The speaker was a ~well-known member of
the Shoe and Leather Exchange, of New
York.
You don't mean to say that the company
has refused to grant you a policyl" ex-
claimed his friend, in evident establishment.
"Yes," was the sad reply, "the medical
examiner has reported against me, and now
my plans for providing for my wife and
children are all destroyed"
The terrible significance of this poor mans
condition can be better realized by referring
to the statement recently made by DR.. Lam
bert, General Medical Director of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Company. In explaiu-
ing why SO many applicants for insurance
are daily rejected, he said:
IVA reject 16 per cent. of the applications
made to US for life insurance, and l have
saved the entire expense of this medical de-
pertinent by the rejection alone of applicants
who have diseased kidneys, and who died
within two years after l rejected them.
The startling Importance of these words
cannot be too widely proclaimed. The fact
| that such an awful condition exists i'll this
land should arouse thoughtful men and
women to a sense of the great danger that
threatens them. Such cases can be found on
every hand.
Mr.. Edison L. Weston, a well known resi-
dent of Port Henry, N. Y, recently said:
"Some years ago l suffered from pains in
my back and throughout my body, but
thought it nothing serious, until about that
time | desired to obtain a life insurance
| policy, and of course had to undergo a medi-
cal examination. My application was
promptly rejected by the doctor who pro
nounced it a badly developed kidney dis
saese.' My case was considered dangerous,
and l at once looked around for the best
cure. I decided what that was, and began
taking it, and | am pleased to say l am today
a well man, and the doctors say SO, too, for
since then, without any trouble l have taken
out a life insurance policy. The medical
| examiner pronounced me sound as a trout,
and I owe it all to the remarkable power and
efficiency of Warmers Safe Cure, which re-
stored me to health and enabled me to pass
! a perfect medical examination"
These facts show the insidious nature of
kidney or Brights disease. It has often no
symptoms of its own, but, unfortunately. the
symptoms of almost every known disease
The victim of Pright's disease goes along
unususpeeting until in many cases it is too
late! The case of the eminent professor who
was l~ecturing to his class and showed them
the analysis of Bright's disease urine, and
also thai in a condition of health, is in point.
He suddenly paled, trembled. and said:
Gentlemen, have made a painful discov-
ery-I, myself am a victim of Bright's dis
sease," and in less than a year he was dead.
The lesson which should come to all is that
the greatest care and attention are necessary
to preserve these great and vi delicate or
| cams of the body. Both men and women are
victims of the dread disease, and they alone
are wise who realize the fact and act in time.
