Over the Cataract.

When the brave Stanley and his tireless
followers were pushing their way into Gen.
raj Africa, they came one day to the bank
II mighty river. Footsore and weary,
hey quickly launch their boats, and lind

surface Of the stream.
Soon, however, the watchful oye OF the
great explorer sees unmistakable signs
# the near presence of q cataract The
current grows swift, tiny bubbles float by.
rhe 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 midi ,e Of the stream
and goes resolutely forward. with the seem
ng intention of finding whether the river is
nayigable.
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 wlldly about, 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 a huge
bowider on the very brink of Q 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
as this fearful scourge more prevalent
than in Clden timesf'
We say ''No.n
In Brutus and julius Caesars time, in the
dark ages, we read Of powerful men being
stricken doTn. The same obstacles are
met. The victim succumbs 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 out symptoms of kidney disorder.
People do not die because OF tho kidneys

ny . a.4 , the poisonous waste mat
- No 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 a disease, when in
reality it is but symptom.
Understanding this, the reason why
| Warmers Safe Cure cures so many common
diseases is pain. 1t removes the causes Of
disease by putting the kidneys in a healtf Y
condition; enables them to perform tleir
functions and remove the poisonous acids
from the blood; purifies the blood and pre-
vents the poisonous matter cOursing
through the system and attacking the
weaker organs and producing a malay
which the unsuspecung victim fears is, and
the heartless practitioner pronounces, a
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 a specific
| for advanced kidney disorder. His bigotry
and c5de prevent him from publicly adopt
! ing any preparation not discovered by his
kind and not recommended by his instruc-
tors % or 80 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
and too self-reliaut to learn or concede that
science is outstripping their materia medica
and leaving them and their obsolete methods
/ far behind
