must be the power it possesses of &C
complishing 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 reputed to be, but
by what they are. Here is where
the religion of our own country rises
superior to the faith of Mohamme-
dan or Hindoo lands; for while
there is much hypocrisy in the
church, and far too much worldi-
ness, there is yeta absence 0fthose
sensual and brutal elements which
characterizes 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. Un-
them all or they cannot be accepta-
BILE, much less popular. The clear
and well arranged lecture delivered
by DIR. Chas. Craig before the Met
rOpolital Scientific Association ap-
peared in the columns of this paper
a short time since. In this lecture
so many truths were brought to
light bearing directly upon, and af-
fecting the interests of, the entire
community. These facts, as stated
by the doctor in his lecture, have
been discussed in the columns of the
religious press to q considerable ex-
tent in the past, and that, too, by
very prominent persOnages. A few
years ago the Rev. j. L. Rankin, ID.
D., of Washington, who is promi-
nently known among the Congrega-
tional denominations of the coun1
try, published an article upon the
same subject which drew forth most
bitter replies from prominent physi-
clans, and in response to these arti-
cles DIR. Rankin published long COM
munications in the New York hide
pendent, the Boston Congregational
SSt and the Chicago Adod1lce reiter-
ating his former statements and
strongly emphasizing them. In these
articles DIR. Rankin frankly stated
he was as strongly convinced of the
efficacy of the means used as he was
that the Genesee river emptiea into
Lake Ontario. He further said /:
II have known, too, Of its use in
similar cases by physicians of the
highest character and standing, and
/ want. in the interest of humanity,
to recommend Warmers Safe Kid
nsy and liver Cure" it.r
Now, while very few people are
afflicted as severely as was DIR.
Craig. or the cases of DR.. Rankin
refers to, still it is q lemQntable
fact that the great majority of peo-
pie, in all parts of the land, are suf-
fering to a greater or less extent
frcm ill health, and that this lack of
health arises from either disordefed
kidneys or liver. Some additional
facts, from the highest sources, of
special interest upon n subject of
such Importance to the community.
have, therefore, been collected by,
this paper, and are herewith given /:
Rev. ID. w. Bartine, M. D., d. D.,
is known in all parts of the land Us a
prominent and efficient leader in
the Methodist denomination. In
speaking upon this same subject as
shown in his own experience he
said; "Some few months since /
found myself suffering from kid
ney difficulty which L knew to be
the first stages of Brights disease.
BY the use of q reliable test found
that my system was giving off albu-
men, and in some instances in coag-
ulated state. l also suffered severe
ly from dropsy, particularly about
the ankles, together with slight
pains about the kidneys, derange-
ment of digestion and great dryness
of the skin. had at all times mnch
thirst, and of course this was fol-
lowed by u gradual failing of
strength. This was about the state
of things when I commenced using
the preparation known as Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. l took
about six tablespoonfuls every day
for a week, and found all my symp-
toms decidedly improving. con-
tinued taking the remedy until l
entirely recovered" +
In a Communication made by Rev.
DIR. G. A. Harvey, the well known
financial and educational secretary
of Howard University, Washington,
ID. c., the doctor says: 'lf
al have for the past few years
been acquainted with the remedy
known as Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, and with its remarkable
curative efficacy in obstinate and
so-called incurable caseH of Brlght's
disease, which occurred in this city.
In some of these cases, which seemed
to be in the last stages, and had been
given up by practitionists of both
schools, the speedy cures which were
wrought by this remedy to beseemed
little less than miraculous. am con-
WINGED that for Bright's disease, in
all its stages, including those first
symptoms of kidney troubles which
are so easily overlooked, but are so
fraught with danger, no remedy
heretofore discovered can be heldfor
one moment in comparison with
this, and / hope that Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure may become
as widely known as is the existence
of the maladies which it will cure"
Rev. A. G. Kendrick, ID. D., LII.
D., who is professor of Hebrew and
Greek languages in the University
of Rochester, New York, and who is
one of the American revisors. of the
New Testament, in speaking of the
effect which Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure had upon himself,
stated most emphatically that he had
received marked benefit from it,
and he cordially recommended it
to the use of others. "a 5ub M /
Rev. A. Bramley, pastor of the Ar
senal street M. E. Church, Water-
town, N. Y, testified in a,irecent in
terview that the first few bottles of
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure had entirely removed the dis
tinctive features Of q severe kidney
difficulty, and that while he had not
been able to lie upon his back with
out great pain for more than FIVE
years, he was now not only able to
do SO, but slept soundly, atesheartily
and calls himself a well man, 80
Rev. A. p. Hill, of Shoeheel, N. c.,
having been troubled with q severe
kidney and liver disease for a num-
Der of years, said: 81 have been
praying for relief for four years,
and i believe / got it in answer to
prayer. May God bless the firm
who manufacture Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure. Many of
my friends have also used itWith
marked benefit, and L hope my tes-
timony in its behalf may savsithe
lives and relieve many who are now
severely suffering from kidney or
liver troubles in some-of their many
and dangerous forms" "a tHa'5
