Over the Cataract.

When the brave Stanley and his
tireless followers were lpushing their
way into Central Africa, they came
one day to the bank of mighty
river. Footsore and weary they
quickly launch their boats, and find
rest and change i'm floating upon the
smooth surface of the stream.
Soon, however, the watchful eye OF
the great explorer unmistakable signs
of the near presence OF cataract
The current grows swift, tiny bub-
bles 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 find
ing whether the river is navigable.
In vain his comrades shout and
gesticulate. rushing wildly along the
river bank i'm pursuit. Not until the
loud thunder of falling water breaks
upon his ear does he attempt to turn.
Alas. it is too late.
The oars are wrenched from his
hands, the boat is tossed wildly
about, mere. atom in the seethlng
waters, and i'm brief moment, which
seems an age TO the lockers on, it Is
dashed to pieces against huge bowl
der on the very brink OF frightful
precipice.
In vain our comrades are kindly
warning us of our danger. Our col
umns have often portrayed the fear
full scourge that surrounds us. Often
we hear the expression rs this fear
full scourge more prevalent than in
olden timesg
We say No"
In Brutus and julius Caesars time,
in the dark age, we read of powerful
men being stricken down. The same
obstacles are met. The victim sue
cumbs to the disease. The recent
discoveries of the microscope has de-
veloped the real cause OF so many ter
rible fatalitiee and brought out the
are called diseases are but symptoms
of kidneys disorder.
People do not die because of the
kidneys ulcerating and destroying
their spinal column, but because the
poisonous waste matter is not extract
ed from the blood as it passes through
the kidneys, the only blood purify
ing organs, but remains, forcing its
way through the system, attacking
the weakest organ.
The doctors called this disease, when
in reality it is but symptom.
Understanding this, the reason why
Warmers Safe Cure cures so many
common diseases is plain. 1t removes
the causes of disease by putting the
kidneys in a healthy condition; ena-
bles them to perform their functions
and remove the poisonous acids
from the blood; purifies the blood and
prevents the poisonous matter cours-
ing through the system and attack
ing the weaker organs and produc-
ing a malady which the unsuspecting
victim fears is, and the heartless
practitioner pronounces, u disease, be-
cause of his inability TO remove the
cause.
He avoids the real cause and keeps
his patient in ignorance because of
his inability to cope with an advanced
kidney difficulty.
Any honest practitioner will admit
that there is nothing laid down in
the old or in the modern medical
works that is specific for advanced
kidney disorder. His bigotry and
code prevent him from publicly adopt
ing any preparation not discovered
bv his kind, and not recommended
bv his instructors % or 30 years be
fore. He forgets that this is pro-
gressive world, and that most of the
great scientific and medical discover
les 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 bigoted and
too self-reliant to learn or concede
that scence is outstripping their
materia medica and leaving them and
their obsolete methods far behind.
