'Dr. Lincoln who was at the funeral of ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen, says ex- President Arthur looked very unwell. He is suffering from Bright's disease. During the past year 1t has assumed very aggravated form."
 That telegram is Act ". of a drama written by ex-President Arthur's phy- sicians. In Act l. he was made to ap- pear in Malaria" of which all the country was told when he went to Flor ida.
 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 longer rest.
 The curtain rolls up for Act III. upon the distinguished actor affected with melancholy from Bright's disease, while Act ". discovers him with the disease ''in an aggravated form, suffering in- tensely (which is unusuaD and about to take a sea voyage"
 Just such as this Is the plot of many dramas by play-wrights oi the medical D. oiession. 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 physi- elan in a hundred has the adequate mir croscopic and chemical appliances for discovering Bright's disease in it's early stages, and when many do finally com prehend that their patients are dying with it, when death occurs, they will, to cover up their ignorance of 1t, pro nounce the fatality 10 have been caused bv ordinary ailments, whereas these ailments are really results of Bright's disease of which they are unconscious victims.
 Beyond any doubt eighty per cent. of all deaths, except from epidemics and accidents, result from diseased kidneys or livers. If the dying be distinguished and his friends too intelligent 10 be easily deceived, his physicians perhaps pronounce the complaint to be pericar- ditis. pyamia, septicsemia, bronchitis, pleuritis. yalvular lesions of the heart, pneumonia, etc. Ii the deceased be less noted, malaria" is now the fash ionable assignment of the cause of death.

 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. ln- dependent research has given an infal lible remedy for this common disorder; but of course the bigote1 physicians will not use Warmers Safe Cure, because it is a private affair, and cuts up their practice by restoring the health of those who have been invaIids for years.
 The new saving Of how common Bright's disease is becoming among prominent men!" is getting old, and, as the Englishman would say. sounds " stupid "-especially stupid" since this disease is readily detected by the more learned men and specialists of this disease. But the common run" of physicians, not detecting it, give the patient EpsOm Salts or other drugs pre- scribed by the old code oi treatment under which their grandfathers and great-grandiathers practicedi
 Anon, we hear that the patient is |" comfortable; but erelong, maybe, they "tap" him and take some water from him. and again the comfortable story is told Torture him rather than allow him to use Warmers Safe Cure With such variations the doctors play upon the unfortunate until his shroud is made, when We learn that he died from heart disease, py@mia, septicemia, or some other deceptive though dig nifed cause"
 Ex-President Arthur's case is not sin gular-it is typical of every such case. |" He is suffering intensely" This is not usual. Generally t.iere is almost l no suffering. He may recover, if he l will act Independently of his physicians. l 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. It is an un- | fortunate 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 l action. Rochester Demo crat and Cbroufg1a
