The Flood at St. Louis. St. lx)ci!. May 2. llie washout in the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad dyke or embankment in East St, Louis, "hich connects the island with the mainland, reported last ,nig!t,.3s about fifty feet wide. The dyke is :.UÜO ftet long, and runs parallel with and UMjO fest north of what is known as Bowman's dyke. The effect of the break was simply to nil the iace between the two dykes with water. The Rowman -dj-ie has been 'Strengthened in its weak spots, its Jow places raised, and i it is believed will now be capable of withstandin? the pressure upon it, but should the river rife -much auore the water will over flow the-dyke, in which case the result will e diietrous, -ut this embazkment is the ,ny barrier now between Ahe river and Cahokia Creek. and should itireak or over flow, the greater luirt, if not .all of East St. Louis would be inundated. The river is still rising, and a general inundation is imxaincnt. All Railroad Companies and the city authorities of St. Louis arc fully alive to the impeding danger, and are doing evrything possible to avert tke threatened ca2 amity. The river has risen about -seven inches trw4;iv ühil still ris.iii nuif fnat Mct tt tl.A wharf above the bridge is submerged, I ani in some places the water is standing in the first 4!oors .of buildings, necessitatiag the removal of goods to second stores, boutu or the bridge uie wharf is so narrow in some places that wagons can only pass by gaing into the weter, and all reliara aloiig the river iront are marly full of water.

In many places people have been obliged to abandon their homes and leave much of their property to the mercy of the Hood. GBOimU INTEKKSTLNG. Conkllng Will Fight Robertson at Any Cont, and Platt Will Kesigu 1C le Is Confirmed. New York, May 1. A Times dispatch from Washington says: "The controversy growing out of the nomination of Judge llobertson for Collector at New York is regarded by Republican Senators, so far as results are concerned, should the issue be joined in the Sonate over the nomination, as having passed beyond the mere question of individual triumph of the President or Senator Conkling, and as involving a breach in the party in the Senate of New York and elsewhere that would lead to disaster at the coming elections for members of the next Congress. If the nomination of Robertson is kept before the Senate, the Representatives say serious results will follow to the party. No matter what may be the action of the Senate, the question that the Representative Senators will be called ujwn to decide is. Will the rejection or confirmation be less disastrous in results? Conkling appeared by invitation before the Caucus Committee, and made a long and earnest protest against the confirmation, and to all appeals declined to modify his opposition in the slightest degree, "lie was determined, he said, to use every effort to defeat the confirmation, and so far as he was concerned nothing short of the withdrawal of Judge Robertson's nomination would avert the struggle. He would not only tight the nomination in secret session and at every stage, but should it be determined to act affirmatively on it, he would earn' the contest into the open session of the Senate and publicly arraign the President for his wanton breach of faith, pledged first at New York during his visit there. Prior to starting upon his campaigning tour in the West he had received positive assurances n humiliation would be I'Ut upon him and his friends in New York, and he would receive due consideration in all matters of this kind that affected the interests ot the Republican party in New York. The nomination of Judge Robertson was a violation of this voluntary tender on the part of the President, and was distasteful to himself, Senator Piatt and those leading Republicans of New York without whose labors the State would have voted for Hancock. This is said to describe substantially the attitude of Mr. Conkling before the Committee on the situation. There is further complication by the reiorted atti tude of Senator Piatt. , Ihe gentleman, ac cording to credible reports, will co-operate earnestly with ConKling to secure the rejection of Judge Robertson, but should he be confirmed Piatt having no desire to continue in a four years' war upon the Administration which he believes will follow, be will resign his seat in the Senate. The Committee.called on the Presi dent and made known the attitude of the New York Senators ami suggested, to avoid the threatened rupture in the party, he might withdraw llobertson s nomina tion. The President assurd them that in no event nor under any circumstances would he withdraw Judge Robertson's name. He had acted for what he believed to be the best in terests of the country and the Republican partv, and it was for the Senate to confirm or reject the nomination. Public Debt Statement.

