A STRANGE STORY. I am a poor lawyer in a small town in the mountains of Kentucky. On a winter's night in 18— 1 was sitting in my office reading over my well-thumbed copy of the Code, hunt ng up the law of murder. I was smoking my pipe and had gotten up to stir up the embers in my stove.when I saw from my window, which fronted on the public square, a man walking along in what seemed to be a deep meditation. His hands were locked behind him, his head drooping op his breast an I his step was slow and weary. A dog followed at his hcols. The dog was a tierce-looking, bull-dog. It was a clear, cold night—bitterly cold —and the moon shone with such brilliancy overhead as to light up the square The rays of the moon, added to the whiteness of the snow which covered the ground a foot in depth, made the night as clear as day. The hour was late and I was surprised to see any one out of doors at such an hour.- The villagers were long since at home and not a light from any window could be seen. My curiosity was aroused, and having marked my page and placed my book on the table, I went to the window. I watched the man with a great deal of interest. As in all Western towns, the court-hou-e stood in the middle of the square. It was a solid old stone building with immensely thick walls which were sup orted by buttresses that jutted out at each corner of The four walls. A tall spire rose from,-*he building, in which the old brazen bell had r ng out its various calls for a century or more. bjs.spire cast a long, slender shadow over the'sqiWSe._The shape of the shadow being triangular, tfie'apex of ti reached directly under my window. In my desire to satisfy my curiosity about the solitary man whom I had seen, 1 walked to my door so as to be out of the shadow of the spire. I stepped out on the £oreh and saw a stranger figure than efore creeping along in the darkness of the shadow of the spire, every now and then with a hasty movement gliding into the corners >vbere the but-! tresses were. My astonishment and in- j > terest arose to a greqft degree. I softly stepped back into the threshold of my : door so as to be hidden from the view of ! both men, but where I could plainly see ; everything. It was growing exciting now, and my heart thumped against my breast with a noise, as 1 thought, that could be heard bv both men. When the man with the dog had reached the town pump and had stopped to drink from the nozzle, the person who had been creeping along in the shadow stepped suddenly out into the moonlight and with an oath rushed upon the first man. The man at the pump turned quickly at the sound of rapid footsteps approaching, and, seeing a man with arm upraised and brandishing a large knife rushing toward hm. lied with a loud scream or terror. The dog faced the pursuer. He seemed to be transformed from a dog into a fiend. With eyes fairly dart;ng fire, every bristle on his body standing up like quills on a porcupine,- he waited for his approach. With a growl of fierce., anger he sprang at the throat of the man with the knife. But the dog was beaten down by the man, who rushed on in pursuit. My tongue was paralyzed; I tried to call ■out. With my eyes almost starting from their sockets and all power of motion having left my body, 1 saw the pursuer gain his victim and with another oath plunge his weapon up to the hilt three or four times into the body of the screaming man; the murdered one fell and the murderer cast his knife into the snow and fled. By that time I had regained my senses. I am an old man and easily excited. I rushed toward the body of the murdered man, and when I had nearly reached it the body and the dog. which had crept to its master's side and was licking the dead man’s wounds, had disappeared. 1 stopped and stared at the snow where I had seen the dead man lying. With every nerve in my frame quivering with pain and excitement, I reeled and fell fainting in the snow. When I regained consciousness I was lying in the snow whore I had fallen, Baked and faint with cold and the excitement of the scene 1 had witnessed, I arose and crept to my office. Nearly stupefied, I could not. recall for the moment why I had fainted. ' 1 crouched over my stove and tried to collect my thoughts. My brain whirled amidst a chaos of con iioting emotions—doubt, fcrtr and belief. l'ho sto 6 having farmed my chilled body, with a nameless dread I went to my door and peered cautiously out, fearing lest I should see a repetition of that awful scene. Rut all was quiet, not a soul could be seen. It was nearly two o’clock, and the villagers were asleep. The moon was still khiiiing brightly and made each flake of snow shine with the luster of a priceless I diamond. Not a blot nor a foot-track | marred the white carpet of snow that i covered the ground. Nevertheless !

