DR.. Lincoln who was at the
funeral of ex-Secretary Freling-
huysen, says ex-president Arthur
looked very unwell. He is suffer
ing from Bright's disease. During
the past year it has assumed very
aggravated form
That telegram is act ". Of drama
written by ex-President Arthurs ply
sicans. In Act /. he was made to APP
pear in Malaria of which all the
county was toll when he went to
Florida
In set II. be represents q tired man,
worn down, walking the sauds of Old
Point Comfort and looking eastward
over the Atlaatic toward Europe for a
longer Test.
The curtain rolls up for Act III. upon
the distinguished actor affected with
melancholy from bright's disease, while
Act ~. discovers hIn with the disease
IN an aggravated form, suffering in

just such as this is the plot of many
dramas by playrights Of the medical
profession. They write the first two
or three acts with no conception of
what their character will Develop in
the final one.
They have not the discernment for
tracing ia the early, what the latter
representations will be.
Not one physician in q hundred has
the adequate microscopic ana chemic-
al appliances for discovering brighSs
disease in its early stages, and when
many do finally comprehend that their
patients are dying with it, when death
occurs, they Will, to cover up their
ignorance of it, pronounce the fatality
to have been caused by ordinary all
ments, whereas these ailments are
really results of brights disease of
which they are unconscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, so per cent of all
deaths except from epidemics and acct
dents, result from diseased kidneys or
liyers. If the dying be distinguished
and his friends too intelligent to be
easily deceived, his physicians perhaps
pronounce the complaint to be peri
carditis, py@mia, septic@mia, bronchit-
is pleuritis, Talvular LESSONS of the
heart; pneumonia, etc. If the deceas-
ed be less noted, "malaria" is now she
fashionable assignment Of the cause Of
death.
But all the same, named right or
named wrong, this fearful scourge gath
ers them in! While it prevails among
persons of sedentary habits lawyers,
clergymen, congressman 1t also plays
great havoc among farmers, day labor
ers and mechanics, though they do not
suspect it, because their physicians keep
it from them, if indeed they are able to
detect it,
1t sweeps thousands of women and
children into untimely graves every
year. The health gives way gradually,
the strength is variable, the appetite
tickle, the vigor gets less and less. This
isn't malaria-it is the beginning of kid
ney disease, and viii end-who does not
know how?
No, nature has not been remiss. In.
dependent research Has given an infalli-
bie remedy for this common disorder;
but of course the bigoted physicians
will not use Warmers safe cure, because
it is private affair and cuts up their
practice by restoring the health Of chose
who have been invalids for years.
The new saying of how common
bright's disease is becoming among
prominent menu is g ting old, and as
the Eaglishman would say, sounds
stupid especial 'stupid" since this
disease is readily detected by the more
learned men and specialists of disease.
But the common run" Of physicians,
lot detecting it, give the patient EPSON
salts or other drugs prescribed by tho
old code of treatment under which their
grandfathers and great-grandfathers
practiced
Anon, we hear that the patieAt ls
comfortable. 4" But ere long, may be,
they 'tap" him aad take some water
from him and again the comfortable
story is told. Torture him rather than
allow him to use Warmers safe cure
With such variations the doctors play
upol the unfortunate until his shroud
is made, when we learn that he died
from heart disease, py@mia, septic@mia
or some other deceptive though "d'gni-
fed cause"
Ex-President Arthur's case is not
sinsular-it is typical of every such
case. Gle is suffering intensely" This
is not usual. Generally there is almost
no suffering, He may recover, if he
will act Independently of his physi-

Ii is an unfortunate fact that pbysi-
oiaIs viii not admit there is airy virtue
outside their own sphere, but AS each
school denies virtue to all others, the
people act on their own judgment and
accept things by the record Of merit
they make.
The facts are cause for alarm. but
there is abundant hope in prompt and
independent action.
