"Bgight's Disease" also called by the
medical pIOsession Albanlnuna, =
caused by congestion OF the kidneys.
Tie name "Brghts Disease came -
be applied 70 this affection OF the
kidneys because DE. Brignt Was the nrsE
medical writer WHO gave thIs particular
GerAngeIneat such accurate descsptOn
as 70 distinguish i from al other IL
sesse OF the kidneys.
Brght's Disease may be either acute
or carOulc. The acute form produces
symptoms OF such promlnence that the
serious nature OF the disease e at once
suspected, bat the chronic variety may
come on 50 gradually aud nslduousiy
that rs presence Is not suspected until
after Il has fastened Itself thoroughly
upon It's victim.
The eongested state of the kidneys set
up BY TINS disease IS 50 severe as TO
prevent them from doing uheIr very ia
pOrtAnt work IN the system. First, the
kidneys allow the serum of the blood 10
escape through them and pass out with
the urine. This sets up at once a very
system. The serum of the blood being
the nutritious part of this vital fund !,
IT'S escape through the kidneys Is soon
followed by the most disastrous con-
sequences. Second, the kidneys, when
affected by ''Bnghts Disease" do not
extract from the blood, as they should,
a poison known as urea. The con-
sequence is that tins poison is allowed

SYMPTOMS.
The symptoms may make themselves
felt SO gradually as to escape notice
for a long time, or manifest themselves
suddenly and produce at once alarm.
There IL, first, pain in the back and
Ions, at first slight, and occasionally
afterwards becoming Z steady, dull,
heavy pain. There is more or less fe-
yer ana restlessness, according TO the
severity of the attack. Also, among
the early symptoms there is some dis
turbance of the organs of the abdomen,
especially the stomach. Flashes of
hest, loss of appetite and hectic fever
are noticeable in the first stage of the
disease.
If nothing is done TO check this dread
disease fuiiness in the loins, puftiness
of tho face, especially under the eyes,
and swelling of the feet, making it diff
ficult to pull on the shoes in the morn
ing, will soon make their appearance.
In the latter stages OF the disease gen.
ersl dropsy or convulsions, or both,
Will set IN.
Bloody urine is present in a great
many cases, especially IN the early
stages of the disease. The presence of
the blood serum Tor albumen) In the
urine is nearly an nfallible sign of
"Bright's Disease of the kidneys.
This can be easily discovered by any
one. Add to a small quantity of the
urine few drops of vinegar or other
acid and boil the urine slightly for a
putting the urine IN q vile and holding
it carefully over lamp. Ii there is
albumen IN the urine after boiling il
Will show itself by thick, white sedi-
ment, which will either settle to the
bottom of the bottle or float in it.
When albumen is fonnd in the urine it
is positive proof of Bright's Disease,
but if il is not found it is not safe TO
assume that the disease Is not present,
for many cases die OF it who have no
more symptoms at all.
CAUSES.
Exposure to wet and cold, intemper-
ate use of alcoholic liquors, scarlet
fever, running sores on any portion Of
the body, private diseases and preg-
nancy.
FATALITY.
With the ordinary modes of treat
ment "Bnght's Disease" is very fatal
the great majority die; but with the
treatment about TO be described, If be-
gun IN the first stage, very few, If any,
failures are known.
At the appearance of the first symp-
tom Pe-ru.na should be taken IN table
spoonful doses SIX times each day, or,
If more convenient, two tablespoonfuls
three times each day before each meal.
This remedy strikes at once at the very
root of the disease. II ct once relieves
the congested kidneys of their stagnsnt
blood, preventing the escape of serum
from the blood. Pe-ru-na stimulates
the kidneys to excrete from the blood
the accumulating poison, and thus pre-
vent the convulsions which are sure 70
follow if the poisons are allowed TO re-
main. Itglves great vlgor TO the hearts
action and digestive system, both of
which are apt to fail rapidly IN THIS dis
ease.
Pe-ru-na is just as reliable III cases of
chronic "Bright's Disease" as in the
acute. No matter how long 1t has run,
or to what extremity the patent may
be red duced, there is always hope in Pc
Tu-na. II is never-falllng remedy %

who are recovering from scarlet fever If
it ls given before the symptoms begin.
No one should neglect 20 take
