What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmers Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing It, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild j>nd the extra ordinary effect of Swamp-ftoot is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won- •derful cures of the most distressing cases.

It is a medicine, not a cheap food or condition powder. Though put up in coarser form than Thedford’s Black-Draught, renowned for the cure of the digestion troubles of persons, it has the same qualities of invigorating digestion, stirring up the torpid liver and loosenin"! the constipated bowels for all stock and poultry. It is carefully pre pared and its action is so healthful that stock grow and thrive with an occasional dose in their food. It 1 cures hog cholera and makes hogs grow fat. It cures chicken cholera and roup and makes hens lay. It Cures constipation, distemper and colds in horses,.murrain in rtittle, and makes a draught animal do more work for the food consumed. It gives animals and fowls of all kinds new life. Every farmer and raiser should certainly give it a trial. It costs 25c. a can and saves ten times its price in profit.

HASSON. l.os Angeles, Cal., Feb. 12.—Under the 1 .ure of a river the preacher shows in ■. .iis : t ;mon the beuelits that accrue to 1 O’ who serve and obey God. The P \ ! is Isaiah xlviii, 18, “Then had thy ) once been as a river.” \\ hat art thou doing. O prophet of j-rnel? Art thou taunting thy 1 eople with the blessing they had missed through forsaking Gcal and disregard ing thy teaching? When trouble swoops art thou one of those who say: “I told you so? If you had only taken my advice you would not be in the dif ficulty you are in today. If you will make your lied out of thorns and thistles Instead of rose leaves, then upon the thorns and thistles you must lie.” Are you like an executioner who upbraids and derides the trembling murderer whose life he is soon to strangle with the rope? In drawing your enchanting picture of peace flow ing like u river before a people harass ed by powerful foreign enemies and disturbed by internal dissensions are you not merely adding to their distress, as the mirage of the desert aggravates the thirst of the dying traveler? Are you saying to your miserable people: “Look at those beautiful hanks water ed by the river, rich in flora and tune ful with singing birds. They would have been all yours if you had uot wandered into the desert of sin, but now they are lost to you forever.” “Ah, no,” says the prophet Isaiah, “it Is not to aggravate their thirst that I tell them of this river, but to invite them to return to the way from which they have wandered; not to exult over their misfortunes, but to warn them of the consequences of sin. I am not here glorying in the suffering of God’s fallen ones. My river Is not composed of the black waters of the river Styx, but from the flowing crystal waters of the river of life. I am like a loving father whose wayward son has disre garded warnings and has sinned and brought himself into trouble, and the father sorrow's with him and pleads with him to repent and assures him that if he will forsake his sin his wick edness shall be forgiven and his peace shall be like a river, as though he bad never sinned.” May God help us as we use the banks of the Jordan or the Rhine or the Tiber or the upper Thames or the banks of our own po- i etic Hudson for a sacred pulpit. Such i a river bank today may become as ’ sacred a pulpit as that in the chancel I of Westminster abbey or St. Paul's or 1 Canterbury cat 1 slral, even though ! bishop's hand 1 u* not consecrated it : or ecclesiastical convocation dedicated it. What tli<* Klvrr Teachra. The pleading river, in the first place, teaches us that the divine peace which he < u d . t ha t 1 e j.ic'; n. . ..1 and st..nd and . .d o. the Lord and Ki...:e hi-* • place, t iod’s way was ven times in the Jordan. | When he took GOil's way he avus cured. I but not until he took it. God’s way can ; cure you, O Immortal, of your sin. Are j you ready to welcome this divine peace, like a river, which will come to you through Jesus Christ? The way of the cross is the source of this peace. From the mount of Calvary that stream gushes forth, as from Mount Hermon flows the Jordan and from the Ad- irondacks the mighty Hudson. But the pleading river teaches us an other lesson about the divine peace which passeth all understanding. The longer a disciple of Jesus Christ lives a Christian life the deeper and wider does the river of his peace become. It should deepen and widen and grow more majestic in volume, even as the waters of the Hudson grow deeper and wider as they slip past the highlands and lap the feet of the Palisades and sweep on in their grandeur to the place where they are married to the waters of the mighty deep at the nuptial altar of Governors island, in upper New York bay. It should go on growing deeper and wider, even as become the waters of the river Orinoco where they empty themselves into the unfathomable depths of the sea. When, in 14i>8. Christopher Columbus for the first time touched the mainland of South Ameri ca and saw this great river, one of his officers congratulated him because he had discovered another island. The Immortal explorer replied; "No such river as that flows from an Island. Tuat mighty torrent drains the waters of a continent.” The pleading river of God’s peace grows wider and deei>er as peace and hii”' '-c' service to ip . - 4 ns he Who Ins No pillow is so t. who has relie-cd brother The pen: standin ' 1 ev er ...s r..e ishes so!fifth desires 01 tu another’s mi.-tory.

