The true test of any religion is the effect 1t
produces upon the lives of those who profess
It And, indeed, the test of real merit every
where must be the power it possesses of
accomplishing desirable results. In this age
OF the world men are not judged by what
they claim to be able to do, but by
what they can do; not By what they
are reputcd to be, but by what they are.
Here is where the religion Of our own country
rises superior to the faith of Mohammedan
or Hindoo lands; for while there is much
hypocrisy in the Church, and far too much
worldliness, there is yet an absence OF those
sensual and brutal elements which character
ize the religions Of Arabia and the Ganges.
This principle is equally true in all other
departments Of life. The same rule which
applies to persons is equally applicable to
things. Unquestioned merit must character
ize them all, or they cannot be acceptable,
much less popular. The clear and well ar
ranged lecture delivered by DIR. Chas. Craig
before the Metropolitan Scientific Association
appeared in the columns of this paper q short
time since. In this lecture some new truths
were brought to light bearing directly upon,
and affecting the interests of, the entire COM
munity. These facts, as stated by the doc
tor in his lecture, have been discussed in the
columns Of the religious press to a consider
able extent in the past, and that too, by very
prominent personages. A few years ago the
Rev. j. E. Rankin, D. D., of Washington, who
is prominently known among the Congrega-
tional denominations of the country, pub
-.
drew forth most bitter replies from
prominent physicians, and in response
to these articles DR.. Rankin published
long Communications in the New York
Independent the Boston Congreyationalist and
the Chicago Advancs reiterating his former
statements and strongly emphasizing them.
In these articles DR.. Rankin frankly stated
he was as strongly convinced of the efficacy
OF the means used as he was that the Gene
see river emptied into Lake Ontario. he
further said: az have known too, of it's use
In similar cases by physicians of the highest
character and standing, and L want, in the
interest Of humanity, to recommend Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure"
Now while very few people are afflicted as
severely as was DIR. Craig, or the cases DIR.
Rankin refers to, still It is a lamentable fact
that the great majority of people, in all parts
Of the land, are suffering to a greater or les.
extentfrom i'll health and that this lack of
health arises from either disordered kidneys
or liver. Some additional facts, from the
highest sources, Of special interest upon q
subject OF such importance to the community
have therefore been collected by this paper,
and are herewith given: q.

in all parts Of the land as prominent and
efficient leader In the Methodist delonina

In a communication made by Rev. Dr.. C.
A. Harvey, the well known financial and etiu-
sational secretary of Howard university.
Washington, d. c., the doctor says: /.
II have for the past few years been ac-
quainted with the remedy known as Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure and with its re-
markable curative efficacy in obstinate and
sO-called incufable cases of Bright's disease
which occurred In this city. In some OF these

both schools, the speedy cures which were
wrought by this remedy seemed to be little
less than miraculous. I am convinced that
for Bright's disease in all its stages, including
those first symptoms OF kidney troubles
which are SO cas- ly overlooked, but are so
fraught with danger, no remedy heretofore
discovered can be held for one moment IN