. The Seaate. Washington, D, C, May 2. T1k unfinished business was laid before the Senate. t Mr. Farley called attention to the large number of nominations awaiting action, ami moved to go into executive session. The People has stated all parties were appealing to the Senate to consider the important matters in which they were directly interested. Petitions were daily coming from California, asking for the consideration of the Chinese treatv. Debate ensued between Messrs. Dawes and Farley on the Chinese question, receiving considerable attention. Mr. Beck said the Republicans had not dared to go into executive session, because of divisions in the party, on important nomi nations. He taunted the Kepublicans witn cowardice. Mr. Saulsbury denied the charge made by Mr. Dawes that the Democratic Senators were responsible for the delay in the transaction of public business, and asserted the contrary to be the truth. After reference to ltKidleberger and "that oargain, ne saia ne was not sure the Administration could have one-half of its nominations confirmed ex cept for the aid which it expected from the Democrats; but if this thing is kept up, if the Administration was to aid in strengthening the hands of repudiation in the Southern States, he (Saulsbury), for one. would say unhesitatingly that the Administration was not worthy of his support. A motion to go into executive session was lost yeas, 21; nays, 22. The hour was wasted upon dilatory motions, and the Senate adjourned. TELEGRAPHIC SPARKS. Rix thousand Albanians attacked three tabors of Turkish troops Saturday near Prisrind. The Turks were hard pressed as Dervisch Paha arrived with four tabors of troops and totally defeated the Albanians. The combined losses were 1,800 killed and wounded. A telegram from Brackitts, Tex., says: "The east and west-bound stages were robbed Saturday night near Sabina by a notorious tall and short man. The mail sacks were ripped and registered packages extracted. The stage from the east was held eight hours until the arrival of that from the west. Major T. T. Tell, the only passenger, lost $9; $l.yOO in checks he successfully concealed." A Constantinople cablegram says: "The re treat of the brigands who captured Sutor, the Englishman, demanding ransom for him, was cut off on the land side by the Turkish trcp., and by the sea by General Boats. A Turkish gun boat recently chased a bark which was believed to be manned by bricands. and having; several times vainly summoned her to stop, sank her. It is feared Sutor was on board the bark." The reports of the death of the King of Abyssinia are unfounded. Herr Gohard Rohlfs has reached Suez from his mission on behalf of the German Emperor to King John. He says be met with a cordial reception. King John charged him to negotiate peace between Abyssinia and Egypt. Herr Rohlfs accepted the mission provided Germany sanctioned it. He says he believes Abyssinia will declare war unless a definition is accorded. Intelligence from St, Petersburg reports that the manifesto of the Nihilist Executive Committee printed on the 17th of April, says: "The verdict against the Nihilists who have just received martyrs' crowns was dictated, as well as confirmed by the Czar. The first act of his autocratic will thus has been the hanging of women without waiting for his coronation. He has sprinkled his throne with the blood of the champions of . National rights. Over the graves of our colleagues we publicly affirm that we will continue our efforts for the liberty of the people. We will no more be deterred by the gallows than were ZolvielFand other champions of the last reign, after the event of the 13th of March." The Inundated Towns. Atchison, Kan.. April 30. The river has fallen about three inches since midnight last night. A strong east wind has been blowing to-day, lashing the wide expanse of water in strong wave against the Kansas shore, so that on this side there seems to be no abatement of the flood. The Champion learns that the village of Oak Mills, in the lower part of the County, has been almost destroyed by the flood. Seven buildings were washed away. A special to the Champion, from Troy, gays: In Ponaphan County, which is bordered on three sides by the river, all the bottom lands arc overflowed. The inhabitants are all out of the bottoms between White Cloud and Iowa Points and of the lower portion of White Cloud. All spaie houses and Churches of the latter place are filled with refugees. At Iowa Point the water is up to the windows of the depot. Burr Oak Bottom, northeast of Iowa, is overllowed. the water reaching to the eaves of houses. The inhabitants are all out in flat-boats or buoys day and night, getting out live stock and household goods. Some stock has been lost, and a large amount of grain destroyed in cribs and houses. There will be no crops of any kind raised in Burr Oak Bottom this season, and the loss will be very heavy. Many of the iahabitaiits will need assistance to enable them to live. El wood Bottom, extending from Belmont to the Polenes chores, met the common fate. The water extends to Wathena, and stills are almost hourly running the eniire distance from St. Joe to Wathena. There is great damage to stock and grain. The inhabitants are quartered in Wathena or encamped around the villnge. The lower part of George City is overflowed and the adjacent bottoms are sharing the common suffering. Troy is practically the eastern terminus of the Western and St. Joe Railway. The mails from the Fast are piling up in the postoftice and hundreds of registered letters are in the safe. The Express Com pany hs $1,170.(100 In pold bars stored In the vaults of thebank.it having been shipped from the Pacific Coast and detained on this side by the flood. The Torktown Celebration.

