The ounce of Prevention.

Under the above heading the New York
 World of February 10th contains an edito-
 rial of which the following are few ex-
 tracts:
 Physicians and unprofessional men of
 sense agree that if people would take little
 of the pains to prevent disease that they do
 to have it cured that the civilized world
 would be much less like vast hospital than
 it is now. < But the idea of
 regular and stated physical examination,
 even of persons who are apparently well, is
 an excellent one. The approaches of pull.
 monary complaints, kidney troubles, and many of the other ills that flesh is heir to,
 are so insidious as nos to be apparent to their victim. In nothing is it truer than in disease that 'an ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure.'"
 There is great deal of wisdom in what the World remarks. Individuals, as rule, do not give their physical welfare attention, of disease itself-the consciousness of fail ing strength-that attention is given to such matters.
 Much has been said and written in recent years concerning the extreme and oftentimes | fatal danger which results from delay in the treatment of kidney diseases.
 | Physicians admit that they cannot control advanced disease in those organs, and it Is doubtful whether they can control it in any stage without the assistance of War ner's Safe Cure, which IS established as the only known means which will reliably pre- vent and cure this class of disease. Besides, it has been definitely ascertained that kidney disease is the real cause of ill health in most cases where consumption, heart, brain or nervous disorders are supp posed to exist, and in consequence of such belief many fatal mistakes have been com mitted by our best physicians in treating such disorders, which are but the symptoms of the disease, whilst they have allowed the real disease-disease of the kidneys, to es- cape their notice until too late. There is no safer or surer way by which health can be preserved and disease averted than the occasional use of Warmers Safe Cure, which will benefit the s'engines of life, "-the kidneys, even if they are in a normally healthy state; while the good that will result in case disease is threatened, or is already present, cannot be over-estimated. The most careful examination made by 8 skillful physician sometimes is unreliable, since this class of disease is extremely de- captive, and seldom openly manifests itself until the unsuspecting sufferer is beyond as- distance

First Prices Show Declines and the Market Closes quiet and Firm at Irregular Changes for the Day.

Irregular Changes for the Day. SKw YORK, April 12 Stocks opened with spurt but this soon died away and the market was for the most part quiet to dull with short periods of animation throughout the day First prices showed declines extending to N per cent. and these losses further increased by small fractional declines in the early dealings. The fluctuations however, were entirely insignif- cant until after Il o'clock when buying movement set in which largely increased the amount of busi done and advanced qu otations all over the list and with the grangers leading almost everything was brought up to above opening. This was fol- lowed by dullness and comparative stagnation which lasted until toward 2 o'clock when the list showed sagging tendency and pressure being brought upon Atchison that stock declined consid' erably. Tho buying began again later aud the market closed quiet and firm at irregular changes for the day Several of the specialties made mark ed movements during the day.
 Memphis and Charleston very prominent, scoring final gain Of 2A per cent, and was fol lowed by Pittsburg and Western and Colorado Coal. In the unlisted department Sugar Trust made further advance at first. but became fever ish and finally lost all of the i'm provement. Burps wick was less active, but scored a slight advance The decision of Judge Wallace that the overhead wires must come down caused some movement in Western Union and Manhattan, but the final changes in those are insignificant.
 Railroad bonds were fairly active, but the busi- ness was very widely distributed among an unusu. ally large number of issues, although Shenandoah Valley furnished $164 900 and the A. and P. 4s $114Oc0 to the days sales of $1, ,s12 900.

 H. D. Smith & Go. some time ago began experimenting with petroleum as 8 fuel for furnaces in their forge shops, and they are well suited with the scheme, claiming that it gives them a saving of fifty per cent. in fuel, and also an additional one in labor.

The National Complaint.

Thomas J. Riley, 524 West Sixty-first street, N. Y., writes:
 I had very severe attacks of dyspepsia, ac- companied with wind and pains in the side and stomach. Everything I ate disagreed with me, and I lost flesh daily. Internal medicine only afforded me temporary relief. I commenced applying Allcoek's Porous Plasters, one on the pit of the stomach and one below, just above the navel. In very few hours my pains very much abated. In two days my food appeared to agree with me. At the end of a week was nearly well, but continued wearing the Plasters as a precaution have used altogether six Plas- ters, and must say they are the cheapest and best medicine ever invented
