/ AUet tRe 6tOEm-
One of our local editors clipped from a
leading magazine extracts from a vivid
description of a western blizzard which
we have taken the liberty to publish and
at the same time suggest to II. Fl. War
ner & Co., the proprietors Of the cele-
brsted Warmers Safe Cure, the feasibii>
ty 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 horsemsn wends his way across
the open prairie in one of our western
territories. He passes at long intervals
the lone cabin Of the hardy frontiersman.
Two or three old settlers, of whom he has
inquired 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 proffered 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 bis fast chilling
limbs. Can scarcely breathe.

over him. The end is near. $50 He
is lost in the blizzard"
There Is no doubt that the terror which
seizes the 5ewildered traveller is similar TO
that which overcomes one when he learns
that he is suffering from an advanced kid
ney disease, and is Informed that he is in
the last stage of Bright disease. At first
he Is Informed that he has slight kidney
affection. Later he begins to feel tired.
Slight headache. Tickle appetite. Fail,
ure OF the eyesight. Cramp in the calf
OF the legs. Wakefulness. Distressing
nervousness. Rheumatic and neuralgic
pains. Occasionally pain in the back.
scanty, dark colored funds. with scaldipg
sensation. Gradual failure of strength.
Any Of the above symptoms signify
kidney affection. but he is told that he is
all right. His physician treats him for
symptoms and calls it disease. when in
reality it is but a symptom of kidney
trouble. He may be treated for rbeu-
matte or neuralgia pains, heart affection,
or any other disease which he is most
susceptible to. Finally the patient has
pulling under the eyes. slight bloating of
the ankles and legs. His physician may
inform him that it is but the accumula>
ton of blood in his ankles for want of
proper exercise.
The blost continues and reaches his
body. Then he is informed he has drop
steal troubles, and is tapped once or
twice. He notices it is difficult to breathe
owing TO irregular action of the heart,
and tinsllv is informed that he has a
slight attack of Bright's disease.
Soon his friends are notified thst
his is an advanced case OF Bright's
disease, and that he can live but
short time. His honorable AMI dignitied
physician asks for counsel. 1t is too late.
Still he sticks 10 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
acknowledge they have no remedies for
the cure of kidney disease.
AT last the patient suffocates-is smoth.
ered-and dies from dropsical trouble.
Or perhaps the disease may not take the
form of dropsical tendency. and the
patient dies from apoplexy, paralysis,
pneumonia or heart trouble. Or it NAV
take the form of blood poisoning In each
form the end is the same. And yet he
and his friends were warned BY the pro-
prietors OF the celebrated 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
disease or Brights disease. His friends
and physician look around with horror
and regret for seeming neglect, bat be is
lost. He did not heed the warning that
q storm was approaching. He declined
the proffered hospitality, and recklessly
went forward into danger. He struggled
manfully for 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 occurring in every commune
ity. and which is doctored as a symptom
instead OF what II is,-a mortal disease
unless properly treated.