FOREIGN NEWS.

GREAT BRIXALX. BOOTH'S APrEAKAXCK 15 L0XD05. ; Lokdos, May 2. On account of the first appearance of Edwin Booth . at the Lyceum to-night, as Othello, the house was packed immediately after the doors opened. The audience was a brilliant one, and included Minister Lowell and party from the United States Legation. The performance excited great interest in the literary world, and among its well-known members present were Edmund Yates, George Augustus Sala and Dutton Cooke. The piece was splendidly mounted. Upon- their, first appearance all three princiial performers, viz: Booth, Irving and Miss Terry, were greeted with enthusiastic applause. Othello's speech to the Senate was much applauded, as well also as Iago's (Irving) soliloquy in the second act, in wich he reveals designs against Othello, containing the sentence "'Tis here, but yet confused." There were calls before the curtain after the first and second acts, but though the performance to this point was very successful, the remarkable demonstration was to come. In act three, during the long conversation in which Iago gradually allows Othello to draw from him his suspicions, the attention of the house was perfectly rivited. There were frequent movements to applaud both performers, which were immediately suppressed by protests on the part of those who wished "nothing to be lost. This interest was sustained up to the closing of the long conversation between the two principal characters, but the subsequent episode, where Othello rushes upon and seizes Iago, did not appear to create so much of a 6ensaticn. Booth was apparently Butter ing from a Blight weakness of voice. After the act was concluded there were enthusiastic calls before the curtain. The fourth act was well-received, but passed without any very noteworthy incident. In the closing act the audience did not, as usual, cause in terruption by shuttling about, preparing for departure, and when the curtain fell there was a great demonstration, extending even to cheering and waving of huts. There were set arate calls before the curtain; then Othel lo, Iago and Desdomona came on together. In reply to the renewed clamor, Irving came out alone and made a humorous speech, thanking the -audience for its kind and en thusiastic reception. He said it was ex trerrely gratifying to him to see that the engagement (meaning that of Booth) had met with so gratifying a reception, and to have his old friend Booth with him. After a few more words of thanks generally Ln behalf of the company, Booth was again tilled, but merely acknowledged the ap plause and disregarded the calls to speak. GATHEBIXQ TO THE FUXKRAL. London, April 2C From early morning rail' way trains have been arriving at Wycombe, bring ing large numbers of people of all classes for Xlughenden, to be present at the funeral of Lord Beaconsfield. The weather is showery. The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Counaught ani Prince Leopold, the latter bearing a large wreath from the Queen, left Paddington at 1 o'clock. The same train took the Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of Hamilton and a number of -members of the late Government. The Marquis of Ilartington left Paddington somewhat later. Gladstone, according to latest accounts, had not gone to Hughenden. Flags are at half-mast and other signs ot mourning are displayed in various towns throughout the country, ine crown at Beacon field s funeral is somewhat ies Than was ex pected Many persons who intended to be present nave probably been detained .ay the occasional harp showers of hail. The Itiucess of Wales sent a wreath. The burial service comnleted. all the nrincinal mourners entered the vault and placed wreaths on the co ill u, and before the vault was closed it was literally crammed with flowers. RUSSIA. THE GRAVITY OF AFFAIK8 Ilf RCSSIA. New York. April 29. A correspondent at St Petersburg says: "It would be difficult to exaggerate the gravity of tie situation in Rus sia at the present moment., .never before was there the need of a steady hand at the helm so deeply and so universally felt It required nothing less than the tragedy of the 13th of March to open men's eyes to the fact that reform, which the Revolutionists endeavored to wring from the Government by deeds of bloodshed, can not and must not be long delayed by the majority of Intelligent personsi In the matter of intelligence the women of Russia are much superior to the men. If they ventured to formalste their desires' they could repeat the demands contained in the last proclamation of the famous Executive Com mittee. It is surprising '. to see how much there is iu common between Russian intelligence and the revelutionary party. Distinction lies between them not in the end, but in their means. Tho very absence of that freedom which demand and all desire, leaves the Russian reformers no choice but silence or sedition. No one who has traveled through Russia lately can have failed to mark the dinerence between the peasant and the peasant of the present Servile politeness has giveu rlace to independence, rude and sometimes brutal. When the id man bows to a passing stranger, youth goes on his way with a sullen suire. The latter t . . it gerou8 knowledge of his rights and wrongs,which makes him, in many cases a willing listener to int-iduous intimations of revolutionary propagandists. Go where you will, from the White Sea to the Black Sea, Irom the Danube to the A moor. ) peasants are awaking from the death-like slftmber of centuries. The springtime of National life is dawning; trees still look withered and deadf winter snow stil. whitens the ground; chilly slert rustles through the branches, but the sap is Asiog. and leaves, blossoms and fruit will aoou sr.ilng