The prevalence of earache and neural gia among women and children this year is attributed by a well-known doctor in Boston, Mass., to tho draught which is created between the face and tho high sleeves now in vogue.

Miss Annie Reeve Aldrich, who is achieving some reputation as a poet and story writer, is a tall, graceful and rather, statuesque girl.

Consequently she is the idol of the peo ple, and society is ruled by her without a murmur. Earrings with drops aro again to be seen, but the drops are dainty and small. An exceedingly attractive pair of earrings consists of pear-shaped pearls pendant from a diamond. Thistles in diamonds, just the flower falling downward, afford pretty car ornaments.

The original invention in poplin is claimed by Avignon, France, once a Papal Seo, on which account it was called papalinc, iu compliment of tho reigning Pope, at which time (the ffifteenth century) this rich material was .produced to supply the gorgeous ecclesiastical vestments and hangings in use. The industry was iutroiluced’into Dublin by French immigrants, refugees, at the time of the revocation of tho Edict of Nantes, who settled in that part of the Irish capital called the “Liberties.” The La Touche family established the first organized manufac tory there, which commenced operations in 1693, 1 KEY. DR. TALMAGE The Brooklyn « Divine’ll ?Sundav SermonS 19 f Txxt i "Faith without works Jas. if., 20. The Romart Gathollo Church has been charged with putting too much stress upon good works and not enough upon faith I charge Protestantism with putting not enough stress upon good works connected with salvation. Good Works will never save a man, but if a man have not gool wor’?"? h * has no real faith and no genuine religion. 1 here are thoee who depend upon the fact that they are all right inside, while i^eir conduct is wrong outside. Their religion for the most part is mad • up of talk—vigorous ♦ 11 ta * k ’ ^ oas ^ u * talk, perpetual • it T “ ey entertain you by Uh* hour in telling you how good they dre. Thby come up to such a higher life that we have no patieuc? with ordinary Christians in the plain discharge of their duty As near ns I can tell, this ocean craft is mostly sail anti very little tonnage. Foretopmast staysails, to re topmast Studding sail, maintopsail, miz- zentopsnll—every thing from flying jib to miszen spanker, but making no useful voy age. Now the world has got tired of this and it wants n religion that will work into all the circumstances of life. Wo do not want a new religion, but the old religion applied in all possible directions. Yonder is a river With steep and Mcky banks, and it roars like a young Niagara as it rolls on over its rough bed. It does noth ing but talk about itself all the way from its source in the mountain to the place where it empties into the sea. The banks are so steep the cattle cannot come down to drink, it does not run one fertilizing rill into the adjoining field. It has not one grist mill or factory on either side. It sulks in wet weather with chilling fogs. No one cares w hen that river is born among the rocks, and no one cares when it dies into the sea. But yonder is another river, and it mosses its banks with the warm tides* and it rocks with floral lullaby the water HIHes asleep on its bosom. It invites herds of cattle, and flocks of sheep, an I coveys of birds to come there and drink It has three grist mills on one side and six cotton factories on the other. It is tho wealth of two hundred miles of luxuriant farms. The birds of heaven chanted when it was born in th» mountains, and the ocean shipping will press in from the sea to hail it as it comes down to the Atlantic coast The one river is a man who lives for himself, the other river is a man who lives for others, Do you know how the site of the ancient city of Jerusalem Was chosen? There were two brothers who had adjoining farms. The one brother had a large family, the other had no family. The brother with a large family said, “There is my brother with no family; he must be lonely, and I will try to cheer him up, and I will take some of the sheaves from my field in the night time and set them over on his farm and say nothing about it.'