Lost in the Storm.

One OF our local editors clipped from q
leading magazine extracts from a vivid de-
scrlption OF western blizzard which we
have taken the liberty to publish and 1T the
same tune suggest to Fl. Fl. Warner & Co..
the proprietors of the celebrated Warmers
Safe Cure, the feasibility of taxing there
from an extract fer the Introduction of one
of their telling advertisements. The fol
lowing is the description:
AT the close of a dark day in January a
solitary horseman wends his way across the
open prairie in one of our western terri
torres. 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 q storm is
approaching, and one of them, with true
western hospitality, urges him to find shell
ter in his cabin for the night. But he de-
clines the proffered kindness and urges his
tired horse forward. < The Sky grows
suddenly dark. = He decides to seek
shelter. The storm increases in it's
fury. The rider dismounts to warm
his fast chilling limbs. Can scarcely
breathe. Blindness comes on. Drowsiness
steals over him. The end is near. y
He is lost in the blizzard"
There is no doubt that the terror which
SEXES the bewlldered traveller is similar to
that which overcones one when he learns

the last stages of Bright's disease. At first
he is informed that he has Il slight kidney

ness. Rheumatic and neuralgia pains. Oc-

Gradual failure of strength.
Any of the above symptoms signify Kid

it is but q symptom of Kidney trouble. He
may be treated for rheumatic or neural gic
pains, heart affection, or any other disease
which he is most susceptible to. Finally
the patient has putting under the eyes, slight

clan may inform him that it is but the &C.

of proper exercise.
The bloat continues and reaches his body.
Then he is informed he has dropsical

formed that he has slight attack OF
Brights Disease. Soon his friends are
notified that his is advanced case of
Brights Disease, and that he can live but
short time His honorable and dignitied
physician asks for counsel. It 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 he
knows full well that the profession acknowl-
edge 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 a dropsical tendency, and the patient dies
from aYarleXy, paralysis, pneumonia or
heart trouble. Or it may take the form of
blood poisoning. In each form the end IS
the same. And yet he and his friends were
warned by the proprietors of the celebrated
remedy known as Warmers Safe Cure, of
the lurking dangers of q slight Kidney
affection.
The newspapers have published the dan
gers. Columns of facts have been printed
of men dying from advanced Kidney Dis
ease or Brghts Disease. His friends and
physician look around with horror and re-
grer for seeming neglect, but he is lost. He
did not heed the warning that storm was
approaching. He declined the proffered
hospitality, and went reczlessly forward
time, but his strength failed, and he grew
gradually weaker and he was lost to the
world. Not in Il blizzard, but from the ter
ribie malady which is almost daily occurring
in every community, and which is doctored
as symptom instead of what it is,-a
mortal disease unless properly treated.