forth. What sort of crop It will be, depends, mainly ou the decisions that must shortly be taken. "Meantime, the Emperor lives in retirement at C.atsc.nena,and sees no one but Prince VarioutaorT Dnahkoff. .. "People speak'in official circles of the moral abdication, and shake their heads when they speak of the future. It may bo, however, that ere long we shall have a manifesto of some sort, and an indication of the policy to be pursued. At present there is none, and Russia is without a Government" , . Ireland; Dillon's si-ekch. Dcblijt. May 2. When the train arrived at' King;bridge Station to-day, a posse of police was there, it is believed, with a warrant for the arrest of Dillon, but he was not on board. It is thought he etopped at Waterford and took the steamer for Milford, and will appear in the Commons to-niidit. Dillon's speech in Tipperary last evening was one of the bitterest and most uncompromising be has made. Hie advised the IH?ople to keep within, the law, not ecause he respected it, but for the sake of preserving their organization. They must exercise their ingenuity to sail as close to the line as possible. f DILLON ARRESTED. John Dillon was arrested at 8:30 this evening, at Port Arlington, on his way to Dublin. Dillon was arrested in a railway, train upon a warrant dated April 30, charging him with inviting persons to forcibly oppose and resist the execution of processes of law for giving possession of land and to riot and assault. On his arrival at ' Dublin he was taken to Kilmainham Jail in a cab. There was not the slightest attempt at popular demonstration on the arrival of Dillon at Dublin, but few persons being present. The warrant for the arrest of Brennan is already made out. ' Forbidding Picnics Fire. ; Dutroit, Mich., April 2- Bishop Borquess, of this Roman Catholic Diocese, baa issued a pastoral, in which be says: "We hereby forbid and prohibit Jonen uu every uiuioug id our viwwv w a ue aid lfl arranging, or orgnajring a public flCöl

An excursion came from Vernon over the V., U. and R. After a street parade. Grand Master Myers delivered an address at the Presbyterian Church. The celebration was concluded b7 a banquet at Odd Tellows' HalL The Democratic Convention to-night nominated the following city ticket, vli: Mayor, Chris. Shane; Marshal, Chas. Little; Clerk, Thos, Greenfield; Treasurer. Stephen F. Rogers; Councilmen, Rosa II. Look, Brutus Hamilton, John B. Logan, ind George Kwlng. all of whom are Democrats "of the first water." There axe fair prospects of electing the entire ticket, though the city is Republican. Bonner, the present Mayor, and candidate for re-elecüon, has not given satisfac tion.

Minturn, of the old and well-known firm of Grinnel, Miuturn & Co., bad shot himself on Saturday morning. The New York Tribureol Sunday monung gives the details of the sad af fair as follows: Minturn oaly recently retured from Europe where his iusmly now is. and has been staying at his mother's house, No. CO Fifth avenue, He left home; about 8 o'clock th:s morning, aud his friends were under the impression that ho was going to the pier of the White Star Steamer Germaniac to Magood-by to his brother-in-law, H. H. Kinpsland. who, with his family, sailed for Europe on the vessel. He is supposed to have gone directly to his office, as he arrived there soon after. Hia entrance was noticed OJily by the porter. Minturn went by a private stairway to his office on the third floor, fronting on South street and after spending about an hour there without seeing anybody went out. He returned shortly afterward, re-entered his office without speaking to anybody, and was not seen alive Hgain. Iiis recent long absence in Europe had left him ignorant of the routine business of the otlice, and his not addressing anybody, and not giviny any order., therefore, did not excite remark. At about 10 o'clock George Turner, a a colored man who acts as porter and janitor on the premises, heard what he thonght sounded like a Pistol shot. He said so to one of the clerks employed in the outer office, but the noise from ine street tciow seems to nave auayed suspicion, and ao further attention .Jwas paid to the colored man's remark.. Turner received an order shortly afterward to go on some errand up town, and did net return until 12 o'clock. Noticing that the door leading to the private oflice was still shut he ventured to knock, and, receiving no answer, opened iL Iu a corner, his back against a lounge, his feet against the lower part of a window seat, and his chin resting oh bis chest, was the body of Mr. Miuturn. Life was extinct. Mood was oozing from bis hps and the back of his head, forming a pool of blood on the floor. A large Colt's navy revolver w ith one chamber emptied had fallen from his band and lay in his lap. At this time Robert B. Minturn, his brother, and II. F. Sewnll, members of the firm; were in the outer ofiice. Turner qnickly told them of his discovery. They rushed into the room, but Minturn had been dead apparently about two hours. The ball had entered the roof of the mouth, had passed out of the back of the bead, and was found lodged in the ceiling. His physical infirmities preyed upon his mind, lie felt himself a burden to his friends, and did not think life without health was worth living. He said that people in the street turned upon him and pointed their fingers at him: that it was impossible to escape them : that wherever ke went he was persecuted. He felt himself to be an object of derision and abhorrence on the part of those into whose society be was thrown, and be could not stand this shite of things, be said, any longer. Mr. Minturn was in his forty-third year. Hia family relations had always been extremely happy, and be was devoted to his children.

