The brute was arrested and jailed. The
victim is dying this evening.
THERE is a widespread and serious
prevalence of disorders of the kidneys;
and Of various diseases caused by the i'm
perfect operation of the kidneys and liver.
According to Roberts, Thompson, and
other recognized authorities, kidney dis
orders are very common, but the Obscur-
ity of their positive symptoms is so mark
ed that many people, Ill and out of sorts
generally, are really victims Of kidney
complaint, and they and their physician
do not realize 1t. Rheumatic pains, ir-
regular appetite, frequent headache, chills
and fever, "blues," hot and dry skin, sour
stomach, dyspepsia, irregular action of
the bowels, nervous irritabiiity, muscular
soreness, cramps, languOr, impairment Of
memory, loss of Virility, are among the
preliminary evidences of coming kidney
and liver arrangements. AS the disease
develops then follow lame back, swelling
ankles, pale face, sCalding sensations, the
water sometimes being very light and
abundant, at others scarce, dark-eOlOred
and frOthy, and Astounding IN sediment,
and, under the microscope, in albumeni
and tube casts. If the derauged kidneys
are not promptly attended to there is
danger of the terrible Bright's Disease
hitherto considered inCuIable, which is a
consumption or destruction of the kid
neys-the near approach of which alarm
ing disorder should awaken the liveliest
concern, for it soon hurries one into the
grave unless promptly checked.
DisOrdered kidneys have the unfOrtu-
nate effect also of weakening the VigOr Of
the liver, as Indicated if one has, besides
the above symptoms, yellow spotted
skin, fat covered eye-balIs, frontal head
ache after eating, burning and itching
skin, cold eXtremities, hot head, bad cir
culatiOn of blood, sick-headache, nausea,
light COlOred excavations, constipation,
piles, variable appetite and feelings,
dizziness, blurred eyesight, iVer-cOugh,
ague, chills, fever, Wakefulness at night,
drOWsiness by day, etc.
These aresOme of the cOmmOner symp-
toms as laid down by leading medical
authorities, and with them in view one
ought not to have much trouble in these
great organs.
These observations have been called
forth bV a dOuble-cOlumn article which
appears in another place in this paper.
Skeptical of some of the statements
made therein, and at other times by the
same persons, We have been led to make
a little study of the matter ourselves,
with the above result. These diseases
prevail among young and old every
where, resulting in terrible and untimely
deaths; they take off more people than
epidemiCs; physicians report death as
occurring from such diseases as apoplexy,
paralysis, commissions, heart disease,
pneumonia, fevers. ETC., when in reality
these disorders are often secondary to
Bright's disease, and would seldom occur
were the kidneys in a healthy working
condition. Hence, from personal knoWl-
edge, or from the trustworthy experience
of other competent judges, we believe
there is no preparation equal to the
remedy that is so prominently men
toned elsewhere in this issue, for pre-
venting and curing the dangerous disOr-
ders of which we have written. 1t has
had an extraordinary sale, is everywhere
commended, the record of its work
seems indisputable, its manufacturers
are reputed to be men of the highest
standing. We hold, therefore, that not
to use If, if needed, would be a crime
against ones supremest interests, espe-
cially at this time, when threatened by
a fearful epidemic, it is Of the highest
importance, according to DR.. Koch, the
celebrated German cholera specialist,
that we keep the kidneys, liver and d.
gestive organs IN healthy action, If the
scOurge would be escaped.
