our solar system seventy-hVe years

out one night and showed us the great
comet. II looked Ike n great fiery
ball with a long glowing tail, the lat

from east to west and seemed inclined
a bit upward. We looked at II for a
long time. but none of us seemed

quest was prosecuted In earnest No

begun TO fear great harm had over
taken them, when Mrs. Tribe. who
lives nearby, returned to the Hadley

Mrs. Tribe Immediately directed

the closing OF trap door
The searching party FASTENED to The

Another Failure

(From s. r. Bulletin, May l, '09)
Among many late letters announcing
favorable results there arc a number
from physicians. all of whom have
cases recovering. and one from Hot
Springs. Ark. telling Of the recovery
OF two physicians.
The same week physician OF this
city reported failure lie stated
that he gave tho Compound At the last
moment I'm an extreme case of Brieht's
Disease and that he had no confidence
in tho treatment. and as the patient
expired a few days thereafter that II
confirmed his opinion. Tho secret OF
the several successes first referred
10 lays In the fact that the ply
sIcians realizing the admitted futility
OF the orthodox treatment put them
selves or their patients on the conf
pound before they were in eNtremis.
Not so In the last case, and the reason
for the failure is obvious.
Let us illustrates: We are told that
there Is a physician In South san
Francisco by the name of Gardner who
has never had a failure In case OF
typhoid fever We don't know what
his method is but will say that when
his fame causes patients to be trans
ferred 10 his treatment after the at
tending physicians have declared the
case hopeless that his failures Will
then commence His successes have
been in cases that sent for him while
there was something to work on.
1t is a fact that many cases of
Bright's Disease in cxtremis have
been rescued, but there Is no certain
ty when the treatment Is withheld un-
til the last few days. When Fulton S
Renal Compound is administered in
time 4, matters little whether the case
be chronic or not, nearly nine-tenths
get results. the text books To the con-
trary notwithstanding.
We again say that the mere pres
ence of albumen, casts and dropsy In
the chronic stage that are supposed to
make up an Incurable case of Brights
Disease Is now no bar to recovery, pro
vldlng there Is heart and vitality TO
work on II is obvious that II the
treatment Is withheld until there Is
no recuperatlve power there will also
he failures
In view OF the declared futility Of
everything known up to the develop
mont of Fulton Renal Compound, We
ask in the name OF conscience how
thcre can be any question In the mind
Of any human being as 10 what ought

there should bc any delay in giving

j Cecil Alter. assistant director of
the local Salt Lake office OF the

of the star which was seen on the
streets by hundreds OF people and mis-
taken for Halley's comet and declar.
cd that 1t is Venus After the test
which was made by use of high power
transits. Mr.. Alter gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
The star seen and mistaken for
the comet Is Venus. This Is evident
from the bright top and loft half.
which is the distinguishing feature of
Venus The comet yesterday should
have been 80 degrees west OF the sun
The star which is seen is but % de-
grees from the sun. which Is the exact
location OF Venus. 1t is not possible TO
see Halloy's comet in the day time
because there Is no rejecting surface.
II is a dull glow. Venus has bright
surface. and. therefore. reflects light
from the sun Venus Is often visible
