,,- readers have often asked siWhat is ofight's disease of the Kidneys about which we hear so much" To answer their question we have secured the IolIoW- ing explanatory article, written by conpe- tent authority:
 One of the worst physical scourges of the world to-day-notably in Englandi 6er- many, America and Australia-is Kidney Disease. An alarmingly large proportion oi the population of the countries named IS afflicted with it. in one form or another.
 The symptoms of Bright's Disease (whlch Is but an advanced form of Kidney Diseasc1 differ in different individuals, but generally the patient presents habby, bloodless look' Is drowsy and easily fatigued, has pain Ill the back, vomiting and febrile disturbance Dropsy varying in degree from slight pnlh- ness of the face to an accumulation of the fluid sufficient to distend the whole body and to occasion serious embarrassment to respiration, is very common accompanl- ment. The urine is reduced in quantity, IS often of dark, smoky or bloody color, and exhibits to chemical reaction the presence of large amount of albumen, while under the microscope blood corpuscles and casts are found Very often dmness of vision, due to morbid condition of the retina Of the eye, and also hypertrophy of the heart, lead ing to fatal apoplexy, are accompaniments ot the disease.
 There are several forms of the malady but their common prominent characteristic is the presence of albumen in the urine, and frequently also the co-existence of dropsy. These associated symptoms, in connection with Kidney Disease were first descrlbedin Tn 1927 by Dr. Richard Bright, an English physician, who first investigated them. Sometimes there is a degeneration of the tissues of the kidneys into fat, thus impair ing the excrcting powers of the organ so that the urea is not sufficiently separated from the blood. The flow of the blood, when charged with this urea, is retarded through the minute vessels, congestion en- sues, and emulation of albumen and tbrln is the result. The disease is often accom- panied by eruptions on the skin, as bolls, etc, and is frequently associated with en- largemen of the heart.
 The causes of this terrible malady are, in- diligence in too much ice-water as a bever- age strong drink, high living, indigestion, exposure to wet and cold, various kinds of | levers, malaria, pregnancy, and other bod | ilv derang gemcnts, such as a complication of certain acute diseases, like erysipeas, diph- theria, and especially scarlet fever(o ofwhich
 
 after effects), diseases of bones and other | scrofuous affections. The kidneys being the most important excretory organs of the body, their Arrangement may speedily de- | stroy life.
 Common-sense treatment of Kidney Dis | ease of the character referred to necessa- rily involves removal of the causes, rectifl- cation of other secretions and increase in the number of blood-red corpuscles, by the administration of Warmers Safe Cure. It is a specific even in the advanced stages, when the blood has poisoned the nerve cen ters, restoring the secretion of healthy | fluids and relieving the congestion of the brain. It speedily arrests the inhammato- ry action, which is marked by an increased amount of urine The albumen gradually disappears, the dropsy subsidies and the pa tient recovers. There is no standstill in advanced Kidney Disease; those who are afflicted with 1t are either constantly grow ing betteror worse How important there fore, that this terrible disease be taken ill hand in time and treated with known specific.
