age"
Just such as this is the plot Of many
dramas by play-wrights Of the medi-
cal 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
tracing in the early, what the latter
impersOnatiCns will be. No one ply
stefan in a hundred has the adequate
microscopic and chemical appliances
for discovering bright's disease in its
early stages, and when many do final
ly discover that their patients are dy-
ing 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 results Of
bright's disease of which they are I'M
conscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, so per cent of
all deaths except from epidemics and
accidents, result from diseased kid
neys or livers. If the dying be dis
tinguished, and his friends too intelli-
gent to be deceived, his physicians
perhaps pronounce the complaint to
be pericarditis, valvular LESSONS of the
heart, pneumonia, etc. If the de-
ceased 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 in! While it prevails
among persons of sedentary habits
lawyers, clergymen, congressmen-it
also plays great havoc among far.
