THERE is widespread and serious
prevalence of disorders of the kidneys.
and ofvarious diseases caused by the i'm
perfect operation of the kidneys and liver.
According to Roberts, Thompson, and
other recognized authorities, kidney
disorders are very common, but the
obscurity of their positive symptoms is
so marked that many people, i'll and
out of sorts generally, arc really vic.
Tins of kidney complaint, and they and
their physician do not realize it. Rheu-
matte pains, irregular appetite, fire..
quent headache, chills and fever, "blues,"
hot and dry skin, sour stomach, dyspep-
STA, irregular action of the bowels, nerv-
Gus irrritability, muscular soreness,
cramps, languor, impairment of memory,
loss of virility, are among the orelimi-
nary evidences of coming kidney and
liver arrangements. AS the disease
develops then follow lame back, SWELL
ing ankles, pale face, scalding sensa-
tons, the water sometimes being very
light and abundant, at others scarce,
dark coicred and frotby, and Astounding

tended to there is danger of the terrible
Bright's Disease-hitherto considered
incurable, which is consumption or
destruction of the kidneys-the near
approach of which alarming disorder
should awaken the Kveliest concern,
for it soon hurries one into the grave
unless promptly checked.
Disordered kidneys have the unfortu.
nate effect also of weakening the vigor

besides the above symptoms, yellow
spotted skin, fat covered eyeballs, fornt-
al headache after eating, burning and

bad circulation of blood, sick headache,
nausea, light colored excavations, con-
stipation, piles, variable appetite and
feelings. dizziness, blurred eyesight,
liver cough, ague, chills, fevers, wake
fulness at night, drowsiness by day, etc.
These are some of tho commoner
symptoms as laid down by leading med
ical authorities, and with them in view
one ought not to have much trouble ia
ascertainipg if he is suffering from dis
orders of these great organs.
These observations have been called
forth by 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
little study of the matter ourselves,
with the above result. The diseases
prevail amongst young and old every
where, resulting in terrible and untime-
ly deaths; they take off more people
than epidemics; physicians report death
as occurring from such diseases as ap-
oplexy, paralysis, CONFUSION, heart dis
ease, pneumonia, fevers, etc., when in
reality these disorders are often Sec
ondary 10 Bright's disease and would
not occur were the kidneys in healthy
working condition. Hence, from person
al knowledge, or from trustworthy ex-

believe theirs is no preparation equal to
the remedy that is 80 prominently men,
