During the past year it has assumed O"
very aggravated form"
That telegram is Act ". Of drama
written by ex-President Arthur's physi.
ians. In Act |. he was made to appear in
''Malaria," Of which all the country was
old when he went to Florida.
In Act Ill. he represented q tired man,
worn down, walking the sands at Old
Point Comfort and looking eastward over

he distinguished actor affected with mel
lncholy from bright's disease, while Act
v. discovers him with the disease Sin an
aggravated form, suffering intensely,
which Is Unusually and about to take sea
voyage"
Just such as this is the plot of many
lramas by play wrights of the medical
profession, They write the first two or
three acts with no conception of what their
character will develop in the final one.
They have not the discernmsnt for trac-
ing In the early what the latter imperson-
ations will be. Not one physician in a
hundred has the adequate microscopic and
chemical appliances for discovering
rights disease in its early stages, and
when many do finally comprehend that
heir patients are dying with 1t, when
leath occurs, they will, to cover up their
ignorance Of it, pronounce the fatality to
have been caused by ordinary ailments,
whereas these ailments are really results
If bright's disease Of which they are I'M
conscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, 80 per cent. Of all
!eaths except from epidemics and acct
Tents, result from diseased kidneys or
!vers. If the dying be distinguished and
ceived, his physicians perhaps pronounce
The complaint to be pericarditis, pyemia,
septicemia, bronchitis, pleuritis, valvular

the deceased be less noted, "malaria" is
now the fashionable assignment of the
cause of death.
But all the same, named right or named
wrong, this fearful scourge gathers them
in! While it prevails among persons OF
sedentary habits,-lawyers, clergymen
congressmen,-it also plays great havoc
among farmers, day laborers and mechan.
les, though they do not suspect it, because
deed they are able to detect it.
1t sweeps thousands of women and chill
dren into untimely graves every year. The
health gives way gradually, the strength
is variable, the appetite tickle, the vigol
gets less and less. This isn't malaria-it
is the beginning of kidney disease and will
end-who does not know how?
No, nature has not been remiss. indie.

remedy for this common disorder; but o.
course the bigoted physician will not ust

affair and cuts up their practice by restor

man would say, sounds "stupid"-espec

the doctors play upon the unfortunate

Ex-President Arthur's case is not singu
lar-it is typical of every such case. "H,
is suffering intensely" This is not usual
Generally there is almost no suffering
