FOUR ACTS Played
Sad Report About Ex-President Arthur.

sau hoport hDOuJ EN-Bresident Arthur.
WIN the Fifth and Final Act be a Trag.
edy.
"Dr. Lincolu who was at.the funeral"
"of ex'Secretary Frelinghuysen, says"
sex President Arthur looked very un-"
"well. BE is suffering from Bright's"
'disease. During the past year it has~
assumed very aggravated form.n
That telegram is Act Nv. of q drama
written by ex-President Arthur's physl-
clans. In Act l. he was made to appear
In malaria" of which all the country
was told when he went to florida.
In Act ii. he represented ti,ed man,
worn down, walking She ssnds at Old
Point Comfort and looking eastward
over the Atlantic toward Europe for q
longer rest.
The curtain rolls up for Act III. upon
the distinguished actor affected with
melancholy from Brlght's disease,
while Act ~. discovers him with the
disease sin an aggravated form, suffer-
ing intensely (Which Is Unusually, and
about TO take sea voyage"
Just such as this is the plot of many
dramas by play-wrights of the medical
profession. They write the first two or
their character will develop In the final
one.
They have not the discernment for
tracing in the early what the latter I'm
presentations will be. Not one physi-
clan In hundred has the adequate mi
croscopic and chemical appliances for
discovering Bright's disease in It's early
stages, and when many do finally COM
prehend that their patients are dying
with 1t, when death occurs, they will, TO
cover up their ignorance of 1t, pro
nounce the fatality to have been caused
by ordinary ailments, whereas these
ailments are really results of Bright's
disease, Of which they are unconscious
victims.
Beyond any doubt, so per cent. of all
deaths except from epidemics and &C.
ctdents, result from diseased kidneys
or liverB. If the dying be distinguished
and his friends too Intelligent 10 be
easily deceived, his .physi clans perhaps
pronounce the complaint TO be pericar-
ditis, py@mia, septic@mia, bronchitis,
pleuritis, valvular LESSONS OF the heart,
pneumonia, etc. Ii tho deceased be
less noted, "malarian is now the fash
ioDable assignment Of the cause of
death.
But all the same, named right or
named wrong, this fearful Bcourge
gathers them in! While IL prevails
among persons Of sedentary habits
lawyers clergymen, congressman lit
also plays great havoc among farmers,
day lsborers and mechanics, though
they do not suspect IT, because their
physicians keep 1t from them, If indeed
they are able TO detect it,
II sweeps thousands OF women and
children into untimely graves every
year. The health gives way gradually,
the strength Is variable, the appetite
nckle, the yigor gets less and less. This
isn't malaria-it Is the beginning of
kidney disease and will end-who does
not know hOw2
No, nature has not been remlss. In
dependent research has given an infalli.
pie remedy for this common disorder;
but of course the bigoted physician will
not use Warmers safe cure, because II is
aprivate affair and cuts up their prac-
lice by restoring the health of those who
nave been invalids for years.
The new saying OF chow common
Brights disease is becoming among
prominent menp is getting old, and as
me Englishman would say, sounds
stupid" especially "stupid" since this
uisease is resdilY detected by the more
ease. But the 'Common rum of physi-
Sians, not detecting il, give tho patient
EPSON salts or other drugs prescribed
oy the old code OF treatment under
which their grandfathers and great
Rrandfathers practiced!
anon, we hear that the patient is "com-
,ortable." But ere long, maybe, they

portable" story is told, Torture him

uons the oOcvOrs play upon the I'M
fortunate until his shroud Is made, when
we learn that he died from heart dis
