"a DROPPED DEAD"
che Fate That Overcame "Little Mac" and
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 h. E. Fem
ton, all of New York State, dropped dead
of heart disease, and under quite identical
circlmstances-edch Of them dying lohile

As a 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
COMPOSITIONS Of the vital organs, like the
kidneys, liver and stomach. Moreover,
blood filled with uric acid produces a
rheumatic tendency, and is very injurious

fatal, and, of course, the uric acid comes
from impaired kidney action.
Roberts, the great English authority,
| saws hat 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. II the
organs are sound 1T is an easy task. II
they are at all diseased, it is a very, very
! hard task. Take as an illustration: The
kidneys are very subject to congestion
| and vet being deficient in the nerves Of
sensation, this congested condition is not
indicated by pain. 1t may exist for years,
unknown even to physicians, and il it does
not result in complete destruction of the
kidneys, the extra work which is forced

llThis is the true history OF "heartdisease,
so called, which in reality is chiefly a
secondary effect of Brlghts disease OF the
kidneys, and indicates the universal need
of that renowned specific, Warmers safe
cure.
B. F. narrabee, Esq, of Boston, who
was by it so wonderfully cured Of Brighti
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 general impression that tn
medical profession is not at fault If 1

cause of death. In other words, cure o
