A SAD ACCIDENT.

Monday evening last an acct.
dent happened to the Sisters OF
Mercy, which came very near re-
sulting seriously.
On that day the Sisters had 81.
ven picnic to the girls of the
convent under the big oaks on the
plantation of Mr.. E. A. Duchamp
about four miles from town,
where the children spent a most
enjoyable time until the time of
the accident which occurred late
in the evening.
Sisters Alphonsine, Benedicta,
Dolores and Columbia had re-
manned at the Convent to make
some ice cream and were to join
the merry picnicers in the even
ing, and we're driven there by q
carriage from che stable of Mr.. E.
N. Resweber, with young boy as
driver. When the Sisters arrived
at the picnic ground, the driver
jumped from the carriage to hold
his horses for the Sisters to get
down, but at this time all the chill
dren rushed to the carriage to
greet the Sisters who had Just
come, and having moss, flowers
and vines upon their heads and
with their wild cries of joy, pre-
scented a spectacle not often seen
by stable horses, they got frigh-
tened, and ran away at furious
speed, Sisters Alphonsine and Be-
nedicta jumped from the carriage,
and both received serious and
painful injuries, Sister Alphonsine
received internal injuries and was
left on the ground unconscious,
it was feared that she would die
before she could be carried to the
Convent, but she was tenderly
placed in a wagon on a mattress
and brought to the Convent where
she received the attention of Drs.
Martin and Durio.
Sister Benedicta had one bone
of her leg broken just above the
ankle and received a painful cut
on the head, her wounds IRE pain
full, but are not considered dam
gerous.
Sister Dolores was thrown from
carriage and was severely scratch.
ed and bruised over the breast,
she suffered very much, but her

THE KIDNEYS

Kidney troubles are undoubtedly
the cause of more deaths than any 9TH
er disease, for the reason that their
approach is slow and gradual and, as
rule, unaccompaDied by warning
symptoms. The Kidney relieves the
system of all poisonous material, and
discharge it through the urine. When
they become diseased the poison re-
mains in the blood, gradually increas-
ing in minute quantities until the sys-
tenn can no longer resist its effects
The heart becomes affected, action
fails and dropsy appears. The nervous
system is poisoned and commissions are
followed by death.
The liver and kidneys act like drains.
to collect and carry away waste and
worn out materials from the body. In
the spring the functions of these organs
are imperfectly performed. and the or
gans become clogged by the waste
matters which are thus retained in the
system. That is why you are so weak,
tired and lanquid, wake tired MORN
ings, and lack your usual strength, en-
ergy and vim in the spring. That is
why you have weakness and pain in the
side or back, high-colored urine. with
sediments, headache, coated tongue
bad taste in the mouth, thirst, bilious
ness, constipation, cold feet, poor cir
culatIon, extreme nervousness and
Frustrated feelings.
