over the Cataract.

When the brave Stanley and his tlreless
followers were pushing their way into Cen.
trail Africa. they came one day, to the hank
of mighty river. Footsore and weary
they quickly launch their boats, and find
rest and change in floating upon the smooth
surface ofthe stream.
Soon, however, the watchful eye of the
great explorer sees unmislakable signs of
the near presence of cataract The cur
rent 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 SEEM
ing intention of finding whether the river is
navigable.
In vain his comrades shout and gesticu.
late, rushing wildly along the river bank
in pursuit. No. until the loud thunder of
falling waller breaks upon his ear does he
attempt TO turn.
Alas, il is too late.
The oars are wrenched from his hands,
the boat is tossed wildly about, mere atom
in the seething waters, and in brief
moment, which seems an age to the lockers
on, it is dashed TO pieces against huge
bowlder on the very brink ola frightful
precipice.
In vain our comrades are kindly warming
US of our dagger. Our columns have often
portrayed the fearful scourge that surrounds
US. Often we hear the expression "Is this
fearful scourge more prevalent than in olden
times?n
We say "No."
In Brutus and Julius Caesars time, in the
dark ages. We read of powerful men being
stricken down The same obstacles are met.
The victim succumbs to the disease. The
recent discoveries Of the microscope have de.
veloped the real 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 kidneys
ulcerating and destroying their spinal
column, but because the poisonous waste
matter is not extracted from the blood as il
passes through the kidneys, the only blood
purifying organs, but remains, forcing Its
way through the system, attacking The
weakest organ.
The doctors call 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
healthy condition; enables them to pc, form
their functions and remove the poisonous
acids from the blood purifes the blood and
prevents the poisonous matter coursing
weaker organs and producing malady
which the unsuspecting victim fears is, and
the heartless practitioner pronounces, a
disease, because 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 by his
kind, and not recommended by his instruc-
tors % or thirty years before. He forgets
that this is a progressive world, and that
most Of the great scientific and medical dis
coveries 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
science is outstrippipg their materia medica
and leaving them and their obsolete methods
