Five Other Governors
Apropos of the sudden death Of General
George u. McC4 -lIan, we note that the
New York Sun points out the singular
fact that Governor Dewitt Clinton. Gov
ernor Siias Wright, Governor William L.
Marcy, Governor and Chief Justice SSn-
ford e. Church, and Governor r K Fem

As matter of fact the heart is the least
susceptible - primary disease Of any OF
our vital organs. It is, however, very
much injured by certain lony-continued
COMPOSITIONS of the vital organs, like the
kidneys, liver and stomach. Moreover,
blood filled with uric acid produces
rheumatic tendency, and is very injurious
fatal, and, of course, the uric acid comes
from impaired kidney action.
Roberts, the great English authority.

to some more fatal malady in the blood or
other vital organs. That Is, IL IS NOT the
original source Of the fatal malady.
The work of the heart Is to force blood

and yet, being deficient in the nerves OF
sensation, this congested condition Is not
indicated By pain. 1t may exist for years,
unknown even o physicians, and II 1t does
not result in complete destruction OF the

This is the true history of ssheartdisease, N

secondary effect of Bright's diseasoof the
kidneys. and indicates the universal need
of that renowned specific, Warmers sale

b. F. iarrabee, ESQ.,, of Boston, who
was by it so wonderfully curet OF Bright
disease in 1873, says that with its disap'
pea-ance went the distressing heart dis
order, which he then discovered was only
secondary to the renal trouble.
There is general impression that tn
