That telegram is act ". Of a drama
written by ex-President Arthur's ply
sicians. In Act |. he was made to
appear in malaria" of which all the
country was told when he went to
Florida.
In Act III. he represented a tired
man, worn down, walking the sands
at Old Point Comfort and looking
eastward over the Atlantic toward
Europe for longer rest.

"uoe SuCh dS NhIo IL lne plOl VI many
dramas by play-wrights of tie medi-
cal 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 discernment for
tracing in the early, what the latter
impersonations will be. Not one ply
sician in hundred has the adequate
microscopic and chemical appliances
for discovering Bright's disease in its
early stages, and when many do finally
comprehend that their patients are
dying with 1t, when death 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 of
Bright's disease of which they are uu-
conscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, so per cent of all
deaths except from epidemics and ac-
cidents, result from diseased kidneys
or liver. If the dying be distinguished
and his friends too intelligent to be
easily deceived, his physicians per-
haps pronounce the complaint to be
perlcarditis, pyImia, septicpmia, bron-
chitis, pleurtis, valvular LESSONS of the
heart, pneumonia, etc. If the de-
ceased be less noted, "malarian 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, clcrgymen, congrcssmcn,-it
also plays great havoc among farmers,
day laborcrs and mechanics, though
they do not suspect it, because their
physicians keep it from them, if il
deed they are able to detect it.
1t sweeps thousands of women and
children into untimely graves every
year. The health gives way gradual
ly, the strength is variable, tho appe-
tlte tickle, the yigor 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 rcmiss. In
dependent research has given an in
fallible remedy for this common dis.
order; but of course the bigOtcd phy-
sicians will not use Warmers Safe
Cure, because 1t il a private affair and
cuts up their practice by restoring the
health of those who have been inyalids
for years.

as the Englishman would say, sounds

this disease is readily detected by the

This is not usual. Generally there
is almost no suffering. 1emay recov-

physicians. The agency named has
cured thousands of persons even in
the extreme stages-is to-day the
mainstay of the health of hundreds of
thousands. 1t is an unfortunate fact
that physicians will not admit there
is any virtue outside their own sphere,
but as each school denies virtue to 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
independent action.
