THERE II . widespread and serious
prevalence of dis rders of the Kidneys;
and of various diseases caused by the i'm.
perfect operation of the kidneys and liver:
According to Roberts, Thompson, and
other recognized authorities, kidney dis
orders are very common, but the obscurity
of their positive symptoms Is so marked
that many people, i'll and out of sorts gem
orally, are really victims of kidney COM
plant, and they and their phys: clans do
not realize it. Rheumatic pains; Irregular
appetite, frequent headache, chius 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
ney and liver arrangements AS the dis
ease develops, then follow lame back,
swelling ankles, pale face, scalding sensa-
tions, the water sometimes being very
light and abundant, at others sccrces
dark-colored and frothy, and aboundinE
in sediment, aud, under the microscope, III
albumen and tube casts. If the deranged
kidneys are not promptly attended t.
there is danger of the terrible Bright'b
Disease-hitherto considered incurable,
which Is a consumption or destruction OF
the kidneys-the near approach OF which
alarming disorder should awaken the
liveliest concern, for 1t soon hurries ono
into the grave unless promptly checked.
Disordered kidneys have the unfortunate
effect also OF weakening the vigor OF tho
liver. as indicated if one has, besides tho
above symptoms, yellow spotted skin, fat
covered eye-balls, frontal headache after
eating, burning and itching skin, cold ex-
tremities, hot head, bad circulation OF
blood, sick headache, nausea, light-colored
excavations, constipation, piles, variable
appetite and feelings, dizziness, blurred
syesight, liver-cough, ague, chills, feverss
wakefulness at night, drowsiness BY day,
etc.
These are some of the commoner symp-
toms as laid down by leading medical au-
thorities, and with them in view one ought
not to have much trouble in ascertaining IL
he is suffering from disorders of these
great organs.

suit. These diseases prevail amongss
young and old everywhere, resulting in

more reople than epidemics; physicians
report Death as occurring from such dis
eases as apoplexy, paralysis, commissions,
heart disease, pneumonia, levers, ETC.,

secondary to Bright's disease and would
