Apropos Of the sudden death Of General

New York Sun points out the singular
fact that Governor Dewitt Clinton, Gov

What u 10 should skip a beatw
AS matter of fact the heart is the least
susceptible to primary disease of any OF
our vital organs. 1t is, however, very
much injured by certain long continued
congestions of the vital organs, like the
kidneys, liver and stomach. Moreover,
blood filed with uric acid produces a
rheumatic tendency, and is very injurious
to healthful heart action-it often proves
fatal, and, of course, the uric acid comes
from impaired kidney action.
Roberts, the great English authority,
says that heart disease is chiefly secondary
to some more fatal malady in tho blood or
original source of the fatal malady.
The work of the heart is to force blood
into every part of the system. II the
organs are sound 1t is an easy task. IL
they are at all diseased, 1t is q vOry, very
hard task. Take as an illustrations: The
kidneys are very subject to congestion
and yet, being deficient In tho nerves of
sensation, this congested condition is not
Indicated by pain. 1t may exist for years,
unknown even TO physicians, and IL it does
not result in complete destruction of the
kidneys, the extra work which is forced
upon the heart weakens 1t every year. and
"a mysterious sudden death claims
another victim!
iiThis is the true history of "heartdisease"
so called, which in reality is chiefly n
secondary effect of Bright's disease of the
kidneys, and indicates the universal need
of that renowned specific, Warmers safe
cure.
b. f.. Larrabee, Esq, of Boston, who
was by 1T so wonderfully cured of Bright's
disease, in 1879, says that with its dis tp-
pearance went the distressing heart dis
order, which he then discovered was only
secondary to tho renal trouble.
There is a general impression that the
medical profession is not at fault if il
frankly admits that heart disease is the
cause OF death. In other words, cure of
heart disease is not expected of them!
There may be 10 help for broken
down, worn out, apoplectic heart, but
there is help for the kidney disorder
which 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 indepen-
dent Investigator, every graduated doctor
in the world would exclaim of it, as one,
nobler and less prejudiced than his fellows,
once exclaimed: sit is God send to hu-
manityw
What therefore must be the public esti-
mate Of that bigotry and want of frank
ness which forbids in such cases (because
forsooth it is proprietary artice), 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?

This likewise is an untrnth! Warnings
are given by the thousand. Physicians

the victim?-" oh no, he mustn't be teld,
you know, it would only frishtan him, for
there is no help, you know. for :"
The fate that attended "Little Mac" and
the five governors is not royal and ex-
elusive one-it threatens every one who
fails to heed the warnings of nature as set
forth above.
