eve call this; an age of progress
and SO in veryFlflany respects 1t is, but
do not hesitate to declare most en-
phatically, that in many things that
constitute TRUE happiness we are sim
ply children. Let us see; We are start
led constantly by the sudden death Of
some man who seemed the picture OF
health. He thought he was well. Oc-
casionally his appetite was poor, but
then in a few days afterward it was
ravenous. He felt strange pains shoot
ing through his body, but, us they did
not remain, he forgot them. His head
panied him periodically, he was some
what paler than common, and unac-
countably tired, but he felt compare
lively well and vigorous. And yet he
suddenly died! It is a shame to our
boosted civilization"
DR.. Hammond then instanced num-
Der of cases of persons well known to
him who had died in great agony, al
though they had experienced few SYM
toms and little pain, and continued:
"Why is it that so many little children
are to-day puny, stunted, and apparent
ly blighted for life? Because those
early and inevitable diseases, measels,
scarletina, etc., have SO weakened GER
tain organs that nature cannot do her
work, and the child languishes, perhaps
dies. Look at the list of women who
die in childbirth, and why is it! Sim
ply because their maternal organs have
been SO weakened by the most terrible
of all diseases that they cannot with
stand the fearful sudden strain that is
brought to bear upon them. How
many women escape monthly agOnies!
And yet nature never intended that
pain or inconvenience should attend
the operation of her natural laws. The
solemn and terrible fact is that men and
women drag along, die and are buried,
and their friends and the doctors say
heart disease, apoplexy, pneumonia,
CO digestion, commissions, when the cause
lay far back of these things, and was
Bright's disease of the kidneys. That
was the inward cause: these are the
outward manifestations. Every dis
else must have root, just as certainly
as every plant. Kidney disease is the
great root from which most modern
diseases, no matter what their name
may be, actually spring.
"But because the kidneys are so inn
portant, so delicate and SO powerful,
they require the greatest care in treat
ment. Ever since the day when DR..
Bright discovered the connection in
morbid outward symptoms and internal
decay, physicians. scientists and chem
lists have sought for a pure and power
full relief. 1t has been difficult, often
a fruitless search. Many remedies are
now before the public, but, SO far as
have been able to learn by chemical
analysis, and actual test, only one pos
sesses absolute merit and power. l
have seen number of cases, and learn
ed from UNREASONABLE sources of
many others, where the preparation,
Hunts Remedy has been almost re-
markable in it's results. One case in
particular was that of prominent
banker residing III New York, whose
council that city could produce, declar-
ed his case to be hopeless, and who was
afterward restored to perfect health by
The means l have named. l have not
nesitated to use it freely among my pa
tents, and from the results l have Sc
cured, | shall continue to do So"
The doctor explained how men and
women should live in order to meet
his terrible malady, and instanced sew
eral additional cures which had follow
I'd the use of the remedy before referred
10. In concluding he said:
eff men and women could only be
aroused to a realization of their actual
hanger; to sense of what is before
hem unless they take prompt and prop
II action, and then by correct course
If life and the use of just the right
means seek to prolong their lives, most
If the present suffering and untimely
leaths might and would be avoided"
