KIDNEY COMPLAINT.

)
Probably there is no complaint that
affiicts the human system, which is so
little understood at The present time, as
some of the varied forms of Kidney
Complaints.
There is no disease which causes such
acute pain or more alarming in its re-
suits than when the kidneys fail to Sc
crete from the blood the uric acid, and
other poisonous substances, which the
blood accumulates in it's circulation
through the system.
If from any cause the kidneys fail to
perform the functions devolving upon
them, the cumulations are taken-up By
the absorbents andg tile whole system
thrown into state of disease, causing
81 eat pain and suffering, and very often
Immediate. death. Hence the import
ance of keeping the kidneys and blood
in d healthy condition, through Which
all the impurities of the body must pass.

The Voice OF the Fading Leaf.
To The Editof: CT the slorristow7n Gazette:
My summer, is over and gone
Ny days OF youth and pleasure are

winter is upon me. The gorgeous
pencil of Autumn. and the mellow
October sunshine, have painted my
once delicate green dress with bright
crimson and gold; but soon even
this will be taken from met will
fade into a dark, sombre brown!
Little did think this would be
nay fate. when the gentle zephyrs
wooed me from, my happy home.
among the branches of the grand old
oak. Silly Child l imagined 1
would be happy here-that the
zephyrs would still caress me with
their soft breatl-that the birds would
still nestle beside me, as they once
did; bat, alas they have flown to
the sunny South, and am alone in
my sorrow.
All nature is still, except the &C.
casional dropping Of nut, or one Of
my companions, as they softly loose
their hold on the dear old tree, aud
gently rustic, down to the cold earth,
only to,shaue my unhappy fate. The
squirrels are all hurrying to their
winter homes, forgetting me, who so
often sheltered them from the scorch-
ing rays Of tie August sun; or
screened them from theAeye and rife
Of the hunter.