But what would our lands be worth if we did not have our mighty rivers to water them? Whence could our cattle find water tp drink and grass to eat Fraud Exposed.

This is to warn yon to eware of such people, who seek ly enraged the cl* king of England as George I. he would have nothing to do with his old favor ite. But one day the king gave a great fete upon the river Thames. As the royal barge moved along another bargu followed, playing twenty-five coimertos of music. These concertos, gathered to gether under one musical head, are known as the celebrated “water mu sic” of Handel. Every musical instru ment then known was utilized in the orchestra. "Ah,” said King George, “no one could compose such music ns that but my old court musician, Freder ick Handel!” At once the king restored Handel to favor and gave to him a sal ary of $1,000 per year. But, though but for the rivers? How could our ■ ij ttn< j e i upon the river Thames was grain lift its golden cheek to be kissed a bie play himself into the good of the sun unless Its roots once waded gracw of au earthly king, our divine knee deep In the mud T W hat makes pite a river, shall yet open for us the Atlantic coast, especially New Eng- a more triumphant entry into the royal land, have the most fertile valleys?

Hie absence of the rivers. , g h a ii have all the celestial choir which Yes, as the Egyptians for centuries g ft u g for the shepherds above the Ju daean hills sing for us the halleluiah chorus of a royal and divine welcome. But I think myself of one suggestive worshiped the river Nile because it* rise or fall meant to thpm food or fam ine. clothing or nakedness, prosperity or poverty, health or disease, the rivers of our land are the source of fertility to the soil and prosperity to our people. If the peace of our hearts is to be like a river it must give help temporal and spiritual to all around us. Are we temporal and spiritual “riv ers of life” to our fellow men? Some of us are truly “rivers of death” or “rivers of seclusion.” Our lives are like the stygian stream in the great Mam moth cave of Kentucky. We are sur rounded by grandeurs and beauties on every side, but we have walled our selves in by solid rock, where we can do no good to others and where others Like Lerar Cave. Or our lives, If they are not like the Styx of a Mammoth enve, supporting only a few blind fish swimming hun dreds of feet below the surface of the earth, may be like the wonderfully suggestive beauties of a Luray cave of old Virginia, which likewise are doing no good to any one. That Lnray cave is a marvelous place. Though its beau ties were buried for centuries, yet un der the flash of light it looks as though “lUSS’* Early Riser* The famous little pills* comes to mail must come as the result j ,-j v «. r 0 f God's peace, of natural law in the spiritual life.

But the divine peace comes to man as the result of a ration j lluW <lia il get a | 1<Hl al cause. It has a rational source, as j sir - HllNW( . m | i U rmer. we travel along its banks in the journey of life. At the beginning of our Chris- ~ go^TtouT tian course it may seem a small stream, but as the years pass aud our feet come nearer and nearer to the great ocean of eternity the volume of the river in creases until it becomes a peace that passeth understanding. Is this increasing power true iu ref erence to our spiritual peace? As you compare your present life with that of your spiritual life ten, twenty, thir ty years ago are you conscious that you love God more now than you did then? Do you read the Bible more now' than you did when you joined the church and prepared for your first commun ion? Is your enjoymeut of prayer and your dependence u|>on it more Intense now than they were at first? Are you striving more earnestly than formerly to gather the showers of blessing that are everywhere falling around you Into your ow’n spiritual nature? Are you more ready now than at the beginning of your Christian career to go into the house of a neighbor on whom sickness or bereavement has fallen to adminis ter comfort and to cheer him with re minders of God’s promises? There is something awfully wrong with a Chris tian who. while his wealth and mental power increase with the passing years, finds that his spiritual nature does not widen and deepen like the pleading fact about this same river Thames. Though Handel by sweetest harmony may have played himself into the good graces of an earthly king, yet he w r as playing his “water music” upon the stream which washed the iron gratings of the “traitor’s gate” of the old Tow er of London. Through this gate the English kings sent their enemies for incarceration or decapitation. Oh, my frienda, can It be that you or I must ever pass through .the traitor’s gate, which is today swinging over the river of death for those who love not God? Can it be that there shall ever come a time when God shall speak to us an eternal condemnation with the follow ing words: “Oh, that thou hadst heark ened unto my commandments; then had thy peace been as a river and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea!” Oh, for the peace, the everlasting peace, of God, which is like a river!

