FOUR ACTS PLAYED!
Sad Report About Ex-President Ar.

VIII the Fifth and Final Act be a
Tragedy.


Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
'.Dr Lincoln who was at the funeral"
"of ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen, says"
"ex-Presdent Arthur looked very I'M"
"well. He is suffering from Bright's"
disease. During the past year it has"
assumed very aggravated form"
That telegram is act w. of a
drama written by ex-President A,thur'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 a tired
nan, worn down, walking the sands
1T Old Point Comfort and looking east
ward over the Atlantic toward Europe
or longer rest
The curtain rolls up for Act III. upon
The distinguished actor affected with
melancholy from Bright's disease, while
Act w. discovers him with the disease
sin an aggravated form, suffering in
;ensely (Which is Unusually, and about
20 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
;hree acts with no conception of what
heir character will develop in the final
,ne.
They have not the discernment for
racing in the early, what the latter i'm
presentations will be. Not one physi-
,ian in a hundred has the adequate
microscopic and chemical appliances
lor discovering Bright's disease in its
.arly stages, and when many do finally
comprehend that their patients are dy-
NC with it, when death occurs, they
will, to cover up their ignorance of it,
pronounce the fatality to have been
caused by ordinary ailments, whereas
;hese ailments are really results of
Bright's disease of which they are un-
conscious victims.
Beyond any doubt so per cent of all
deaths except from epidemics and acct
dents, result from diseased kidneys or
ivers. If the dying be distinguished
and his friends too intelligent to be
Easily deceived, his physicians perhaps
pronounce the complaint to be peri
,arditis, py@mia, septic@mia, bronchi-
lis, pleuritis, valvular LESSONS of the
heart, pneumonia, etc. If the deceased
De 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
gathers them in! While it prevails
among persons of sedentary habits
lawyers. clergymen, congressmen-it
also plays great havoc among farmers,
day laborers and mechanics, though
they do not suspect it, because their
physicians Keep it from them, if indeed
they are able to detect it.
1t sweeps thousands of women and
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 4
not know how?
No, nature has not been remiss. In
dependent research has given an infalli-
Bile 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 health of
those who have been invalids for years.
The new saying of show common
bright's disease is becoming among
prominent menu 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 specialists of |
this disease. But the common run"
of physicians, not detecting it, give the
patient Epson salts or other drugs pre-
scribed by the old code of treatment |
under which their grandfathers and |
great-grandfathers practiced!
Anon, we hear that the patient is
comfortable. But ere long, maybe,
they "tap" him and take some water |
from him and again the comfortable"
story is told. Torture him rather than I
allow him to use Warmers safe cure!
With such variations the doctors play
upon the unfortunate until his shroud is
made, when we learn that he died from
heart disease, pyamia. septic@mia or
some other deceptive though "dignifed
Ex-president Arthur's case is not sin
gular-it is typical of every such case.
"He is suffering intensely" This is
not usual. Generally there is almost
no suffering. He may recover, if he
v i'll 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
of thousands. 1t is an unfor-
innate fact that physicians will not adj
nit there is any virtue outside their
,wn sphere, but as each school denies
yirtue to all others, the people act on
heir own Judgment and accept things
~ the record of merit they make.
The facts are cause for alarm, but
here is abundant hope in prompt and
action.