* The other brother said, “My brother has a large familj\ and it is very dif- ficult for him to support them, and I will help him along, and I will take some of the sheaves from my ov\n farm in the night time and set them over on his farm and say noth- 1 ingabout it.” So the work of transference went on night after night, and night after night, but every morning things seemed to be just as they were, for though sheaves had beeu subtracted from each farm, sheaves had also been added, and the brothers were per plexed and could not understand. But one night the brothers happened to meet while making this generous transference, and the spot where they met was so sacred that it was chosen as ihesite of the city of Jerusa lem. If that tradition should prove un founded it will nevertheless stand as a beau tiful allegory setting forth tha idea that wherever a kindly and generous and loving act is performed that is tho spot fit for some temple of commemoration. I have often spoken to you about faith, but now I speak to you about works, for “faith without works is dead.” 1 think you will agree with me in the statement that the great want of this world is more practical religion. We want practical religion to go into all merchandise, It will supervise the labeling o.: goods. It will not allow a man to say a thing was made iu one factory when it was made in another. It will riot allow the merchant to say that wAtch was manu factured in Geneva, Switzerland, when it was manufactured in Massachusetts. It Will not allow the merchant to say that wine came from Madeira when it came from California. Practical religion will walk along by the store shelves and tear off all the tags that make misrepresentation. It will not allow the merchant to say that is pure coffee when dandelion root and chicory and other in- gredients go into it. It will not allow him to say that is pure sugar when there are in it sand and ground glass. When practical religion gets its full swing in the world it will go down the streets, and it will come to that shoe store and rin off the fictitious soles of many a fine looking pair of shoes, and show that it is pasteboard sandwiched between the sound leather. And this practical religion will go right into a grocery store, and it will pull out the plug of all the adulterated sirups, and it will dump into the ash barrel in front of the store the cassia bark that is sold for cinnamon and tho brick dust that is sold for cayenne pepper, and it will shake out the Prussian blues from the tea leaves, and 1% will sift from the flour plaster of Paris and bone dust and soapstone, and it will by chemical analysis separate the one quart of Ridge wood water from the few honest drops of cow’s milk, and it will throw out the live animalcules from the brown sugsr. There has been so much adulteration Of m tkdcs of food that it is an amazement to me that there is a healthy man or woman in America. Heaven only knows what they juit into the spices, and into the sugars, and into the butter, and into the apothecary drugs. But chemical analysis and the microscope have made wonderful revela- t ion . The board of health in Massachusetts analyzed a great amount of what was called pure coffee and found in it not one particle of coffee. In England there is a larir that forbids the putting of alum in bread. The public authorities examined rifty-one pack ages of bread and found them all guilty. The honest physician, writing a prescrip tion, does not know but that it may bring death instead of health to his patient, be cause there may be one of the drugs weak ened by a cheajvr article, and another drug may l>o in full force, and so the prescription may have just the opposite effect intended. Oil of wormwood, warranted pure, from Bo,ton, was found to have forty-one per cent, of resin and alcohol and chloroform. Scainmony is one of the most valuable medi cinal drugs. It is very rare, very precious, i t is the sap or the gum of a tree or bush in B\ ria. The root of the tree is exposed, an incision is made into the root, and then shells are placed at this incision to catch the sap or tr.e gum as it exudes. It is very precious, this scammony. But the peasant mixes it w.th cheaper material; thf-n it is taken to Aleppo, ami the merchant there mixes it with a cheaper material; then k comes on to the wholesale druggist in Lon don or New York, and he mixes it with a cheaper material; then it conies to the re tail m u^gist, and he mixesit with a cheaper material, and by the time the poor sick man gets it into his bottle it .is ashes and chalk and sand, and some ot what has been called pure scammony after analysis has been found to bo no scammony at all. Now practical religion will yet rectify all this. It will go to those hypocritical profes sors of religion who got a “corner” in corn and wheat in Chicago and New York, send ing prices up and up until they were beyond the reach of the poor, keeping these bread* SiUffs iu their own hands, or controlling them until, tho prices going up and up and up, they were after awhile ready to sell, and they sold out, making themselves millionaires in one or two years-trying to fix the mat ter up with the Lord by building a church, or a university, ora bospita’—deludingthem- selves with the idea that the Lord would be so pleased with tho gift He would forget the swindle. Now, as such a man may not have any liturgy in which to say his prayers, I will compose for him one which ne practi cally is making: “O Lord, we, by getting a ‘corner’ in breadstuffs, swindled the people ot tho United States out of ten million (fol iar.