ApropOs of the sudden death of Gen. Geo. E. Mcclellan. We note that the New York Sttn points out the singular fact that Governor Dewitt Clinton, Gov eruor Silas Wright, Governor William l.. Marry, Governor and Chief Justice Sanford r.. Church, and Governor R F..

 As a matter of fact the heart IS the least susceptible to primary disease Of any of our vital organs. !t IS, however, very much injured by certain lOng-Con- tiuued compositions of the vital organs, like the kidneys, liver, and stomach. Moreover. blood filled with uric acid produces a 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 authority, says that heart disease IS chiefly secondary to some more fatal malady m the blood or other vital organs. That is, it IS not the original sOurc. 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 q very, very hard task Take as an illustration: The kidneys are very subject tO con gestion and yet, being deficient in the nerves of sensation, this COngeSted con dition is HO, indicated bg pdiH. IL may exist for years, unknown even Co physI- cians, and ii 1t does not result m complete deStructiOnB of the kidneys, the extra work which is forced upon the heart weakens it every year, and--a mysterious" sudden death claims sn- other victim,
 This is the true history of "hedrt disease ,}'-sO called, which in reality is chiefly a secondary effect of Bright's disease of the kidneys, and indicates the universal need oi that renowned specific Warmers Safe Cure.
 E. r Larrabee, Esq, of Boston, who was bv 1t so wonderfully cured Oi Brights disease, in 1879, says that with it's disappearance went the distressing heart disorder, which he then dis covered was only secondary Co the renal trouble.
 There is . general impression that the medical profession k not at fault II 1t frankly admits that heart disease K the cause of death. In other words. q cure of heart disease is not expected ol them

 What, therefore, must be the pubic estimate oi that bicO,ry and want of frankness which forbiis in such cases Cbecausc forsooth it is a proprietary articlcj, tEe use of the one effective remedial agency of the age?
