■ r- : . ■ DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK ? Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable. Almost everybody who reads the news papers is sure to know of the wonderful 1!=^ H F“ cures made by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, S yr ii | , the great kidney, liver 111: and bladderremedy. It fEkV; tj. It is the great medi- f ’ s j cal triumph of the nine- l!i|]|{ teenth century; dis- jj'i'l covered after years of Ij scientific research by Dr. Kilmer, the emi nent kidney and blad- ' der specialist, and is wonderfully successful in promptly curing lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou bles and Bright’s Disease, which is the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is not rec ommended for everything but if you have kid ney, iiver or bladder trouble it will be found just the remedy you need. It has been tested in so many ways, in hospital work, in private practice, among the helpless too poor to pur chase relief and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which all readers of this paper who have not already tried it, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling more about Swamp-Root and how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper and send your address to Dr. K ;, mer&,Cc. Bing- iiamton, N’ Y The :egula- fifty cen. and dol ar sues are scjd ov Calmage Sermon By Rev.

BILIOUSNESS A" N p CONSTIPATION /.CURED BY Because the liver is neglected people suffer with constipation, biliousness, headaches and fevers. Colds attack 1 the lungs and contagious diseases take hold of the system. It is safe to say that if the liver were always kept in proper working order, illness would be almost unknown. Thedford’s Black-Draught is so successful in curing such sickness because it is without a rival as a liver regulator. This great family medicine is not a strong and drastic drug, but a mild and healthful laxative that cures con stipation and may he taken by a mere child without possible harm. The healthful action on the liver cures biliousness. It has an in vigorating effect on the kidneys. Because the liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous acids along with the waste from the bowels get back into the blood and virulent contagion results. Timely treatment with Thed- | ford’s Black-Draught removes the | dangers which lurk in constipation, | liver and kidney troubles, and will positively forestall the inroads of Bright’s disease, for which dis ease in advanced stages there is no cure.

Feb. 20.—In this sermon the preacher gives a vivid ue- (icriptlon of the “great awakening’’ which Is just now stirring the Pacific- coast, contrasting it with other famous revivals and pointing out the lesson it teaches to the nation. The text is Reve lation xiv. 15, “The time has come for thee to reap.” “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision.” rescued by surrendering their hearts to Christ. Oh, what, glo rious news it is that reaches us from all lands telling of old fashioned reviv als! As in bygone days, God is visiting his people. On every hand the Holy Spirit is moving on the dull and lifeless churches, rousing apathetic Christians and bringing thousands of sinners to the foot of the cross. Australia has her Pentecosts, New Zealand her Ponte- costs, England her Pentecosts, rock ribbed Scotland her Pentecosts. Christ mas Evans* beloved Welsh hills have witnessed such an outpouring of the Holy Spirit as no living man has ever seen before. Rough miners and cul tured scholars, old men and children, have been stirred by a mysterious pow er and have turned to the Lord. Our own dear land is sharing in the blessing. Great tidal waves of revival power have rolled up from Georgia. Great tidal waves of revival power have rolled forth from Pennsylvania and New York and Colorado. Great j tidal waves of revival power are now rolling forth from California to the far east. Conquering revivalists every where. God has harnessed to Ufei gos pel chariots of revival tire an Evan Roberts, a Chapman, an Ostrom, a Tor- rey, a Biederwolf and a Sbaeffer, the soul winner of little children, and scores of other mighty gospel chargers In this modern work of grace. Truly God has poured out his Spirit upon all flesh. Our sons and our daughters are prophesying. Our young men are see ing visions. Our old men are dreaming dreams. O Spirit that inspired the Wesleys and Whitefleld and Finney and Baker and Cartwright and Moody, lead thou us on in this widening gospel! movement for the redemption of a sin ful world for Christ! But, though the revival spirit has ap peared in many cities, I do not believe its mighty power has yet been demon strated to a greater degree anywhere than in our own beloved city of Los Angeles. Here for the past few weeks , we have seen many public buildings at the same hour crowded with anxious seekers after Jesus Christ. These build ings were thronged on Sundays. Yes, | but they have also been thronged on , week nights. They have also been thronged at 12 o’clock noon, as well ns at 12 o’clock at midnight. They have j also been thronged in the mornings and in the afternoons. Everywhere Chris tian people have been reconsecrating their lives to their Saviour." Every where, like the ancient Philippian jail er, anxious men and women have been asking the modern Pauls and Silases, “Sirs, what must 1 do to be saved?” Everywhere gray haired old folks, broad chested men and women in the prime of life and agile limbed, clear , eyed youths and maidens have been praying for salvation; multitudes have arisen In the public meetings, asking prayers for their mothers and fathers, their sisters and brothers, their chil dren and their friends. Meaning of the Manifestation. What is the meaning of all this won derful manifestation of the Spirit’s power? Is there any law not yet dis covered that governs such movements? Is It possible that in the spiritual world, as In the natural world, there Is a close connection between cause and effect? Is there anything that we as individ ual Christians can do to bring into operation these life giving showers of divine grace? Is it possible that If we as Christian people continue to obey God’s law we can have a perpetual re vival of divine grace In our churches and homes every morning, every noon and every night? Before paying a grateful tribute to the great evangelistic leaders who or ganized this Los Angeles revival I would acknowledge with sincere rever ence our debt to the inconspicuous Christians who day by day for months besonght God for this season of bless ing. The religious and the secular newspapers have been giving column after column of space in recounting what the consecrated exangelists have been doing for Christ. Thousands of sinners In their meetings have signed the cards pledging themselves to Christ's strength to lead a Christian life. The picture of J. Wilbur Chap man ami Henry Ostrom and W. E. Bie derwolf and others have been scattered broadcast In hundreds of homes. But I am sure I voice their convictions when I tell you that this great ingatn- eriug of souls Is not due to their ef forts. They have been merely the In struments used of God to reap the harvest which comes primarily from the Holy Spirit’s operations. It Is the work of God In answer to the pleading of Christian men and women who spent night after night In prayer bofort the welcome train brought our beloved brethren from their Pittsburg, Binning lem. The marvelous sights we have wit nessed in Los Angeles during the 1. -t few weeks are n<»t the work of any hu man agency, but of God. Those were the results ' of faith—the faith that moves mountains. When God’s people pleaded with him for this blessing they put their trust in one who never fails.
