A LECTURER DISCOVERS 1113 DANGER AND LOSES IIIS LIFE—A TERRIBLE WAMfING TO OTHERS, It is a scene in the leoture-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 hy which it is surrounded. In order to illustrato it lie has fluids from the human body, which he is Bnb» jeoling to chemical tests.
" Gentlemen," ho said, " I have described to you the appearance of the human fluid in a diseased state; I will now ehow 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 hund tremMed, he caught- his breath, he paled and exclaimed, Gentlemen, I have just made a most horrible discovery; I myself have Blight's diseaso of the kidneys." In less than one year he 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 tho demon oi the present century. It steals into the system like a thief, manifesto its presence by the commonest symptoms and faslons itself upon ths system before Ihe victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common and fully as fatal. Entire families inheriting it from their ancenters, have died, yet none of tho number know or realised the mysteroiis power which was removing them. Hundreds of people die daily by what is called heart disease, apoplexy, paralysis, spinal complaint, rheumatism, pneumonia, and other common diseases, when in reality it is Bright's disease of the kidnoys These are solemn facts, but all the more serious because of their solemnity. There haa never been but one remedy known for the cure of bright's disease, or even 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 an'd strength. It will invariably chock 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 ond 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 any unscrupulous dealer to sell anything in its place.
