The following synopsis of lec;ste de-
livered BY DR.. Horace r. Hamilton be-
fore the New York Society for tine promo
ton OF science, contains so much that g
timely and important that it can be read
with both interest and profit:
There Is probably no subject Of modern
times that has caused and is causing great
er attention than the origin of tornsdDes.
Scientists have studied it for the benefit Of
humanity; men have investigated 1t for the
welfare of their families. 4. has been q
vexed subject long considered, and through
all this investigation the cyclone has swept
across the land carrying destruction to
scientists as well as to the Innocent dwell
ers in its track. One thing, however, is
certain; the cause of the cyclone must be
sought far away from the whirling body
of wind itself. Its results are powerful;
its cause must also be powerful. Let us
therefore consider few facts. First, the
appearance OF a cyclone Is invariably
preceded by dark spots upon the face OF
the sun. These spots, indicating q dis
turbed condition of the solar regions, nee
essarlly affect the atmosphere of our earth.
An UNUSUAL generation of heat IN one part
Of the atmosphere is certain TO cause par.
tial vacuum in another portion Air must
rush in 10 fill this vacuum. Hence the dis
turbances-hence the cyclone. This theory
finds additional confirmation In the fact
that tornsdoes come during the day and
not at night. The dark spots upon the
surface Of the sun, whatever they may be,
seem to cause great commotion in the at
mosphere 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 1t reasonable to
suppose tnat the marvellous effect of the
sun upon vegetation and life in general
shall be less than upon the atmosphere
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 its application IN nearly
every department of life An operator Is
in San Francisco-the click OF the instru-
ment manipulated by his fingers, In New
York. The president makes slight stroke
of the pen in his study at the White
House, and the whole nation IS aroused by
the act. An uneasiness and disgust with
everything in 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 uncertain
pain may be felt in the head. Ii is repeat
cd IN other parts of the body. The appe-
tite departs and all energy Is gone. Is the
cause necessarily to be found IN the head3
The next day the feeling increases. There
are added symptoms. They continue and
become more aggravated. The slight pains
IN the head increase to agonies. The nau-
sea becomes chronic. The heart grows
irregular, ald the breathing uncertain. All
these effects have q definite cause; aud,
after years of deep experience upon this
subject, do not hesitate 10 say that this
cause is to be found in some arrangement
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
VIII tever in my kidneys or liver. Very
true. Neither have We any evidence that
sun; but il is none the less certain that the
tornado is here, and II is none the less Ger
tain that these great organs of the body
are the cause of the trouble although there
may be no pain in their vicinity.
know whereof | speak, for l have
passed through this very experience my.
self Nearly ten years ago, was the pic
ture of health, weighing more than 200
pounds, and as strong and healthy as any
man ever knew. When l felt the symp.
toms have above described, they caused
me annoyance, not only by reason of their
aggravatlng nature, but because l never
felt any pain before. Other doctors told
me WAS troubled with malaria, and l
treated myself accordingly. did not be-
lieve, however, that malaria could show
such aggravated symptoms. Il never oc-
CURED to me that analysis would help solve
the trouble, as did not presume my diff
ficulty was located IN that portion of the
b,dy. But continued TO grow worse. l
ead a faint sensation at the pit of my
stomach nearly every day. / felt great
desire to eat, and yet l losthed food. l
was constantly tired and still | could not
sleep. My brain was unusually active,
but could not think connectediy. My
existence was q living misery. l contln-
ued In this condition for nearly a year;
never free from pain, never for moment
happy. Such an existence Is far worse
than death, for which | confess earnestly
longed.
1t was while suffering thus that friend
advised me to make flal attempt to re-
cover my health. l sneered inwardly at
his suggestion, but | was too weak to make
any resistance. He furnished me with a
remedy, simple yet palatable aud within
two days observed a slight change for
the better. This awakened my courage.
1 felt that l would not die at that time. l
continued the use of the remedy, taking it
In accordance with directions, until l be-
came not only restored to my former health
and strength, but Of greater vigor than l

continued up TO the present time, and /

as thousands Of other men have died and
are dying every day had it not been for
the simple yet wonderful power OF War

The lecturer then described his means
of restoration more in detail, and couclu-
ied as follows:
My complete recovery has caused me to
investigate the subject more carefully, and

most Ill health of our modern civilization.
| am fully confident that four-fifth of the
diseases which sfi.ct humanity might be
avoided were the kidneys and liver kept
in perfect condition. Were it possible to

'ould undoubtedly be averted. That,
