When the day OF the trial came
held close in DR.. Endicott's arms the
child told the great men OF the cOun-
Gil how her head had ached and she
could not play for dizziness all that
terrible morning, and how Elspeth

give her the fever. The doctor told
that in searching far for the cause of
the fever he had found leak in the
drain of the great dye factory on the
hill. so that the poison OF the color

stream running through the center of

he led them both to his home that

BTqhfs Disease of tho Kidneys.

Will Pe-ru-na cure Bril- ght's Disease
of the Kidneys? The best answer to
this question that can be made is the
testimony of the thousands of patients
who have been cured by it. A single
demonstration of fact is worth many
theories concerning it. The following
letter is specimen of what we are re-
ceiving from this class of patients.

that sections proposing to pre-
pare such advertising matter
for distribution in the east in
regard to the inducements
they have to offer the farmer,
the business man and investor,
should begin to get their ad-
vertising in shape at as an

be able to give valuable point

editors of the papers along
our line should begin agitating
the matter in order that the
people may be prompted to do
more or less individual work

ABOUT ADJECTIVES.
Use Good. Strong Words, but Don't Over
do the Business.

Use Good. Strong Words. But Don't Over
do the Business.
Adjectives are the trouble. They
have SO decreased in intensity from
over-usage that it takes an adjective ten
times the power now to express the
meaning desired. Rapturous and bliss
full mean about as much as very nice"
and Extremely enjoyable" used to do.
But 1 shall never sound dirge for
''enjoyable." 1t is one of the worst
and weakest of qualifiers and ought
never to be heard. 1t is misnomer,
too, for when you say an evening was
enjoyable, you mean that it was en-
joyed. PLEASANT" is weak, too, and so
is warm" as applied to weather. The
sun is hot when it shines in summer,
and warm weather." like warm
water" is emetical in it's very sound.
Strong Saxon words of every descrip-
ton are best, and vigorous adjectives
are especially SO. Vigorous, however,
does not mean overdone or anti-clima-
teal. The adjective elegant" misap-
piled, appears to have had its day, and
gone out, in the inelegant circles in
which it did such hard service. Every
thing which met with appreciation,
from sunset to plate of soup, was
elegant to certain class In En-
gland Americans are credited with
real elegant" which, l am happy to
say, have never had the pain of hear
ing. Real nice'' and "real pleasant
are still heard in the rural districts, but
the city intensatives have crept in with
the railways and displaced the old
timers somewhat.
Men use few adiectives, as rule
men of mature years, that is, not the
freshmen or the early cigarette man
while women of all ages employ great
many with which to weaken their
speech. Ladies' are also lavish in ad-
verbs, which it is the latest fancy in
speech to use appropriately, for fun.
II promised to do so-and-so, which l

direct importations from the British

in its perverted meaning of rather is
no longer correct, am glad to say.
This Anglicism is a decided improve
ment. Quite a pleasant evening, that
mawkish form of expressing enjoyment,
nobody with social pretensions would
dare to be heard uttering nowadays;
