1T is fact that many of the best
proprietary medicines ,of the day,
said the late DR.. j. q. Holland in
Scribner's Magazine, 'or most of
them were first discovered or used in
actual medical practice. When, how
ever, any shrewd person, knowing
their virtue and foreseeing their popu-
larity, secures and advertises them, in
opinion of the bigoted all virtue went
out of them" Failure of eyesight,
tickle appetite, headache, extreme
wakefulness, frequent desire to urinate
especial y at night, gradual failure of
strength and dropsical swelling
these are symptoms of kidney disease.
If you neglect the symptoms you will
eventually have Brights Disease.

which has ever been discovered for
this disease. The late DR.. Dio Lewis,

Cancer

is form of blood poison which is not
understood by the medical profession
as to its real nature and character,
but it is evidently hereditary in its ma
ture. 1t may accidentally develop it
self without any predisposition or ev-
idence of such existing poison. The
knife or caustic salves have hereto
fore been the so-called remedies for it,
but all honest practitioners will tell
you that this treatment fails to cure,
and only hastens fatal results. Thou
sands of cases of epithelioma (skin)
cancers, and great many cases of
scirrhus cancers, have been entirely
cured by the use of Swift's Specific.
1t forces the poison out through the
cancer itself, and the pores of the skin.

LILACS-A VISION OF SPRING,
I've seen the pussy willows
With dainty furry faces;
I've found the pretty violets
Abloom in shady places;
The jonqull and the crocus
Have told me of the spring,
And in the orchard up and down
Has glanced the bluebird's wing,
But here's the purple lilac
That lifts its fragrant plumes,.
And sends watt of sweetness
Through homely cottage rooms,
Its hardy branches tapping
Against the larm.h house caves,
The flowers it gives us growing
In generous waving sheayes.
I'm sure the mother robin
Is very glad to see
The lilacs screen about her
Wee nest and iedgelings three,
And father wren is singing
In pure delight to-day
That spring is here already
And summer on the way
And am glad our Father,
Whose love is over all '',,.
Who counts the stars by number,
And sees sparrow fall,
Has sent again the liacs
To make the garden fair,
And wait their honeyed sweetness
Upon the wandering air.

Cabbage is, perhaps. one of the most
difficult Of vegetables to raise in the
average kitchen garden, though some,
owing to favored locality or good under
standing of culture, have no trouble with
it. In many localities the man who can
grow plenty Of nice heads ian sell them
at good profit. The crop should be
grown quickly, which, explains Popular
Gardening, means rich soil, an early
start and frequent hoeing. The com

what lessened by shortening the time Of
heading. Buhach is the complete remedy