-'. and made suffering all up and down the land, and we would like to compromise this matter with Thee. Thou k no west it was a vealy job, but then it was smart. Now, here wo compromise it. lake one per cent, oi tho pronto, and with that one per cent, you can build an asylum for these poor miserable ragamuffins of the street, and I will take a yacht and go to Europe, for ever and ever, am* u!” Ah, my friends, if a man hath gotten his estate wrongfully, and he build a line of hos pitals and universities from here to Alaska, he cannot atone for it. After a while this man who has been getting a “corner” in wheat dies, and then Satan gets a “corner” on him. He goes into a great, long Black Friday. There is a “break” in the market. According to Wall street parlance, he wiped <»< hers out, and now he is himself wiped out. >'o collaterals on which to make a spiritual loan. Eternal defalcation! But this practical religion will not only rectify all merchandise, it will also rectify all mechanism and all toil. A time will come when a man will work as faithfully by the job as he does by the day You say when a lldug is slightingly done. “Oh, that was done by the job!” You can tell by the swift- iu*.-h or slowness with which a haokman drives whether he is hired by the hour or by the excursion, If he is hired by the excur sion he whips up the horses, so as to get around and get another customer. All styles of work have to ba inspected. Ships inspected, horses Inspected, machinery in spected. Boss to watch the journeyman. Capitalist coming down unexpectedly to watch the boss. Conductor Of A city CAr sounding the (flinch toll to prove his honesty as a passenger hands to him a clipped riicke*. All tniiigs must be watched and inspected. Imperfections in the wood covered with putty. Garments warranted to last until you put them on the third time. Shoddy in all kinds of clothing. Chromos. Pinchbeck. Diamonds for a dollar and a half. Book- bindery that holds on until you read the third chapter. Spavined horses by skillful dose of jockeys for several days made to look spry. Wagon tires poorly put on. Horses poorly shod. Plastering that cracks without any provocation and falls off. Plumbing that needs to be plumbed. Im perfect car wheel that halts th<$ tVhold train with a hot box. So little practical religion in thfc mechanism of the world. I tell you, my friends, the law of man will never rectify these thing.-. It will be the all per vading influence of the practical religion of Jesus Christ that will make the change for the totter. Yes, this practical religion will also go into agriculture, which is proverbially honest, but needs to be rectified, and it will keep the farmer from sending to the New York mar Vet veal that is too young to kill, and when the farmer farms on shares it will keep the nan who does the work from making his ’’alf three-fourths, and it will keep the farmer rom building his pbsts and rail fence on b { * neiehbor’a premises, and it will make him shelter his cattle in the winter fctorm, and it will keep the old bidet from working on Sun day afternbori iri the new ground when no- liody sees him. And this practical religion will hover over the hous*, and over the barn, and over the field, and over the orchard. Yes,this practical religion of which I speak will come into the learned professions. The lawyer will feel his responsibility in defend ing innocence, and arraigning evil, and ex pounding the law, and it will keep him from charging for briefs he never wrote, and for pleas he never made, and for percentages ho never earned, and from robbing widow and orphan because they are defenseless. Yes, this practical religion will come into the physician’s life, and he will feel the responsi- bility as the conservator of the public health, a profession honored by the fact that Christ Himself was a physician. And it will make him honest, and when he does not understand a case he will say so, not trying to cover up lack of dia uosis with ponderous technicali ties, or send the patient to a reckless drug store because the apothecary happens to pa}’ a percentage on the prescriptions sent. And this practical religion will come to the school teacher, making her feel her re sponsibility in preparing our youth for use fulness, and for happiness, and for honor, and will keep her from giving a sly box to a bull head, chastising him for what he cannot help, and sending discourgement all through the after years of a lifetime. This practical religion will also come to the newspaper men, and it will help