TarrR "a widespread and serious
prevalence OF disorders OF the kidneys;
and OF various diseases caused bv the im-
perfect operation Of the kidneys and liver:
According to Roberts, Thompson, and
other recognized authorities, kidney dis
orders arc very common, but the obscurity
OF their positive symptoms is so marked
that many people, Ill and out OF sorts gem
orally, are really victims of kidney com"
plant, and they and their physicians do
not realize 1t. Rheumatic pnins, irregular
appetite, frequent headache, chills and
fever, "blues," hot and dry skin, sour
stomach. dyspepsia, irregular action of
the bowels, nervous irritability, muscular
soreness, cramps, languor, impairment of
memory, loss Of .virility, are among
the preliminary evidences Of coming kid-
ney and liver arrangements. AS the dis
ease develops, then follow lame back,
swelling ankles, pale face, scnlding sensa-
tions, tho water sometimes being very
light and abundant, at others scarce,
dark. colored and frothy, and abounding
in sediment, and, under the microscope, in
albumen and tube casts. If the deranged
kidneys are not promptly attended to
there Is danger of the terrible Bright's
Disense--htherto considered incurable,
hich is a consumption or destruction of
the kdneys-the near approach of which
alarming disorder should awaken the
liveliest concern, for it soon hurries one
into the grave unless promptly checked.
Disordered kidneys have the unfortunate
effect also of weakening the vigor of the
liver, as indicated IL one has, besides the
above symptoms, yellow spotted skin, fat
covered eye-balls, frontal headache after
eating, burning and itching skin cold ex-
tremitics, hot head, bad circulation of
blood, ick-headache, nausea, light colored
evacuations, constipation, piles, variable
appetite and feelings, dizziness, blurred
eyesight, liver-cough, ague, chills, fevers,
wakefulness at night, drowsiness by day,
etc.
These are some of the commoner symp-
toms as laid down by leading medical au-
thorities, and with them in view one ought
not to have much trouble in ascertaining II
he is suffering from disorders OF these
great organs.
These observations havo been called
forth by double column article which APP
pears in another place in this paper. Skep-
tical of some of the statements made there
in, and at other times by the same persons,
we have been led to make little study of
tho matter ourselves, with the above re-
suit. These diseases prevail amongst
young and old everywhere, resulting in
terrible and untimely deaths; they take off
more people than epidemics; physicians
report death as occurring from such dis
eases as apoplexy, paralysis, convulsions,
heart disease, pneumonia, fevers, ETC.,
when in reality these diseases are often
secondary to Bright's disease and would
seldom occur We're the kidneys in healthy
working condition. Hence, from personal
knowledge, or from the trustworthy expo
rience of other competent Judges, we be-
lieve there is no preparation equal to the
remedy that is SO prominently mentioned
elsewhere in this issue, for preventing and
curing the dangerous disorders of which
we have written. 1t has had an extraor-
binary sale, is everywhere commended,
the record of its work seems indisputable,
its nufacturers are reputed to be men of
the highest standing. We hold, therefore,
that not to use it, if needed, would be a
crime against ones supremest interests,
especially at this time when, threatened
by fearful epidemic, it is of the highest
importance, according to DR.. Koch, the
celebrated German cholera specialist, that
we keep the kidneys, liver and digestive
organs in healthy action, if the scourge
would be ESCAPED.
