FOUR ACTS PLAYED!
SAD REPORT ABOUT Ex-PREsIDENT
ARTHUR.
Will the Fifth and Final Act be a Tragedy

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
"Dr. Lincoln, who was at the fu- {"
neral of ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen, "
says EXPIRES dent Arthur looked q"
Every unwell. He is suffering from
Bright's disease. During the past "
"year it has assumed very aggra- "
"vated FORM
That telegram is act w. of a drama
written by ex-President Arthur's ply
sicians. In act |. he was made to APP
pear in Malaria" of which all the
country was told when he went to Flor
ida.
In act III. he represented tired man,
worn down, walking the sands at Old
Point Comfort and looking eastward
over the Atlantic toward Europe for
longer rest.
The curtain rolls up for act Ill. upon
the distinguished actor affected with
melancholy from Bright's disease, while
act ~. discovers him with the disease
Gin an aggravated form, suffering in
tensely, (Which is Unusually and about
to take sea voyage"
Just such as this is the plot of many
dramas by play-wrights of the medical
profession. They write the first two OF
three acts with no conception of what
their character will develop in the final
one.
They have not the discernment for
tracing in the early, what the latter i'm
presentations will be. Not one physician
in hundred has the adequate miscros-
copic and chemical appliances for dis
covering bright's disease in its early
stages, and when many do finally COM
prehend that their patients are dying
with it, when death occurs, they will to
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's
disease of which they are unconscious
victims.
Beyond any doubt, so 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-
ditis, pyemia, septicgmia, bronchitis,
pleuritis, valvular LESSONS of the heart,
pneumonia, etc. If the diseased be less
noted, malaria is now the fashiona-
BILE assignment of the cause of death.
But all the same, named right or
named wrong, this fearful scourge gath
ers them in While it prevails among
persons of sedentary habits, -lawyers,
clergymen, congressman 1T also plays
great havoc among farmers, day labor
ers and mechanics, though they do not
suspect it, because their physicians keep
it fr m them, if indeed they are able to
detect it.
1t sweeps thousands of women and
children into untimely graves every
year. The health gives way gradually,
the strength is variable, the appetite
tickle, tho vigor gets less and less.
This isn't malaria-it is the beginning
of kidney disease and will end-who
does not know howp
No, nature has not been remiss. In
dependent research has given an infal-
lible remedy for this common disorder;
but of course the bigoted physicians
will not use Warmers safe cure, be-
cause it is private affair and cuts up
their practice by restoring the health of
those who have been invalids for
years.
The new saying of show common
brights disease is becoming among
prominent men!" is getting old, and
as the Englishman would say, sounds
stupid especially stupid" since
this disc Sc is readily detected by the
more learned men and specialists 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 grandfathers and
| eat-gi andfathers practiced
Anon, we hear that the patient is
comfortable. But ere long, maybe,
they tap him and take some water
from him and the comfortable story
is told. Torture him rather than allow
him to use Warmers safe cure With
such variations the doctors play upon
the unfortunate unit il his shroud is made,
when we learn that he died from heart
disease, pyemia, septicemia or some
other deceptive though "dignified
cause.'
Ex-President Arthur's case is not
singular-it is typical of every such
case. ''He is suffering intensely"
Tn is not usual. Generally there is
almost no suffering He may recover,
if he will act independently of bis
physicians. The agency named has
cured thousands of persons even in the
extreme stages B. is to-day the main-stay
of the health of hundreds of thousands
t is an unfortunate fact that physicians
will not admit there is any virtue out
side their own sphere, but as each
hool denies virture to all others, the
peop'e 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.
