lost IN the Storm.
One Of our local editors clipped from
leading magazine extracts from vivid de-
scriptiou Of western blizzard which we
have taken the liberty 10 publish aud at the
same time suggest to a. H. Warner q Co.,
the proprietors of the celebrated Warmers
Safe Cure, the feasibility of taking there
from an extract for the introduction Of one
Of their telling advertisements. The fol-
lowing is the description:
AT the close of dark day in January
solitary horseman wends his way across the
open prairie in one of our western terri
torres. He passes at long intervals the lone
cabin OF the hardy frontersman. Two or
three old settlers, Of whom he has inquired
the way, have warned him that q storm Is
approaching, and one Of them, with true
western hospitality, urges him to find shell
ter in his cabin for the night But he de-
clines the profferaa kindness and urges his
tired horse forward. $50 The sky grows
suddenly dark. ~ He decides to seek
shelter. SO The storm increases in its
fury. 80 = Tho rider dismounts to warm
his fast chilling limbs. 80 Can scarcely
breathe. Blindness comes on. Drowsiness
steals over him. The end is near. 800
He Is lost in the blizzard"
There is no. doubt that the terror which
seizes the be@rldered traveller is similar to
that which oyercomes one when he learns
that he is suffering from an advanced Kid
ney Disease, and is Informed that he is in
the last stages Of Bright's disease. At first
he is informed that he has a slight kidney
affection. Later he begins to feel tired
Slight headache. Tickle appetite. Failure
of the eye-siNht. Cramp In the calf OF the
L. "-l~ ~k.~l- r,s<
ness. Rheumatic and neuralgia pains. Oc-
colored fluids, with scaiding 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 aud calls it a disease, when in reality
it is but q 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 physi-
| clan may inform him that it Is but the &C.
cumulation OF blood in his ankles for want
of proper exercise
| The bloat continues and reaches his body.
| Then he Is informed he has dropsical
troubles, and is tapped once or twice. He
notices it is difficult to breathe owing to ir-
| regular action of the heart, and finally is in
| formed that he has o slight attack Of
| Bright's Disease. Soon his friends are
notified that his is an advanced case of
Bright's Disease, aud that he can live but q
short time. His honorable and dignified
physician 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 well that the profession acknowl.
edge they have no remedies for the cure Of
Kidney Disease.
At last the patient suffocates-is smoth
ered-and dies from dropsical trouble. o.
perhaps the disease may not take the form
of a dropsical tendency, and the patient dies
from apoplexy, paralysis, pneumonia OF
heart trouble. Or it may take the form o.
/ blood poisoning In each form the end II
the same. And yet he and his friends were
warned by the proprietors of the celebrated
remedy known as Warmers Safe Cure, o.
the lurking dangers Of q slight Kidney
affection.
j The newspapers have published the dan
gers Columns of facts have been printet
OF men dying from advanced Kidney Dis
ease or Bright's Disease. His friends AMI
physician look around with horror and re
greet for seeming neglect but he Is lost. II
did not heed the warning that storm wa
approaching. He declined the prohere(
hospitality, and went recklessiy forwars
into danger. He struggled manfully for
time, but his strength failed, and he grey
| gradually weaker and he was lost to tn
! world. Not in a blizzard, but from the ter
rible malady which is almost daily occurring
in every community, and which is doctore
as a symptom instead of what it isl
mortal disease unlessproperly treated.
