The Fate that Overcame Little Mack an"
five .Other Governors.

five sOther Governors
Apropos of the sudden death ofGen'
Geo. B. Mcclellan, we note that the
New York Sun, points out the singular
fact that Governor De Witt Clinton,
Governor Silas Wright, Governor
William l.. Marcy, Governoran and Chief
Justice Sanford f. Church, and Gov
ernor r. E. Fonton, all of New York
State, dropped dead OF heart dis ase,
and under quite identical circumstance
es-each of them dying while reading
a letter except Marcy, who was PeruS-
ing COwper's poems.
Hold your hand against the ribs on
your lett side, front,-the regular,
steady beating OF the great 'torce
pump" of the system, u by an UNI
known and mysterious Engineer, Is
awful in it's impressivenessl
Few persons like to count their own
pulsebeats, and fewer persons still
enjoy marking the "thub-thub" OF
their own heart.
what if it should skip q beat!"
AS a matter of fact the heart is the
least susceptible to primary disease
of any of our organs. 1t is, however,
very much injured by certain long
continued congestions OF the vital or
gans, like the kidneys, liver and
stomach. Moreover, blood filled with
uric acid produces q rheumatic tend
ency, and is very injurious to health
full heart action,-it often proves fatal,
and, OF course, the uric acid comes
from impaired kidney action.
Roberts, thegreat English authority,
says that heart disease is chiefly
secondary to some nor fatal malady
in the blood or other vital organs.
That Is, it is not the original source OF
the fatal malady.
The work of the heart is to force
bleed into every part of the system.
# the organs are sound it is an easy
task. If they are at all diseased, it is
a very, very hard task. Take as an
illustration: The kidneys are very
subject to congestion and yet, being
deficient in the nerves of sensation,
this congested condition is not indi-
Gated by pain. 1t may exist for
years, unknown even to physicians,
and if it does not result in complete
destruction of the kidneys, the extra
work which is forced upon the heart
weakens it every year, and-a
mysterious" sudden death claims
another victim!
This is the true history of "heart
disease, so called, which in reality
is chiefly a secondary effect of Bright's
disease of the kidneys, and indicates
the universal need of that renowned
specific Warmers safe cure.
b. +. Larrabee, Esq of Boston,
who was by it so wonderfully cured Of
Bright's disease, in 1879, says that
with it's disappearance went the dis.
tressing heart disorder, which he then
discovered was only secondary to the
renal trouble.
There is a general impression that
the medicalprofession isnot at fault i
it frankly admits that heart disease
is the cause of death. In other words,
q cure of heart disease is not expected
of theml
There may be no help for a broken
down, worn out, apoplectic heart, but
there is q help for the kidney disorder
which in most cases is responsible fo1
the heart trouble, and if it's use put
money and fame into the treasury Of
the profession instead ofinto the hands
of an independent investigator, every
graduated doctor in the world would
exclaim of it, as one, nobler and less
p~rejudiced than his fellows, once ex
claimed: sit is a God-send to human.