Soaie Valuable Thoughts Concerning Hu man Happiness and Timely Suggestions About Securing It. Synopsis of a Lecture Delivered by Dr. Chas. Craig Before the Metropolitan Seientlflc Association. "The public speaker of the present day labors under difficulties of which the speaker:- of the last century never dreamed, for while Vie r uiiences of the past received what was said wi'.bout question, those of the present day are usr.a"y the mental,equals orsuperiors of the ones who & i iress them. Rev. Dr. Tyng, of New York, when a theological student, supplied a Church in a neighboring town, and on his way to preach one morning met an aged colored man. 'Well, Cucle, do yon ever go to hear the young preacher? a'e i tha unfledged doctor. ' 'No, Massa,' replied the negro; 'dis chile don't let ncnco' dem students prsctls on him.' The darkey had begun to think. Th free and independent thought of this age atxepts statements only where they are proven to bo truth, while the development of menu! j-otver seems equally great In every other department of life. The valuable inventions of the day are counted by thousands. The Increase of sc.er.tiflc study Is universal. The spirit of inquiry in all fields is so marked as to cause COMMENT OX EVERY BIDE. while people seem investigating and advancir-.g la every direction which can help them morally. mentally or physically. This is especially true of the human body and everything which co Kerns It, and the truths which the people have fnnd. even in the last fifty years, are simply marvelous. How really Ignorant Bome cultured and s-r.r.iose-ably scientific people were only a few years ao as compared with the present day, may be letter understood from a few illustrative facts. A prominent writer prepared an elaborrfe e-jiy to prove that steamships could never cross t;ie Atlantic, and his pamphlet was issued just i:; ;irae to be carried by the first steamer that went to England. People once U.-'.-loved that the heart was tne-seal of life and health, jt is now known that this organ is only a r. amp, simply keeping in motion what other a'.i: mare important organs of the body have cre:..- l and transformed. It was once supiosed that if a person felt a pain in the back, the liver deranged: if a pain came iu the low er chest tlu- lungs were affected and consumption wasnea-:itls now known that a pain in the back in I t ates diseased kidneys, while troubles in the i.wer chest arise from a disordered liver aim n imperfect längs. A severe pain in the h.-a i was once thought to Cime from some partial derangement of the brain: it is now known that tr ibles in other parts of the body and away f.-.ai the head cause headaches, and that only by removing the cause an the pain be cured, it is a matteiof PRIVATE HISTORY that General Washington was bled to dent'.i. Hi? last illness was slicht, .ind caused prim ij'Al'.v by weariness. A physician was called who b'M'hini copiously.' Strange to say, the patient becamo no better. Another doctor wat called, wlu uain took away a large amountof the vital flui f Thus in succession four physiciaus drew away t'.:? life of a t reat man who was intended by nature for an old age, and who prematurely died mu.si.red by malpractice bled to death. That was u;e ot medical bleeding!" The sieaker then graphically described r.r :!:er period which came upon the people, in wiiich they assigned the origin of ail disease- u the stomach, and after showing the falsity cf this theory, and that the kidneys and liver wore the causes of disease, and that many people r sv.iienug irom xiuncy ana liver troubles to-'. i; do not know it, but who should know it a: tend to them at once, continued : "Let us look at this matter a little more c '. The human body is the most perfec and ;c most delicate of all created things. It is ;i wlio 1 ately. the able of the greatest results and it is liable to tu i.reat est disorders, ihe slightest causes soai iiaes seem to throw its delicate machinery out of order while the most simple and common-sense care restores and keeps them in perfect c-iniiti m. When it is remembered that the amount of liappiness or misery we are to have in this v. : 1 i is dependent upon a perfect body, is it not strange that simple precautions and care are not exercised? This is one of the most vital questions of life. People may avoid It for the presei.t. but there is certain to come a time in every one's experience when It must be faced. "And here pardon me for relating a lit:: personal experience. In the year lsTO I fou:,'! mvself losing both in strength and health.