LOST THE STORM.

One Of our local editors clipped from a
leading magazine extracts from q vivid
description of western blizzard which we
hare taken the liberty to publish and at
the same time suggest to II. 81. Warner s,
Co., the proprie;nrs of the celebrated War
ner's Safe Cure, the feasibility of taking
therefrom an extract for the introduction
of one of their telling advertisements The
following is the description:
"At the close of dark day in January a
solitary horseman wends his way across
the open prairie in one of our western ter
ritories. He passes at long intervals the
lone cabin of the hardy fronriersman. Two
or three old settlers of whom he has in
quired the way, have warned him that a
storm is approaching, and one of them.
with true western hospitality, urges him
to find shelter in his cabin for the night
But he declines the preferred kindness and
urges his tired horse forward. The
sky grows suddenly dark. He
decides to seek shelter.
The storm increases in its fury.
The rider dismounts to warm his fast
chilling limbs. Can scarcely breathe
Blindness comes on. Drowsiness steals
over him. The end is near. He is
lost in the blizzard"
There is no doubt that the terror which
seiZes the bewileered traveller is similar to
that which overcomes one when he learns
that he is suffering from an advanced
Kidney Disease. and is informed that be is
in the last stages of Bright's Disease. At
first he is informed that he has slight
kidney affection. Later he begins to feel
tired. Slight headache. Tickle appetite.
Failure of the oversight Cramp in the
calf of the legs. Wakefulness. Distress
ing nervousness. Rheumatic and nueralgic
pains Occasional pain in the back
sensation. Gradual failure of strength.
Any of the above symptoms signify Kid
ney Affection, but he is told that he Is all
right. His physician treats him for symp-
toms and calls it a disease when in reality
it is but symptom of Kidney trouble He
may be treated for Rheumatic or Neuralgia
pains, heart affection. or any other disease
which he is most susceptible to. Finally
the patient has putting under the eyes
slight bloating of the ankles and legs. His
physician may inform him that it is but the
accumulation of blood in his ankles for
want of proper exercise.
The bloat continues and reaches his
body.
Then he is informed that he has dropsi-
cal troubles, and is tapped once or twice.
He notices it Is difficult TO breathe owing
to irregular action of the heart. and finally
Bright's Disease. Soon his friends are noti-
fled that his is an advanced case of Brig hts
Disease, and that he can live but short
time. His honorable and dignitied pbysi-
clan asks for counsel. 1t is too late.
Still he sticks to the old family physician.
and the physician knows and has known
from the beginning that the patient has
been stricken with death for months, for
he knows full we'll that the profession
acknowledge that they have no remedy for
the cure of kidney disease.
AT last the patient sutfocates-is smoth-
ered-and dies from dropsical trouble. Or
perhaps the disease may not take the form
of dropsical tendency and the patient
heart trouble Or it may take the form OF
blood poisoning. In each form the end is
the same. And yet he and hi friends
were warned by the proprietors of the Gel
ebrated remedy known as Warmers Safe
Cure of the lurking dangers of slight
kidney affection.
The newspapers have published the dan
gers. Columns of facts have been printed
Of men dying from advanced kidney dis
ease or Bright's disease His friends and
physician look around with horror and re-
greet for seeming neglect, but he is lost
He did not heed the warning that a storm
was approaching. He declined the prof
fered hospitality, and recklessly went for
ward into danger. He struggled manfully
for a time, but his strength failed, he grew
gradually weaker and he was lost to the
world. Not in blizzard. but from the
terrible malady which is almost daily &C.
curing in every community, and which is
doctOred as symptom instead of what it
is-a mortal disease unless properly
treated.
