THERE is a 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 gen.
orally, are really victims of kidney COM
plant, and they and their phys clans do
not realize 10. Rheumatic pains, irregular
appetite, frequent headache, chills 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 aboundinG
in sediment and, under the microscope, in
alhumen and tube casts. If the deranged
kidneys are not promptly attended %
there is danger of the terrible BrightD
Disease-hitherto considered incurable,
which is a consumption or destruction o.
the kidneys-ths near approach Of which
alarming disorder should awaken the
liveliest concern, for IL soon hurries one
into the grave unless promptly checked.
Disordered kidneys have the unfortunate
effect also of weakening the vigor of tho
liver. as indicated il 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 -color9o
evacuations, constipation, piles, variable
appetite and feelings, dizziness, blurred
eyesight, liver-cough, ague, chills, fevors,
wakefuiness 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 asccrtaining il
he is suffering from disorders Of these
great organs.
These observations have been called
forth by double column article which ap-

in, and al other times by the same persons.
we have oeen 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 or
more people than opidemics; physicians
report death 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
knowledge, or from the trustworthy expe-
rience Of other competent judges, we be-
lievc tnere is no preparation equal to the
remeCy that is so prominently mentioned
elsew 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 its 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 this time when, threatened
by fearful epidemic, it is of the highest
Importance, according to DIR. Koch the
celebrated German cholera specialist that
we keep the kidneys, liver and digestive
organs in healthy action, if the scourge
would be escaped.
