just such as this is the plot OF many
dramas by play-wrights OF the medical
profession. They write tine first two Oh
three acts with no conception Of what
their character will develop in the final
one.
They have not the dscernment for
tracing in the early, what the latter inn
presentations will be- Not one physician

stages. and when many do finally com

cover up their ignorance of it, pro-
nounce the fatality TO have been caused
by ordinary ailments, whereas these
ailments are really results of bright
disease of which they are unconscious
victims.
Beyond any doubt, 80 per cent. of all
deaths except from epidemics and acct
dents, result from diseased kidneys or
livers. If the dying be distinguished
and his friends too intelligent TO be
easily deceived, his physicians perhaps
pronounce the complaint to be pericar-
