Over the Cataract.

When the brave Stanley and his tireless
followers were pushing their way into Cen.
trail Africa, they came one day 70 the bank
Of mighty river. Footsore and weary
they quickly launch their boats, and ind
rest and change In floating upon the smooth
surface Of the stream.
Soon, however, the watchful eye OF the
great explorer sees unmistakable signs oil
the near presence Of cataract. The cur
rent grows swift, tiny bubbles float by
The signal is given 10 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 naygable.
In vain his comrades shout and gesticu- ).
late, rushing wildly along the river bank
in pursuit Not until the loud thunder OF
falling water breaks upon his ear does he
attempt 10 turn.
Alas, IL is too late
The oars are wrenched from his hands,
the boat is tossed wildly about mere
atom in the seethiug w teIs, and in a brief
moment. which seems an age TO the look
ers on, it is dashed 10 pieces against huge
bowlder on the very BRINK OF irighttul
precipice.
In vain our comrades are kindly warning
us OF our danger. Our columns nave often

In Brutus and Julius Cscsar's time, In
the dark ages, we read of powerful men

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 col

way through the system, attacking the
weakest organ.
The doctors call this a disease, when in
reality IL is but symptom.
Understanding this, the reason why

causes Of disease by putting the kidneys in
healthy condition; enables them To per

the poisonous ACIDS from the

Guilty.
Any honest practitioner will admit that
there is nothing laid down in the old or in
the modern medical works that is a specific
for advanced kidney disorder. His bigotry
and code preyent him from publicly adopt
ing any preparation not discovered by his
kind, and not recommended by his instruct

this is a progressive world, and that most
of the great medical and scientific discov-
cries Of the present day have been made
outside the medical profession.
The public, knowing these facts, should
heed the warnD nc and seek safety from the
great danger that surrounds Thorn and look
for help outside the profession too bigoted
and too selfreliant to learn or ooncede that
science is outstripping their nateria medi

methods far behind.