/ •when 1 closed my door I double-locked it and rolled mf table against it. I j frailed, my window-blind down, and i ighting my pipe sat down to think over i the startling incidents of the night J never had used liquor. 1 could not attribute it to that. My mind was perfectly clear at the time. I had never experienced an optical delusion. I would swear on my dying bed that I saw these men, heard the screams of the murdered man at each stroke of the knife, heard the growl of the dog and even the crunching of the orisp snow as the men ran over it I saw the bodv as it lay there with red blood gushing from the wounds and staining the snow. I do not believe in the supernatural; and as I relate this, years afterwards, I believe now as firmly as l did then that these strange things took place, but | let me go.on and relate the incidents that followed this strange occurrence. On the next mbming I went to old JSquire Harris’ “o dinner. The’Squre ana his family were the aristocrats of the place. Their home was a grand old mansion on a high hill that overlooked the lovely little valley in which the village nestled. It was the habit of the ’Squire to give a dinner once a month to all of his friends in the village. I was one of his particular frieuds and owed many a kindness to the good old man. On that morning I trudged up the steep path to the hall, as it was always called by the village folks. On my way up I heard a noise in the thick undergrowth that bound the path on either side. I stopped, thinking I might surprise a marauder in the ’Sqnimfs ground. 1 pushed aside the bushes and upon lodKnjphrough I saw only a dog. Bat, Heavens stove! it was the same dog 1 had seen the previous night The same fierce bull-dog.

My horror and astonishment eansed me to Jet the bashes slip from my grasp, and the snapping of the twigs made the dog utter a low, vicious growl and run frantioaly at the place where 1 stood. The growl in its very sound and menace was the same that I had heard before. I fled up the path, the dog in pursuit, but fortunately for me on the other side of the hedge. 1 began to fag' under the strain of the steep asoent ana the horroi of having the scenes of that night brought so vividly before me again. Having nothing to defend mysell with against the dog. I became very much alarmed at my danger. Witt a savage growl the dog leaped the hedge and would havo attacked m< had not a harsh voice ailed out at the mo

ment, • "nown, sir. down." itie animal immediately i rouchod and cringed a) the feet of a gentleman who suddenly appeared from around a curve in the path. The gentleman politely lifting his hat said: “He is a dangerous animal, sir, but very dear to me. Allow me t( apologize to you for the discomfort ht has occasioned you.” At first I was toe much exhausted to speak. When 1 looked at him what was my horror anc surprise to face the man whom I hac seen foully murdered, as I thought, the i night previous. With staring eyes and | mouth open through excess of" terror, ray first impulse was to run as fast as my two tired limbs would let me. He lookod at me in astonishment at my seeming fear of him, and said: “Yob are ill; did the dog bite you before 1 called him?” «Courage having returned : to me I answered him: “ No, sir: I am perfectly well, tut very badly winded by the chase.” He smiled at my rathe' grim joke and we then walked on “in s len e to the hall. The ’Squire mel us at the door, shook my hand cordially and introduced me to my companion. My companion’s name I foun 1 was Randolph. 1 went into the ’Squire’s library, and after we had smoked a cigar I asked the ’Squire who and what Randolph was. He told me that he a was lawyer. Jle had lived most of his life at Cleveland, Ohio, but on some a count he ha 1 left that place and wanted to settle in out village. He had brought a letter of introduction to the ’Squire and was a fnejt in the house until he could make ual arrangements for the purchase ol a home of his own. I then told the ’S uire what I had seen the night before. He laughed at my fears and jestingly told told me that I was a little daft. I answered him with a very serious face and told him Randolph was the man 1 hsd semi and that the doo was the same one, too. We then went into dinner. About twenty or thirty gentlemen assembled around the table. When t he wine and cigars were brought in, wit, humor and general merriment took possession of all except Randolph and I. Hejyas morftse-and taciturn. 1 was" frightened and disturbed by thf« events which had happened. The wine was faking effect, and a continuous roar of laughter went up froni the table. Randolph was silent, so was I. The dead man (for such I believed he was) suddenly looking up, beckoned tc me apd gave me to understand that he wished to see me after dinner. I didn’t like the idea of having a convers vtioo with a corpse, but I consented. It was dark when we bade our genial host good-n ght. Randolph touched me on the arm as I turned to go and said he would walk down to the village with me on his way to his tavern. I could not object, but cold chills crept ovei me at the thought of walking alone ai night with a murdered man. We started down the path with that fiendish dos following at our heels. As we neared the bottom of the hill, the moon rose. The moonlight gradually spread over the valley. The snow-covered houses below us, the glorious night and the strange appearance of the earth undei the ghastly light of the moon, in, addition to the companionship of a mai whom I had seen murdered, conduced m§ to screw my courage up. I stopped, turned to my companion and with t quaking hand laid upon his shouldei questioned him as to his life and th« reasons why he had left a large city tc bury himself in this out-of-the-wat village. “Mr. Maywood.” he said, “'] was a successful lawyer in Cleveland I was rich. I had made a name amonc my colleagues. I had a wife, a beautf ful, lovely girl. My wife’s brother« the cause of my refuge in this place. He wa- a clerk in a banking house. Like a great many men. he began U gamble. He became a defaulter. I, to hide M* shame and for mv wife’s sake, paid the amount he had stolen. She was ignorant of her brother’s theft The brother returned my kindness oni day by stealing from me. 1 sent hiu away in anger. Before he left the room he insulted me. I struck him. My wife took her brother’s part and deserted me on ac ount of my cruelty tc him, as she believed. That man has attempted three times to take my life. I was obliged to leave Cleveland and seek refuge from his murderous hand. My heart was broken by my wife’s de sertion of me. and I only hope for t peaceful death by coming here.” I could oontain myself no longer. 1 told Randolph what I had seen the night before. He became pale as death and with a trembling voice said ' “ I have received a warning, too. God forbid that 1 will have to leave this haven which I have sought for.” By this t me we had reached my door. His tavern was across the square. I bade him good-night and went in.. I hid hardly teen in a minute when I heard three or four loud s'reams ol agony and fear. I rushed out of doors just ip time to see Mr, Randolph throw up his hands in the air, reel and fall helpless in the snow, his dog crouohing b v his side licking his wound!;. A knife la d in the snow, glistening in the moonlight A man was running up the road and rapidly disappearing. All had happened as I have related. Lights flared in the village, windows went up with a bang, and in a few inodients an excited crowd had collected aro md the body and it was borne to the tavern. The murderer was afterwards found and proved to be the brother of Randolph’s wife. He had traced Randolph from pla e to place and at last killed him. He was convicted and prosecuted by me. His execution took place ton years ago. Was it not a strange story?—B. B. Allen, in N. Y. World.

