There IS disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs. or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Brights
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

'It's a little odd, when YOU come
to think of it, isn't it?'' said man
the other night to a little group in
the Wright house lobby, chow eter-
nally true it is that 'one touch of ma
ture makes the whole world kin?' In
its essential life is the same to every
one of us. The wisest philosopher
knows no more of love than the SIM
plest hind that kisses the lips of the
woman he loves; the millionaire and
the beggar shed the same bitter and
hopeless tears above their dead. and
every human heart thrills to the same
hopes and joys, and is torn and brok-
en- with the same griefs and disap-
pointments. Broadcloth Of wealth,
or blue overalls of the day laborer, it
is the same. You have but to strike
one of the simple chords of life to find
that every soul vibrates TO it. Not
