In the treatment of acute Brights disease, good results are often obtained from local depletion, from warm baths and from the careful employment of diuretics and purgatives.
Chronic Brights disease is much less amenable to treatment, but by efforts to maintain the strength and improve the quality of the blood by strong nourishment, and at the same time by guarding against the risks of complications, life may often be prolonged in comparative comfort, and even a certain measure of improvement be experienced.

Such an apprehension was far from unfounded, as Whymper's evaluation merely recalled the Senate speech of Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner (1811-74), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (Cook, 1975:22).
Although Sumner was initially reticent about the treaty, a briefing by R.M. Bannister, a scientist and, ironically, one of Whymper's comrades on the Western Union Telegraph Expedition, evidently fired his imagination (Hunt, 1976:36).

Care and craftsmanship are evident throughout - the lyrics are sharp and insightful, wry and witty, the musicianship (with the assistance of Stephen Bruton on slide guitar, mandolin and mandola) is excellent and on the twangy side of folk, and the backing vocals from Iain Matthews and Eliza Gilkyson are a joy.
Throughout the collection of eleven songs the professional production (by Bradley Kopp) is bright, full and warm with acoustic guitars, gentle bass and percussion, strings (cello and violin) and touches of accordion and harmonica.