Electrical Transmission of Pover. A novel application of the electrical transmission of power has lately been made at the Trafalgar eolleries, Forest of Dean. The electrical arrangements were carried out by the Pyramid Electric company, under the supervision of their managing director, Mr. A. Le Neve Foster. In this case m ele trie motor is used to drive a pump in the underground workings. The pump is employed for pumpingthe drainage water from some of the deep workings to the bottom of the shaft, whence the ordinary steam pumps raise it totho surface. The total vertical lift of the electric pump is one hundred and fifteen feet, while the length -of pipes through which the water is forced is some five hundred yards. A dynamo machine is placed on the surface for generating the current for working the motor, and is connected to it by wires led down the shaft and along, the workings, a distance of some five hundred yards. Messrs. Brain, the proprietors of the colleriea, express thbmselves perfectly satisfied with the resnlt of the undertaking, and propose still further to extend the utilisation of electricity as a motive power.—Journalof the Society oj Arts, London. —A New Jersey man has patented a stove that explodes at Uen o'clock at night He has four daughters.— N.

Care of Fowls la Winter.

Most persons who keep fowls derive very little benefit from them during the winter. They gain little if anything in weight, and the losses are often large. Many bir.is are Injured by the severe cold. They are liable to have their combs or feet frozen, or to become diseased or get out of condition." As fowls are generally selected and managed, very few eggs, are obtained during the winter season. As fowls are not generally a source of profit during the winter their owners are very liable to neglect them. This neglect is the chief cause of their being unprofitable, and of the "bad condition of the birds in the t spring. AU the gallinaceous fowls are of tropical <or semi-tropical origin. However long they may have been kept in cold climates they retain their love of a tolerably warm atmosphere. They also retain their desire for freon food and for a partial meat diet uring aU seasons of the year. Domesticated fowls raised in the Northarenotas well supplied with feathers as those that run wild in countries i aving quite warm climates. On this account they should' be well housed during the winter. They sutler in winter not only from the cold . but from the web They can endure a tolerably cold atmosphere provided they have suitable food and are kept dry If their feathers become wet and the water turns to ice they will sutler on account of it. The roof of a poultry-house should be tight and the building should be well supplied with glass windows on the sonth and east sides. If it is well; ventilated and kept scrupulously clean it may be artificially heated to good, advantage. Next to shelter and warmth the supply or food should claim attention. In. most parts of the West this consists almost entirely of raw corn. This is good! for a partial food, but it should not be> relied on exclusively for keeping fowls during the winter. Generally it should! not be fed oftener than once a day, and! the best time to give it to fowls is at; night. Other grains should he fed during the day, and it is desirable to so feed them as to afford a variety. Oats can l e given one day, rye the next, and then wheat screenings or buckwheat. The seed of sun' owers, broom-corn and sugar-cane are all desirable. It is best to give young fowls some cooked meal in the orm ot dough Coarse fat may be mixed with the dough to excellent advantage. Fowls of all ages require some meat,, or a substitute for it. Where wild rabbits are plenty, as they are in many localities, there is little trouble in supplying fowls with meat during the winter. There is always considerable waste meat about a farife house that can be given to fowls. The trini nyjgs of cut- meats, hearts and livers can be obtained from butchers. Vegetables of somekind should be given to fowls every day during the continuance of cold weather, ’ihe trimmings and rusty leaves of celery are excellent. Cabbages are also very good. These can be fed without preparation. Beets, carrots, parsnips, pumpk ns arid squashes are all good in their way, but they should be cooked before they are given to fowls. They may be mixed with meal to which coarse fat is added. Fowls are very fond of hash, and shew a greater preference for it t han most frequenters