ISOLATION.

1.-The public speaker OF the present day Ia
bors under difficulties Of which the speakers OF
the last century never dreamed, for while the
audiences of the past received what was said
without question, those Of the present day are
usually the mental equals or superiors OF the
ones who address them. Rev. DIR. Tying, OF
New York, when q theological student sup
piled church in a neighboring town, and on
his way to preach one morning, met an aged
colored man. WELL Uncle, do you ever go to
hear the Young preacherY asked the unhedged
doctor. No, Massa, replied the negro, dis
chile don't let none O. dem students praotis
on him. The darkey had begun to think.
The 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 de-
partment of life The valuable inventions of
the day are counted by thousands. The increase

inquiry in all fields IL 80 marked as to cause

while people seem investigating and
advancing in every direction which
can help them morally mentally or
physically. This Is specially true of the hui
man body and everything which concerns 1t,
and the truths which the people have found,
even in the last fifty years, are simply marvel

may be better understood from few illustIa-
tive 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 pump, simply keeping i'll motion what
other and more important organs OF the body
have created and transformed. 1t was once
supposed that il person felt a pain in the
back, the liver was deranged il pain came
inSthe lower chest the lungs were affected and
consumption was near 1t ia now known that
pain in the back indicates diseased kidneys,
while troubles in the lower chest arise from
disordered liver and not imperfect lungs.
severe pain in the head was once thought to
come from some partial arrangement OF the
brain; it il 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. 1t is
matter OF
PRIVATE HISTORY
that Gen. Washington was bled to death. His
last illness was slight, and caused principally
by WEAKNESS. A physician was call who
bled him copiously. Strange to say, the pa
tient became no better. Another doctor was
called. who again took away large amount OF
the vital fluid. Thus in succession four physi-
clans drew away the life of great man who
was intended by nature for an old age, and who
prematurely dled-murdered by malpractice
bled to death. That was the age of medical
bleeding"
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 causes OF disease, aud that many
people are suffering from kidney and liver
troubles to-day who do not know II, but who
should know it and attend to them at once,
continued:
"Let ne look Mt this matter little more
closely. The human body is the most perfect
and vet the most delicate OF all created things.
IL il capable of the greatest results and it is
liable to the greatest disorders. The slightest
causes sometimes seem to throw its delic tie
machinery out of order while the most simple
and common-sense care restores and keeps
them in perfect condition. When 1t is remem-
bered that the amount OF happiness or misery
we are to have in this world is 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. Peo-
pie may avoid it for the present. but there Is
certain TO come time IN every ones experience
when il must be faced.

After describing at length the offices of the
kidneys and liver, and their important part in
life, the doctor went on to say
