The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1885-03-28

THERE is widespread and serious
prevalence Of disorders OF the kidneys;
and of various diseases caused by the inn
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, chllls 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
the preliminary evidences of coming kid
ney and liver arrangements. AS the dis
ease develops, then follow lame back,
swelling ankles, pale face, scalding sonsa-
tions, the water sometimes being very
light and abundant, at others scarce,
dark colored and frothy, and Astounding
in sediment, and, under the microscope, III
albumen and tube casts. If the deranged
kidneys are not promptly attended to
there is danger of the terrible Bright'J
Disease-hitherto considered incurable,
which is a consumption or destruction OF
the kidneys-the near approach of which
alarming disorder should awaken che
liveliest concern, for it soon hurrics one
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 coloreG
excavations, constipation, piles, variable
appetite and feelings, dizziness, blurred
| eyesight liver cough, ague, chills, fevGrs,
waketulneSs 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 if
he is suffering from disorders of these
| great organs.
These observations have been called
forth Ivy double column article which ap.
pears n another place in this paper. Sleep.
| teal OF some of the statements made there's
| in, anG al other times by the same persons,
we have been led to make little study of
the ma, ter ourselves, with the above re-
suit These diseases prevail amongst
| young and old everywhere, resulting in
terrible and untimely deaths; they take Off
more J eople than epidemics; physicians
report cath as occurring from such dis
eases as apoplexy, paralysis, commissions,
heart disease, pneumonia, fevers, etc,
when in reality these diseases are often
secondary to Bright's disease and would
seldom occur were the kidneys in healthy
working condition. Hence, from personal
knowle lge, or from the trustworthy expe.
rience of other competent judges, we be-
lieve ihere is no preparation equal TO the
remedy that is so prominently mentioned
elsev here in this issue, for preventing and
curing the dangerous disorders of which
we have written. 1t has had an extraor-
binary sale, is everywhere commended,
the record of it's work seems indisputable,
its manufacturers are reputed to be men Of
the highest standing. We hold therefore,
that not to use it, if needed, would be a
crime against ones supremest interests,
especially at tn $ time when threatened
by fearful epidemic, it is of tho highest
Importance, according to DR.. Koch, the
celebrated German cholera specialist, that
we keep the kidneys, liver and digestive
organs in healthy action, if the scourge
would be escaped.