them it. the gathering of the news, and it will help them in setting forth the best interests of society, and it will keep them from putting the" sins of the world iu larger typo than its virtues, and its mistakes than its achievements. Yes, this religion, this practical religion, will come and put its hand on what is called good society, elevated society, successful so ciety, so that people will have their expendi tures within their income, and they will ex change the hypocritical “not at home” for the honest explanation “too tired” or “too busy to see you,” and will keep innocent re ception from becoming intoxicating convivi ality. Yes, there is a great opportunity for mis 'ionary work in what are called thri succriss- ! ul classas of society. It is no rare thing iow to sec a fashionable woman intoxicated ii tho street, oi* the rail car, or the restau- • ant. The number of fine ladies who drink too much is increasing. Perhaps you may find her at the reception in most exalted company, but she has made too many visits to the wine room, and now her eye i6 glassy and after a while her cheek is unnaturall;' Hushed, and then she falls into fits excruciating laughter about nothing, am* then she offers sickening flatteries, telling some homely man how Avell he looks, and then she is helped into the carriage, and by the time the carriage get to her home it takes the husband and coachman to get her up the stairs. The report fe, She was taken suddenly ill at a german. Ah! no. She took too much champagne, and mixed liquors, and got drunk. That was all. Yes, this practical religion will have to come in and fix up the marriage relation iu America. There are members of churches i who have too many wives and too many bus- | bands. Society needs to be expurgated and washed and fumigated and Christianized. We have missionary societies to reform Elm stre t, in New York, Be Herd street, Phila delphia. and Shoreditch, London, and the Brooklyn docks; but there is need of an or ganization to reform much that is going on in Beacon street and Madison square and Rittenhouse square and West End and Brooklyn Heights and Brooklyn Hill. We want this practical religion not only to take hold of what are called the lower classes, but to take hold of what are called the higher classes. Tho trouble is that people have an idea they can do ail their religion on Sunday with hymn book and prayer book and liturgy, and some of them sit in church rolling up their eyes as though they were ready for translalion* when their Sabbath is bounded on all sides by an inconsistent life, and while you are expecting to come out from under their arms the wings of an angel* there come orit from their forehead the horns of a beast. There has got to be a new departure in religion; I do not say a new religon. Ob, no; tut the old brought to new appliances. In our time we have hftd the daguerreotype, and the am’oroiype, and the photograph, but it is the same old sun, and these arts are only new appliances Of the old sunlight. So this glorious Gospel is just what we wont to pantograph the image of God on one sou 1 , daguerreotype it on another soul. Not a new Gospel, but the old Gospel put to new work. In our time we have had the telegraphic invention, and the telephonic invention, and the electric light invention, but they are all the children of old elec tricity, an element that the philosophers have a long while known much about. So this electric Gostiel needs to flash its light on the eyes an I ears and souls of men, and became a te ephonic medium to make the deaf hear, a telegraphic medium to dart in vitation and warning to all nations; an elec tric lirht to illuminate the eastern and west ern hemispheres. Not a new Gospel, but the old Gospel doing a new work. Now you say, “That is a very beautiful theory, but is it possible to take one’s relig ion into all the avocations ami business of life?*’ Yes. and T will give you a few speci mens. Medical doctors who took their re ligion Mdo every lay life: Dr. John Aber crombie, of Aberdeen, the greatest Scottish physician of the day, his book on “Diseases of the Brain and Spinal Cord,” no more won derful than h s l ook on “The Fhilosonhy of the Mor.il Fe dings,” and often kneeling at the bedside of his patients to commend them to God in prayer. Dr. John Brown, of Ed inburgh, immortal as an author, dying under th»* benediction of the sick cf Edinburgh, myself remembering him ns he sit in his study in Edinburgh talking to me about Christ and his hope of heaven. And a score of Christian family physicians in Brooklyn just as good as they were. Lawyers who carrie I their religion into t en profession: The late Lord Cairns, the tjucen’s a Iviserfor many years, the highest lezal nuthoiity iu Great Britain—Lord «’airn^every summer