DROPPED DEAD"
THE FATE THAT ovERCAME 'LITTLE MAC
AND FIVE OTHER GOVERNORS.

Apropos of the sudden death of Gen.
Geo. b. Mcclellan, we note that the New
York Sun. points out the singular fact
that Go vernon Dewitt Clinton, Governor
6llas Wright, Governor William 4.
bsc.cy, Governor and Chief Justice
Sanford E. Church, and Governor R. e.
FeDton, all of New York State, dropped
dead of heart disease, and under quite
identical circuDastaaces-edch of then,
dying ahile reading a letter ercept

Hold your hand against the ribs on
your left side, front, the regular, steady
beating OF the great ''force pump" of the
system, run by an uukno wn and mys
terious Engineer, is awful in its impress

Few persons like to count their OWE
pulse beats, and fewer persons still enjoy
marking the "thub-thub" of their own
heart.
What if 1t should skip a 6eat!''
As a matter of fact the heart is the
least susceptible to primary disease OF
any OF our vital organs. 1t is, however,
very much injured by certain long con-
tinued congestions of the vital organs,
Ike the kidneys, liver and stomach.
Moreover, blood filled with uric acid
produces rheumatic tendency, and is
very injurious to healthful heart action,
it often proves fata,, and, of course,
the uric acid comes from impaired
kidney action.
Roberts, the great English authority,
says that heart disease is chiefly second
airy to some more fatal malady in the
blood or vital organs. That is, it is not
the original source of 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 it is a very. very
bard task. Take as an illustration: The
kidneys are very subject to congestion
and yet, being deficient in the nerves of
sensation, this congested condition is not
Indicated 6y pain. 1t may exist for
years, unknown even to physicians, and
if it does not result ip complete destruc-
ton of the kidneys, the extra work which
is forced upon the heart weakens it every
year, and-a mysterious" sudden death
claims another victiml
This is the true history of "heart dis
ease, so called, which in reality is
chiefly a secondary effect of Brght's
disease OF the kidneys, and indicates the
universal need of that renowned specific
Warmers safe cure.
B. f. Larrabee, ESQ, of Boston, who
was by it so wonderfully y-cured of Bright's
disease, in 1879, says that with its dis
appearance went the distressing heart

only secondary to the renal trouble.
There is general impression that the
medical profession is not at fault if it
frankly admits that heart disease is the
cause of death. In other words, cure
of heart disease is not expected of them!
There may be no help for broken
down, worn out, apoplectic heart, but
which in most cases S is II Responsible & Tor
the heart trouble, and if its use put
money and fame into the treasury of the
profession Instead of into the hands of
an indepe endent investigator, every gradu-
ated doctor in the world would exclaim
of it, as one, nobler and less prejudiced
than his fellow, once exclaimed: cit is
God send to humanity
What therefore must be the public
estimate of that bigotry and want of
frankress which forbids in such cases
(becsuse forsooth it is proprietary
article), the use of the one effective
remedial agency of the age?
Heart disease" indeed! Why not
call such things by their right names?
Why not?
"Dead without moments warming "
This likewise is an untruth Warnings

The fate that attended ''Little Mac
and the five governors is not royal and
