Over the Cataract.

When the brave Stanly and his
tireless followers were pushing their
way into Central Africa, they came
one day, 10 the bank of mighty
river. Footsore and weary they
quickly launch their boats, and lad
rest and change in floating upon the
smooth surface of the stream.
soon, however, the watUhful eye of
the great explorer sees uumistakable
signs of the near presence of cata-
ract. The current grows swift, tiny
bubbles float by. The signal is given
to land, and the party seeks safety on
the low, shelving bank.
One daring spirit, however, pushes
his little canoe into the middle of the
stream and goes resolutely forward,
with the seeming intention Of finding
whether the river is navigable.
In vain his comrades shout and
gesticulate, rushing wildly along
the river bank in pursuit. Not I'M
ill the loud thunder of fallinlf water
breaks upon his ear does he attempt
to turn.
Alas, il IL too late.
The oars are wrenched from his
hands, the boat is tossed wildly about,
a mere atom in the seething waters,
aud in brief moment, which seems
an age to the lockers on, it is dashed
u pieces against huge Dowlder on
the very brink of irlghtful preci-
pice.
In vain our comrades, are kindly
warning us of our danger. Our COL
umns have often por rayed the fearful
sccu 'ge that surrounds us. Often
we near the expression rs this fear
full scourge more prevalent than in
olden times 2"

In Brutus and Julius Cesar's time,
In the dark ages, we read Ofpowerful
men being stricken down. The same
obstacles are met. The victim sue
cumbs to the disease. The recent
discoveries ofthe microscope have de-
veloped the zeal cause Of so many
terrible fatalities and brought out the
fact that many of the symptoms
which are called diseases are but
symptoms Of kidney disorder.
People do not die because Of the
kidney ulcerating and Destroying
their spinal column, but because the

Any honest practitioner will admit
that there is nothing laid down in the
Did or in the modern medical works
that is a specific for advanced kidney
disorder. His bigotry and code pre-.
vent him from publicly adopting any
preparation not discovered by his
Kind, and not recommended by his iu-
ftructors % or 30years before. lie
forgets that this ia progressive
world, and that most Of the q eat ell
ti6c and medical discoveries OF the
present day have been made outside
Of the medical profession. The
public, knowing these facts should
heed the warning and seek safety
from the great danger that surrounds
Them and look for help outside the
profession too bigJted AMI TOO self
reliant TO learn or concede that science
is outstripping their materia inedica
and leaving them ana their obsolete
methods far behind.
