LIFE EBBING AWAY.
Touching Scenes at Bedside Of
Dying Pope Leo.
Pontiff BraveIy Fighting Against APP
preaching King of Death.
Extreme JUNCTION Administered and
End Not Far off.

Rome, July 1855 A. M.-Another
morning has broken on the pathetic
scene within the simple chamber of the
Vatican where Pope Leo lies dying.
AS the soft light of dawn penetrated
into the room the Pontiff whispered to
his devoted physician that he de-
sired the shutters of the windows to be
opened, saying: II wish ITO see once
more, perhaps for the last time the
rays of the SUM-"
1t is just short while since the
Pope came back to consciousness from
q sleep which DR.. Lapponi had induced
by strong dose of choral. His sleep
was so deathlike that artificial respi-
ration was continued and DR.. Lapponi
every few minutes leaned anxiously
over the couch to observe the illus
trious patient and listen to his hardly
perceptible breathing. Pope Leo aWoke
wet with Precipitation, feeble to the
extreme and his voice hardly audible.
The fits of coughing had brought pains
in his chest and shoulders, and think
ing his end was now near, he said to
DR.. Lapponi: Tell me when the time
really comes" The doctor assured His
Holiness that he believed the danger
of his immediate passing was averted
for the night and for today.
Although his physical powers are at
their lowest ebb and his breathing be-
comes more labored. the Pope's mind
is clear and is manifest to all around
him by his bright expressive eyes and
the few words he now and then sue
q in MD
touching that those present can hardly
restrain their tears.
Count Camille Pecci, the Pope's
nephew, whom the dying man kept by
his bedside, yesterday, was so exhaust
ed, late last night, by his contending
emotions that he had to be taken from
his uncle's room completely worn out.
a few moments before as he stood
bowed beside the bed, Pope Leo laid
his hand on his head with paternal af-
lection, saying: "Take courage"
Shortly after 10 o'clock at night, the
Pontiff received the extreme JUNCTION.
AT 8 o'clock his condition seemed to
be so hopeless that only a short time
apparently remained before he would
glide into his last sleep. At DR.. Lap
POM INITIATIVE, II IluSly consultation
of the Pope's relatives, Cardinal Ram
polla and other ecclesiastics was held
and it was decided that the extreme
JUNCTION should be given. The Pontiff
received the announcement with his
usual calmness and though scarcely
able to speak audibly, he said he knew
his time had come and he was ready
to appear before the Sublime Tribunal
with full trust in the Divine merit.
Monsignor Pifferi Pope Leos con-
fessor, administered the extreme unc-
tion and when the ceremony was over
His Holiness sank back to the pillow
with an apparently great relief that all
was done and that he was entering
into rest after his long pilgrimage.

Mothers! Stop the Beginnings of Kidney Weak
ness in Childhood.

Alcohol stunts the growth of chill

give them liquid proprietary remedies.
Dosing children with nitre for bed
wetting is another source of early kid

A far safer and more effective rem

gill's Kidney-Wort Tablets. They are
purely vegetable and absolutely harm
less to the most delicate child, and are
prepared in a tablet form that makes
them convenient to carry and to take
without fuss on the part of young
children. Every mother should know
the early symptoms of kidney disease;
bed -wetting, high colored urine, pain
in region of kidneys, constipation,
headaches, loss of appetite and debility
are some Of them.
Kidney-Wort Tablets have the con-
fidence of physicians in children's