in his vacation,preach ing us an Evangelist among tho poor of his country. John McLean, Judge of the Su preme Court of tho United States and Presi dent of the American Sunday School Union, feeding more satisfaction in the latter office than in the former. And scores of Christian lawyers as eminent in the church of God as they are eminent at the bar. Merchants w’ho took their religion into everyday life: Arthur Tappan, derided in his day because ho establishe 1 that system by which we come to find out the commer cial standing of business men, starting that entire system, derided for it thou, himself, as I kn-w him well, in moral character A1. Monday mornings inviting to a room in the top of his storehouse the clerks of his estab lishment, asking them ah nit their worldlv interests and their soi itual interests then giving out a hymn, leading in prayer, giv ing them a few words of good a ivice, asking Hioni what church they amende l on the Sab bath, what tho text was, whether they had «ny especial troubles o their own. Arthur Tappan, I never heard his eulogy pro nounced. I pronounce it now. And other merchants just as good. William E. Dodge, in the iron business; Moses H. Grinncll. in the shipping business; Peter Cooper, in the glue business. Scores of men just as good as they wore. Farmers who take their religion into their occupation: Why, this minute their horses and wagons stand around all the meeting houses in America. They began this day l»v a prayer to God, and when they get home at upon, after they have put their horses up. will offer prayer to God at the table, seeking a blessing, and this summer there will bo in their fields not one dishonest head of rye, not one dishonest ear of corn, not one dis honest apple. Worshiping God to-day away up among tho Berksh’re Hills,or away down arnid the lagoons of Florida, or away out amid the mines of Colorado, or along the tonka of the Passaic and tho Raritan, where I knew them totter because I went to school with them. Mechanics who took their religion into their occti). at ions: James Brindley, the fn- bious millwright; Nathaniel Bowditcb, the famous shin chandler; Eliliu Burritt, the fa mou? blacksmith, and hundreds and tbou- sands of strong arms which have made the hammer, and the saw, and the adee, and the drill, and the ax sound in the grand march of our national industries. Give yoilr heart td God and theii Ail yorir life with good works. Consedrat* to Him your store, your shop, your banking hduM, your factory and your home. They sdy no one will hear it. God will hear it. That is enough. You hardly know of any one else than Wellington as connected with the vic tory at Waterloo; but he did not do the hard fighting. The hard fighting was done by the Somerset cavalry, ana the Ryland regiments, and Kempt’s infantry, and the Soots Grays and the Life Guards. Who cares, if omy the day was won! In the latter part of the last century a girl in England became a kitchen maid in a farm bouse. She had many styles of work, and much hard work Time rolled oii, ana she married the Son of a weaver of Halifax. They were industrious; they saved money enough after a while to build them a home. On the morning of the day when they were to enter that home the young wife rose at 4 o’clock, entered the front door yard, knelt down, consecrated the place to God, and there made this solemn vow: “O Lord, if Thou will bless me in this place, the poor shall have a share of it ” nine rolled on and a fortune rolled in. Children grew up around them, and they nil became affluent, one, a member of parliament, in a public place declared that his success came from that prayer of his mother in the door yard. All of them were affluent. Four thousand hafids iri their factories. They bullt dwell ing houses frir laborers at cheap rents, and when they were invalid and could riot pay they had the houses for nothing . One of these sons came to this country, ad mired our park®, went back, bought land, opened a great public park, and made it a present to the city of Halifax, England. They endowed an orphanage, they endowed two almshou&es. All England has heard of the generosity and the good works of the Crossleys. Moral—Consecrate to God your small me&ns rind your humble surroundings, and you will have larger means ahd grander surroundings. “Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.” Have faith in God by all means, but remember that faith without work* LABOR WORLD. Skilled Japanese get a penny a day. In New York City 100,(XX) men are idle. St. Louis (Mo.) painters work eight hours. * The Austrian shoemdkers strike has col lapsed. New York’s bakers’ union runs a class in languages. Rochester (N. Y.) shoemakers lost an eight months’ strike. The Amalgamated Society of Engineers has 06,000 members.

