Tragedy.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
"Dr. Lincoln who was at the funer-
Of ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen, says
ex-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 ". OF a
drama written by ex.President
Arthur's physicians. In Act /. he
was made to appear In Malaria" Of
which all the country was told when
he went to Florida.
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 O longer rest.
The curtain rolls up for Act III.
upon the distinguished actor affect
ed with melancholy from bright's
disease, while Act " discovers him
with the disease "in an aggravated
form, suffering intensely, (Which is
unusuaD and about to take q 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 con-
ception Of what their character will
develop In the final one.
They have not the discernment
for tracing In the early, what the
latter impersonations will be. Not
one physician In hundred has the
adequate microscopic and chemical
appliances for discovering bright's
disease In its carly stages, and when
many do finally comprehend that
their patients are dying with 1t, when
death occurs, they will, to cover up
their ignorance OF It, pronounce the
fatality to have been caused by
ordinary ailmcnts, whereas these
ailments are really results OF bright's
disease Of which they are unconsci-
GUS victims.
Beyond any doubt, so per cent. Of
all deaths except from epideInics and
accidents, result from diseased kid
neys or livers. II the dying be dis
tinguished and his friends too INTEL
igent to be easily deceived, his ply
sicians perhaps pronounce the com
plant to be pericarditis, py@mia,
septicHmia, bronchitis, plenritis,
velvular LESSONS Of the heart, pneu-
monia, etc. II the deceased be less
noted, malaria" Is now the fashion
able assignment 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 habit
lawyers, clergymen, congressman
1t also plays great havoc among
farmers, day laborers and mechan-
les, though they do not suspect it,
because their physicians keep it
from them, II indeed they are able
to detect it.
It sweeps thousand Of women and
children into untimely graves every
year. The health gives way grad
ually, 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
win end-who does not know how?
No, nature has not been remiss.
Independent research has given an
infallible remedy for this common
disorder; but OF course the bigoted
physicians will not use Warmers safe
cure, because 1t Is private affair
and cuts up their practice by re-
storing the health OF those who have
been invalids for years.
Tho new saying 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 spec
ialists Of this disease. But the "com-
mon run" of physicians, not detect
ing 1t, give the patient EPSON salts
or other drugs prescribed by the old
code Of Treatment under which their
Rrandfathers and great-grandfathcrs
practiced!
Anon, we hear that the patient is
comfortable" But ere long. may
be, they tap" him and take some
water from him and again the ''cOm-
Portable" story is told. Torture him
rather than allow to use Warmers
safe curel With such variations the
doctors play upon the unfortunate
until his shroud is made, when We
learn that he died from heart dis
ease, pyRmia, septic9mia or some
other deceptive though "dignified
cause"
Elk President Arthur's case is not
singular-it is typical Of every such
case. He is suffering intensely"
This Is not usual. Generally there
is almost no suffering. He may re-
cover. IL he will act Independently
Of his physicians. 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 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 net
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 independent action.
A Rule that is not Reversible.
