+" DROPPED DEAD"
The Fate That Overcame Little Mac" and
Five Other Governors.

The rate That Overcame "Little Mac" ana
Five Other Governors.
Apropos Of the sudden death Of General
George B. Mcclellan, we note that the
New York Sun points out the singular
fact that Governor Dewitt Clinton, Gov
ernor Silas Wright, Governor William l.
Marcy, Governor and Chief Justice San
ford E. Church, and Governor II. E. Fem
ton, all of New York State, dropped dead
OF heart disease, and under quite Identical

" What il it should skip beat"
As matter of fact the heart is the least
susceptible to primary disease of any Of
our vital organs. 1t is, however, very
much injured by certain long continued
congestions of the vital organs, like the
kidneys, liver and stomach. Moreover,

rheumatic tendency, and is very injurious
to healthful heart action-it often proves
fatal, and, Of course, the uric acid comes
from impaired kidney action.
Roberts, the great English authority,
says that heart disease is chiefly secondary
to some more fatal malady in the blood or
other vital organs. That is, it is not the
original source of the fatal malady.
The work of the heart is to force blood
into every part of the system. If the
organs are sound 1t is an easy task. II
they are at all diseased, it is o very, very
hard task. Take as an illustration: The
kidneys are very subject to congestion
and yet, being deficient in the nerves Of
sensation, this congested condition is not
indicated BY pain. 1t may exist for years,
unknown even 10 physicians, and il it does
not result in complete destruction of the
kidneys, the extra work which is forced
upon The heart weakens it every year, and
"a mysterious" sudden death claims
another victim!
This is the true history of "heartdisease,"
so called, which in reality is chiefly q
secondary effect Of Bright's disease OF the
kidneys, and indicates the universal need
of that renowned specific, Warmers safe
cure.
B. F. narrabee, ESQ.,, of Boston, who
disease, in 1879, says that with its disap-
pearance went the distressing heart dis.
order, which he then discovered was only
secondary to the renal trouble.
There is q general impression that the
medical profession Is not at fault IL il
frankly admits that heart disease is the
cause of death. In other words, cure OF
heart disease is not expected of them!
There may be 10 help for broken
down, worn out, apoplectic heart, but
there is help for the kidney disorder
which in most cases is responsible for the
heart trouble, and If its use put money and
fame into the treasury Of the profession
instead Of into the hands of an indepen-
d mt investigator, every graduated doctor
in the world would exclaim Of it, as one
nobler and less prejudiced than his fellows
once exclaimed: ut is God-send to hu.

of the one effective remedial agency of the
age?
