Just such as this is the plot of MANY

profession, They write the first two or
three acts with no conception of what their
They have not the d%iscernment for trac-

hundred has the adequate microscopic and
chemical appliances for discovering
bright's disease in it's early stages, and
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 ailments,
whereas these ailments are really results
of bright's disease Of which they are I'M

Beyond any doubt, 80 per cent. of all
deaths except from epidemics and acci-
dents, result from diseased kidneys or
livers. II the dying be distinguished and

the deceased be less noted, ''malaria" is
now the fashionable assignment of the
cause of death.
But all the same, named right or named

sedentary habits,-lawy'ers, clergymen,
congressmen,-it also plays great havoc
among farmers, day laborers and mechan-
les, though they do not suspect it, because
their physicians keep it from them, if in
deed they are'able to detect it.

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 kidney disease and will
end-who does not know how?
No, nature has not been remiss. Inde-
pendent research has given an infallible
remedy for this common disorder; but OF
course the bigoted physician will not use
Warmers safe cure, because it is a private
affair and cuts up their practice by restor-
ing the health of those who nave been in
valids for years.

Ex-Presiden5 Arthur's case is not singu.
lar-it.i is typical of every such case. "He
is suffering intensely" This is not usual.
Generally there is almost no suffering.
