Over the Cataract.

When the brave Stanley and his tireless
! followers were pushing their way into Cen.
trail Africa, they came one day to the bank
OF mighty river. Footsore and weary
they quickly launch their boats, and find
rest ana change IN floating upon the smooth
surface OF the stream.
Soon, however, the watchful eye of the
| great explorer sees unmistakable signs Of
the near presence of a cataract. The eur
rent grows swift, tiny bubbles float by.
The signal is given to land, and the party
seeks safety on the low, shelving bank.
One daring spirit however, pushes his
little canoe into the middle of the stream
and goes resolutely forward, with the seem
ing intention OF finding whether the river
Is navigaba.
In vain his comrades shout and gesticu-
late, rushing wildly along the river bank
in pursuit. Not until the loud thunder Of
falling water breaks upon his ear does he
attempt TO turn.
Alas, 1t is too late.
The oars are wrenched from his hands,
the boat is tossed wildly about, a mere
atom in the seething waters, and in a brief
moment. which seems an age 10 the look

IN vain our comrades are kindly warning

In Brutus and julius Caesars time, In
the dark ages, we read of powerful men
being stricken down. The same obstacles
are met. The victim succumbs To the dis

many terrible fatalities and brought out
the TACT that many of the symptoms which

kidney disorder
People do not die because of the kidneys
ulcerating and destroying their spins,! col

ter Is not 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 a symptom.
Understanding this, the reason why

mon diseases is plain. It removes the
causes OF disease by putting the kidneys in
q healthy condition; enables them to per
form their functions and remove
the poisonous acids from the
blood; puriaes the blood and pre-
vents the poisonous matter coursing
through the system and attacking the
weaker organs and producing a malady
which the unsuspecting victim fears is,
and the heartless practitioner pronounces,

move the cause.
He avoids the real cause and keeps his
patient in ignorance because of his inabili-

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 code prevent him from publicly adopt
ing any preparation not discovered by his
kind, and not recommended by his instruct

this is progressive world, and that most
OF the great medical and scientific discov-
cries of the present day have been made
outside 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-reliant TO learn or concede that
science is outstrpping their materia medi-
ca and leaving them and their obsolete
methods far behind