Atlantic or the Ganges finds a resting 1 1 place in the huge reservoir ol tiie Ben- , I kal gulf. A river cannot disobey natural law. 1 A river cannot become a free lance among rivers. A river cal not do any thing that specific gravity says “thou shall not do.” This fact Is demonstrat ed everywhere. 1 climb one of the tall pyramids of the Rooky mountains. There upon the highest peak 1 find what is called a waterslml. Then as I stand upon this watershed 1 repeat to myself the beautiful words of the poet; • Ood sent his messenger, the rain. And said unto the mountain brook, "Rise up and from thy caverns look And leap with naked, snow white feet From the cool hills into the heart Of the broad, nrtd plain.” But, though the mountain brooks may leap from the oooi hills into the heat of the broad, arid plain, It makes a great deal of difference into what plain that falling raindrop shall go, whether it fails one Inch to the right or one inch to the left of tin- Rocky mountain wa tershed. One Inch to the right it flows into the gulf of Mexico;.one to the left it flows into the waters of the Pacific. The waters of a river must obey natural law. Now, If God’s laws are inexorable in regulating the source and the course of a river, are they uot equally inexorable In reference to the source and the course of his divine peace, which Is like a river? The Condition* of I’enee. You must obey God’s laws before you can enjoy God’s peace. To resist them, to disobey him. Is to sot yourself against omnipotent power and infinite wisdom. It is not necessary tliat God should punish you for it; yon bring the punishment on yourself in failure and disappointment aud eternal wreck. Your whole nature is given over to anarchy and lawlessness. Only as yon yield to his will do you put yourself in llu*' with the eternal order and enter into peace. I d*» not euro how much yn t.tiiuy think vour wry h Is-tter than • ; si * ways, one fact you must nnder- s!:.ml you cannot get. the divine peace, tlint our so cainsi peace is not like a river at all. It is more like a brackish, stag nant pool or as a dried up well that gives forth no water. "There was a very good well here once '’ buid au old farmer iu reference to a certain drink ing Irougrh- "Indeed.” answered a preacher on his vacation. "Is that so? I wonder what is the matter with it. ‘Neglect, sir, " atiswereu me lurmer. “First a 1 little rubbish got in It. then a little more and a little more and a little more. The dirt and refuse were not cleared out. ami the water grew worse and worse and less and less until at last the well became choked up. I wonder if there is any water at the bottom of this well?” “Yes.” said the preacher, “I wonder If there is any wa ter at the bottom of the well?” is that the figure of our peace? is it a well aud not a river? As the Mississippi river is f**d by the Missouri, the Ohio, the Tennessee and the Red rivers and Indirectly by the Allegheny, the Mouonguliela, the Yel lowstone and the Platte, so from many sources might the river of our peace re oelve the waters of blessing, but In stead we allow the dirt and refuse of this world to choke the passages by which they might enter and our river dwindles Into a stagnant pool. Have we become dried up spiritual wells? As the tourists dropping pebbles into Jacob's well have choked It up, some of us have choked up our gospel wells. Years ago we dropped the pebble of Sabbath desecration into it. Years ago iu went another pebble -absence from Sunday school and church worship. Years ago we took to reading the Sunday newspapers instead of the Bi ble. No wonder that our peace, which should pass all understanding and be like a river, widening and deepening each year, is like a brackish, stagnant pool or dried up like Jacob’s well. If It be not like a river, the fault Is ours and not God’s. God is pouring dowu upon us everywhere his showers of spiritual blessing, which we should gather, freshet like, into the river beds of our heart. But the pleading river not only teaches our iclutionship to God, but also our practical sp.mual relationship to our fellow men. It clearly and em phatically ami distinctly says, “Gospel peace must lie eyes to the blind, food for the hungry, clothing for the naked and happy firesides for the homeless." It teaches man that the first great com mandment is to love the Lord our (|o*l with all oar soul and strength nhd mind.

Oh, brother, may your gospel peace be uot like the glit tering grandeur hidden iu the darkness of a Luray cave in Virginia or of a si lent river Styx flowing through the dark halls of a Mammoth cave of old Kentucky! May It he a river of life, bringing peace and Joy and hope to all who are willing to bend down their parched and sinful lips to lap of the spiritual waters. A River of Trlamph. But I cannot close this sermon upon this boautiful text without finding one more symbol. The pleading river Is not only a river of consecration to God. but a fiver of triumph. It Is not ouly the crystal gates through which, as the Jordan of death, we ahall enter the tomb, hut It is the crystal gates by which we shall leave the wilderness of trouble and earthly wanderings and en ter into the promised land of heaven and eternal joy. Shall our peace, which Is like a river, stop at the brink of the grave? We have rend how George Frederick Handel on the river Thames won his great musical victory over the irate George I. of England.
