A few years ago it was very rare indeed TO
find any but old or middle aged people afflicted
with Kidney or Bladder Difficulties, but to-day
not only are these troubles precedent TO an
alarming exteat among the matured, but even
our children between and 2Oyears of age, ara
attacked and die suddenly from that insidious
DESTROYER of human life, Brights Disease. 1t
is but step from the ordinary, common Kid
ney disorder, to the more advanced Bright's
Disease, and it is the slight and early symptom
when neglected that leads to the fatal end,
hence extreme watehfulness is essential in or
der to see that the Kidneys are performing
their function work in the right manner and
to detect the first departure from health
Therefore it is the manifest duty of all TO in
vestigate and know what course to pursue and
what means to use.
A noted Physician trri,cs
have prescribed the great specific "Dr- Kill
mer's Swamp Rect Kidney. Liver and Bladder
Cure" in great many very, very bad cases
acute and chronicl and in every instance the
result was highly satisfactory. l have found
it 10 be a wonderful Inpigorating tonic in cases
of broken down constitutions; in incipient
stages of Briaht's Disease, diabetes and ~ tHdrg
troubles in general. In fact, In all my expert
ence of t,Usltp-fre pear s as an active physician
in City and Country, have never prescribed
any preparation that can compare with it, IL
taken occasionally it will keep the KtdneRs in a
hed' hucondtt0n and insure one against sud
den attack.

A Belgium Canal.

A canal has been constructed in Bel
GUM in which, instead of locks, the
boats are hoisted by elevators from
one level to another. The canal ex-
tends from the coal region in the in
terror of Belgium to Brussels, crossing
several other canals at the same grade,
SO that Belgian coal can be brought
directly by boat to Paris, as we'll as
the principal towns in Belgium and
Holland AS the line passes over a
rather hilly country, various accents
and descents must be made, and to
save the long delays incidental to pass
ing the locks the change of grade is
made by means of hydraulic ele-
vators. The boats, which measure
about seventy tons, are towed at the
low level into an immense tank, with
gates. which is submerged in the ca
nal The gates are then closed and
the tank, which rests on the pistons of
a huge hydraulic elevator, is raised to
the upper level, when connection
is made with the next section of the
canal by means of double gates and
the boat proceeds on its way.-Fire
