II the men, women and children OF
America could see the danger that is Turk
ing around them each day and on every
side, the most courageous would lose heart,
appetite and sleep. Air, even in the most
open localities, 10 loaded with poison. Water
10 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 i'm
minent. 1t ispcrhaps merciful provision
that few of these things are seen and fewer
realized, but their danger Is all the greater
tor this very reason. Most people who read
these lines are almost certainly on the
threshold Of what may be . serious, posi-
bly, fatal danger. The forces that 60 to
make life may be snapped instantly or by
gradual degrees. The greatest dangers are
often the most silent and least observed,
and no ono can afford to neglect even their
slightest appearance.
These truths were strikingly illustrated
in the experience CT gentleman we'll known
to most Of the American public. Mr.. W..
Ferguson, who in the play, "A Friendly
Trip" under the management of Mr.. W.
W. Kelly, has been making such pro-
nounced success, is perhaps the best light
comedian on the stage. He 10 a gentleman

hard and conscientiously in the past, and

But for number Of years, and indeed up
to comparatively short. time, Mr.. FerRu-
son was moot mystsriouslv afflicted, 80
much go, that he refused numerous tempt
ing offers to travel through the country a
fer a. California, and played only in New
York city and vicinity. Speaking to . rep

he said:

silently but surely working against my life.
At times would feel shooting pains in
my extrenities, and then again my muscles
and JOINTS would fairly throb with agony.
I was feverish, uneasy and lost my ambi-
ton and interest in life. These troubles
grew until what were at first minor pains
and annoyances became actual burdens Of
agony. 1t seemed a. though I could feel
the disease growing and creeping to every
portion Of my body. If I had been careful
in the beginning, might, perhaps, have
overcome what afterwards became 30 seri.

"Well, during the time of my sickness I
received very many calls from friends, and,
among others, from one who was fully able
to sympathize with me Is he had been
through similar experience to the one I
was then enduring. He described his case
infinitely, and not only insisted upon my
trying the same remedy that cured him,
but actually went out and purchased some
of it and administered it with his own
hands. l did not notice any special effect
for several days, but soon saw that it was
benefitting me, and within fortnight ! was
able to leave the house. I felt that exer-