of city boarding-houses do. It can be made of scraps of lean and fat meat, potatoes, esculent roots, and flavored with mustard seeds, chopped on on3, or peppers. As a morning meal there is no hing superior to a hash made in this way. it should be served warm on clean boards or in low dishes. Many persons who keep fowls are very negligent about supplying them with water. They think it is not necessary to give them a supply oftener than once a day. Generally in the morning they bring in a pailful of water and pour it in a pan or other shallow vessri, and pay no more attention to tho water supply till the next day. The water may lree/e in the oourse of a few hours, if the weather is severely cold, and the fowls have nothing to drink for twentyfour hours. If the water is not frozen, the chances are that it will bo wasted or become too dirty to drink. To be of the greatest value to animals and biyds water must be pure and fresh. Hens that are laying eggs, or are expected to l»y eggs, require a largo amount of water.. Especially is this the case when they have little to eat but dry food. Birds that are producing eggs, like cows that are producing milk, require a large amount of water, for water is the largest ingredient of eggs and milk. It is generally more profitable to feed milk to fowls than, to pigs. Sk mined milk or sour milk can be fed to them to great advantage. If the weather is severely eold, it is better to convert the skimmed milk into curd. ‘It- forms a very good substitute for meat. Pulverized sheills, bones, or limestone should be provided for forming egg-shells. Sand or line grovel should also bo provided. When the weather is fair the birds should be allowed to exercise in the open air. They should also be encouraged to exercise in the poultry-house. • The encouragement may be afforded by putting in bundles of unthrashed groin, stalks of buckwheat, heads of sunflowers, and cabbage-heads, and allowing them to pivk ont what they want to eat. Strict attention must be given to killing vermin on fowls, and to keeping the insects away. This matter will require repeated attention during the winter season.— Chicago Tivies.

Wood Advice To Young Men. Hpn. Hannibal Hamlin,Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary to the C ourt of Spain, but residing in the city of liangor, County of Penobscot and State of Maine, has recently given some excellent and valuable advice to the students of Colby University. He advised them to devote more time to the vigorous practice of extemjtore speaking. Hot only the students of Colby University, but those of all other universities, colleges aud schools, may prolit by this advice of the venerable statesman. A half century ago Hannibal Hamlin began to shine as a debater, and though ho is not the most graceful or eloquent of our public speakers, he doubtless attributes much of his success as a politic an and statesman to his youthful acquirement of readiness and ease in extempore speaking. To be sure, we do not remember that Mr. Hamlin ever ranked as a first-class debater in the Senate, where his voice was rarely heard, except on motion to adjourn or reconsider, but it is a fact nevertheless, that he can speak well and gracefully, and upon short notice, as was lirst demonstrated at the little debating club on Paris Hill, and since that time upon the hustings of his native State, occasionally in the Senate chamber at Washington.’and recently in the gorgeous salon of the King’s palace at Madrid. New England is sadly" lacking in good public speakers. In Ohio, Kentucky and Virginia, there are more such to the square rod than there are to the square mile in the New England States. Some have the “gift of gab,” but in most cases the good debater and orator acquired his gilt by practice in his earlier years. The sehoolbov who shirks the 'declamation does himself a groat wrong. He should prepare carefully for this exercise, and develop whatever of oratorical Ability there is in him. As a result, he may not, like Hannibal Hamlin, Mold public office for forty-seven years, become Representative, Senator, Vice-President and Minister Plenipotentiary, bi.t should he become a lawyer, politician or statesman, he will find his skill and aptness as a debater and ready speaker of the utmost value and importance. But even if the boy intends to become a butcher, a baker, or a cjandle-stiok maker, the advice of the venerable Hannibal Hamlin should not be lightly considered, bat heeded and adootea. —Boston Fast,

