prevalence of disorders of the kidneys;
and of various diseases caused by the
imperfect operation of the kidneys and
liver. According to Roberts, Thomp-
son and other recognized authorities,
kidney disorders are very common, but
the obscurity Of their positive symptoms
is so marked that many people, i'll and
out of sorts generally, are really victims
OF kidney complaint, and they and their
physicians do not realize Il. Rheumatic
pains, irregular appetite, frequent head
ache, chills and fever, blues" hot and
dry skin, sour stomach, dyspepsia, irreg-
ular action of the bowels, nervous irri-
liability, muscular soreness, cramps, Ian
guor, impairment Of memory, loss of
virility, are among the Treliminary evil
dencss of coming kidney and liver de-
engagements. As the disease develops,
then follow lame back, swelling ankles,
pale face, scalding sensations, the water
sometimes being very light and album
dant, at others scarce, dark-colored and
frothy, and Astounding in sediment, and,
under the microscope, In albumen and
tube casts. If the deranged kidneys are
not promptly attended to there is dan
ger of the terrible Brlght's Disease
hitherto considered incurable, which Is
a consumption or destruction of the kid
neys-the near approach of which alarm
| ing disorder should awaken the liveliest
concern, for it soon hurries one into the
grave unless promptly checked.
Disordered kidneys have the unfor-
tunate effect also of weakening the vigot
of the liver, as indicated If one has, be-
sides the above symptoms, yellow
spotted skin, fat covered eye-balls,
frontal headach after eating, burning
and itching skin, cold eXtremeties, 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, wake
fulness at night, drowsiness by day, etc.
These are some of the commoner symp-
toms us laid down by leading medical
authorities, and with them in view one
ought not to have much trouble in ascer-
tanning II he is suffering from disorders
Of these great organs.
These observations have been called
forth by double column 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 old and young every
where, resulting in terrible and un-
timely deaths; they take off more people
than epidemies; physicians report deaths
as occurring from such diseases as apo.
plexy, paralysis, commissions, heart dis
ease, pneumonia, fevers, etc., when In
reality these disorders are often second.
