"Dr. Lincoln, who was at the funeral Off
"ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen, Gays ex-"
president Arthur looked very unwell."
"Heis suffering from Brights disease"
"During the past year 1t has assumed q"
"very aggravated form"
That telegram Is Act ~. Of Q drama
written by ex-President Arthur's physi-
cians. In Act |. 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 at Old
Point Comfort and looking eastward over
the Atlantic toward Europe for q longer
rest.
The curtain rolls up for Act III. upon

dramas by play-wrights OF the medical
profeSsion. They write the first two or
three s,ts with no conception OF what their
character will develop In the final one.
They have not the discernment for trac-
ing in the early what the latter imperson-
atoms will be. Not one ply ysician In a
hundred has the adequate microscopic and
bright's disease In Its early 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. ailments,
whereas these ailments are really results
Of bright's disease Of which they are un-
conscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, 30 per cent. Of all
deaths except from epidemics and acci-
dents, result from diseased kidneys or
| livers. II the dying be distinguished and
his friends too intelligent to be easily de-
ceived, his physicians perhaps pronounce
the complaint to be pericarditis, py@mia,
| septicemia, bronchitis, pleuritis, valvular
LESSONS OF the heart, pneumonia, etc. IL
the deceased be less noted, "malaria" is
now the fashionable assignment Of the
\ cause of death.
But all the same, named right or named
wrong, this fearful scourge gathers them
| in While it prevails among persons of
sedentary habits,-lawyers, clergymen,
congressman, also plays great havoc
among farmers, day laborers and mechan-
les, though they do not suspect II, because
their physicians keep IL from them, IL In
| decd they are able to detect it. afi.g
1t sweeps thousands of women and chill
dren into untimely graves every year. The
health gives way gradually, the strength
is variable, the appetite nckle, the vigor
gets less and less. This isn't malaria-it
Is the beginning of kidney disease and will
end-who does not know howy
No, nature has not been remiss. Inde-
pendent research has given an fnfallible
remedy for this common disorder; but of
course the bigoted physician will not use
Warmers safe cure, because tits private
affair and cuts up their practice by restor-
ing the health of those who have been in
valids for years. 3' ..t
The new saying of show common bright's :
| disease is becoming among prominent
men l" Is getting old, and as the English
man would say, sounds s'stupid" "-espec-
tally "stupid" since this disease Is readily
detected by the more learned mon and spe-
cialists of this disease. But the common
run of physicians, not detecting 1t, give
the patient EPSON salts or other drugs pre-
scribed by the old code of treatment under
which their grandfathers and great-grand.
| fathers practicedl
Anon, we hear that the patient 10 ''com-
Portable" But ere long, maybe, they tap
him and take some water from him and
ture him rather than allow him to use
Warmers safe curel With such variations
the doctors play upon the unfortunate
until his shroud Il made, when we learn
that he died from heart disease, py@mia,
septic@mia or some other deceptive though
'dignified cause" 49, 81
| Ex.President Arthur's ease is not singu-
lar--it is typical of every such case. "He
is suffering intensely" This is not usual.
Generally there is almost no suffering
He may recover, II he will act independ-
emily of his physicians. The agency
named has cured thousands OF persons even
in the extreme stages-is to-day the main
stay of tho health of hundreds OF thou
sands. 1t is an unfortunate fact that ply
sicians will not admit there 10 any vir'
tue outside Of their own sphere, but ai
each school denies virtue to all others, the
people act on their own judgment and ac'
cept things by the record Of merit they
| make.
The facts are cause for alarm, but there
Is abundant hope in prompt and independ'
ent action.