New York slipper makers working from sixteen to eighteen hours a day get 11.25 and *1.50. Home Boston (Mass.) railroad laborers only get 11.35 a day, while others roads pay *1.75 and *2. Sixteen thousand men and boys are out of employment in tho Connellsville (Penn.) coke mines. A drewers’ union at San Francisco, Cdl., has nearly doubled wages and reduced hours almost one-half. The K. cf L. invites all unions to join id the movement to form a third party with the Farmers’ Alliance. The coal miners’ risks aro shown by the thousands of widows and fatherless children in Pennsylvania’s coal region. Organized labor in Chicago, III., passed resolul ions against the employment of non union labor on the World’s Fair. Railroad employes, suffering indirectly from the granger attacks on railroads, will organize against such legislation. Berlin (Germany) polios have come to the conclusion that they are inadequately ] aid. A strike is possible unless their wages are advanced. It cost five cents to swear in a certain Grand Rapids (Mich.) factory, and tho bo* which coutaihs the fines and which Is now nearly lull is tobe sent to the heathen. The labor organizations of Indiana de mand, among other tilings, that the inhabit ants ot towns of more than 10,000 population shall have the right to vote on franchises. Ik you wear side whiskers don’t apply to the Pennsylvania Central Railroad for a job. It has long been tie'rule on that road and Its branches not to employ aside whiskered man in any eopacity. Joseph W. Smith, a former brakeman on the Boston and Albany road, was awarded *10,000 damages in his suit against the com pany at Boston, Mass., for the loss of an arm while coupling cars in 1882. The French Chamber of Deputies has adopted a bill regulating the employment of women and children in factories. The bill 1 as already been passed by the Senate. It provides for a working day ot ten hours and a day of rest in each week. The average wages of tho workingmen throughout the world are not more than flf teen cent* a day, those of tho laborers in India being ninety-six cents per month, and those of China about $7 per year. The high est wages are paid iu the United Stales, where the average is not quite *1 a day. The German Kaiser tins ordered a cansus hf the unemployed.

The writer was traveling one day in autumn by rail at about twenty-five miles an hour, when a company of flics put in an gppeaiancc at the car window. They never settled, but easily kept paco with tho train; so much so, indeed, that their flight seemed almost mechanical, and a thought struck the writer that they had probably been drawn into a kind of vortex, whereby they i, .re carried on ward with but little exertion on the part of themselves. Rut this notion was soon disproved. They sallied lorth at right angles from the train, flew to a distance of thirty or forty feet, still keeping pace, and then returned with increased speed and buoyancy to the window. To ac count for this, look at the wings of a fly. Each is composed of an upper and lower membrane, between which the blood ves sels and respiratory organs ramify so as to form a delicate network for the ex tended wings. These aro used with great quickness,and probably 600 strokes are made per second. This would carry the fly about twenty-five feet, but a sev enfold velocity can easily be obtained, making 175 feet per second, so that, un der certain circumstances it can outstrip a race horse, an insect as largo as a horse would travel very much faster than a cannon ball.—Neio York Commercial Ad- xertmr.

