Lost in the Storm,

One of our local editors clipped rom q
leading magazine extracts from a vivid
description of western blizzard which
we have taken the liberty to publish and
at the same time suggest to H.W. Warner
d Co., the proprietors of the celebrated
Warmers Safe Cure, the feasibility of
taking therefrom an extract for the intro
duotion of one of their telling advertise
ments. The following is the description
"At the close of sark day in January
solitary horseman wends his way across
the open prairie in one of our western
territories. He passes at long intervals
the lone cabin of the hardy frontiersmap.
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. 4 4
The sky grows suddenly dark. 4 *
He decides to seek shelter. 4 The
storm increases in fury. The
rider dismonnts to warm his fast chilling
limbs. X Can scarcely breathe.
Blindness comes on. Drowsiness steals
over him. The end is near. He
is lost in the blizzard"
There is no doubt that the terror which
seizes the bewlldered traveller is similar to
that which overoomes 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 dIseast. At first
he is informed that he has slight kidney
affection. Later he begins to feel tired.
Slight headache. Tickle appetite. Failure
of the eye-sight. Cramp in the calf of
the legs. Wakefulness. Distressing nerv-
business. Rheumatic and neuralgia pa ms.
Occasionally pain in the back. Scanty,
dark colored fluids, with scalding seasa-
ton. 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
symptoms and calls it disease, when in
reality it is but a symptom of Kidney
trouble. He may be treated for Rheu-
matte or Neuralgia pains, heart affection,
or any other disease which he is most sus-
ceptible to. Finally the patient has puff
ing under the eyes, slight bloating of the
ankles and legs. His physician may in.
fern him that it is but the accumulation
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
irregular action of the heart, and finally
is informed that he has 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
short time. His honorable and digni6ed
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
acknowledge they have no remedies for
the cure of Kidney Disease.
At last the patient suffocates-is smoth
ered--and dies from dropsical trouble. Oh
perhaps the disease may not take the form
of dropsical tendency, and the patient
dies from apoplexy, paralysis, pneumonia
or heart trouble. Or it may take the form
of blood poisoning. In each form thu
end is the same. And yet he and his
friends we're warned by the proprietors 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 Kidney Disease OIL
Bright's Disease. His friends and physi
clan look around with horror and regret
for seeming neglect, but he is lost. he
did not heed the warning that storm wal
approaching. He declined the profferet
hospitality, and recklessly went forward
into danger. He struggled maufully fol-
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 oc'
curing in every community, and which is
dootOred as symptom instead of what it
is-a mortal disease unless properly
treated.
