SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION.
 tThe free and independent 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 valu- able 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 advanc- ing in every direction which can help them morally, mentally or physically. This is specially true of the human body and every thing which concerns it, and the truths which the people have found, even in the 'ast fifty years, are simply marvellous. How really ignorant some cultured and suppos- ably scientific people were only few years lgo, as compared with the present day, may he better understood from few Illustrative falts. 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 car ried by the first steamer that went to Eng land. People once believed that the heart was the seat of life and health. 1t is now known that this organ is only plump, simply keeping in motion what other md more important organs of the body have created and transformed. It was once SUD- posed that if @ person felt pain in the back, the liver was deranged if a pain
 anne in the lower chest the lungs were affect ed and consumption was near; it is now known that pain in the back indicates dis eased kidneys, while troubles in the lower chest arise from o disordered liver and not imperfect lungs. A severe pain in the head was once thought to come from some partial 1erangement 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 removing the cause can the pain be cured. It is @ matter of
 PRIVATE HISTORY
 that Gen. Washington was bled to death. His last illness was slight, and caused prin- cipally by weariness. A physician was called who bled him copiously' Strange to say, the patient became no better. Another doc tor was called who again took away large amount of the vital fluid. Thus in success sion 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 bleeding!"
 The speaker then graphically described another period which came upon the people, in which they assigned the origin of all dis eases to the stomach, and after showing the falsity of this theory, and that the kidneys and liver were the causes of disease, and that many people are suffering 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 little more closely. The human body is the most per feet and yet the most delicate of all created things. It is capable of the greatest re- suits and it is liable to the greatest disor- ders. The slightest causes sometimes seem to throw its delicate machinery out of order while the most simple and common-sense care restores and keeps them in perfect con- dition. When it is remembered that the amount of happiness or misery we are to have in this world is dependent upon per feet body, is it not strange that simple pre-. cautions 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 ill every ones experience when it must be faced.
 "And here pardon me for relating little personal experience. In the year 1870 I found myself losing both in strength and health. I could assign no cause for the de- cline, but it continued, until finally called to my aid two prominent physicians. After treating me for some time they declared I was suffering from Bright's disease of the kidneys, and that they could do nothing n1sFe for me. At this time was so weak l could uot raise my head from the pillow and

 ''My heart beat so rapidly it was with diff culty could sleep. My lungs were also badly involved; I could retain nothing upon my stomach, while the most intense pains in my back and bowels caused me to long for death as Q relief. It was at this critical iuncture that physical longing which I felt and which most firmly believe was an in of a plant I had once known in medical practice. After great difficulty I at last secured them and began their use in tue form of tea. I noticed lessening of the pain at once; began to mend rapidly; in i've weeks I was able to be about, and in ,wo months I became perfectly well, and nave so continued to this day. It was only natural that such result should have caused ne to investigate most thoroughly. l care ,ully examined fields in medicine never be- lore explored. I sought the cause of physical order and disorder, happiness and pain, and found the kidneys and liver to oe the governors, whose motions regulate he entire system.
 After describing at length the offices of he kidneys and liver, and their important part in life, the doctor went on to say:
 Having found this great truth, I saw 'learly the cause of my recovery. The ;Imp,e vegetable leaf had used was Q food md restorer to my well-nigh exhausted kid leys and liver. It had come to them when heir life was nearly gone and by its simple, yet powerful influence had purified, and restored them, and saved ne from death. Realizing the great benefit which knowledge of this truth would give o the world I began ill modest way, to roat those afflicted, and in every case found he same

II. H. Warner, of Rochester, N. Y., gentleman whom l had cured of severe kidney disease, and who, by reason of his personal worth, high standing and iberality in endowing the As vronomical Observatory and other public en- .erprises, has become 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 reme- dy that saved my life, is known and used in all parts of the continent.
 "I am aware prejudice exists toward medicines, and that such preju- uice is too often well founded, but the value of pure remedy is no less because it is o4n. A :E.Al
