CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY w. A. MACY.
THE DIscOVERER OF
BRIGHT'S DISEASE.

II Is not often that a man sue
eeeds In giving his name to a
disease, as did DR.. Richard
Bright. He was not a great man,
nor a great physician; yet his
career Is an Illustration Of what
may be accomplished by persIs-
tenee and hard work. He was
born In Bristol, England, In 1888.
After graduating In medicine he
set up practice In London. He
was very studlous, and made a
thorough study Of the kidneys,
collecting and recording an I'm
mense amount of information re-
latlnS thereto. He visited many
hospitals on the continent, al
ways observing and noting. Aft
err the battle of Waterloo he as
sisted In caring for the wounded
In the hospitals Of Brussels. He
was the first to point out the ma
ture Of the disease Of the KID
neys, then little understood. from
which so many people were dy-
Ing every year. He devoted so
much time to the subject, and
studied the disease so carefully
and infinitely, that II came to be
called BY his name. His success
was due to his diligence and to
his powers Of observation. AS a
brother physician said, bright
could not theorIze, but he could
see."
