OF the opinion that when two claims be-
come united In a person, making only
one beneficiary, that person can not be
allowed, either directly or Indirectly,

THERE is widespread and serious
prevalence of disorders of the kidneys;
nd of INV
imperfect 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
sorts generally, are really victims of kid
ney complaint, and they and their ply
stefan do not realize it. Rheumatic palms.
irregular appetite, frequent headache.
chills and fever, "blues," hot and dry
skin, sour stomach, dyspepsia, irregular
action of the bowels, nervous irritability,
muscular soreness, cramps, languor, i'm
pairment Of memory, loss of virility, are
among the preliminary evidences of
coming 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 de-
ranged kidneys are not promptly attend
ed 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 unfortu-
nate effect also of weakening the vigOr
of the liver as indicated if one has, be-
sides the above symptoms, yellow spotted
skin, fat covered eye-balls, frontal head
ache after eating, burning and itching
skin, cold extremities, hot head, bad cir
culatiOn of blood, sick headache. nausea.
light colored excavations, constipation,
piles, variable appetite and feelings, dir
illness, blurred eyesight, iver-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
authorities, 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, ard at other times by the
same persons, we have been led to make
little study of the matter ourselves,
with the above result. These diseases
prevail amongst young and old every
where, resulting in terrible and untimely
deaths; they take off more people than
epidemics; physicians report death as
occurring from such diseases as apo
pleXy, paralysis, commissions, heart dis
ease, pneumonia, fevers, etc., when in
reality these disorders are often second
airy to Bright's disease and would seldom
occur were the kidneys in healthy work
ing condition. Hence, from personal
knowledge, or from the trustworthy ex-
perience 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
