point at the mouth Of the Stickeen river,
where a transfer will be made to river
boats of light draught to Galnora. From
the latter place, the company. 1t Is stated ates

pleted, 1t Is claimed no other route to the
Yukon will be as easy or quick as this, and
the Canadian Pacific railway company ex-

RHEUMATISM
CAN BE CURED
FILTERED BLOOD.



Accusing the Interest of Scientists.
PLY sicians of all schools are beginning
to realize that the primary cause of near
ly every disease that attacks the human
system is the failure of the kidneys to
perform the duties nature assigned them.
The blood is constantly absorbing from
the different articles of food taken into
the stomach, various impurities, which if
permitted to course through the system,
quickly render the blood unfit to carry on
the process of healthy nutrition and ulti-
mately result in the development of dis
ease.
1t is the duty of the kidneys to filter the
blood; the slightest irregulality in the
performance of this function is immediate
ly manifested in a general weaking OF the
body; tendency to give out with little
eXertion. The symptom is closely follow
ed by others of much more distressing ma
ture which it is often customary to attri-
butte to other causes.
John Morrow, an eminent chemist of
Springfield, Ohio, using as a basis for his
work the theory that the kidneys are re-
spOnsible for the condition of our health,
has produced a new remedy which he has
named Morrow's Kidneoids, the purpose
of which is to act directly on the kidneys
eliminating all unnatural deposits and
rectifying the damage caused by their
existence.
The remarkable results obtained by this
medicine have attracted wide attention
and established new method of treating
disease, the efficacy of which cannot be
disputed.
Morrow's Kidneoids are prepared in vel
low tablets so small as to almost rob them
of their virtue in the eyes of those not
versed in medicine, but so potent is their
influence that their effects are noticed al
most Immediately
