A Remarkable Experience
Mr.. H. ROBERTSON
SAVED
FROM AN UNTIMELY DEATH.

Mr.. H Robertson, native of Scotland, but
who has been o resident of this country for sew
eral years, has been a victim of kidney disease
with the following symptoms: He had heavy
dragging pain across the small of his back, ex-
tending from one side to the other, and a bloat-
ed, dropsical condition Of the bowels. high col
ored urine and he noticed that sometimes it
contained a reddish, brick-colored sediment
and at other times the sediment was OF light
ish color. He noticed that he felt very tired in
the morning and as he gradually grew weaker,
his stomach became affected. His appetite
became poor. and he was constantly annoyed
with sour eructations Of gas from his stomach
performing their function properly, his blood
became charged with rheumatic poison, SO that
he had much pain about his shoulders and diff
ferent parts of his body. As he became more
emaciated he began to cough, and he felt much
tightness and weight across his lungs. In
speaking of the matter one day, he said
II doctored with the best doctors Icould hear
of, but was fast getting worse. l became mel
ancholy and thought could not live. Finally
I began treatment with the physicians of the
Polypathic Medical Institute, who are special

to the bed when 1 commenced their treatment,
my improvement was very rapid, and / have
been entirely cured by these physicians. and

BRAIN CONSUMPTION,

The pressure upon tile brain which modern
civilization and competition cause. is most GER
tainly bringing about almost an epidemic of
Paresis Consumption of the .brain). When
man or woman is afflicted with consumption
Of the lungs. physician can readily determine
the fact by testing the lungs When any indi-
vidual Ia attacked by consumption OF the kid
neys (Bright's disease), the fact can be easily
ascertained by chemical tests. but when any
man or woman is attacked by Paresis Icon-
sumption of the brain), there is no known way,
except through certain actions and symptoms,
whereby It can be known. These symptoms. in
brief, are restlessness, feverish feeling. sleep
lessness periodic headaches, dizziness, dimness
of vision, ringing in the ears. difficulty in think
ing. trouble in remembering names and the
faces even of friends. The victim of Paresis is
often shocked or annoyed by little noises and
trifing things. The nervous system Is frequent
ly in such condition that very slight causes, or
even no cause at all, may excite to sudden out
bursts of anger. A feeling OF pressure upon
the brain is frequently followedby seasons of
despondency, mental depression alternating
with periods of wild, Elusive hopes. When the
brain begins to consume or decay many OF these
symptoms become aggravated. The world
seems strange or different from what It was in
the past; thought becomes positive effort and
life an intense burden.
Too often the victim of this great modern
disease seeks to overcome these symptoms by
stimulants. Nothing could be more injurious.
The system needs soothing, toning and building
up. Something unusual is demanded. And
here is where the great difficulty has always
been-to find something pure and yet positive
in its results, The late Prof. Phelps, of Dart
mouth College, realized this when he began his
investigations which resulted in the discovery
of Paine's Celery Compound he knew men
and women required something heretofore un-
known to the world, and his discovery has fur
nished 1t. This compound checks Paresis, even
after it has secured a hold on the system.
Taken on the approach Of the first symptoms,
it will positively prevent their. increase. Its
high Endorsements by the medical fraternity
and the cures it is effecting easily account for
its wonderful popularity and the unusual stir 1t
has caused in this community.

Albert York Smith, Esq, who has been
appointed to conclude the unfinished busi-

hearing yesterday in the Carrier & Baum
case. Though, as will be seen below from
Judge Acheson's ruling, Assignee Arthurs
is sustained, yet there will be something
left for creditors, but whether enough to
pay them wages for time spent in court is
perhaps doubtful.
The hearing at Mr.. Smith Office was well
attended. L. B. Duff, the present assignee,
gave statement of what money he had col
lected, liabilities, debts proven, etc. Mr..
Baum's petition for S12, 900 allowance was
discussed and laid over until next meeting.
Assignee Duff submitted his bill for serv-
ices, $4,000, and it met with favorable con-
sideration from the creditors. Though the
amount claimed from Arthurs is almost
whitfield away, the assignee has 81, 900 in
his hands
