 Certain Concealed Danger Brought to Light in the Experience of Q weIl- Known Man. t@E
 From the Chicago JournaLI
 If the men, women and children of America could see the danger that Is lurking around them each day and on every side. the most courageous would lose heart, appetite and sleep. Air, even in the most open localities, is loaded with poison. Water is liable to contain animal matter that will develop and grow after being taken into the system. Food is almost certain to be adulterated while accidents are always imminent It is perhaps meroitnl provision that few of these things are seen and fewer realized, but their danger is all the greater for this very reason. Most people who read these lines are almost certainly on the threshold Of what may be serious, possibly fatal danger. The forces that go to make life may be snapped instantly or by gradual degrees. The greatest dangers are often the most silent and least observed and no one can afford to neglect even their, slightest appearance.
 These truths were strikipgIy illustrated in the experience of gentleman well known to most of the American public. MT. w. J. Ferguson, who in the play IA Friendly Tip" under the management of MT. W. W. Kelly, has been making such pronounced success, is perhaps the best light comedian on the stage. He is a gentleman of slight build, | possessing grace of manner and meditation of yoice specially attractive because of it's rarity. He has worked hard and conscien- t1onsly in the past and his success is the result of merit and labor. But for a number ot years, and indeed up to comparatively short time, Mir. Ferguson was most mysteri- ously afflicted, so much SO, that he refused numerous tempting offers to travel through the country as far as California and played only in New York city and vicinity. Speaking to representative of this paper upon the subject, he said:
 T was conscious that something was silently but surely working against my life. | At times would feel shooting pains in my extremlties, and then again my muscles and | 1olnts would fairly throb with agony. l was feverlsh, uneasy and lost my ambition and interest in life. These troubles grew until | what were at first minor pains and Rnnoyances became actual burdens of agony. It seemed | as though could feel the disease growing and creeping to every portion of my body. l If l had been careful in the beginning l might, perhaps, have overcome what after | wards became so serious but like every body else. afflicted as was. I neglected the first indications A last I became so bad that could not leave the house and was confined | to my bed good portion of the time. and of | course under the immediate care of physi clans. They evidently did all they could for me and in fact did everything except relieve me"
 ''That certainly. Is no uncommon thing, Il said the reporter, ''but it is evident you have been relieved, and have some curiosity to know how"
 Well, during the time of my sickness received very many calls from friends, and among others from one who was fully able to sympathize with me as he had bean through similar experience to the one was then enduring. He described his case minutely. and not only insisted upon my trying the same remedy that cured him, but actually went out and purchased some of il and administered it with his own hands. ] did not notice any special effect for seyera days, but soon saW that It &Ss behehtins me, and within fortnight I was able tc leave the house. felt that exercise would be good thing for me and so took 8 wall each day and found my strength increasing constantly, SO much SO that walked entirely across the Brooklyn bridge on the first day ii was opened, being really the first foot passenger that tresssd that structure, all oi which ] wss enabled to do by means of WArner's Safe Rheumatic Cure, which restored me to perfect health and keeps me in excellent and proper condition today"
 And was the friendly tip your friend gave you when you were sick in the form ot Warmers Safe Rhsnmatio Ctre what inspired the narse Of the play you are now starring
 ''Eo, I can hardly say it was, although J really know of no more friendly tip that could give the public than to cordially advise them in their suffering to use the same remedy that lifted me from the depths oi rheumatic agony"
 It has been estimated from careful statis ties that there are no less than four millions of people in America who are suffering al this season of the year from some form oi rheumatic difficulty. Why they will do SC when it can largely be avoided seems very l great mystery.
