Sad Report About Ex-Prssidsnt Ar.
thur.-Win the Fifth and Final Act
be q Tragedy?
Rochester Democrat and Chroniele.l
CDR. Lincoln, who was at the funeral
"of ex-SecretaIy Frelinghuysen, says
lex President Arthur looked very
"unwell. He is suffering from Bright's
"disease. During the past year it has
assumed very aggravated form"
That telegram is act Nv. of drama
written by ex President Arthur's Physi-
clans. In Act l. he was made to appear
in Malaria" of which all the country
was told when he went to Florida.
In Act III. he represented q tired
man, worn down, walking the sands ut
Old Point Comfort and looking east
ward over the Atlantic toward Europe
for longer rest.
The curtain rolls up for Act I'LL upon
the distinguished actor affected with
melancholy from bright's disease,
while Act ~. discovers him with the
disease "in an aggravated form, suffer-
ing intensely, (which is Unusually and
about to take 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
representations will be. Not one physi-
clan In a 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 il, when death occurs, they
will, to cover up their ignorance of il,
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
accidents, result from diseased kidneys
or livers. Ifthe dying be distinguished
and his friends too intelligent to be
easily deceived, his physician perhaps
pronounce the complaint to be pericar-
ditis Ply @mia, septicemia, bronchitis,
valyular LESSONS Of the heart, pneumo-
mia, etc. II the deceased be less noted,
"malaria" Is now the fashionable as
signment of the cause of death.
But all the same, named right or
named wrong. this fearful scourge
gathers them IN! While 1t prevails
among persons Of sedentary habits
lawyers, elergymen, congressmen,-n
also plays great havoc among farmers,
day laborers and mechanics, though
they do not suspect it, because their
physicians keep 1t from them, IL 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 diseases and will end-who does
not know how?
No, nature has not been remiss. In
dependent research has given an infaI-
lible remedy for this common disorder
hut of course the bigoted physicians
will not use Warmers safe cure, because
1t Is private affair and cuts up their
practice by restoring the health Of
those who have been invalids for years.
The new saying show common
bright's disease is becoming among
prominent men J" 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 rum Of
not detecting 1t, give the
patient Epson salts or other drugs
prescribed by the old code of treatment
under which their grandfathers and
great grandfathers practiced
Anon, we hear that the patient is
comfortable" But ere long, maybe,
they "tap" him and take some water
rom 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
lpon the unfortunate until his shroud
8 made, when we learn that he died (
rom heart disease, py@mia, septic@mia
" some other deceptive though "dig-
,ified cause"
Elk President Arthur's case is not !
ingular-it is typical of every such +,
ase. "He is suffering intensely"
This is not usual. Generally there Is
Utmost no suffering He may recover,
he will act independently of his
physicians. The agency named has 4
ured thousands Of persons even in the
xtreme stages-is to day the mainstsy I
Il the health of hundreds of thousands. L
{ Is an unfortunate fact that physicians @
will not admit there is any virtue out
ide their own sphere, but rs each school
|enies virtue to all Others, the people Y
ct on their own judgment and accept
hings by the record Of merit they
make. :
The facts are cause for alarm, but q
here is abundant hope in prompt and 4
Independent action.
