stay.

was a most unusual thing. and on Sun
day, too; and on going to the door and
opening it, she saw Dick Darnley stand
ing outside. There he stood for a mo-

he burst out:

marks were made, and were carefully

heart they scorched and burned like
fire. And if Dick hadn't been very firm
and determined she would have refused
to go out walking any more.
They're right, I'm too Old" she
would humblv say.

An American Discovery.
John Morrow, an Eminent Chemist of
Springfield, o., Finds a Remedy
That Promises to Revolutionize
the Practice of Medicine.

The present year will always be a notable
one in the history of the nineteenth century
for the many wonderful discoveries it records.
Every branch of science has made great strides,
the most remarkable of which, perhaps have
been made in the practice of medicine. Now
comes the information that John Morrow, an
eminent chemist OF Springfield, Ohio, has dis
covered 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 scientists
that such report is not only of great import
but highly gratifying as well.
Morrow S discovery, while the true ingredi
ents have not yet been published, is in the
form of yellow tablet and is known to the
medical world rs Morrows kidneoids.
This remarkable remedy has been tried in
some of the most severe cases of chronic and
acute diseases of the kidneys, ard in each case
has quickly produced the most beneficial re-
suits.
The fact that death from Bright's disease
shows daily increase is an unpleasant indi-
cation that disorder of the kidneys is fast be-
coming an affiietion Of the human race and any
remedy that promises sure relief is indeed a
blessing to mankind.
The symptoms OF deranged ki neys are too
apparent TO require a physicians diagnosis:
pain in the side and back, aching bones, a con-
tinual feeling of languor, are followed by i'm
paired vision, loss of appetite, swelling of the
hands and feet and so ON until Bnght's dis
ease gets hold.
1t is so insidious in its attack that the busy
man OF woman too often associates the symp-
toms with some trifling ailment until the de
velopment of the disease causes a complete
collapse. With Morrow's Kidneoids it is in
tended to remedy all this by enabling any one
to stop the progress Of the disease and effect a
permanent cure without recourse TO a physi-
clan or the abandonment of their duties.
Ii is said that one of the largest drug con-
Germs in the United States is negotiating for
the absolute control of MorTows Kidneoids,
which they intend placing in every drug store,
where it can be procured by any one without
the necessity of securing a physicians pre-
scription.
