Apropos of the sudden death OF Gen
Geo. B. Mcclellan, we note that tn
New York Sun, points out the singu
lar fact that Governor Dewitt Clinton
Governor Silas Wright, Governor VII
liam l.. Marcy. Governor and Chic
Justice Sanford E. Church, and Cover
nor II. E. Fenton, all of New YOrl
Stale, dropped dead Of heart disease, and
,slder quite identical circ,mstances-edci

poemsl
Hold your hand against the ribs on
your left side, front,-the regular,
steady beating of the great "force
pump of the system, run by an un-
known and mysterious Engineer, is aw-
full In its impressiveness
Few persons like to count their own
pulse beats, and fewer persons still en-
Joy marking the thub-thub" of their
own heart.
What u it should skip a beat"
As a matter of fact the heart is the
least susceptible to primary disease of
any of our vital organs. IL is, how
ever, very much injured by certain
ong-contlnued congestions of the vital
organs, like the kidneys, liver and
stomach. Moreover, blood filled with
uric acid produces a rheumatic tenden-
cy, and is very injurious to healthful
heart action,-it often proves fatal, and
of course, the uric acid comes from i'm
paired kidney action,
Roberts, the great English authority,
SAYS that heaIt disease is chiefly Sec
ondary to some more fatal malady in
the blood or other vital organs. That
is. it is not the original source of the
fatal malady.
The work of the heart is to force
blood into every part of the system. If
the organs are sound it is an easy
task, If they are at all diseased, it is a
very, very hard task. Take as an Illus
tration: The kidneys are very subject
TO congestion and yet, being deficient
in the nerves of sensation, this conges-
ted condition is not indicated by pain.
1t may exist for years, unknown even
to physicians, and if 1t does not result
in complete destruction Of the kidneys,
the extra work which Is forced upon
the heart weakens it every year, and-a
mysterious" sudden death claims an
other victiml
This is the true history of "heart dis
ease, 80 called, which in reality is
chiefly secondary effect of Bright's
disease of the kidneys, and indicates
the universal need of that renowned
specific Warmers safe cure.
B. T. Larrabee, ESD, of Boston, who
was by it so wonderfully cured OF
disease, in 1879, says that with
its disappearance went the distressing
heart disorder, which he then discover
ed was only secondary to the renal
trouble.
There is a general impression that
the medical profession is not at fault If
it frankly admits that heart disease IS
the cause of death. In other words,
a cure of heart disease is not expected
Of them!
There may be no help for a broken
down, worn out, apoplectic heart. but
there is help for the kidney disorder
which in most cases is responsible for
Inc heart trouble, and if its use put
money and fame into the treasury of
The profession instead of into the hands
Of an independent investigator, every
