 ssDr. Lincoln, who was at the funeral of ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen, says ex-President Arthur looked very unwell. He is suffering from Bright's disease. During the past year it has assumed very aggravated form"
 The telegram is act ". of drama written by ex-President Arthur's physicians. In act I. he was made to appear in Malaria" of which all the country was told when he went to Florida.
 In act H. he represented tired man, worn down, walking the sands of Old Point Com fort and looking eastward over the Atlantic toward Europe for longer rest.
 The curtain rolls up for act III. upon the distinguished actor affected with melancholy from Bright's disease, while act ". discovers him with the disease lin an aggravated form suffering intensely, (which is unusuaD and about to take a sea voyage"
 Just such as this is the plot of many dra- mas by playwrights of the medical profession.
 They write the first two or three acts with no conception of what their character will devel. op in the final one.
 They have not the discernment for trac- ing in the early, what the latter impersona-
 tions will be. Not physician in hun dred has the adequate microscopic and chemical appliance for discovering Bright's disease in it's early stages, and when many do finally comprehend that their patients are dying with it, when death occurs, they will, 1 to cover up their ignorance of it, pronounce | the fatality to have been caused by ordinary | ailments, whereas these ailments are really results of Bright's disease, of which they are unconscious victims.
 Beyond any doubt, 80 per cent. of all l deaths except from epidemics and accidents,
 result from diseased kidneys and flyers. Ii the dying bs distinguished and his friends | too intelligent to be easily deceived, his phy- sicians perhaps pronounce the complaint to | be pericarditis, pyamia, septicemia, bron- chitis pleuritis valvular lesioDs of the heart, | pneumonia, etc. If the deceased be less noted s'malaria' is the fashionable as- l signinent of the cause of death.
 1 But all the same, named right or named | wrong this fearful scourge gathers them in l While it prevails among persons of sedentary l habits,-lawyers, clergymen, Congressmen,- = | it also plays great havoc among farmers, day laborers and mechanics, though they do not suspect it, because their physicians keep l it from them, if indeed they are able to de- l tect it.
 It sweeps thousands of women and chil- dren into untimely graves every year. The health gives way gradually, the strength is variable, the appetite fckle, the vigor gets less and less. This isn't malaria-it is the
 beginning of kidney disease and will end who does not know howl
 No, nature has not been remiss. Indepen- dent research has given an infallible remedy for this common disorder; but of course the
 bigoted physicians will not use Warmers Safe Cure, because it is 8 private affair and cuts up their practice by restoring the health of those who have been invalids for years.
 The new saying of Chow common Bright's disease is becoming among prominent men!'
 is getting old, and, as the Englishman would say, sounds "stupid"-especially stupid" since this disease is readily detected by the more learned men and specialists of this dis ease But, the ''comnion run" of physicians, not detecting it, give the patient epson salts or other drugs prescribed by the old code of treatment under which their grandfathers and great-grandfathers practiced!
 Anon, we hear that the patient is "comfort- able" But ere long, maybe, they "tap" him and take some water from him and again the
 ffcomfortable' story is told. Torture him rather than allow him to Warmers Safe Curel With such variations the doctors play upon the unfortunate until his shroud is made, when we learn that he died from heart disease, ,pyemia, septic@mia or some other deceptive though "dignifed cause"
 Ex-President Arthurs case is not singular it is typical of every such case. ''He is suffering intensely" This is not usual. Generally there is no suffering. He may re- cover, if he will act independently of his physicians. The agency named has cured
 thousands of persons even in the extreme stages-is to-day the mainstay of hundreds of thousands It is an unfortunate fact that physicians will not admit there is any virtue outside of their own sphere, but each school denies virtue to all others, the peo- pie act on their own judgment and accept | things by the record of merit they make. The facts are cause for alarm, but there is abundant hope in prompt and independent action.
