 The following synopsis of a lecture de- livered by Dr. Horace R. Hamilton before the New York society for the promotion of science, contains so much that is timely and important that 1t can be re Id with both in terest and profit:
 There IS probably no subject of modern times that has caused and is causing greater attention than the origin of tornadoes. Sci entists have studied it for the benefit of hu- manity; men have investigated 1t for the welfare of their families It has been vexed sub; ;ect long considered, and through all this invest gation the cyclone has s~epi across the land, carrying destruction to sci entiSts as well as to the innocent dwellers in its track. One hng, however, is certain; the cause of the cyclone must be sought far away from the whir.ing bo ly of wind it elf Its results are powerful it's cause must also be powerful. Let us there o @ consider a few facts. First, the appearance of cy clone IS invariably precede by dark spots dicating distu"b bed condit on of the solar region ne"e ,sarily affect the atmosphere of out elrth, An unusu Il generation of heat in one part of the atmo phele is certun to ctuse part al vacuum in another portion. Air must ru! h in O fill this vacuum. Hence the distul banceS-! ence the cyclone. This theory find addi ional contr nation in the fact that tornado e. come during the day and not at night. The dark spots upon tte sur face of the sun, whatever they may be, seem to cause great commotion in the atmosphere of the world, and It is almost certain that the extremely wet weather of the present season can be accounted for on precisely this basis Is it reasonable to suppose t a the marvellous effect of the sun upon vegetation and life in general shall be less than uron the atmos phere itself through which its rays come? The cause is remote, but the effect is here.
 After describing some of the terrible eff fects of the cyclone, the speaker went on to say:
 This rule finds it's application in nearly every department of life. An operator is in San Francisco-the click of the instrument manipulated by his fingers, in New York. The president makes a slight stroke of the pen in his study at the White House. and the whole nation is aroused by the act. An un- easiness and disgust with everything ill life, commonly called home sickness, is felt by many people, when the cause is to be found in the distant home thousands of miles away. An uncei tain pain may be felt in the head. It is repeated in other parts of the ly. The appetite departs and all energy is gone. Is the ca lse necessarily to be found in the head? The next day the feeling in creases. There are added symptoms. They continue and become more aggravated. The slight pains in the head increase to ago. n;es. The nausea becomes chronic. The
 
 certain. All these effects have definite cause, and, after years of deep experience upon this subject, l do not hesitate to say that this cause is to be found in some de- rangement of the kidneys or liver far away from that portion of the body in which these effects appear. But one may say, have no pain whatever in my kidueys or liver Very true. Neither have we any evidence that there is tornado on the surface of the sun; but it is none the less certain that the tor 1nIN | Ssr %t,ea1 -fn,y, that tho SC great organs of the body are the cause of the trouble although there may be no pain in their vicinity:
 Iknow hereof speak, for have passed through this very experience myself. Nearly ten years ago I was the picture of health, weighing more than 200 pounds, and as strong and healthy as any man ever knew. When 1 felt the symptoms l have above de- scribed they caused me annoyance, not only by reasC n of their aggra7ating nature, but because I had never felt any pain before. Other doctors told me was troubled with malaria, and l treated myself accordingly. I did not believe, however, that malaria could show such aggravated symptoms. It never occurred to me tEat analysis would hep solve the trouble, as did n ot presume my difficulty was located in that portion of the body. But I continued to grow worse. l had faint sensation at the pit of my stomach nearly every day. I felt great desire to eat, and yet loathed food. I was cons tant2y tired, and still could not sleep. My brain was unusual y active, but could not think commercially My existence was a living misery. I continued il this condition for nearly year; never free from pain, never for a moment happy. Such an exist ence is far wor @ than death, for which I confess I earnestly longed.
 It was while suffs ring thus that a friend advised me to make a final attempt to re- cover my health. sneered inwardly at his suggestion, but was too weak to make any resistance. He furnished me with remedy, simple yet palatable, and within two days observed slight change for the better. This awakened my courage. felt that would not die at that time. I continued the use of the remedy taking it in accordance with directions, until became not only restored to my former health and strength, but of greater vigor than have ever before known. This condition has continued up to the pres ent time, and believe should have died as miserably as thousands of other men have died and are dying every day had 1t not been for the simple yet wonderful power of War uer's Safe Cure, the remedy I employed.
 The lecturer then described his means of restoration more in detail, and concluded as follows
 My complete recovery has caused me to investigate the subject more carefully, and believe 1 have discovered the key to most fully confident thatfour fifths of he diseases which atfiict humanity might be avoided were the kidneys and liver kept in perfect condition. Were it possible to control the action of the sun, cyclones could undoubt- edly be averted. That, however, is one of the things that cannot be- But rejoice to say that it is possible to control the kidneys and liver, to render their action wholly nor nal and their @; @ upon the system that of purifiers lather than poisoners. That this end has been accomplished largely by means of the remedy have named I do not have 8 doubt, and I feel it my duty to make this open declaration for the enlightenment of the profession an l for the benefit of suffer- ing humanity ill all parts of the world.
