THERE is widespread and serious
prevalence of disorders of the kidneys
and of various diseases caused by the i'm
perfect operation of the kidneys and
liver. According to Roberts, Thompson,
and other recognized authorities, kidney
disorders are very common, but the OBJ
security of their positive symptoms is so
marked that many people, ill and out of
sorts generally, are really victims of kid
ney complaint, and they and their phys
ician do not realize it. Rheumatic pains,
irregular appetite, frequent head ache,
chills and fever, "blues,'' hot and dry
skin, sour stomach, dyspepsia, irregular
action of the bowels, nervous irritability,
muscular soreness, cramps, langour, i'm
pairment of memory, loss of virility, are
among the preliminary evidences of COM
ing kidney and liver arrangements. 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
Astounding in sediment, and, under the
microscope, in albumen and tube casts.
If the deranged kidneys are not properly
attended to, there is danger of the terrible
Bright's Disease-hitherto considered in
durable, which is a consumption or de-
struction of the kidneys-the near APP
proach of which alarming disorder should
aw AIKEN the iveliest concern, for it soon
hurries one into the grave, unless prompt
~ checked.
Disordered kidneys have the unfortu-
nate effect also of we akening 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 extremities, hot head, bad circula-
ton of blood, sick headache, nausea,
excavations, constipation,
piles, variable appetite and feelings, dlz-
illness, blurred eyesight, liver-cough,
ague, chills, fevers, wakefulness at night,
drowsiness by day, etc.
These are some of the commoner symp-
toms as laid down by leading medical
and with them in view one ,
ought not to have much trouble in ascer-
tanning if he is suffering from disorders of
these great organs.
These observations have been called
forth by a double-column article which
appears in another place in this paper.
Skeptical of some of the statements made
therein, and at other times by the same
persons, we have been led to make a
little study of the matter ourselves, with
the above result. These diseases prevail
amongst young and old everywhere, re-
sulting in terrible and untimely deaths :;
they take off more people than cpl
denies physicians report death as oc-
curing from such diseases as apoplexy,
paralysis, commissions, heart disease,
pneumonia, fevers, etc., when in reality
these disorders are often secondary to
Bright's Disease, and would seldom
occur were the kidneys in healthy work.
ing condition. Hence, from personal
knowledge, or from the trustworthy
of other competent judges, we
believe there is no preparation equal to
the remedy that is so prominently men
toned elsewhere in this issue, for pre-
venting and curing the dangerous disor-
ders of which we have written. 1t has

commended, the record of its work seems
indisputable, its manufacturers are re-
puted to be men of the highest standing.
We hold, therefore, that not to use it, if
needed, would be. a crime against ones
yupremest interests, especially at this
time when, threatened by fearful cpl

to DIR. Koch, the celebrated
German cholera specialist, that we keep

healthy action, if the scourge would be
escaped.
