There arc many reasons why you
should take Morrow's Kid-ne-oids In
preference TO any other Kidney prcpara-
ton. In the FIRST place, Kld-ne-oids are
q scientific preparation.
Second, They are not pills, but Tab
lets, which Is the scientific form of put
ting up medicine; they do not get hard
and pass through the system whole,
but dissolve and TAKE effect Immediate
ly.
Third, There are never any bad effects
from their use, like there are from nine
~ per cent Of other preparations,
Fourth, Most all kidney preparations
nre filed up with something 10 act on
the bowels. Morrow's Kid-ne-oids do
not act on the bowels, because come poo
pie do not need n cathartlc. They Sim
ply need something TO act on the kid
neys, and when you take any other kid
ney preparations the bowels are moved
perhaps severely, when they should not
be disturbed.
There arc many other reasons why
YOU should take Morrow's Kid-ne-oIds
and these reasons you Will find out by
using them We give you the EVIL
dence OF Mrs, VIM. II. Rnyl Of 1875
Market street. who has lived here for
twenty years, and says: II was troubled
with dIsordered kidneys for several
years, and was never able 10 get any
thing that would cure me. AT times 1
would have a very severe aching pain
across the small part Of my back and
was troubled with nervousness and In
ability to sleep. When read about
Morrow'R Kid-nc-olds ! decided to try
them, and obtained some at a druggist,
who guaranteed them. or will refund the
money. In u short time after ! began
the use OF Kid-ne-olds was relieved"
Morrow's Kid-nc-ods are not pills,
but Yellow Tablets, and are put up In
wooden boxes. which contain enough for
about two wccka' treatment, and sell nt
my cents box at all drug stores. a
descriptive booklet will be mailed upon
request by John Morrow 6 Co., Chem

A. A. MADISON.
Pe-ru.ns attained great popularity
among the officers Of the army as we'll as
the navy during the late war with Spain.
A great many letters were received from
field and hospital corps, indicating that
this popular climatic remedy has become
well nigh indispensable to them. Pc
ru.na is not only q National remedy, but
has proven itself National blessing.
Letters from every quarter arc received
daily testifying to the virtues Of Peru.
M IN cases OF catarrh that had long since
given up all hope ofcure. Coughs, colds,
influenza, Is grippe and acute catarrh
yield at once to the action Of Pe-ru-na.
No case Of catarrh can entirely resist the
curative virtues of Pe-ru-na, as every
case 1s either cured or permanently bene-
fited. A lecture on catarrh and its euro

JERUSALEM AT THE CLOSE OF THE
CENTURY.--Jerusslem, the sacred
city Of the three great mono,heis
tic ticreligions--Christianity,J Judaism
and Mohammedsnism-oHers such
an abundance Of interesting mate
rial in its recently marked growth
that the historical parallel between
the city as It was at the beg nnlng
and at the end of the century
lately printed in the B0ie ans E10H
an excellent mission journal edited
in the city Of jerusalem Itself
makes profitable reading. We
CLEAN from this source the follow
ing particulars: One hundr d
years ago there was not a single
dwelling house outside the city
walls Of Jerusalem. A few gar
deners' novels found there were
very unsafe, and as late az 1858
Pastor Schneider, the founder OF
the famous orphans home in Jeru
salem, was attacked and robbed in
his own house, well within the
city. On account OF these depre-
dations, watch towers had been
erected along the whole route to
Jatfa, some Of which are standing
yet. The whole district surround
ing the city was practically a
deser. In the town Of Jerusalem
itself many houses were empty or
were used only as repositories for
filth. Their, were even many plots
in the city that were ploughed for
the cultivation OF grain. The
Christians at that time had no
right TO acquire property They
were allowed to enter the Church
OF the Holy Scpulchre only on the
payment Il an entrance fee. Pill
grlms were few and tar between.
The re igious societies in the city
were syste -atlcal.y plundered. In
the years 1912 an1 1913 the Fran
crsrans were compelled 70 pay
thrtesn million plastres $40, 900
dols.). Even IN IT'S official utter
ances the G vernmeut designated
the Chi,uans. as dogs" A Mo-
hammedan convert TO Christianity
was punished to death, and even
since I84o with tie loss OF political
liberty. A change for the better
was inauguratcd in 1889, when
Ibrahim Pasha TO K Palestine away
from the Turks and annexed IT to
Egypt. Religious intolerance
ceased and Christian missionaries
were given freedom OF action, and
