SAD REPORT ABOUT EX-PRESI-
DENT ARTHUR.
VIII the Fifth and Final Act ne .
Tragedy

DIR. Lincoln, who was at the funeral
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 a
very aggravated form. -#.F g..
That telegram is Act ". of a drama
written by ex-President Arthur's ply
sicians. In Act l. he was made to APP
pear in Malaria" of which all the
country was told when he went to
Florida. .- ..1
In Act III. 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 affected with
melancholy from Bright's disease,
while Act ~. discovers him with the
disease in an aggravated form, suffer
ing intensely (Which is Unusually, and
about to take a 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 conception of what
their character will develop in the final
one.
They have not the discernment for
tracing in the early, what the latter i'm
presentations will be. Not one physi.
clan in hundred has the adequate mi
croscopic and chemical appliances for
discovering Bright's disease in its early
stages, and when many do finally COM
prehend that their patients are dying
with it, when death occurs, they will,
to cover up their ignorance, pronounce
the fatality to have been caused by Or
binary ailments, whereas these ailments
are really results of Bright's disease, OF
which they are unconscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, eighty per cent.
OF all deaths, except from epidemics
and accidents, result from diseased
kidneys or livers. II the dying be dis
tinguished, and his friends too intelligent
to be easily deceived, his physicians
perhaps pronounce the complaint to be
pericarditis, pyamia, septicamia, bron-
chitis, pleuritis, valvular LESSONS of the

fashionable assignment of the cause of
death.
But all the same, named right or
named wrong, this fearful scourge gath
ers them in! While it prevails among
persons of sedentary habits-llwyers,
clergymen, congressmen-it also plays
great havoc among farmers. day labor
ers, and mechanics, though they do not
suspect it, because their physicians keep
it from them, If indeed they are able to
detect it.

children into untimely graves every
year. The health gives way gradually,
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 will end-who does
not know how2
No, nature has not been amiis. In
dependent research has given al infal-
lible remedy for this common disorder;
but of course the bigoted physicians
will not use Warmers Safe Cure, be-
cause it is a private affair, and cuts up
their practice by restoring the heath of
those who have been invalids for years.

Ex-Presidert Arthur's case is not
singular-it is typical of every such
case. "He is suffering intensely"
This is not usual. Generally there 10
almost no suffering. He. may recover,
if 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.
Il is an unfortunate fact that physicians
will not admit there is any virtue out
side their own sphere, but as each school
denies virtue to all others, the people
act 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 Rochester Demo
