plans of reorganization are perfected

have in view, the offices will be filled
acceptably to the party, and the sala-

There is widespread and serious
prevalence Of disorders of the kid
neys; and of various diseases caused
by the imperfect operation Of the
kidneys and liver. According to
Roberts, Thompson, and other recog-
nized authorities, kidney disorders
are very common, but the obscurity
Of their positive symptoms is so
marked that many people, i'll and out
of sorts generally, are really victims
of kidney complaint, and they and
their physician do not realize it..
Rheumatic pains, irregular appetite,
frequent headache, chills and fever,
"blues," hot and dry skin, sour stom-
ach, dyspepsia, irregular action of
the bowels, nervous irritability, mus
cular soreness, cramps, languor, i'm
pairment of memory, loss of virility,
are among the preliminary evidences
of coming kidney and liver derange-
ments. AS the disease develops
then follow lame back, swelling
ankles, pale face, scalding sensations,
the water sometimes being very
,light and abundant, at others scarce,
dark-colored and frothy, and abound
ing in sediment, and under the mi
crOscope, in albumen and tube casts.
If the deranged kidneys are not
promptly attended to there is danger
of the terrible Bright's Disease
hitherto considered incurable, which
is a consumption or destruction of the
kidneys-the near approach of which
alarming disorder should awaken the
liveliest concern, for it soon hurries
one into the grave unless promptly
checked.
Disordered kidneys have the I'M
fortunate effect also of weakening the
vigor of the liver, as indicated if one
has, besides the above symptoms,
yellow spotted skin, fat covered eye
balls, frontal headache after eating,
burning and itching skin, cold eX.
tremities, hot head, bad circulation
Of blood, sick headache, nausea, light
colored excavations, constipation,
piles, variable appetite and feelings,
dizziness, blurred eyesight, liver
cough, ague, chills, fevers, wakeful
ness at night, drowsiness by day, etc
These are some Of the commOneI
symptoms as laid down by leading
medical authorities, and with then
in view one ought not to have much
trouble in ascertaining if he is suffer
ing from disorders of these great or.
gans.
These observations have been call
ed forth by a double-column article
which appears in another place il
this paper. Skeptical of some of thu
statements made therein, and a
other times by the same persons, W.
have been led to make little study
Of the matter ourselves, with thu
above result. These diseases prevail
amongst young and old everywhere
resulting in terrible and untimely
deaths; they take off more peOpl,
than epidemics; physicians repor
death as occurring from such disease
as apopleXy, paralysis, commissions
heart disease, pneumonia, fevers, etc.
when in reality these disorders ar,
often secondary to Bright's diseas
and would seldom occur were tn,
kidneys in healthy working condi

we believe there is no preparation
equal to the remedy that is so promi

dangerous disorders of which we hav,

at this time when, threatened by
