Tragedy.
Rochester NcmOcrat dRd fhr0nirLr.
CDR. Lincoln who was AT the funeral of
eXSecretary Freiinghuyscn, says eX-Presi-
dent Arthur looked very unwell. He is
suffering from Hrights disease During
the pest year it has assumed Il very aggra-
waited form
That telegram is act ". of II drama writ
ten by eN-President Arthurs physicians.
In act |. he was made To appear in "Mala-
ria,' of which all the country was told
when he went to Florida.
In Act III. he represented Il tired man,
wern down, walking the sands of Old Point
Comfort aud looking eastward over the At
lantic toward Europe FOR a longer rest
The curtain rolls up for Act III. upon the
distinguished actor affected with mean-
choly from Bright's disease, while Act ".
discovers him with the disease Gin an ag-
gravated form, suffering intensely, (Which
is unusual) and about tc take sea voyage"
just such as this is the plot Of many
dramas by playwrightS of the medical pro-
fesson. They write the first two or three
acts with no conception Of what their char
acter will develop in the final one.
They have not the discernment for trac-
ing in the early, what the latter impcrsona-
tions will be. Not one physicion in hun.
dred has the adequate microscopic aud
chemical appliances for discovering Bright's
disease in its early stages, and wha: many
do finally comprehend that their patients
are dying with it, when death occurs, they
| will, to cover up their ignorance of il, pro
nounce the fatality to have been caused by
ordinary ailments, whereas these ailments
are really results Of Bright's disease of
which they are unconscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, so per cent, of all
deaths, except from eridemics and acct
dents, result from diseased kidneys or liv-
ers If the dying he distinguished and his
| friends too intelligent to be easily deceived,
his physicians perhaps pronounce the com
| p!ainI to he perichr@itis, pyH.mia, SepticT
| mia, bronchitis, pleuritiS, vaivuiar LESSONS
| uI the heart, pneumonia, etc. II the de
| ceased he less noted, "malara" is now the
| fashionable assignment of the cause of death
But all the same named right or named
| wrong this fearful scourg. gathers them in.
|
! tary habits, Lawyers, clergymcn, congress-
men,-it also plays great havoc among
| farmers, day laborers and mechanics,
| though they do not suspect it, because their
| ply ysicians keep it from them, if indeed
| they are able TO detect it.
| 1t sweeps thousands of women and chill
dren into untimely graves every year. The
health gives away gradually, the strength
| Is variable, the appetite tickle, the vigor
gets less and less. This isn't ,nalaria-it Is;
the beginning of kidney disease and will
end-who does not know how?
No, nature has not been remss. IIde-
| pendent research has given an infalible
remedy for this common disorder; but OF
course the bigOtcd physicians will not use
| Warmers safe cure, because it is "A private
| affair and cuts up their practice by restor-
| ing the health of those who have been inva-
| lids for years.
The new saying of show common bright 5
disease is becomingamong prominent men,
| is getting old, and as the En- giShuan would
say, sounds ''stupid'-especially stupid"
| since this disease is readily detected by the
the more learned men and specialists of this
disease. But the common rum of physi-
clans, not detecting it, give the patient
EPSON salts or other drugs prescribed by
the old code of treatment under which their
! grandtathers and great-grandflthcrs prac-
ticed
Anon, we hear that the patient is 'com-
| Portable" But ere long, maybe, they "tap''
| him and take some water from him and
| again the ''cumtortable" story is told. Tor
ture him rather than allow him to use War
ner's safe cure! With such variations the
doctors play upon the unfortunate until his
| Shroud is made, when we learn that hc
( died from heart disease, pyTmia, scptic:r
mia or some other deceptive though ''digni-
fed cause"
Ex President Arthnr's case is not Singh
| lar-it is typica! of every such case. "lie
| is suffering intensely" This is not usual.
| Generally there is almost no sIItf ring. lie
may recover, if he will act Independently of
his physicians. The agency named has
cured thousands of persons even i'll the eX-
treme Stages-is today the mainstay of the
| hundreds OF thousands. 1t is AN unfurtu-
nate fact that physicians will not admit
there is any virtue outside their own sphere
| but as each school denies virtue tn all others,
| the people act on their own Judgment and
accept things by the record of merit they
make. The facts are cause for alarm, but
there is abundant hope in prompt and in
dependent action.
