THERE IS a widespread and serious
prevalence of disorders of the kidneys,
and of varions diseases caused by the
imperfect operations of the kidneys and
liver. According to Roberts, Thompson
and other recognized authorities, kidney
disorders are very common; but the
obscurity of their positive symptoms is
so marked that many people, Ill and out
of sorts generally, are really victims of
kidney complaint, and they and their
physicians do no not realize it. Rheu-
matte pains, irregular appetite, frequent
headache, chills and fever, "blues," hot
and dry skin, sour stomach, dyspepsia,
irregular action of the bowels, nervous
irritability, muscular soreness, cramps,
languor, impairment of memory, loss
of virility, are among the preliminary
evidences of coming Kidney and liver
arrangements. As the disease develops
then follow lame back swelling ankles,
pale face, scalding sensations,
the water sometimes being very
light and abundant; at others,
scarce, dark colored and frothy, and
Astounding in sediment, ana, under the
microscope, in albumen and tube casts.
If the deranged kidneys are net prop
erly attended to, there Is danger of the
terrible Bright's Disease-hitherto con-
sidered incurable, which is con-
sumption Or destruction of the kidneys
the near approach of which alarming
disorder should awaken the hveliest
concern, for it soon hurries one into the
grave, unless promptly checked.
DisOrdered kidney have the unfortu-
nate effect also of weakening the yigor
of the liver, as indicated if one has,
besides the above symptoms, yellow
spotted SKIN, fat covered eye-balls,
frontal headache Alternating. burning
and itching skin, cold extremities, hot
head. bad circulation of blood, sick head
ache, nausea, light-colored excavations.
constipation. piles, variable appetite and
feelings, dizziness, blurred eyesight liver
cough, ague, chills, fevers, wakefulness
at night, drnwsiness by day, etc.
These are some of the cOmmoner
symptoms as laid down by leading med
ical authorities, and with them in view
one ought not to have much trouble in
ascertaining if he is suffering from dis
orders of these great organs.
These observations have been called
forth by a double-eofumn article which
appears in another place in this paper.
Skeptical of some of the statements
made therein, and at other times by the
same persons, we have been led to make
little study of the matter ourselves,
with the above result. These diseases
prevail amongst young and old every
where, resulting in terrible and I'M
timely deaths; they take off more peO-
pie than epidenics; physicians report
death as occurring from such diseases as
apoplexy, paralysis, commissions, heart
disease, pneumonia fevers, etc., when in
reality these disorders are often second
airy to Bright's Disease, and wouldseldom
occur were the kidneys in healthy
working condition. Hence, from per-
sonal knowledge, or from the. trust
worthy experience of other competent
Judges, we believe there is no prepare
ton equal to the remedy that is so this
