In the morning tired, languld, and frequently with a headache that is almost unbearable. You have been nervous, restless and sleepless night after night, and gloomy and irritable during the day. This nervous exhaus- tion affects the heart, lungs and other organs that depend upon the nerves for motive power. Then the stomach fails to di- gest the food; the heart action is weak, and circulation poor, and the kidneys and liver in- active.
 What you need is not stom- ach, head, kidney or liver med icine, but Dr. Miles Nervine to soothe and feed the nerves and build nerve tissue.

The first symptoms were uncontrollable crying and melancholy tent that for over a year she would have a spell every day of from four to six hours duration. She required the constant attention of her physic- ian and attendants. She suffered. great pain and anguish. The best physicians attending her could give no relief, and she finally became almost of unsound mind. As last resort I began giving her pr.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
It is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply reliable kidney and liver remedy on the fyst abbearanee of the symptoms. A little uneasiness i'll the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- tion of strong men and women, yet they have a serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per- haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalculable value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in bottle of Prick1y Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars ill doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself ill the body. The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally efficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as a last resort, i'll cases that defed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, i'll instances innu- merable.
 Accept no substitute. Insist having

THE APRIL SMART SET.

In the novelette, which opens the April Smart Set Grace Mac Gowan Cooke has struck an en- tirely new note in fiction. It is a story of the west so saturated with the atmosphere of that part of our country and so photo- graphic in it's depletion of ranch life that it will take high rank among the best tales of that class, yet it is more as a charac- ter study that "The Red-Headed Woman" will win praise. The heroine is the most original, the most human, the most refreshing woman who for a long time has stepped from a printed page. There is no reader who will not be fascinated by her vagaries and interested in her remarkable career.
 The short stories in this num- Der cover wide field. First of all, there is a wonderfully graph ic tale by a new writer, Julia Lawrence Shafter, which she has called "A Realist." In it, with consummate art, she analyses the intricate character of a for lorn criminal who has become a subject of interest for a novel; ist in search of copy" This story alone would make any magazine worth while, but there are other excellent tales, notably by William R. Lighton, who tells how a dead love was resurrected in "The Shadow of a Shadow, /" by Mrs. Henry Dudeney, who writes a powerful English story of 1888 in "The Swift Ships" by Arthur Stringer, who goes to the Canadian frontier for the scene of "In the Dusk of the Goddess" by Guy Bolton, whose wit sparkles in The Sign Painter" by Inez Haynes Gill; more, who contributes a delight full love story, "The Gods of Hunger, and by H. G. Dwight, who writes charming story en- titled, "Susannah and the El- der"
 Bliss Carman has contributed an essay to this number, on Hay ing Known Painter" wherein he again reveals himself as a writer of exquisite prose.
 The poetry is far above the av- craze of magazine verse, and is written by such favorite authors as Edith M. Thomas, Clarence Urmy, Zona Gale, Madison Caw- ein, Arthur Davison Ficke, Nan nie Byrd Turner and Gouverneur, Morris, the latter supplying an- other instalment vf his inimita- ble verses, Below Stairs.
 The April Smart Set maintains its own high standard of excel lence, and is remarkable for the note of variety which it strikes.

Congregational Pastor an Oid-Time
Revivalist.

Since Rev. T. r. Egerton was or
dained in 1889 he has spent four years
doing evangelistlc work exclusively,
travelling constantly during that time
in Canada, Michigan, Ohio and lndi-
ana. He also travelled several years
as a singing evangelist, accompanying
preachers and assisting in the latters
duties. All this work was done under
the auspices of the Congregational
church, the authorities of which place
a high value upon Mr.. Egerton, not
merely as a revivalist in the accept
ed sense, but as "rejuvenator." If the
term may be allowed, in all work In
which he may be engaged-whether
in the field or in a settled pastorate.
Mr.. Egerton is beautiful singer
and most effective choir director and
popular leader Of congregational
singing. He sings all parts with
equal facility nearly, though his nat
ural voice is high tenor.
The revival meetings at the Congre-
gational church now in progress
opened very favorably yesterday with
good congregations both morning and
evening. Plain, enthusiastic preach
ing and good chorus and solo singing
are the special features of these meet
ings. Considerable interest is already
manifest.
