CDR. Lincoln, who was at the funeral of -
'ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen, SAYS ex-O
President Arthur looked very unwell. %
Hels suffering from Brights disease"
During the past year 10 has assumed NJ,
very aggravated form"
Ihat telegram is Act ". of a drama
written by eN-President Arthur's pbvsi-
clans. In Act /. he was made 70 appear i'm
"Malaria," of which all the country was
told when he went 20 Florida.
In Act III. he represented a tired man,
worn down, walking tho sands Mt Old
Point Comfort and looking eastward over
the Atlantic toward Europe for longer
rest.
Tho curtain rolls up for Act III. upon
the distinguished actor affected with mel
ancholy from bright's disease, while Act
Nv. discovers him with the disease Gin an
aggravated form, suffering intensely,
voyage"
Just such as this is the plot Of many
dramas by play wrights of the medical
profession. They write the first two or
three acts with no conception of what their
character will develop i'm the final one.
Ihey have not the discernment for trac-
ing I'm the early what the latter impersOu-
atoms VIII be. Not one physician in a
hundred has the adequate microscopic and
chemical appliances for discovering
DiiShCS uiSease IN It's early stages, and
when many do finally comprehend that
their patients are dying with IT, when
death occurs, they will, TO cover up their
ignorance of IL, 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 acct
dents, result from diseased kidneys or
iiyers. If the dying be distinguished and
his friends too intelligent 70 be easily de-
ceived, his physicians perhaps pronounce
tne complaint TO be pericarditis, py@mia,
septcemia, bronchitis, pleuritis, valvular
LESSONS of the heart, pneumonia, etc. If
the deceased be less noted, "malariao 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 IL prevails among persons OF
sedentary hahits,-lawyers, clergymen
congressmen,-it, also plays great havoc
among farmers, day laborers and mechan-
les, though they do not suspect IL, because
their physicians keep IL from them, il in
deed they are able TO detect it.
III sweeps thousands of women and chill
dren into untimely graves every year. The
health gives way gradually, the strength
Is variable, the appetite tickle, the vigor
gets less and less. This isn't malaria-it
Is the beginning OF kidney disease and will
end-who does not know howy
No, nature has not been remss. Inde-
pendent research has given an infallible
remedy for this common disorder; but of
course the blgoted physician will not use
Warner's safe cure, because 10 is n private
affair and cuts up their practice by restOr-
Ing the health of those who have been i'm
valids for years.
The new saying of show common bright's
disease is becoming among prominent
men" Is getting old, and as the English
man would say, sounds "stupid"-espec-
tally "stupid" since this disease is readily
detected by the more learned men and spe-
cialists of this disease. But the common
run of physicians, not detecting it, give
the patient EPSON salts or other drugs pre-
scribed by the old code of treatment under
which their grandfRthers and great-grand-
fathers practiced!
Anon, we hear that the patient is HcoTn-
Portable" But ere long, maybe, they tap
him and take some water from him and
again the "cOmforta BILE" story is told. Tor
ture him rather than allow him TO use
Warmers safe cure! With such variations
the doctors play upon the unfortunate
until his shroud is made, when we learn
that he died from heart disease, pymmia
ssepticemia or some other deceptive though
"dlgnliied cause"
Elk President Arthur's case is not singu-
lar-it is typical of every such case. "He
IS suffering intensely" This is not usual,
GENERALLY there is almost no suffering.
He may recover, if he will act independ-
emily of his physicians. The agency
named has cured thousands of persons even
I'm the extreme stages-is to-day the main
stay of the health of hundreds OF thou
sands. 1t is an unfortunate fact that ply
SicianS will not admit there is any Vir-
tue outside of their own sphere, but as
each school denies virtue to all others, the
people act on their own judgment and ac-
cept things by the record of merit they
make.
The facts are cause for alarm, but there
is abundant hope in prompt and independ-
emit action.
