"Dr. Lincoln who was at Uio fancr-"
"al of oxSccrotaty FrelinghayBcn,"
"ay cx-Prusldent Arthur looked very"
"unwell. Ho ii Buffering from Bright s"
"diacaso. During the pant year it"
"has assumed a very aggravated''
"form."
That telegram is act IV, of the dra
ma written by ux-Froaident Arthur's
physician:. In Act I. ho was made to
appear in "Malaria," of which all the
country was told when he went to
Florida.
In Act II. he represented a tired man)
worn down, walking tho sands at Old
l'oint Comfort and looking eastward
over Iho Atlantic towtrd Knropo for a
longer rest.
Tho curtain rolls up for Act III.
upon the distinguished actor affected
with melancholy from bright's disease,
whilo Act IV discovers him with tho
diseaso "in an aggravated form, suf
fering intensely, (which is unusual) and
about to take a sea voyage."
Just such as this is tho plot oi many
dramas by play-wrights of the medical
profession. They writo tho first two
or three acts with no conception of
what their character will dovolop in tho
final one.
Thoy havo not tho discernment for
tracing in tho early, what tho latter
impersonations will be. Not ono phy
sician in a hundred has tho adequate
microscopic and chemical appliances
for discovering bright's disease in its
oirly stages, and when many do finally
comprehend that their patients are dy
ing with it, when death occurs, thoy
will, to cover up thoir ignorance of it,
pronounoe tho fatality to havo been
caused by ordinary ailments, whereas
these ailments aro really results of
bright's diseaso of which they are un
conscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, 80 per cent, of
all deaths except from epidemics and
accidents, result from diseased kidneys
or livers. If the dying bo distinguish
ed and his friends too intelligent to bo
easily deceived, his physicians perhaps
pronounce the complaint to bo pericar
ditis, pyremis, septicemia, bronchitis,
pleuritis, valvular lesions of tho heart,
pneumonia, etc. If the deceased bo
less noted, "malaria" is now the fash
ionable assignment of tho causo of
death.
But all the same, named right or
named wrong, this fearful scourge
cathers them in 1 While it prevails
IM1
among persons of sedentary habits,
lawyers, clercymon, congressmen, it
also plays great havoo among farmers,
day laborers and mechanics, though
they do not suspect it, because their
physicians keep it from them, if indeed
they are able to detect it.
It sweeps thousands of women and
children into untimely craves every
year. The health gives way gradually,
thestrencth is variable, the appetite
fickle, the, vigor gets less and less. This
isn't malaria it is tho beginning of
kidney diseaso and will end who does
not know now T
No, nature has not been remiss. In
dependent research has (riven an in
fallible remedy-for this common disor
der ; but of course the bigoted physi
cians will not use Warner's safo cure,.
because it is a private affair and cuts
up their practice by restoring the
health of those who have been invalids
for years.
The new saying of "how common
bright's disease is becoming among
prominent men 1'' is getting old, and
as the Englishman would say, sounds
"stuoid" esDeoiallv "stUDid" since this
disease is readily detected by tho more
learned men and specialists ot this dis
ease. But the "common run" of physi
cians. not detecting it, give tho patient
Epsom sails or other drugs prescribed
by tho old code ot treatment under
which their grandfathers and great
grandfathers practiced 1
Anon, we hear that the patient is
"comfortable." But ere long, raaybo,
they "tap him and take somo water
from him and again the "comfortable'
story is told. Torturo him rather than
allow him to use Warner's safo cure 1
With such variations tho doctors play
upon the unfortunate until Ins shroud
is made, when we learn that hd died
from heart disease, pyrciuia, septicemia
or somo other deceptive though "dig'
nilicd cause."
IiiX-l'resident Arthur s caso is not
singular it is typical of every such
case. "He is Buffering intensely." This
is nut usual. Generally there is al
most no suffering. He may recover.
if he will act independently of his phy
sieians. The agency named has cured
thousand of persons even in tho ex
treine stages is to day tho mainstay
ot tho health ot hundreds of thousands,
It is an mifortuuato fact that physi
cians will not admit any virtue ouUido
thrir own sphere, but as each school
denies virtue to all others, tho people
act on their own judgment and .accept
things by" tho record of merit they
make.
Tho facti are oauso for alarm, but
there is abundant hopo in prompt and
ititicpenucnt. action.

PigeonO.tctogln Bamoa.
The nround beinir cleared, the chiefs
talioned thcmsclvis at distances all
rOnnd a largo circular space, each con
cealed under a low shed or covering of
brushwood, having by his sido a net at-
tacneu to a long uamnoo. and in tils
hand a slick with a tamo plceon on a
crook al the end of 'it. This plceon
as trained lo fly round and round ns
treated by its owner, with a string at
its foot thirty feet long, nttached to
the end of tho stick. Every man flow
Ilia nitreon. and then tho ulinlo
circlo looked liko a place whero pitj-
eons were flocking round food and
water.
The scene soon atlraoted somo wild
pigeon, and as it approached tho spot,
whoover was next to it raised Ills net
and tried lo entangle it. Ho who got
the greatest number of pigeons was
tho hero of tho day and honored by
his friends with various kinds of food,
with which ho treated his less success
ful competitors. Some of tho pigeons
wcro baked, others were distributed
about and trained for further use.
Taming and exercising them for tho
porting season was a common p.s-
time.
SuoAn'Oonx. There is no moro pro
fitable crop to plaut in tho truck patch
than sugar corn, and it comes off in
time tor laie caobago or celery. There
are a great variety of kinds that ripen
at different seasons and a succession
may bo had by planting at different
times, soverai varitica ot tho everorcen.
owect corn at an seasons ot tno year
is not only a luxury but has como lo
bo a necessity of tho well set table. It
is very nutricious and wholcsomo and
eaten in moderation, it is quite health
ful for all kinds of animals and all but
humans will consume fodder and all.
