Over the Cataract.

When the brave Stanley and his tireless
followers were pushing their way into Cen
tral Africa, they came one day to the bank
of a mighty river Footsore and weary,
they quickly launch their boats, and find
rest and change in floating upon the smooth
surface Of the stream.
Soon, however, the watchful eye Of the
great explorer sees unnistakable signs
Of the near presence of cataract. The
current 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 resolutey forward, with the SEEM
ing intention of finding whether the river il
navigable. ~.
In vain his comrades shout and gesticu-
late, rushing wildly along the river bank in
pursuit. Not until the loud thunder Of fall
ing water breaks upon his ear does he at
tempt to turn.
Alas, it is too late.
The oars are wrenched from his hands,
the boat is tossed wildly about, a mere atom
in the seething waters, and in brief mo-
ment, which seems an age to the lockers
on, it is dashed to pieces against huge
bowlder on the very brink of frightful
precipice.
In vain our comrades are kindly warning
US of our danger. These columns have often
portrayed the fearful scourge that sur
rounds US. Often we hear the expression
"Is this fearful scourge more prevalent
than in olden times2n
We say 'No.'
In Brutus and julius Cesar's time, in the
dark ages, we read of powerful men being
stricken down. The same obstacles are
met The victim succuufbs to the disease.
The recent discoveries of the microscope
has developed the real cause Of so many ter
rlble fatalities and brought out the fact that
many Of the symptoms which are called dis
eases are but symptoms of kidney disorder.
People do not die because Of the kidneys
ulcerating and destroying their spinal col
umn, but because the poisonous waste mat
ter is not extracted from the blood as it
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 a symptom.
Understanding this, the reason why
Warmers Safe Cure cures so many common
diseases is plain. It removes the causes of
disease by putting the kidneys in a healthy
condition; enables them to perform their
functions and remove the poisonous acids
from the blood purl6es the blood and pre-
vents the poisonous matter coursing
through the system and attacking the
weaker organs and producing a malady
which the unsuspecting victim fears is, and
the heartless practitioner pronounces,
disease, because Of his inability to remove
the cause.
He avoids the real cause and keeps his
patient in ignorance because of his ina
bility to cope with an advanced kidney diff
Guilty.
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 25 or 30 years before He forgets that
this is a progressive world, and that most
Of the great scientific and medical discov-
cries 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
aud too self-reliant to learn or concede that
science is outstrippng their materia medica
and leaving them and their obsolete methods
far behind.
