The above chapters, Mr.. Editor,
find in book recently published by
an anonymous author. l have read
a deal of sarcasm in my day but
never read anything equal to the sar-
casm herein contained. l Suspect the
experience portrayed is a personal
one; in short, the author intimates
as much on page 81. Let me give
you synopsis:
Malaria" as it states, is the cloak
with which superficial physicians
cover up multitude of i'll feelings
which they do not understand, and
do not much care to investigate. 1t
is also cover for such diseases as
they cannot cure. When they advise
their patient to travel or that he has
overwOrked and needs rest and is
probably suffering from malaria, it is
a confession of ignorance or of ina
bility. The patient goes abroad.
The change is tonic and for time
he feels better. Comes home. Tickle
appetite, frequent headaches, severe
colds, cramps, sleeplessness, irrata-
bility, tired feelings, and general I'M
fitness for business are succeeded in
due time by alarming attacks of rheu-
matism which fits about his body re-
CARELESS of all human feelings.
1t is muscular,-in his back. Ar
ticular,-in his joints. Infiammatory,
my! how he fears it will fly to his
heart! Now off he goes to thesprings.
The doctor sends him there, of course,
to get well at the same time he does
not really want him to die on his
hands!
That would hurt his business!
Better for a few days. Returns.
After a while neuralgia transfixes
him. He bloats; cannot breathe;
has pneumonia cannot walk cannot
sleep on his left side; is fretful very
nervous and irritable; is pale and
tlabby; everything about him seems
to go wrong becomes suspicious,
musters up strength and demands to
know what is killing him!
"Great heaven ~ he cries, "why
have you kept me so long in igno-
rance"
Because" said the doctor, 81 read
your fate five years ago. | thought
best to keep you comfortable and ig-
, norant of the facts"
He dismisses his doctor, but too
late! His fortune has all gone to
fees
But him, what becomes Of him?
The other day a well known Wall
street banker said to me, sit is really
astonishing how common bright's
disease is becoming. Two of my
l personal friends are now dying of it.
But it is not incurable, / am certain,

when physicians said recovery was
impossible. The case seems to me to
be wonderful one" This gentle

that preparation, because his nephew

was begun. eyes," said his father,

Iregret to note that ex-President
Arthur is said to be a victim of this
" terrible disease. He ought to live,

Drexel, Morgan & Co.'S, told me he
regarded as a wonderful remedy"
Well, suspect the hero Of the book

strongly to this conclusion.
S cannot close my notice of this
