A HEROIC DEED.
Surprising Even the Deeds Of Prowess of
Every Day-t Life,

y few months ago the country was
thrilled with the account of girl who,
at the risk of her life, when the wbirling |
food OF the swollen rivers was wrestling |
great bridges from their foundations,
skipped along the ties of u western rail
way, lantern in hand, AMI saved train
from certain destruction. The state of
Iowa awarded her Il suitable medal for
her h.arery. In this inst snCe it was IA
child who saved the lives of many adults,
but as a ruie, She life Of the child is in
the hands OF older persons.
In November, 1888, a little eight gear
old soa OF Danish parents was suffering
with dipitholia. The attack was not
severe, but he did not seem to rally after
the throat appeared perfectly we'll. Nau
sea, headache and low fever succeeded
the sore Throat, and two or three days
afterwards his limbs began to swell mys-
terously. The skin became very dly,
vomiting was frequent. nose bleed was
perSistcn, and nothing would stay il
his stomach. ut was evident to our
minds says Mrs. Thom is Schmidt, wife
of the vice-ronsui of Denmark, residing
at Netherwood. n j., that some mys-
| terious nalady was working ruin iii his
system. Our phys s;can said he mad the
terrible bright disease. To our sugges-
tiol that i certain preparation be tried,
| he made no objection. We gave him six
| doses Il day, two taaSpooniuls at Il Gose,
in sweetencd wate". 1t remained upon
his stomach, and within Il week there
was marked improvement. The bowels
became regular without the use of cath
articS, and the nausea diminished; in
three weeks there was IA su0sidence OF
the dropsy, and by tie middle Of May
the limbs were perfectly normal. He had
a good appetite, and could take three
pintS OF milk daily. BY the first of May
he was up, and though he had spent six
months in bed, he did not feel partcu
larly weak. In June he was out, feeling
perfectly well, and in July he weighed
eight pounds more than he did before lie
was taken sick. Today there is only
slight unfavorable condition in his sys-
TEN, and the physicians say we have
every reason To believe the child will be
perfectly we'll.
Mrs. Schmidt is certainly to be con
graduated on the good results which fol-
lowed the use OF Warmers safe cure, and
she says: 1--WE feel bound to make this
truly wonderful result known, and are
perfectly willing to have this letter pub
iished." Gratifying as is the result.
wrought, it is by no means singular, ~
thousands OF children, who seemed~Seak
and puny, have had their entire : e:lre
changed and their future assured by a
prompt use of the same preparation.
Such disorders are transmitted by nheIi-
tance, or arise from children's epidemic
diseases the evil effects of which often
prove fatal in later life. The secret of
the ill-Eealth of many children is that
their kidneys and liver are not perform
ing their natural work.
1t WAS a brave feat of the brave girl
who crossed the swollen stream on the
bridge to save the lives of the passengers;
but it is braver deed, and one worthy
of wider recognition which, seeing the
perlls awaiting childhood, free from pre-
judice, with a purpose only to save by
any effective means, preserves to US the
lives of our children.
