Human Happiness and Timely Sug-
gestions About Securing It.
Synopsis OF a Lecture Delivered by DIR.
Charles Craig Before the MetropoI-
itan Scientific Association.

OF the past received what was said without oues-
ton, those Of the present day are usually the
mental equals OF superors Of the ones who address
them. Rev Dr. Tying Of New York, when a
theological student, supplied a church in a neigh
boring town, and on his way to preach one morn

The free and independent thought Of this age ac-
cepts statements only where they are proven to
be truth, while the development of mental power
seems equally great in every other department OF
life. The valuable inventions Of the day are
counted by thousands. The increase OF scientific
study is universal The spirit OF inquiry in all
fields is so marked as to cause
COMMENT ON EVERY SIDE,
while people seem investigating and advancing in
every direction which can help them morally,
mentally or physically. This is specially true OF
the human body and everything which concerns
it, and the truths which the people have found,
even in the last fifty years, are simply marvellous
How really ignorant some cultured and suppos-
ably scientific people were only few years ago.

People once believed that the heart was the seat
OF life and health. 1t is now known that this Or

what other and more important organs of the
body have created and transformed It was once
supposed that II person felt pain in the back,
the liver was deranged; II pain came in the
lower chest the lungs were affected and consump-
ton was near. 1t is now known that pain in the
back indicates diseased kidneys, while trouble in
the lower chest arises from disordered liver and
not imperfect lungs A severe pain in the head
was once thought to come from some partial
arrangement OF the brain; it is now known that
troubles in other parts of the body and away from
the head, cause headaches and that only by re-

matter Of
PRIVATE HISTORY
that General Washington was bled to death His
last illness was slight, and caused principally by
WEAKNESS. A physician was called who 'bed
him copiously.' Strange to say, the patient be-
come no better. Another doctor was called, who
again took away large amount of the vital fluid.
Thus in succession four physicians drew away the
life of a great man who was intended by nature
for an old age, and who prematurely died-mur-
dered by malpractice-bled to death. That was
the age of medical bleedingl''
The speaker then graphically described another
period which came upon the people, in which
they assigned the origin of all diseases to the
stomach, and after showing the falsty OF this
theory, and that the kidneys and liver were the
causes OF disease and that many people are suffer-
ing from kidney and liver troubles to-day who do
not know it, but who should know it and attend
to them at once, continued
Let us look at this matter a little more closely
The human body is the most perfect and yet the
most delicate Of all created things 1t is capable
of the greatest results and it is liable to the great
est disorders The slightest causes sometimes
seem to throw its delicate machinery out of order
while the most simple and common-sense care re-
stores and keeps them in perfect condition. When
it is remembered that the amount OF happiness or
misery we are to have In this world il dependent
upon perfect body, is it not strange that simple
precautions and care are not exercised? This is
one OF the most vital questions OF life People
may avoid it for the present. but there is certain
to come time in every ones experience when it
must be faced
And here pardon me for relating little per-
sonal experience In the year 1870 found my
self losing both in strength and health | could
assign no cause for the decline, but 1t continued
until finally called to my aid two prominent
physicians. After treating me for some time they
declared was suffering from Brights disease of
the kidneys, and that they could do nothing
more for me. At this time | was so weak could
not raise my head from my pillow and
PAINTED REPEATEDLY
My heart beat so rapidly it was with difficulty I
could sleep. My lungs were also badly involved
could retain nothing upon my stomach, while
the most intense pains in my back and bowels
caused me to long for death as a relief 1t was at
this critical juncture that physical longing which
felt land which most firmly believe was an in

After great difficulty | at last secured them and
began their use in the form of tea noticed a
lessening Of the pain at once; began to mend
rapidly; in five weeks was able to be about and
in two months became perfectly well and have

that such result should have caused me to in
vestgate most thoroughly. | carefully examined
fields in medicine never before explored | sought
the cause OF physical order and disorder, hap
piness and pain, and found the kidneys and
liver to be the governors, whose motions regulate
the entire system
Having found this great truth, saw clearly
the cause OF my recovery. The simple vegetable
leaf had used was a food and restorer TO my we'll
nigh exhausted kidneys aud liver. 1t had come
to them when their life was nearly gone and by
its simple, yet powerful influence had purified,
and restored them and saved me
from death. Realizing the great benefit which a
knowledge OF this truth would give to the world |
began in modest way to treat those afflicted
and in every case found the same
HAPPY RESULTS
which had experienced Not only this, but
many who were not conscious of any physical
trouble but who at my suggestion began the use

their health steadily improving and their strength
continually increasing So universal, where used,
was this true, that determined the entire worl
should share in its results, and | therefore placed
the formula for its preparation in the hands of
Mr. H. II, Warner OF Rochester, n Y, a gentle
man whom had cured of a severe kidney disease,
and who, by his personal worth, high standing
and liberality III endowing the Astronomical OBJ
seryatory and other public enterprises, has be-
come known and popular to the entire country.
This gentleman at once began the manufacture OF
the remedy on a most extensive scale, and to-day
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the pure
remedy that saved my life, is known and used in
all parts Of the continent.
81 am aware prejudice exists toward proprie-
tary medicines, and that such prejudice is too Of
ten well founded but the value OF a pure remedy
Is no less because 1t is proprietary medicine. A
justfable prejudice exists toward quack doctors,
but is II right that this prejudice should extend
toward all the doctors who are earnestly and in
diligently trying to do their duty9 Because
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure saved my
life before 1t became proprietary medicine is 1t
reasonable to suppose that it will not cure others
and keep still more from sickness now that it is
sold with government stamp on the wrapper9
Such a theory would DO childish"
The doctor then paid some high compliments to
American science and closed his lecture RS follows:
