looking as though he were not in the
best of condition.
oh am all rightr he exclaimed. In
fact, l think ] am enjoying very good
health. 1t is true he continued, that
do not always sleep well, my appetite
is rather tickle and feel unaccountably
tireu at times, but have no pain what
ever, and | think | am getting along all
right
| left him with a warning not to be
too certain about his condition, but tell
you that unless that man takes prompt
action of the right kind, he is a candi-
date for the grave, and that, too, within
a limited period"
"And yet he does not know it,"
'sThe thing which makes Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys, which that man IN
doubtedly has, the most dangerous of
all diseases is that it has no symptoms
of it's own. l mean that pain is seldom
felt in the kidneys themselves, and yet
l deliberately state as a physician that
nearly one-half of the deaths in America
are caused by Bright's disease of the
kidneys. This may sound like a rash
statement, but / am prepared to fully
verify it. Hundreds of burial certif-
Gates have been made out by family
physicians for heart disease, 'appo-
plexy,' paralysis spinal complaint,
rheumatism, pneumonia and other
common complaints, when in reality ii
was Bright's disease of the kidneys"
Few physicians and fewer people
realize the extent of this disease or
its dangerous and insidious nature. ii
steals into the system like thief, mani
tests itself by the commonest symptoms
and fastens itself upon the constitution
before the victim is aware of its pre-
sence. 1t is nearly as hereditary as
consumption, quite as common and full
~ as fatal. Entire families, inheriting
it from their ancestors, have died, and
yet none of the number knew or realized
the mysterious power which was remoV-
ing them"
Not only this, but until recent years
no remedy was known which could pre-
vent or cure this most fearful Of dis
eases, and even to-day, with all the adj
vancement of science, there is but one
known discovery by which it can be pre-
vented, controlled when it is contracted
or finally cured. That remedy is War
ner's Safe Cure, and it has, to my GER
tain knowledge, saved more people from
utduuSs anu 10 hSCpliS hAph'
people in perfect health to-day than any
other discovery ever known in the entirt
history of the world. 1t was concern
ing this remedy that the late DIR. Die
Lewis said:
while my own life has been devoted
to the prevention of disease, and while
years ago / gave up the use of medi
cines, gratefully recognize the precious
value of Warmers Safe Cure, and il

BILE, | should instantly use it."
When physicians of the highest stand
ing so unhesitatingly endorse a modern
discovery, which will certainly cure The
most terrible of diseases, does it not
stand to reason that those of us who
realize that we are slowly drifting into a
state Of decline; that our kidneys, liver
or urinary organs are not what they
should be, should avail ourselves Of the
benefits of so great a scientific discovery,
which is placed so easily within our
reach?

Washington. Aug. 1O.-The feature Of
yesterdays news Of the war depart
ment was the cable from General Miles
stating that he did not need reinforce
ment and advising that no more troops
be sent to Porto Rico. The effect Of this
dispatch was to stop the embarkation
OF troops at Newport News and to stop
General Wade's corps from sailing. The
disposition Of troops which are not now
needed for active service was consid-
cred at once by the department officials
and the determination was reached that
there would be general movement
from the larger camps. Some of these
troops will be sent north where they
Will be in cooler climate and stationed
at camps which are under considera-
ton, but which have not yet been def
nitely selected.
Investigation of a number Of places
are In progress with a special reference
to the health of the camp and water
supply. 1t Ia believed by the authorities
that good water will go q long way
toward maintaiaing the healthfulness
OF the troops. Some regiments will be
removed at once, and those which can.
not be moved probably will be ordered
to proceed upon practice marches, the
OBJECT being to scatter the troops as
much as possible and to receive the
several camps from the effect of con-
centration.
The belief Is now general among the
officials of the war department that
concentration in large camps and COM
parative inactivity, together with the
failure OF troops to take rigid precau-
tions as advised by the medical de-
partment, has been the cause Of 80
much sickness in the various camps 1t
Is stated that one reason why concen-
tration has been allowed to continue
and no orders issued for the practice
marches was that the troops might be
expected to be called for in a short
time for service in the field. As this Is
no longer probable, orders are expected
to be issued very soon which will move
many Of the troops and spread them
about the country in the new camps
or upon practice marches.
A dispatch from General Merritt con-
corning the report of a small engage
ment near Manila gave only the merest
details and did not convey much
information as to the situation of the
troops under his command. General
Merritt has something over 10000 |
new, with reinforcements on the way.
The next expedition Is expected to |
reach him about Aug. Is.
