An American Discovery.


The present year will always be not a.
BILE one in the history of the 18th century
for the many wonderful discoveries it re-
cords. Every branch of science has made
great strides, the most remarkable, per-
hapS, have been made in the practice of
medicine. Now comes the information
that John Morrow an eminent chemist of
Springfield, o., has discovered a remedy
that promises to be almost infallible in
curing all diseases of the kidneys. So
many of the most important advances of
medical science are made by foreign sci
entists that such report is not only of
great import but highly gratifying as well
MOrrOw'S discovery, while the true in
gradients have not yet been published is in
the form of a yellow tablet and is known
to the medical world as Morrow's Kidne-
ODDS. This remarkable remedy has been
tried in some of the most severe cases of
chronic and acute diseases of the kidneys,
and in each case has quickly produced the
most beneficial results
The fact that death from Bright's dis
ease shows daily increase is an unpleas-
ant indication that disorder of the kidneys
is fast becoming an affection of the human
race, and any remedy that promises sure
relief is indeed blessing to mankind.
The symptoms of deranged kidneys are
too apparent to require a physicians di--
agnosis pain in the side and back, aching
bones. a continual feeling of languOr, are
followed by impaired vision, loss of appe-
tite, swelling of the hands and feet. and
SO on until Bright'S disease gets hold.
1t is so inSidiOuS in its attack that the
busy man or woman often associates the
symptoms with some trifiing ailment, I'M
til the development of the disease causes
a complete collapse. With MorrOws Kid
neOids it is intended to remedy all this by
enabling anyone to stop the progress of
the disease and effect a permanent cure
without resource to a physician or the
of their duties.
1t is said that one of the largest drug
concerns in the United States is negoti-
ating for the absolute control of MOrrOw's
kidneoids, which they intend placing in
ed by any one without the necessity of
securing physicians prescription.

A Curious Island.

One of the most curious islands in the
world is Merken, in the Zuyder Zee.
Horses and trees are things unknown to
the natives, as also is drunkenness. The
island produces one crop a year-viz,
hay-and the women manage the grow
ing and harvesting of this.

The Worlds Anathema.

This world is poor portion for your
soul, o business mani An eastern
king had craven on his tomb two fingers,
represented as sounding on each other
with snap, and under them the motto,
"All is not worth that" Apicius CG-
illus hanged himself because his stew
ard Informed him that he had only
ESQ, 200 sterling left. All of this world s
riches make but small inheritance for
soul. Robespierre attempted to win
the applause of the world but when he
was dying woman came rushing
through the crowd, crying to him,
Murderer of my kindred, descend to
hell, covered with the curses of every
mother in Francer' Many who have
expected the plaudits of the world have
died under its anathema maranatha.
Oh, find your peace i'll Godl Make
one strong pull for heaven. No half
way work will do it. There sometimes
comes a time Oh shipboard when every
thing must be sacrificed to save the
passengers. The cargo is nothing, the
rigging nothing. The captain puts the
trumpet to his lip and shouts, "Cut

been tossed and driven, and you have,
in your effort to keep the world, we'll
nigh lost your soul. Until you have de-
cided this matter let everything else go.

and burdens. You will have to drop the
sails Of your pride and cut away the
mast. With one earnest cry for help put
your cause into the hand of him who
helped Paul out of the breakers of Me-
llta, and who, above the shrill blast OF
the wrathiest tempest that ever black.
ened the sky or shook the ocean, can
hear the faintest imploration for mercy.

may stand firm, though the waves dash
against it harder than the Atlantic,
pitching its surf clear above Eddystone

the world stuck to God God stuck to the

For many hundreds of years he has been
coaxing the world to come back to him,
but the more he has coaxed the more
violent have men been in their resist

stepped back until they have dropped
into ruin.
Try this God, 20 who have had the
bloodhounds after you, aud who have
