FOUR FACTS PLAYEDi
Sad Report About Ex-Presidenr Arthur
WILL THE FIFTH AND FINAL ACT BE
TRAGEDY?

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
| "Dr. Lincoln who was at the funer-"
cal of ex-Secretary Frehnghuysen,' =
s'says ex-President Arthur looked very
s'unwell. He Is suffering from Bright's
"disease. During the past year 1t has"
assumed a very aggravated form.
That telegram is act Nv. of drama
written by ex-President Arthur's ply
sicians. In Act l. he was made to ap-
pear in Malaria" of which all the
country was told when he went to
Florida.
In Act Ii. he represented tired man,
worn down, walking the sands at Old
| Point Comfort and looking eastward
over the Atlantic toward Europe for Il
| longer rest.
The curtain rolls up for act Ill. upon
the distinguished actor affected with
melancholy from Brigbt's disease, while
Act IV. discovers HIM with the disease
''in an aggravated form, suffering in
tensely, (which is unusuaiD and about
to take a sea voyage"
Just such as this is the plot OF many
dramas 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 discernment for
tracing IN the early, what the latter i'm
presentations will be. Not one physic-
ian in hundred has the adequate mi
croscoplc and chemical appliances for
discovering bright's disease IN its early
stages. and when many do finally
comprehend that their patients are dy-
ing with it, when death occurs, they
will, to cover up their ignorance Of 1t,
pronounce the fatality to have been
caused by ordinary ailments, whereas
these ailments are really results of
Bright's disease of which they are un-
conscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, so per cent. of all
deaths except from epidemics and acci-
dents, result from diseased kidneys or
livers. If the dying be distinguished
and his friends too intelligent to be
easily deceived, his physicians perhaps
pronounce the complaint to be perlcar

pleuritis, vaivular LESSONS OF the heart.
pneumonia, etc. II the deceased be
less noted, "malaria" is now the fash
ionable assignment of the cause of death.
But all the same, named right or
wrong, this fessfu! scourge gathers
them in While it prevails among per-
sons of sedentary habits, - lawyers,
clergymen, congressman, it also plays
great havoc among farmers, day labor
ers and mechanics, though they do not
suspect it, because their physicians
Keep it from them, if indeed they are
able to detect it.
1t sweeps thousands of women and
children into untimely graves every
year. The health gives way gradually,
the strength is variable, the appetite
tickle, the vigor 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. In
dependent research has given an lnfallI-
BILE remedy for this common disorder;
but of course the bigoted physicians
will not use Warner safe cure, because
it Is private affair and cuts up their
practice by restoring the health of those
who have been lnvslids for years.

Ex- President Arthur's case is not
singular-it is typical of every such case.
He is suffering intensely" This Is
not usual. Generally there is almost
no suffering. He may recover, if he
will act Independently of his physicians.

hundreds of thousands. 1t is an unfor-

NIT 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
action.
