TRAGEDY in REAL LIFE.
A Graphic Story Concerning
the Fate of a Young Lady.

Here is a graphic narrative from real
life showing how many of our friends
whom we love. may be on the verge of
a great tragedy.
a young girl residing on Madison
avenue, New York, and who had been
in society but a short time, was pre-
pairing to attend a grand ball for which
great preparations had been made. She
was in her own room on the second
floor over the parlOr, and called down
to her mother regarding certain mat
ters connected with her new dress. The
mother answered, but received no re
spOnse, nor did she receive a word of
reply to her continued answers. The
mother therefore climbed. the stairs,
and found her daughter lying dead up
on the side of the sofa.
As is usual in all cases of sudden
death, heart disease was assigned as
the cause, but a careful examination
by competent physicians revealed the
terrible fact that the young lady met
her death from acute Brights disease
of the kidneys.
The above painful accident is relat-
ed precisely as it occurred, the names
of the parties only being suppressed
owing to their prominence. The story
is related to impress the fact of how
many people there are, apparently in
good health and yet actually upon the
verge of the grave. Kidney diseases
are the most deceptive and the most
dangerous of all known complaints

discovery for effectually preventing it
or checking it after it has begun to fix
its fangs upon the system. That rem
edy is acknowledged by the medical
profession OF the world, and is used in
greater quantities in other countries
than even in the United States. 1t has
become a household remedy and it
richly deserves the reputation it has
secured. That remedy is Warmers
Safe Cure.
There are thousands of men and wo-
men throughout the length and
breadth of the land who owe their pro-
lOnged lives and present health to its
faithful use. There are women who
were once pale, sallOW and sickly and
suffering from painful complaints Pc
culiar to their sex, who are today
bright rosy healthful and grateful to
markable change. There are men who
were once broken down, lfStleSS, nerve
less and respondent, and who are now
in complete health, are able to attend
to their duties without fatigue, who
glOrify the power of Safe-C Cure. Among
the physicians throughout the world
who speak in the highest terms of this
great remedy are DR.. VIM. Robson of
England, DR.. Boyer of Germany ana
Drs. r. A. Gum and Dio Lewis of
America. In speaking of this great
remedy, DR.. RObesOn OF England said:
4 emphatically state that 1 have been
able to give more relief and effect more
cures by the use of Warmers Safe
Cure than by all the medicines in the
British PharmacOpOeia-
If any man or woman who reads this
is suffering from any of the symptoms
above mentioned, and desires to avoid
the fate that is overtaking so many
worthy people, prompt action should
be taken at once. Bear this carefully
in mind.

The Surprise of All

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, COWden, ILL.,, in speaking
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav-
ing DR.. Kings New Discovery in the
store, and selling lots Of it, he took
bottle home, and to the surprise of all
she began to get better from first dose
and half a dozen dollar bottles cured
her sound and well. DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds is guaranteed to do this good
work. Try it. Free trial bottle at
Swift & Holidays Drug Store.
