Arthur.
VIII the Fifth and Final Act be u Tragedy.
Ro hester Democrat and Chronicle.
DIR. Lincoln who was at the funeral
OF eN-Secretary Frelinghuysen, says
eX-Presldent Arthur looked Very UNI
well. He is suffering from Bright'sdis-
ease. During the past year it has as
sumed a very aggravated form"
That telegram is act ~. OF a drama
written by ex-President Arthur's ply
sicians. In Act /. he was made to up
pear in Malaria" of which all the
country was told when he went to
Florida.
In Act III. herepresented tired man,
worn down, walking the sands at Old
Point Comfort and looking eastward
ove the Atlantic toward Europe for
u longer rest.
The curtain rolls up for Act III. up
on the distinguished actor affected
withmelanchoiy from bright's disease,
while Act ~. discovers him with the
disease ''in an aggravated form, suffer-
ing intensely, (which is Unusually and
about to take a sea- voyage"
Just such as thisis the plot ofmany
dramas by play-wrights OF the medical
profession. They write the first two
or three acts with no conception OF
what theircharacter will developinth the
final one.
They have not had the d~iscernment
for tracing i'll the early, whatthe latter
representations will be. Not one
physician in Il hundred has the ade-
quate microscopic and chemical APP
pliancesfor gbright'sd disease
in its early stages, and when many do
finally comprehend that their patients
are dying with it, when death occurs,
they will, to cover up their ignorance
OF it, pronounce the fatality to have
been caused by ordinary ailments,
whereas these ailments are really re-
suits of bright's disease OF which they
are unconscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, so percent. ofall
deaths except from epidemics and ac-
cidents, result from diseased Kidneys
or livers. Ii thedyingbe distinguished
and his friends too intelligent to be

pronounces the complaint to be
