4 Hard Fight
The Story of a Failure.

The writer was called to the phone by ap rominent attorney of San Fran cisco, who said that friend of his was dying of Bright's disease and that if we could do anything to send the treatment and a physician Both swere sent. The doctor phoned back that the patient was at the end of a years fight with chronic Bright's dis ease and was almost skeleton, and was in coma, and that the priests had administered the last rites, and that the attending physicians had told the patients wife that h was only ques- tlon of hours and he declared with considerable spirit that he had prac- tically been called into sign the death certificate. The patient, San Fran cisco business man, waB in charge of the nurses. They said that nothing had passed into or out of the pa- tient's stomach for twenty-four hours, that it had ceased to act--would not hold peptonized milk--anj that they were waiting for the end. Our con suhing physician did not think there was one chance in thousand, but started a hard fight for that chance. Jumping into carriage he went to Wakelee & Cos. procured a high twenty-inch tube and the necessary adjuncts and returned for an all nights fight to keep the patient alive. After four hours with emulsions through the high tube the impacted feces were removed and, as the stom- ach had almost ceased finctioning, the patient was fed and given both treatment and food per rectum. The food and treatment were administered and withdrawn every three hours. He was given no food by the stomach for ten days. except a little champagne and cracked ice. The second day he began to move little. The fourth day he was beginning to clear men, tally. In two weeks his stomach be- gan to accept chicken and solid food. In month he was walking around the room, and in two months (con- trary to the strenuous advice of the physician) he insiste don taking southern trip. He was not as strong as he thought and suffered relapse. The physician was telegraphed for and went south to attend and bring him home, but the trip and consequent relapse was so serious that the patient expired on arrival in San Francisco.
 This was a battle against trenend- ous odds and it is our belief that 1t would have been won if the patient had followed the physicians advice and given up the trip until he was stronger.
 The attorney mentioned who called us up by phone was the Hon. Barclay Henley, ex-member of congress and we'll known lawyer of San Francisco. His offices are in the Pacific building on Market street and he will doubt less confirm these facts to anyone who may be interested. We refer to this instance and his name in COR nection herewith without his consent. We could hardly afford to do this if the above was not strictly true.
 We consider the treatment that this physician used in this case to aid the Renal Compound as so important that it was at our request written up in detail giving the various prescriptions and formulae. We will mail it to phy- sicans who may have critical cases like the above.