- 1 eou!d assign no cause for the decline, but it con.::u:ed, until finally I CAlled to my aid two prominent physicians. After treating me for some tiuu' thev declared I was suffering from Bright's disc.-; ov the kidneys, and that they could do nothing U me. At this time I was so weak I oould not " my head from the pillow, and I FAIXTED REPEATEDLY. My heart beat so rapidly it was with difiir-üv I could sleep. My lungs were also badly invj'.-vd ; I could retain nothing upon my stomach while the most intense pains in my back and beweis caused me to long for death as a relief. It v is at this critical juncture that a physical h ru-in? which I felt (aud which I most firmly believe was an inspiration.) caused me to send "for thi l-.sves of a plant I had once known in medical MM i tice. After great difficulty I at last secured tlie::i r.ud began their use In the form of tea. I t:t;d a lessening of the pain at once: I teri-. to mend rapidly; in five weeas I was able tobe about and in two months I became perfectly " ell, and have so continued to this day. Itwaouly natural that such a result should have cat:-- mo to investigate most thoroughlv. I careful!.- examined iields in medicine uever before explored. I sotiRht the cause of physical order and d r der, happiness and dn, and I found the kirtne-vs :r.d liver to be the governors, whose motiout re'.":lito the entire system." After describinü at length the offices of t".. : kidneys and liv jr. and their imjorUnt part u life, the loctor went on to say: "Having found this great truth. I saw c'.mrly the cause of my recovery. The simple veuiable leaf I had used was a food aud restorer t niv well-nigh exhausted kidneys and liver. 1: l:ai come to them when their life was pearl; u .iie. and by Its simple, yet powerful influen l:aJ purified, strengthened and restored then; a'nd saved me from death. Realizing the great V-iu-fit which a knowledge of this truth won'. I ive to the world. I began in a modest av to treat those alllicted, and in every case I f jund the same HAPPY RESULTS which I had experienced. Not only this but many, who were not conscious of ay physical trouble but who, at my suggestion, began t:i ; use of the remedy which had saved my iiie. f ::r.d their health steadily improving and their st-ength continually increasing. So universal, wher used, was this true, that I determined the f .: tire world should share in Its results, and. I therefore placed the formula for its pretention in the hands of Mr. IL H. 'Ws-:-.er. of Rochester. N. Y.. a gentleman whom ; hid cured of a severe kidney disease, and v. l o. by reason of his personal worth, high standi: s and liberality in endowing the Astronomical observatory and other public enterprises, has b.'voTie known and popular to the eniire country. This gentleman at once began the manufacture .f the remedy on a most extensive scale, and ? day Warner's Safe Kidney aud Liver Cure, ire pura remedy that saved my life, Is known and Ia all parts of the continent. "I am aware a prejudice exists toward proprietary medicines, and that such prejudice is too often well founded, but the valne of a pur remedy is no less because it is a proprietär-' medicine. A justiiiable prejudice exists toward nuueic doctors, but is it right that this prejudice th'.ld extend toward all lue doctors who are csr-.estly and intelliiteutly trying to do their duty? :iuse Warner's Safe Kidney und Liver Cure 'tu-vvd my life before it became a proprietary medicine, is it reasonable to suppose that it w ill not cure others, and keep still more from sickness now that it is sold with a Government stamp on the wrapper? Such a theory would be childish." The Doctor then paid some high compliments to American science, and closed his lecture a fallows: "How to restore the health when broken an i how to keep the body perfect and free from disease must ever be man'a highest study. That one of the greatest revelations of the present day has been made in ascertaining the true seat of health to be in the kidneys and liver, all scientist . now admit, and 1 can but feel that the discovery which. I have been permitted to make, aad which I have described to you. is destined to prove the greatest best and most reliable friend to those who suffer and long for happiness, aa well aa to those wüt deslro to keep the joya they now possess." .
