Doetoring in the Dark.
No sensible surgeon will attempt the
performance of an operation involving
human life in a room secluded from the
proper amount of light. A practitioner
will not attempt the diagnosis of com
plicated disease unless he can see the
sufferer and make an examination upon
which to base his opinion relative to the
course Of treatment necessary to bring
about complete restoration of heath
Notwithstanding the improperly Of
such action there seems to be a great
deal of doctoring done in the dark.
By this it is not intended that lit
eral meaning be inferred, but that a
great many mistakes are committed be-
cause of the darkness which is the re-
suit of ignorance. It needs no illustra-
lions to demonstrate that gross ignOr-
ance has caused many fatal mistakes to
be made IN the treatment OF diseases by
those who profess to be learned IN the
art of healing.
In many diseases several organs are
more or less implicated and what seems
primary ailment may be one quite re-

stomach may be caused by a blow on
the head. The seat of typhoid fever is
in the upper part of the bowels, but most
OF It's worst symptoms are often In the
brain.
Symptoms of disease as we'll as dis
eases themselves are oftentimes follow
ers or concomitants of some unsupported
organic disease and this is peculiarly
true of lung, liver, brain and heart dis
eases in general, for it is now known
that they are the result of kidney dis
ease, which shows its presence in some
such indirect manner.
Several years ago gentleman became
convinced of the truth of this and
through his efforts the world has been
warned of kidney disease and as re-
suit of continued effort specific known
as Warmers Safe Cure was discovered,
the general use of which has shown it to
be of inestimable benefit in all cases
where kidney treatment is desirable or
necessary.
When consumption is threatened see
to it that the condition of the kidneys is
