 Apropos of the sudden death of Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan, we note that the New York Sun. points out the singular fact that Governor Dewitt Clinton, Governor Silas Wright, Cor ernor William Marcy, Governor and Chief Justice Sanford F.. Church, and Governor, k. E. Fenton, all of New York State, dropped dead of heart disease, and under quite identical cir cumstances-each of them dying while reading letter except Marcy, who Was perusing Cowper's poems. 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 un- known and mysterious Engineer, is awful in its impressiveness. Few personslik ke to count their own pulse beats, and fewer persons still enjoy marking the "thub-thub" of their own heart.
 What if it should skip < beat" As matter of fact the heart Is the least susceptible to primary disease oi our vital organs. It is, however, very much injured by certain long contin- ued 'conjestions of the vital organs,li the kidneys, liver and stomach. Moreover, blood filled wirh uric acid l produces q rheumatic tendency, and Is very injurious to healthful heart action,-it often proves fatal, and, of course comes from impaired kidney action.
 Roberts, the great English authori- tv, says that heart disease is chiefly secondary to some more fatal malady in the blood or other vital organs. | That Is, 1t Is not the original source Y, oi the fatal malaby.
 1 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 Ii they are at all diseased, it is very, very hard task Take as an 1 illustrations: The kidneys are very subject to congestion and yet, being ! deficient in the nerves of sensation, this congcsted condition is not indi- cated by pain. It may exist for years, unknown even to physicians, and il 1t does not result in complete destruc- ton of the kidneys, the extra work which is forced upon the heart Weak ems it every year, and-a mysterious" sudden death claims another victim !!
 This is the true history of "heart disease,"-so called, which in reality Is chiefly secondary effect of Bright's disease of the kidneys, and indicates the universal need of that renowned specific Warmers safe cure.
 E. r. Larrabee, Esq, of Boston, who was by 1t so wonderfully cured of E rights disease, in 1879, says that N fh its disappearance went the dis dressing heart disorder, which he then discovered was only secondary to the renal trouble.
 There is general impression that the medical profession Is not at fault if it frankly admits that heart disiase 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 there is help for the kidney disorder winch in most cases Is responsible for the heart trouble, and if its use put money and fame into the treasury of the profession instead of into the hands of an independent investigator, every graduated doctor in the world would exclaim of it, as one, nObler and and less prejudiced than his fellows, once exclaimed: "It is a God-send to humanity"
 What therefore must be the public estimate of that bigOtry and want of frankness which forbids in such cases (becausc forsooth 1t 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 a moments warm ing" This likewise is an untruth Warnings are given by the thousand. Physicians are mot surprised" They expected it" They know what the end will be, but the victim?-"Oh no, he musn't be told, you know, it would only frighten him, for there is no help you know, for it?"
 The fate that attended Little Mac" and the five governors is not a royal and exclusive One-it threatens every one who fails to head the warnings of nature as set forth above. n9-lw >>O~>
