^•aATAltllll of tlio Iddncys is a very
much neglected disease.
It is not until tho dise ase has a firm
hold upon the kvtlneys that tho patient
begins to realize that there is some Ue«
rangement of these organs.
Tho slight baebaches, iho -feelings of
| lassitude, and other warning symptoms
of kidney disease are overlooked.
They are not serious enough to detain
the patient from ids regular work.
Even when lie discovers that the kid-
nevs are affected, he does not recognize
the difficulty as being caused by ca
tarrh.
Catarrh is sometimes so very gradual
in its approach and its earlier symptoms
cause such slight discomfort that it is
not noticed.
However, when it is once firmly seated
in the kidneys, it becomes a difficult
disease to exterminate.
Indeed,catarrh of the kidneys is more
serious than catarrh affecting some of
the other organs of the body.
In the kidneys, it is liable to terminate
in Bright’s Disease or diabetes, both of
which are recognized as very serious
ailments, if not fatal.
The thing to be done, when catarrh of
the kidneys is discovered, is to take

Mr. David L. Jayeox, Chaplain Clar- -uine internal, systemic catarrh remedy,
inda 1. O. G. T. and Chaplain G. A. R., ; one that reaches the very source of the
865 Broadway, Oakland, Cal., writes:
“I am an old war veteran. I con
tracted severe bladder and kidney
trouble.
“I spent hundreds of dollars and
consulted a host of doctors, but
neither did me any good.
“Finally some of my comrades
who had been cured by Peruna ad
vised me to try it.
“I at once bought a bottle and
found it helped me so much that I
kept using it for nearly four months.
“Peruna has proven the best med
icine I ever used. My pains are
gone and 1 believe myself to be
cured.
“I feel well and would not be
without a bottle in time of need for
ten times its cost.”

catarrh and removes the cause of the
difficulty.
Such a remedy has been found in
Peruna. It reaches catarrh, no matter
where it may be
located in the
body—whether in
the more exposed
membranes of the nose and throat, or
whether in the remotest part of the
kidneys.
That Peruna is at once the safest and
most reliable rcmtSdy for catarrh of the
kidneys is proven by tho many testi
monials written by those who have ex
perienced its beuciits.
The testimonial given here is only a
specimen of the many testimonials on
our records, pertaining to the relief af
forded by Peruna in severe cases of kid
ney trouble.

A great deal of valuable information

is far greater in many of the lower ani

and they employ it in guiding them to
their food, in warning them of ap

to various odors is more uniform and

A Columbia scientist was praising
the other day the astronomical and
literary work of Percival Lowell,
says the New York Globe.
"One day just before an eclipse of
the sun.” said the scientist. “Mr.
Lowell told his darkey, George, that
if he would watch the chickens the
following morning about 11 o’clock he
would see them all eo to roost.
“‘Hi, hi,’ laughed George. ‘Hi, hi;
good joke.’ ”
“When on thg following morning
the sun darkened and the chickens
went to their roosts, George was
amazed and horrified. He found Mr.
Ijowell as soon as he could and said:
“ ‘How long, sah, did you know
bout those chickens?’
“ ‘Oh, a long time.’
“You knew it last year this time?”
"‘Yes; more than a year ago.’
“ ‘Well, dat beats all,’ said the as
tounded darkey, eyeing Mr. Lowell
with awe. ‘Dem chickens wuzn’t
hatched a year ago.’ ”

prisoners and the soldiers are aggre
gated in large groups or battalions
that their characteristic odor is recog
nized. Most diseases have their char
acteristic odors, and by the exercise of
the sense of smell they could be util
ized in different diagnoses.
For example, favus has a mousy
odor, rheumatism has a copious sour
smelling, acid sweat. A person af
flicted with pyaemia has a sweet, nau
seating breath. The rank, unbearable
odor of pus from the middle ear tells
the tale of the decay of osseous tissue.
In scurvy the odor is putrid, in chron
ic peritonitis musky, in scrofula like
stale beer, in intermittent fever like
fresli baked brown bread, in fever am-
mouiucul, in hysteria like violets or
pineapple. Measles, diphtheria, typhoid
fever, epilepsy, phthisis, etc., have
characteristic odors.—Philadelphia Rec

A certain Irishwoman, on her death
bed, called her husband to her side.
“Patrick,” she said, “I’ve a last ray-
quist to make of ye.” “I couldn’t ray-
fuse ye annything, Mary, darlint,”
responded the sorrowing husband.
“Patrick,” said Mary, solemnly. “I
want ye to lave mother ride in the
carriage beside ye to me funeril.”
“ ‘Tis too much ye’re askin' of me,
Mary!” cried Pat. springing to his
feet in desperation. Mary, however,
was determined "on this point, and
Pat finally yielded to her “last ray-
quist.” ‘TU lave her ride be me
side.” he promised, weepingly bitter
ly, “but mark ye, Mary, darlint,
’twill gphoil the day fur me entirely,
that it will!”

John Williams, a sarcastic wit and a
bacbeloi with an intense prejudice
against marriage. His clerk one day
asked him for a holiday to get mar
ried, and some months afterward, on
entering his chambers. Williams found
Ills dead body suspended from the
door. He engaged another clerk and
asked him if he was married. “No,”
the clerk replied, but thinking that Wil
liams would regard marriage as a
guarantee of steadiness he added, “but
I am going to la*.” “Very well,” re
plied Williams, "but understand this—
