The experience of any one OF education
and learning extending over a long period OF
time must necessarily be valuable. and
while no two experiences in this world are
| alike, there Is such a similarity between
them as to render one which is rich in valu-
| able facts Of benefit to all. Americas great

judging the future but by the past and past

A representative of this pape lille
lounging in the lobby of a prominent New
York hotel, met q gentleman whom he had

his entire time and attention to an extensive
| medical practice, and was on the crest OF the
wave OF popularity. From Detroit he re-
moved To New YORK where he could ind a
more extensive neld for his talents and ex-
perience. Although several years had passed

eases arise from imperfect kidneys and liver.
The liver becomes ciogged, and its work Is
thrown on the kidneys; they become over
worked and break down., and SO the poison
