[Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.l
cdr. Lincoln, who was at the funeral OF -
"ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen, says ex-n
president Arthur looked very unveils
"Heis suffering from Bright's disease.n
"During the past year 1t has assumed a"
"very aggravated form"
That telegram is Act ~. Of drama
written by ex-President Arthur's physi-
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 tired man,
worn down, walking the sands at Old
Point Comfort and looking eastward over
the Atlantic toward Europe for longer
rest
The curtain rolls up for Act III. upon
the distinguished actor affected with mel
ancholy from bright's disease, while Act
w. discovers him with the disease sin an
aggravated form, suffering intensely,

voyage"
profession. They write the first two or
three acts with no conception of what their
character will develop in the final one.
They have not the discernment for trac-
ing In the early what the latter imperson-
ations will be. Not one physician in
hundred has the adequate microscopic and
chemical appliances for discovering
bright's disease in its early stages, and
when many do finally comprehend that
their patients are dying with 1t, when
death occurs, they will, to cover up their
ignorance of 1t, pronounce the fatality to
have been caused by ordinary ailments,
whereas these ailments are really results
Of bright's disease Of which they are un-
conscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, 80 per cent. Of all
deaths except from epidemics and acci-
dents, result from diseased kidneys or
ivers. IL the dying be distinguished and
his friends too intelligent to be easily de-
ceived, his physicians perhaps pronounce
the complaint to be pericarditis, pyemia,
septicemia, bronchitis, pleuritis, valvular
LESSONS Of the heart, pneumonia, etc. If
the deceased be less noted, "malaria" is
now the fashionable assignment Of the
| cause of death.
But all the same, named right or named
| wrong, this fearful scourge gathers them
| inl While it prevails among persons of
sedentary habits,-lawyers, clergymen,
congressmen,-it also plays great havoc
among farmers, day laborers and mechan-
ics, though they do not suspect 1t, because
their physicians keep it from them, If in
deed they are able to detect 1t.
It sweeps thousands Of women and chill
dren into untimely graves every year. The
health gives way gradually, the strength
gets less and less. This isn't malaria-it
Is the beginning Of kidney disease and will
| end-who does not know how?
No, nature has not been remiss. Inde-
pendent research has given an infallible
remedy for this common disorder; but OF
course the bigoted physician will not use
Warmers safe cure, because 1t is private
L.
ing the health OF those who have been in
valids for years.
The new saying Of show common bright's
disease is becoming among prominent
men ~ Is getting old, and as the English
man would say, sounds "stupidn-espec-
tally stupid" since this disease is readily
detected by the more learned men and spe-
cialists Of this disease. But the common
run of physicians, not detecting it, give
the patient EPSON salts or other drugs pre-
scribed by the old code of treatment under
which their grandfathers and great-grand-
fathers practicedl
Anon, we hear that the patient is "com-
Portable" But ere long, maybe, they tap
him and take some water from him and
again the "comforta BILE" story is told. Tor
tire him rather than allow him to use
| Warmers safe curel With such variations
the doctors play upon tbe unfortunate
until his shroud is made, when we learn
that he died from heart disease, pyemia,
septicemia or some other deceptive though
"digni6ed cause"
Ex-President Arthur's case Is not singu-
lar-it is typical of every such case. "He
Is suffering Intensely" This Is not usual.
Generally there is almost no suffering.
He may recover, if he will act independ-
entity Of his physicians. The agency
named has cured thousands Of persons even
In the extreme stages-is to-day the main
stay OF the health OF hundreds OF thou
sands. II Is an unfortunate fact that ply
sicians will not admit there is any vfr-
tue outside OF their own sphere, but as
each school denies virtue TO all others, the
people act on their own judgment and ac-
cept things by the record Of merit they
make.
The facts are cause for alarm, but there
Is abundant hope in prompt and independ-
ent action.
