In act II. he represents tired man,

Just such as this is the plot of many
dramas by play-rights of the medical
profession. They write the first two
OF 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 hundred has
the adequate microscopic AMI chemic-
al appliances for discovering bright's
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 bright's 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
livers. If the dying be distinguished
| and his friends too intelligent to be
| easily deceived, his physicians perhaps
pronounce the complaint to be peri
carditig, py8mia, septic8mia, bronchit-
| is, pleuritis, valvular LESSONS of the
| heart; pneumonia, etc. If the deceas-
! ed be less noted, "malaria" is now tile
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, congressmen,-it also plays
| great havoc among farmers, day labor
ers and mechanics, though they do not
suspect it, because their physicians keep
il from them, if indeed they are able to
detect it.
Tt 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 will end-who does 4 O 5
/ know how?
No, nature has not been remiss In.
dependent research has given an infalH-
bie remedy for this common disorder;
but Of course the bigoted physicians
will not use Warmers safe cure, because
it is a private affair and cuts up their
practice by restoring the health of those
who have been inyalids for years.
The new saying Of chow common
hright's disease is becoming among
prominent men!' is getting old, and as
the Englishman would say, sounds
"stupid' especially ''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 the
OLD code of treatment under which their
grandfathers and great-grandfather
practiced
Anon, we hear that the patient IS
| Considerable. But ere long, may be,
they 'Ftap'' hin aad take some water
from him and again the comfortable
story is told. Torture him rather thar
allow him to use Warmers safe cure
With such variations the doctors play
upon the unfortunate until his shroud
| is made, when we learn that he dies
from heart disease, py aemia, septicae mia
{ or some other deceptive though ''djgni-
| fed cause"
Ex-President Arthur's case is not
sinsular-it is typical of every such
case. "He is suffering intensely" This
is not usual. Generally there is almost
no suffering, He may recover, if he
| will act Independently of his physi-
| Glars. The agency named has cured
thousands OF persons even in the ex-
treme stages--is to-day the mainstay Of
the health eff hund eds OF thousands.
lie IS an unfortunate fact that physi-
oiars will 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.
