THEKn Is a widespread and serious
prevalence of disorders of the Kidneys;
and of various diseases caused by the inn
perfect operation of the kidneys and liver.
According to Roberts, Thomp.on, and
other recognized authorities, kidney dis.
orders are very common, but the obscurlty
of their positive symptoms is SO marked
that many people, i'll and out OF sorts gen.
orally, are really victims of kidney com-
plant, and they and their physicians do
not realize it. Rheumatic pains, Irregular
appetite, frequent headache, chlus and
fever, "blues," hot and dry SKIN, sour
stomach, dyspepsia, irregular action of
the bowels, nervous irritability, muscular
soreness, cramps, languor, impairm ent 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-
hight and abundant, at others scarce,
dark -colored and frothy, and abounding
in sediment, and, under the microscope, in
!. albumen and tube casts. If the deranged
kidneys are not promptly attended to
there is danger of the terrible Bright's
Disease-hitherto considered incurable,
which is a consumption or destruction OF
tho kidneys-the near approach Of which
alarming disorder should awaken The
iveliest concern, for it soon hurrieS one
into the grave unless promptly checked.
Disordered kidneys have the unfortupate
effect also of weakening the vigor of tho
liver, as indicated If one has, besides tho
above symptoms, yellow spotted skin, fat
covered eye-balls, frontal headache after
eating, burning and itching skin, cold ex-
tremities, hot head, bad circulation of
blood, sick headache, nausea, hght-colOreG
excavations, constipation, piles, variable
appetite and feelings, dizziness, blurred
eyesight, liver cough, ague, chills, fevers,
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 it
he is suffering from disorders of these
great organs.
These observations have been called
forth lpy double column article which ap.
pears in another place in this paper. Skep-
tical o. some of the statements made there
in, ano AT other times by the same persons,
we have been led to make 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 people than epidemics; physicians
report daath as occurring from such dis
eases as apoplexy, paralysis, convulsions,
heart disease, pneumonia, fevers, etc.,
when in reality these diseases are often
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-
leve there is no preparation equal to the

curing the dangerous disorders of which

the record Of its work seems indisputable,
its manufacturers are reputed to be men Of
that not to use it, if needed, would be a
crime against ones supremest interests,
especially at this time when, threatened
by fearful epidemic, it is of the highest
importance, according to DR.. Koch, the
celebrated German cholera specialist, that
we keep the kidneys, liver and digestive
organs in healthy action, if the scourge
would be escaped.
