of the past received what was said
question, those of the present day are
usually the mental equals or superiors of the
ones who address them. Rev. DR.. Tying, of
New York, when a theological student, supplied
a church in a neighboring town, and on his way
to preach one morning, met an aged colored
man. We'll, Uncle, do you ever go to hear the
young preacher2' asked the unfiedged Doctor,
''No, Massa,' replied the negro, dis chile don't
let none O. dem students practis on him. The
darkey had began to think. The free and inde-
pendent thought of this age accepts 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
NINE IN 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 we're only a few years ago,
rs compared with the present day, may be bet
ter understood from a few illustrative facts. A
prominent writer prepared an elaborate essay to
prove that steamships could never cross the
Atlantic, and his pamphlet was issued just in
time to be carried by the first steamer that went
to England. People once believed that the
heart was the seat of life and health. 1t is now
known that this organ is only a pump, simply
keeping in motion what other and more impor-
tant organs of the body have created and trans

felt q pain in the back, the liver was deranged;
if q pain camein the lower chest the lungs were
affected and consumption was near; it is now
known that a pain in the back indicates diseased
kidneys, while troubles in the lower chest arise
from q disordered liver, and not imperfect
lungs. A severe pain in the head was once
thought to come from some partial derange-
ment 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 remov-
ing the cause can the pain be cured. 1t is .
that Gen. Washington was bled to death. His
last illness was slight, and caused principally
by WEAKNESS. A physician was called h
'bled him copiously.' Strange to say the pa

the vital fluid. Thus in succession four ply

The speaker then graphically described an
other period which came upon the people, in
which they assigned the origin of all diseases to
the stomach, and after showing the falsity of
this theory, and that the kidneys and liver were
the cause of disease, and that many people are
suffering from kidney and liver troubles to-day
who do not know il, but who should know it
and attend to them at once, continued
IssTet uS Look at this matter a little mora
| 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 greatest disorders. The slightest
causes sometimes seem to throw its delicate ma
chinery out of order while the most simple and
common-sense care restores and keeps them in
perfect condition. When it is remembered that
the amount of happiness or misery we are to
have in this world is dependent upon a perfect
body. Is it not strangethat 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
a time in every ones experience when it must
be faced.
ttAndr here pardon me for relating a little
personal experience. In the year 1870 I found
myself losing both in strength and health. I
could assign no cause for the decline, but it con-
tinued, until finally 1 called to my aid two

I 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 criticaljuncture that . physical longing
which I felt (and which ! most firmly believe
was an inspiration) caused me to send for the
leaves of a plant 1 had once known in medical
practice. After great difficulty I at last secured
them and began their use in the form of tea.

natural that such a result should have caused
me to investigate most thoroughly. I carefully
examined fields in medicine never before explor'

order, happiness and pain, and I found the kid
neys and liver to be the governors, whose mo
tions regulate the entire system"
After describing at length the Offices of the
kidneys and liver, and their important part in
in life, the Doctor went on to say:
fHaving found this great truth, I saw clearly
the cause of my recovery. The simple vegetable
leaf l had used was a food and ~restorer to my
well-nigh exhausted kidneys and liver. 1t hal

purified, strengthened and restored them, ant
saved me from death. Realizing the grea'
benefit which a knowledge of this truth woult
give to the world I began, in a modest way, t.
treat those afflicted, and IN every case I found
the same .a etF .1t-

1 therefore placed the formula for its prepare
ton in the hands of Mr.. H. II. Warner, O
Rochester, N. Y, a gentleman whom had cureo
of a severe kidney disease, and who, by reasol
of his personal worth, high standing and lib
crafty in endowing the Astronomical Observa
tory and other public enterprises, has become
known and popular to the entire country. Thl
gentleman at once began the manufacture o
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 ant
used in all parts of the continent.
AZ am aware q prejudice exists toward pro

quack doctors, but is it right that this prejudice
should extend towards all the Doctors who ar
earnestly and intelligently trying to do thei
duty? Because Warmers Safe Kidney and Live
Cure saved my life before it became a proprie
tary medicine, is it reasonable to suppose tina
it will not cure others and keep still more from
sickness now that it is sold with a Government
stamp on the wrapper? Such a theory woul'
be childish"
The Doctor then paid some high compliment
to American science, and closed his lecture q
follows:
