THERE 10 . widespread anu serious
prevalence of disc .ders of the kidneys:
ana 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.
ofosrs are very common. but the obscurity
OF their positive symptoms is 50 marked
toaG many people, ill and out of korts gem
orally, are really victims of kidney COM
plant, and they and their phys clans do
not realize it. Rheumatic pains, irregular
eppetlte, frequent headache, chills and
lever, blues" hot and dry SKIN, sour
stomach, dyspepsia, irregular action of
soreness, cramps, languor, impairm snt Of
memory, loss of virility, are among
the preliminary evidences Of coming kid
ney and liver arrangements. As the dis
ease develops, then follow lame back,
swelling ankles, pale face, scalding sensa-
tons, the water sometimes being very
hight and abundant, at others scarce,
dark.colored and frothy, and Astounding
In sediment, and, under the microscopes, in,
albumen and tube casts. II the deranxeI
Edneys are not promptly attended tn
there Is danger Of the terrible Bright;
Disease-hitherto considered incurable,
which Is q consumption or destruction OF
the kidneys-the near approach of which
alarming disorder should awaken the
hvellest concern, for it soon hurries one
INTO the grave unless promptly checked.
Dfsordered kidneys have the unfortunate
effect also of weakening the vigor of tho
liver, as indicated if one has, besides the
above symptoms, yellow spotted skin, fat
covered eye-balls, frontal headache after
eating, burning and itching skin, cold e1-
tremities, hot head, bad circulation Of
blood, sick-headache, nausea, Fight colore6
excavations, constipation, piles Parable
appetite and feelings, dizziness, blurred
uhf III,
wakefulness at night, drowsiness by day:
etc.
These are some of the commoner symp.
toms as laid down by leading medical au.
thorities, and with them in view one ought
not to have much trouble in ascertaining If
he is suffering from disorders Of these
great organs.
These observations have been called
forth by a double column article which ap.
pears IN another place in this paper. Skep.
teal o. some of the statements made there.
In, an6 al other times by the Same persons,
we have been led to make q little study OF
the ma, ter ourselves, with the above re.
suit. These diseases prevail amongst
young and old everywhere, resulting in
terrible and untimely deaths; they take OF
more leople than epidemics; ply sicians
report q saith as occurring from such dis
eases as apoplexy, paralysis, commissions,
heart disease, pneumonia, fevers, etc,
secondary to Bright's disease and would
seldom occur were the kidneys in healthy
working condition. Hence, from personal
knowledge, or from the trustworthy expe-
rience Of other competent judges, we be-
lieve there is no preparation equal to the
remet-y that is so prominently mentioned
elsew here in this issue, for preventing and
curing the dangerous disorders Of which
We have written. It has had an extraor-
binary sale, il everywhere commended,
tho record of its work seems indisputable,
the highest standing. We hold, therefore,
that not to use it, il needed, would be q
crime against ones supremest interests,
especially at this time when, threatened
by . fearful epidemic, it is Of the highest
Importance, according to DIR. Koch, the
celebrated German cholera specialist, that
We keep the Kidneys, liver and digestive
organs in healthy action, if the scourgs
voald be escaped.