Extra Feel. As our readers know, we advocate mixed farming —raising a little of everything, and as much as possible of everything. Spec'alists do well, but it requires more money to engage successfully in any one braueb of rural life, as the. raising of cattle, or sheep, or hog-!, or any one thing. A man with limited means can make a good living, and, at thq same time, improve an i make a goody farm an 1 home, by applying his energies to farming in general. This includes stock raising. Every farmer ought to raise as much stock as his land will maintain well, and no more. If he will study his business as closely and carefully as the merchant and lawyer do theirs, he will find many available sources of profit lying loosely about him. This thing of having but one cow, or two sheep, or three hogs, to every c ltivated ten acres of land is wasteful extravagance. It co ts something to get stock, we knoiT, but not so much as many think, if we only get about it right. The writer of this once bought a wickedlooking sow with seven pigs. If it had not occurred in Missouri and befose the war, he would be ashamed to mention it. Not that he is ashamed of having purchased a sow: but—such a sow. Well, that was in the fall of 1860. By the time the soldiers came along that way —one year later—it seemed as if the woods was full of good pork, and all from that sow and seven pigs. Wi had thirty-odd head of fair porkere thA we h id expected to feed—mot the soYliere with- The fact is mentioned mcrafe"to illustrate that stook maybe started from small and homely beginnings. ' But our theme now is not the increase of stook. It is the feeding well of what we have. Put every available ifem of feed into moat and wool. It doeX not pay t i ship com when we can put.it into beef, pork, mutton, or wool, and ship them. It rarely happens in Kansas that it s not cheaper to feed hogs or cattle than it is to ship corn, rye, oats, turnips anjl ,hay. Let ns all study the art of fooding. It is an art. Some men will ra se animals on half the food that others use. It requires study, good executive ability, patience and perseverj anc?. For feeding hogs we ought to have good Hoars and dry, warm feeding pens. Save every kernel o'" corn, and let the hogs eat them—not waste. Cattle ought to have shelter from storm:!. They need feeding troughs, racks, and dry, well-littered places to lie. Sheep need troughs and racks, and clean, well-ventilated houses. All kinds of stock need shelter and clean, dry quarters. But if we can not do as well as we would like to do, let us do as well as we can. At least, lot us save all the feed we can and put it into our stock.— Kansas Farmer. Zaantlam Windmills. Za&ndam is rather an important place. Many ships and boats are built there, many windmills thresh the air with their white arms, and grind every sort of thing that can be ground, and when they don’t do that thev saw wood and pump water. Its inhabitants are fearfully rich; at every jaunty villa we camo to our guide stopped us to impress on us some notion of its owner’s wealth. “AH these rich peope are windmillers;” lie could speak tolerable English, so we were spared the wild pantomime which, when expressive of four hundred windmills, takes some considerable room in a village street. We were ferried over the watery avenue which seems to be really (he main thoroughfare of the town. .There were the mill?, sure enough, miles of them—some four, I think—on each s de of the way, astfar into the dim distance as the* eye' ooMd reach. It looked like a lessen in perspective to try for the exact vanishing point

If any one desires to see Holland from its windmillv side, let that person by all means come to Zaandam, and be surfeited forever after. They all seemed to e thriving and flourishing, too; and when a windmillv town does flourish, it is (from a flourishing point of view) a thing to remember. It seems to lack reposefulness, if one cares for it, britfor one of an active temperament it is highly stimulating. It is not the place for a moony or absent-minded person, as there is always a chance of being brained by the merry wind-sail, unless one is somewhat aleirt There seems to be an unfathomable variety of individual taste in the matter of adorning and decorating some of these mills. They were nearly all as bright as pa nt or wash of every known hue could make them. None of the assthetie faded-leaf tones here either, but good, riotous, roaring reds, greens and blues, that seemed to sit at once on any mild talk of “broken tints” or •melting combinations.” Somehow they seemed to get the right tone under that delioious gray-blue haze that bangs so often over the landscape in H Aland. Many m 11s bad their little flower-gardens running down to the river’s edge, and the little summerhouse oveihanging the water, with its inevitable little motto expressive of the owner’s sweet content, like “l,ti»t in Rust," which at first sight looks like bad and improper English. It only means Rustic felicity.

