he was made to appear
In Malaria" of which all the country
wasSold 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
the Atlantic toward Europe for longer
rest.
The curtain rolls up for Act III. upon
the distinguished actor affected with
melancholy from bright's disease, while
Act Nv. discovers him with the disease
sin an aggravated form, suffering intense
ly, (which is Unusually and about to take
a sea voyage"
Just such as this is the plot of many
dramas by play-wrights 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
tracing in the early, what the latter i'm
presentations will be. Not one physi-
clan in a hundred has the adequate
microscopic and chemical appliances for
discovering bright's disease in its early
stages, and when many do finally com.
prehend that their patients are dying
with it, when death occurs, they will, to
cover up their ignorance of il. pronounce
the fatality to have been caused by Cr-
binary ailments, whereas these ailments
are really results of bright's disease of
which they are unconscious victims.
Beyond any doubt. 80 per cent. of all
deaths except from epldemics and acct
dents, result from diseased kidneys or
livers. If the dying be distinguished
and his friends too intelligent to be
easily deceived, his physicians, perhaps
pronounce the complaint to he pericardi.
is, pyamia, septic&mia, bronchitis,
plsuritis, 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, name right or named
wrong, this fearful scourge gathers them
in, While it prevails among persons of
sedentary habits,-lawyers, cle-gymen,
coneressmen,-ital also plays great havoc
among farmers, day laborers, and me-
chanics, though they do not suspect it,
because their physicians keep it from
them, if indeed the are able to detect
it.
1t sweeps thousands of women and
children into untimely graves every ear.
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. In.
dependent research has given an infalli-
BILE remedy for this common disorder
but of course the bigoted physicians will
not use Warmers safe cure, because it is
private affair and cuts up their practice
by restoring the health of those who
have been invalids for years.
The new saying of "how common
bright's disease is becoming among
prominent men T. is getting old, and as
the Englishman would say, sounds
"stupid"-especially Stupid" since this
disease is readily detected by the more
learned men and specialists of this dis
ease. But the common rum of physi
clans, not detecting it. give the patient
EPSON salts or other drugs prescribed
by the old code of treatment under
which their graDdfathers and great
grandfathero practicedl
Anon, we hear that the patient j,
comfortable" But ere long, maybe
they tap" him and take some water
from him and again the Comfortable
story is told. Torture him rather thar
allow him to use Warmers safe cure
With such variations the doctors play
upon the unfortunate until his shrouc
is made, when we learn that he dice
from heart disease, pyemia, septicsmi;
or some other deceptive Though "digni
fed cause"
Ex-President Arthur's case is no
singular it is typical of every sucl
case "He is suffering intensely" Thi
is not usual. Generally there is almos
no suffering. He may recover if he vii
act independently of his physicians
The agency named has cured thousand
of persons even in the extreme stages
is to-day the mainstay of the health o
hundreds ofthousands. 1t is an unfor
tunate FACT that physicians will not ad
nit there is any virtue outside thei
own sphere, but as each school denie
virtue to all others. the people act OF
their own judgment and accept thing
by the record of merit they make.
The facts are cause for alarm, bu
there is abundant hope in prompt ant
independent action. Rochester Demo
