REMARKABLE INCIDENT.

A LECTURER DISCOVERS HIS DANGER AND LOSES HIS LIKE—A TERRIBLE WARNING TO OTHERS. It la (v scene in the lecture room of a medical college in New Orleans. The professor is lecturing before an intelligent class of medical students. He is describing the human body, its defects, and the dangers by which it is surrounded. In order to illustrate it he has ilnids from the human body, which ho is subjecting to chemical tests. “Gentlemen,” he said, “ I have described to you the appearance of the human fluid in a diseased state ; I will now show you how the same fluid appears in a healthy state,” and he subjected his own to the "test. As he held it up to the light for a moment, his hand trembled, he caught his breath, he paled, and exclaimed, « Gentlemen, I have just made a most horrible discovery; I myself have Bright’s disease of the kidneys.” In less than one year ho was dead. The above dramatic and strictly true incident shows the terrible danger and mysterious nature of this modern disease, which may well be called the demon of the present century. It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its presence by the commonest symptoms, and fastens itself upon the system before the victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common, and fully as fatal. Entire families inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, yet none of the number knew or realised the mysterious power which was removing them. Hundreds of people die daily by what is called heart disease, apoplexy, paraylsis, spinal complaint, rheumatism, pneumonia, and other common diseases, when in reality it is Bright’s disease of the kidneys. These are solemn facts, but all the more serious because of their solemnity. There has never been but one remedy known for the cure of Bright’s disease, eleven for its relief, and that remedy has become the most popular of any preparation known to the world. It is Warner’s .Safe Cure. It has taken men, and women, too, who were in the lowest stages and restored them to perfect health and strength. It will invariably check , the,first stages of this terrible disease, if taken in time. It is endorsed by physicians, approved by scientists, and used by the best people in the land. It is a scientific preparation, and owes its popularity wholly to its power. It can be procured of any reliable dealer, but great care should be exercised to secure the genuine and not permit anynnscrupulous dealer to sell anything in its place.