CAUSE FOB APPREHENSION. Wlgr Mysterious Physical Troubles Arouse Special Dread—A Professional Experience. Few things give more pain thandread or ap* prehension. Most people are able to face apparent danger heroically, but the suddeu aud unexpected coming of some indefinite calamity tery naturally stakes terror to e?en tbe bravest. For this reason lightning and tornadoes are considered terrible; tbeir coming and going aw so sudden, unannounced and unknown. Fpr this.same reason an unknown -— . i^aouu au uu&uunu disease, some poison in the blood, some malady that is gradua'ly undermining the life, is specially dreaded by all thinking people. And, indeed, there are good reasons^or such dread, lor modern science has discovered that some virulent disorders show the least signs iu their beginnings, while they hate the worst possible symptoms. We k. ow of many persons who have doll and Uncertain pains in various portions of the body: who are unnaturaltv tired one day and apparently weil the next; who hare an enormous appetite at times and a loathing of fhod soon thereafter.

One obstinate case which came under iny ebservation, was that of a fireman of this city ’ "° aradied to me for treatment. The case vas diagnosed parenchymatous nephritis. 1 he man was twenty-four years of age; plethoric and light, complected. He stated that o-PS:' entered from urinary troubles from childhood, and that he had “doctored” a hundred tames, each time improving some; ? Iter which, in a short while, he would relapse Into his former state of misery, l prescribed the usual therapeutics .known to the profes- . tton with the same res ilt that my colleagues bad obtained. He got better for a while and then woree aga^; in f. et, so bad that he hud to lay ofT for sometime. He suffered intense pain; so much so that I confess I had to resort to hypodermic injections of morphia. My druggist, who knew how disgusted 1 was with t he eas“, although no: willing to desert the man, advised me to try a remedy from which he (the druggist) himself had .derived great lienefit. As a drow ning man e.ttches at a straw, J. prescribed this remedy, not letting my patient, however, know what I was giving him; mid, although not a be: lever in nor a ; at ron of "patent medicines,” I n ust confess that lifter my fireman had taken one bottle he grew fhuch better. I made him continue its use for a period of two months, with the most gratifying results; it ready worked wonders, and he owes his cure and. present perfect health solely to the remarkable power of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, tin remedy which I prescribed, and he used. Since the recovery of the m n above trenfiioned, I have given considerable thought to idle subject of acute nephritis, or kidney diftlnulty, and I find that fts manifestations are most remarkable. It often appears without any special symptoms of its own, or possibly us a sequel to some other disease. It may be n sequel to ^scarlatina, diphtheria, and other illnesses, and even arise from pregnancy. The first symptoms frequently show themselves in the form of high, fierce and intense pains in the lumbar region, “the small of the back,” troublesome meturitionsand frequent changes in the color of the urine which at limes diminishes perceptibly. If the urine is : entirely suppressed, the esse, probably, will terminate fatally In a very few days. Dropsy is a consequence of the suppression of urine, aud the severeness of it is governed bv the proportion of retention. The nervous system becomes prostrated with subsequent convulsions and irregular eiieulation of the blood, which, in my estimation, eventually might cause a diseased heart to give out. As I have remarked, in many kidney diseases—yes, even !.n Bright’s disease itself— there is no perceptible pain in the back, am i these troubles oft en assert themselves in various symptoms—for instance, in troublesome diarrucei, blood ;x>ison, impaired eyesight, nausea, loss of appetite, disordered digestion, loss of conliciousness, husky voiee and many other complaints too numerous to mention. Indeed, housards of people are suffering from the lirst stages of Bright’s disease to-day, aud they do not blow it iu conclusion, 1 would like to state that I have, since my success with the fireman, rejieatedly prescribed Warner’s Safe Kidney and ■Liver Cure, and If my professional brethren could ouly bo brought ao far as to overcome l heir prejudice against proprietary medicines they would, undoubtedly, find themselves recompensed for their supposed s -crifice of libertv, as we'l as by the g rest benefits that would accrue to the world.
