"Dr. Lincoln who was at the fu y

 ssed very unwell. He is suffering"
 from Brights disease. During"
 ''the past year it has assumed a'
 ''very aggravated form" That telegram is act ". of dra.
 ma written by ex President Arthur's
 physicians. In act I. 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 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 Gin an aggravated
 form, suffering intensely. (which is
 unusual) and about to take sea voyage"
 Just such as this is the plot of
 many dramas by play wrights O. 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 early stages, and when many do comprehend that their pa. tients are dying with it, when death occurs, they will, to cover up their ignorance of 1t, pronounce the fatali- ty to have been caused by ordinary ailments, whereas these ailments are really results of brlght's disease of which they are unconscious victims.
 Beyond any doubt, 80 per cent. of all deaths except from epdemlcs and accidents, result from diseased kidneys and flyers. If the dying be distinguished and his friends too intelligent 10 be easily deceived, his physicians perhaps pronounce the complaint to be pericarditis, pyma mia, septicemia, broncitis, pleuritis, valvular lesIons of the heart, pneu- | monia, etc. If the deceased be less noted, malaria" is now the fash Ionable assignment of the cause of death.
 But all the same, named right or named wrong, this fearful scourge 1 gathers them in! While it prevails among persons of seuentary habits lawyers, clergymen, congressman, - 1t also plays great havoc among farmers, day laborers and mechan- ics, though they do not suspect it, because their physicians keep it from them, if indeed they are able to detect it.
 It sweeps thousands of women and 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 Lhe beginning of kidney disease and will end-who does not know how?
 No, nature has been remiss. In dependent research has given an in- Tallible remedy for thls common dis order; but of course the bigoted phy- siclans will not use Warmers safe cure, because it is private affair and cuts up their practice by restor- Ing the health of those who have been invalids for years.
 The new saying of 'how common bright's disease is becoming among prominent menm is getting old. and IS the Englishman would say, sounds 'stupid"--especIally stupid" since his disease is readily detected by .he more learned men and special sts of this disease. But the "com non run," of physicians, not detect. ng i;, give the patient Epson salts pr other drugs prescribed by the )ld code of treatment under winch heir grandfather and great grand 'athers practicedi
 Anon, we hear that tue patient Is comfortable" But ere long. may De, they "tap" him and take some water from him and again the "com. 'ortable' story is told. Torture him 'ather than allow him 10 use War ler's safe cure, With such yaria. ions the doctors play upon the un- fortunate until hls shroud is made. when we learn that he died from ieart disease, pyemia, septlcemia 'r some other deceptive though dig lifed cause"
 Ex President Arthur's case is not is typical of every such ;ase. "lie is suffering intensely" This is not usual. Generally there $ almost no suffering. He may re ,oyer, if he will act independently of his physicians. The agency named has cured thousands of per sons even in the extreme stages-is .o-day the mainstay of the health of of thousands. It is an un. 'ortunate fact that physicians will not admit there is any virtue outside heir own spho but as each school lenies virtue to all others, the peo- Dle act on their own judgement and ,ona,,f tl.to,.c .,, tI,o ,.a..<....l l
