APHYsICIAN's EXPERIENCE.

DR.. r. X. Clark, a regular physician of
extensive practice in Grand Isle county,
and worthy deacon of the Congregational
Church, at South Hero, Vt, has used
Kidney-WOrt for several years in his
practice, and before the present proprie-
tors purchased an interest in it, he had
given his unbiased opinion in its favor
This opinion has not changed. II has done
better than any other remedy hare ecer
used" says the Doctor, and further on he
writes: II do not recOllect an instance
where the patient to whom l have given
it has failed to receive benefit from its
use, and in some severe cases most de-
cidedly So" These are strong words.
They are from a representative, conscien-
tious, ever-approachable public citizen,
however, and-better still-they are true.

miums lavished upon it by its friends
and their name is legion. 81 lcW SlceQr
by Kidney-Wort all the time," writes Mr..
j. r. Kaufman, Of Lancaster, Pa. We
will supplement this by asserting, as a
matter of fact, and one capable of demon
stration, that all honest patrons OF this
remedy are its friends and advocates.

Everybody recognizes spring, when ii is

Thomson, in his Seasons and Shake

haps, no peers in describing it, and yet
''etherial spring" is freighted with mala-

the very air we breathe" 1t spreads over
the fairest portions of our land; brings
death and disease to thousands; cuts off
scores upon scores of our children and
youth. as we'll as those in advanced life.
A pestilence is regarded with little less

asking, what is it?' ''Where does it
