tRochoster Democrat and Chroniole.1
CDR. Lincoln, who was at the funeral OF y
| "ox-Secretary Frelinghuysen, says ex-D
president Arthur looked very unwel. y
"Hois suffering from Brights disease y
| "During the past year 10 has assumed az
"very aggravai ,d form"
That telegram Is Act Nv. OF drama
written by ex.President Arthur's physi-
clans. In Act |. he was made to appear In
"Malaria,D Of which all tho country was
told when ho went TO Florida.
In Act II. he represented n tired man,
worn down, walking the sands at Old
Point Comfort and looking eastward over
the Atlantic toward Europe for a longer
rest.
Tho curtain rolls up for Act III. upon
| the distinguished motor affected with mel
ancholy from hrights disease, while Act
| w. discovers him with tho disease ''iu an
aggravated form, suffering intensely,
(which is Unusually and about 10 take a sea
voyage"
Just such as this Is the plot Of many
/ dramas by play- wrights OF tho medical
profession They write the first two or
three acts with no conception Of what their
character will develop I'm the final Que.
They have not tho discernment for trac-
ing In the early what the latter imperson-
ations will be. Not one physician in o
hundred has tho adequate microscopic and
chemical appliances for discovering
| brighps disease In It's early stages, and
when many do finally comprehend that
their patients arc dying with IL, when
death occurs, they will, 20 cover up their
| ignorance Of Il, pronounce the fatality to
have been caused by ordinary ailments,
whereas these ailments are really results
Of bright's disease of which they are un-
| pavord ,n,g doubt eo NOR cent. Of all
deoths except from epidemlcs and acci-
dents, result from discnsed kidneys or
livers. II the dying be distinguished and
his friends too Intelligent TO be easily de-
ceived, "a. physicians perhaps. pronounce
| the complaint to be pericarditis, pyRmia, ,
septicemia, bronchitis, plcuritis, valvular
LESSONS OF the heart, pneumonia, etc. III
! the deceased be less noted, malaria" Is
now the fashionable assignment OF the
cause OF death.
But all the same, named right or named
wrong, this fearful scourge gathers them
in While it prevails among persons OF
sadentary habits, s,-lawyers, clergymen,
congressman, also plays great havoc
among farmOrs, day labo. ers and mechau-
les, though they do not suspect IL, becaus,
their physicians keep 10 from thnm, IL In
decd they are ablo 10 detect It,
| Il sweeps thousands Of women and chill
dren into untimoly graves every year. The
health gives way gradually, the strength
Is variable, tho appetite tickle, the vigoi
gets less and less. This isn't malaria-ii
| Is the beginning of kidney disease and viii
end-who docs not know howl
No, nature has not been remiss. Inde-
pendent research has given an infallible
remedy for this common disorderi but OF
course tho bigoted physician will not use
Warmers safe cure, because II Is private
affair aud cuts up their practice by restor-
ing the health OF those who have been in
vilids for years.
The new saying Of chow common bright's
disease is becoming among prominent
mem !" Is getting old, and as the English
man would say, sounds "stupid,-espec-
tally "stupid" since this disease is readily
detected by the more learned men aud spe-
| cialists of this disease. But the common
run Of physicians, not detecting IL, give
the patient EPSON salts or other drugs pre-
scribed by tue old code or treatment under
which their grandfathers and great-grand-
fathers practiceil
Anon, we hear that the patient Is "com-
Portable" But ero long, maybe, they tap
him and take some water from him aud
again the "comiortable" story is told. Tor
ture him rather than allow him TO use
Warmers safe curo With such variations
the doctors play upon the unfortunate
until his shroud Is made, when we learn
that he died from heart disease, pywmia,
septicRmia or some other deceptive though
'dignided cause"
EN-President Arthur's case Is not singu-
lar-it is typical of every such case. HE
Is suffering Intensely" This is not usual.
Generally tharo is almost no suffering.
He may recover, II he will act independ-
emily of his physicians. The agency
named has curcd thousands OF persons even
In the extreme stages--is to-day the main
stay Of tho health OF hundreds Of thou
sands. IL is an unfortunate fact that phy-
sicians will not admit there Is any vir-
tue outside OF their own sphere, but as
each school denies virtue 70 all others, the
people act on their own Judgment and ac-
cept thinga by tho record OF merit they
make.
The facts aro cause for alarm, but there
:. abundant hope in prompt and independ-
4.t action.
