THEN AND Now.
To saw that a man has Bri,

To say that a man has Bright's
disease was once considered
equivalent to saying that he
stood in the valley of the shadow
of death. The end ives only q
question of time. But that was
before Warmers Safe Cure had
spread its benefits over the land.
c. H. Lincoln, of Medford,
Mass, says:
81 had typhoid fever, and
after it came kidney trouble,
and it was whispered around
that had Bright's disease Of
the kidneys. I knew what that
meant, so l pitched the medi-
cine I had outdoors. then
bought one bottle of Warmers
Safe Cure, and took II according
to directions. The first bottle
gave me relief and l bought .
second. Before that was gone I
had gained nearly ten pounds.
I continued taking Safe Cure,
and it cured me-"
"I am fifty-nine years old,
and enjoy as good health as any
man of my age. If anyone has
kidney trouble and Warmers
Safe Cure will not cure him,
nothing will. I believe it tho
best and only cure for kidney
disease on earth"
Nowhere does the proverb.
delays are dangerous" apply
with such force as in kidney
arrangement. When Bright's
disease has set in the kidney
tissue is breaking down and
passing away every minute.
The strength of the body is
sapped steadily, surely.
Inasmuch as Warmers Safo
Cure alone stops kidney degen-
Grafton, should it not be used
without an hours delay when
pain in the back and head, a
cold skin and bad digestion give

AMERICAN BOTTLES THE BEST.
Preferred In south Africa Because Made
In More shapes md of Better GInaa


Among the many articles OF export 10 South
Africa in which tho Americans have a decided
advantage over all competitors are glass bottles
and glassware OF all kinds For one reason or
another American glass endures the climate
better than English. probably because Il is better
annealed Not only does this apply In South
Africa, but also in Mauritus and other warm
climates where the American and English goods
have come into competition
There Is another reason why American bottles
hould have the preference especially In the drug
trade. In England bottles are made In a few
standard shapes and sizes from which there Is
no yoriation In this country there is no limit
10 tho varieties OF bottles manufactured; In any
large glass house they arc 10 be found literally
In hundreds OF shapes and II would be a tasidious
customer who could not find what he required
In young and go.ahead country like South
Africa English conservatism naturally fnds
little place, An English druggist makes up
his goods pretty well az his father made them
up before; but the South African druggist has no
such traditions TO bind him. and cOnscquen
he Is the search for the nov e and attractiye
and Tor this he has come to America
Besides the desire Tor novelty there Is another
reason why American bottles are more varied
than English The actual number OF bottles
greater than that which pas.es from t6e ';e, stoT,

Observations In Harrisburg Show That More
Persons Are Riding In Street Cars.
HARRIsBuRo. Pa. Nov 27.-The percentage
OF persons who ride bicycles compared with those
who ride In trolley cars has fallen of considerably
here during the last two years observ atoms
covering this period have been made on tho prin-
cipal thorough htare Of Harrisburg by the State
Bureau OF Railways under tho direction Of Super
intendent Brown These observations show that
the trolley is more popular than the wheel and
that the number of pedestrians is more than double
the combined num Der on wheels and in cars
In an investig alton m ade In 1897 IL was found
that OF 6OIb persons passing given point on
given day 6T.7 per cent were on bicycles and 81
per cent in the cars year ago similar data
persons passing the same location ON a certain
day SO per cent were on wheels and 407 per
cent were in the cars In the investigation
made for this year during the same length OF time
and on day when conditions for travelling were
substantially the same as on the day selected
for the observations OF the two previous years
the total number of persons passing wheels
was 3, ISi: in cars 2,9il
feature Of the observations made this year
was the counting Of the number Of pedestrians
who passed a given point during the same hours
that the observations were made OF those riding
in cars Or on wheels. The total number OF such
PEDESTRIANS was found TO be IS O66 or o. 3ll more