Y., Democrat and Chronicle, was re cently republished in this paper and was s subject of much comment That the ar ticle caused even more commotion in Roch ester, the following from the same paper shows: Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well known not only In Rochester but iu nearly every part of America, sent an extended article (jp this paper a few days since, which was duly pub lished, detailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be a certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal enquiries which have been made at our office as to the validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that fur ther in vest gation of the subject was deemed necessary. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Honion. at his resi dence, when the foliowing Interview oc curred: “That article of yours, Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the state ments about the terrible condition you were in and the way you were rescued such as you can sustainf” “Everyone of them and many additional ones. I was brought so low by neglecting the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It istrue I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the t : me; could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull paius and my stomach was out of order, but 1 did not think it meant any thing serious. “The medical profession has been treating symptoms instead of disease for years, and it is high time it ceased. The symptoms I have just mentioned, or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach of kidney disease more than a congh announces the coming of consumption. We do not treat the cough, but try to help the lungs. Wo should not waste our time trying to relievo the headaches, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys, the source of most of these ailments.” "This, then, Is wbat you meant when you said that more than one-half the deaths wbi ?h occur arise from Bright’s disease, is it. Doctor?” “Precisely. Thousands of diseases aro tor turing people to-day, which in reality are Bright’s disease in some of its many forms. It is a Hydra-headed monster, and the slight est symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. 1 can look back and re call hundreds of deaths which physicians de clared at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints which 1 see now were caused by Bright’s disease." "And did all these cases jiave simple symp toms at first?” “Every one of them, and might have been cured as I was by the timely use of tho same remedy. I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this mnttor and think I am help ing others to see the facts and their possible danger also.” Mr. Warner, who was visited at his estab- ment on N. St. Paul street, spoke very ear nestly : “It Is true that Bright’s disease had in creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that from ’70 to ’80 ite growth was over 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has carried off, and is taking off every year, for while many are dying apparently of paralysis and apoplexy, they are really victims of kidney disorder, which causes heart disease, paralysis, apoplexy, etc. Nearly every week the papers record the death of smr.e prominent man from this scourge. Recently, however, the Increase has been checked, and I attribute this to the general use of my remedy.” “Do you think many people art afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it; Mr. Warner?’’ “A prominent professor Iri ri New Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class on the subject of Bright's disease. He hod various fluids under microscopic analysis, and was showing the students what the in dications of this terrible malady were. ‘And now, gentlemen,’ he said; ‘as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show you how It appears in a state of perfect health,' and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his counto- ance suddenly changed—his color and com mand both left him, and in a trembling voice ho said: ‘Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; I have Bright’s disease of the kidneys;’ and in less than a year he was dead. The slightest indications of any kid ney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to any one.” “You know of Dr. Henion's case?” “Yes, I have both read and heard of it." “It is very wonderful is it not?” “No more so than a great many others that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means.” “You believe then that Bright’s disease can be cured.” “I know it can. I know it from my own and the experience of thousands of promi nent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians ami friends.” “You speak of your own experience, what was it?" “A fearful one. I had felt languid and unfitted for business for years. But I did not. know what ailed n e. When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty I thoughtthere was little hope and so d»d the doctors. I have since learned that one of the physicians of this city pointe 1 me out to a gentiemau on the street one day, saying: 'there goes a man who will be dead within a year.’ I believe his words would have proved true if 1 had rot fortunately used the remedy now knowd as Warner s Safe Cure.” “Did you make a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. H. H. Warner some three years ago, Doctor? was asked Dr. S. A. Lattimore) one of the analysts ot the State Board of Health.” “Yes, sir.” “What did this analysis show you?'' “A serious disease cf the kidneys.” “Did you think Mr. Warner could re cover?” “No, sir, I did not think it possible.” "Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him?” “I have chemically analyzed it and find it pure and harmless.” The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr. Lattimore in the community is be yond question, ati I the statements they make cannot for n moment be doubted. Dr. Henion's experience shows that Bright’s dis ease of the kidneys is one of th” most de ceptive and dangerous of all disetses, that it is exceedingly common, but that it can h > cured if ialc”o In time, Malaria )r believed to be caused by poisonous miasms arte- ing from low, marshy land, or from decaying vegeta ble matter, and which, breathed into the lungs, enter and poison the blood.
