< PHYSICIAH'S DIAGNOSIS 0F
 KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Seemingly Common Disease which Becomes Fata| through Neglect and which May Be Readily Cured by Prompt At- tention.

More than two-thirds of the annual death rate, physicians claim, is directly traceable to kidney disorders.
 Interested by this remarkable asser. ton and desiring to acquire better un- derstanding of the origin of the disease a prominent physician was recently in terviewed as to the symptoms of such troubles.
 "To what do you attribute the great destructiveness of kidney disease?" was asked.
 "The hold which the disease gains in the body before the victim becomes aware of his true condition, and the rapidity with which it eats its way into the vital organs"
 "Would not the proverbial ounce of prevention check the progress of the disease?"
 "There is no doubt of it. The trouble is that victims of this disease mistake the symptoms for some trihing ailment in the stomach or bowels; therefore they do nothing to arrest the course of the disease until 1t is we'll advanced"
 "What is the origin of kidney trouble?'
 "Almost invariably bad digestion, fol- lowed by torpid liver and constipated habit"
 "What are the symptoms?"
 Headache, dizzy spells, sluggish brain, restless nights, pale or sallow ct;u had breath lack of appetite heart.

WHEN PROFANITY WAS COMMON
Two Good Stories Concerning Weak
 ness of a Past Generation.

Dean Ramsay could not count enance profanity. but he managed to tell some good stories of weakness which af dicted many in his time:
 "A late duke of Athol had invited well-known character, writer of Perth. to come up and meet him at Dunkeld for the transaction o' some business. The duke mentioI the day and hour when he should receive the man of law, who according! q, as punctually at the appointed ti'--e and place But the duke had -.otten the appointment and had gone to the hill, from which he could not return for some hours. A Highlander pres ent described the Perth writer's in dignation and his mode of showing it by most elaborate course of swear ing. But whom did he swear at? was tho inquiry made of the narrator who replied: oh, he didna sweer at ony thing particular. but juist stude in ta middle of ta road and swoor at lairge.' l have from a friend also an anecdOte which shows how entirely at one period the practice of swearing had become familiar even 10 female ears when mixed up with the inter course of social life. A sister had been speaking of her brother as much addicted to this habit-'Oor John sweers awful. and we try to correct him; but she added in a candid and apologetic tone. ma doubt 1t is a great set af to conversation.
