| Safe kidney Cere.
| THERE is a widespread and serious preva-
| lence of disorders of the kidneys; and of
various diseases caused by the imperfect opera
| ton of the kidneys and liver. According to
| Roberts, Thompson and other recognized
authorities, kidney disorders are very common,
but the obscurity of their positive symptoms
| is SO marked that many people, ill and out
of sorts generally, are really victims of kid
ney complaint and they, and their physician
do not realize it. Rheumatic pains, irregular
appetite, frequent headache, chils and fever,
blues" hot and dry skin, sour stomach,
| dyspepsia, irregular action of the bowels, ner-
vous irritability, muscular soreness, cramps,
| languor, Impairment of memory, loss of
viriIity are among the preliminary evidences
of coming kidney and liver arrangements. As
the disease develops then follow lame back,
swelling ankles, pale face, scalding sensa-
| tions, the water sometimes being very light
| and abundant, at others scarce, derkeolored
and frothy, and Astounding in sediment, and,
| under the microscope, in aibumen and
tube casts If the deranged kidneys are not
promptly attended to there is danger Of the
terrible Bright's Disease-hitherto considered
incurable, which is a consumption or destruc-
ton of the kidneys--the near approach of
which alarming disorder should awaken the
! lyeliest concern, for it soon hurrles one
into the grave unless promptly checked.
| Disordered kidneys have the unfortunate
| effect of weakening the vigor of the liver, as
| indicated if one has, besides the above symp-
| toms, yellow spotted skin, fat covered eye
balls, frontal headache after eating, burning
and itching skin, cold extremities hot head,
bad circulation Of blood, sick headache,
nausea, light col0red excavations, consti-
patton, piles, variable appetite and feel
ings, dizziness, blurred eyesight, liver
cough, ague, chills fevers, wakefulness at
night, drowsiness by day, etc.
| These observations have been called forth
! by doube-column article which appears
in another place in this paper. Skep-
tical of some of the statements made
| therein, and at other times by the
same persons, we have been led to make q little
study of the matter ourselves, with the above re-
suit. These diseases prevail amongst young

fovers, etc, when in reality these disorders
are often secondary to Bright's disease
and would seldom occur were the kidneys in
healthy working condition. From the trust
worthy experience of competent judges, it is
believed there is no preparation equal to the
