DROPPED DEAD"

Vac and Five Other Governors.

TT.c,, and Five Other Governors.
Apropos of the sudden death OF
Cen 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, COY
ernor and Chief Justice Sanford Il.
church. and Governor R. Z. Fenton,
all of New York State, dropped dead Of
6sart disease, and under quite identical
ciircunas tances-eacb Of them dying
,chiIe reading a letter, except Marcy,
who was perusing Cowper's poems
Hold your hand against the ribs
ON your left side, front,-the regular,
steady beating of the great "torce
pump''of the system, run by an I'M
known and mysterious Engineer Is
awful in it's impressiveness
Few persons like to count their
own puise-beats, and fewer persons
still enjoy marking the "thub-
tbub, of their own heart.
"What If Il should skip beat!
As matter of fact the heart is the
least susceptible to primary disease
OF anv of our vital organs. 1t IS,
however, very much injured by
certain long-continued congestions
of the. 7ital organs, like the Kidneys
liver, and stomach. Moreover,
blood filled with uric acid produces
rheumatic tendency, and is very
Injurious to healthful heart action
it often proves fatal, and, of course,
the uric acid comes from impaired
kidney action.
Roberts, the great English au-
thority. saws that heart disease IS
chiefly secondary to some more fatal
malady in the blood or other vital
organs. That is, it is not the origi-
nal source of the fatal malady.
The work of the heart is to force
/ blood into every part of the system.
If the organs are sound, it is an easy
task. If they are at all diseased, 1t
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 SEN
sation, this congested condition is
not indicated by pain. 1t may exist
for years, unknown even to physi-
clans. 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. F. Larrabee, Esq, of Boston,
who was by it so wonderfully cured
of Bright's disease, in 1879, says
that with its disappearance went the
distressing heart disorder, which he
then discovered was only secondary
to the renal trouble. n
There is a general impression that
, the medical profession Is not at fault
if it frankly admits that heart dis
ease is the cause of death. In other
2 words, a cure OF heart disease IS moi
r expected of them
There may be no help for a broker

there is a help for the kidney dis
