A GREAT REVELATION.

Synopsis of a Leclare Delivered bj Dr. Cnaa'Cralg Before the Metropolitan Scientific Aanoelation. The free nnd independent thought of thin age accepts statements only where they are prove • to be truth, while the development of mental power eeoma equally great In every other department of life. The valuable inventions of the day are counted a thousands. .The increase of aolen--9 study is universal. The spirit of Inquiry in all fields are no marked as to cause COMMENT ON EVERY BIDS, while people seem investigating find advancing in every direction winch can help them morally, mentally or physically. This la specially true of the human body and everything which oonoarns it, and the truths which the people haye found, even in the last fifty years, are simply marvelous. How really Ignorant some cultured and supposably scientific people were only a few yean ago, as compared with the present day, may be better understood from a few illustrative facts. A prominent writer prepared an elaborate essay to prove that steamships could never cross the Atlantic, and his pamphlet was issued Just in time to bo carried by the first steamer that went to England. People once believed that the heart was the seat of life nnd health. It is now known that this organ is only a pump, simply keeping in motion what other and more Important organs of the body have created and transformed. It was onoe supposed that if a person felt a pain in the hack, the liver was deranged; if a pain came in the lower chest the lungs were affected and consumption was near; it is now known that a pain in the back indicates diseased kidneys, while troubles in the lower chest arise from a disordered liver and imperfect lungs. A severe pain in the head was once thought to come fronl some partial derangement of the brain; ft is now known that the troubles in other parts of the body and away from the head cause headaches and that only by removing the. cause can the pain be <!ured. It is a matter of t

PRIVATE HISTORY that Gen. Washington was bled to death. His last illness was slight, and caused principally by weariness. A physician was called "who ‘bled him copiously.’ Strange to say, the Satient became no better. Another octor was called, who again took away a large amount of the vital fluid. Thus in succession four physicians drew away the life of a great man who was intended by nature for an age, and who prematurely died—murdered by malpractice—bled to death. That was the age of medical bleeding.”

The speaker then graphically described another period which came upon the people, in which they assigned the original of all diseases to the stomach, and after showing the falsity of this theory, and that the kidneys and liver were the cause of diseases, and that many people are suffering from kidney and liver trouble to-day who do not know it, but who should know it and attend to them at once, continued: # “Let us look at this matter a little more closely. The human body is the most perfect and yet the mostjielicate of all created things. It is capaable of the greatest results and it is liable to the greatest disorders. The slightest cause sometimes seems to throw its delicate machinery out of order while the most simple and com-mon-sense care restores and keeps them in perfect condition. When it is remembered that the amount of happiness or. misery we are to have in this world 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 present, but there is a certain to come a time in every one’s experience when Ibnfuat be faced. “And here pardon me for relating a little personal experience. In the year 1870 Pfound myself losing both In strength and health. I could assign no cause for the decline, but it continued, until finally I called to my aid two prominent phvsicians. After treating me for some' time they declared I was suffering from Bright’s disease of the kindeys, and that they could do nothing for me. At this time 1 was so weak I could not raise my head from the pillow and I

FAINTED REPEATEDLY. My heart beat so rapidly it was with difficulty I could speak. My lungs were also badly involved: I could retain, nothing upon my stomach, while the most intense pains in my back and bowels caused me to long for death as a relief. It was at this critical juncture that a physical longing which I felt (and which I most firmly believe was an inspiration) caused me to send for a plant I had once known in medical practice. After great difficulty I at last secured them and begun their use In the form of tea. I noticed a - lessening of the pain at once; I began to mend rapidly ; in five weeks I was able to be about and In two months I became perfectly well and have so continued to this day. It was only natural that such a result should have caused 'tne to investigate most thoroughly. I carefully examined fields of medicine never before explored. I sought the cause of physical order and disorder, happiness and pain and I found the kidneys and liver to be the governor, whose motions regulate the entire system.”

After describing at length the ojkidneys and liver and their important part in life, the doctor went on to say: > "Having found this great truth, j saw clearly the cause of my recovery. The simple vegetable leaf I had used ww » food ana restorer to my wellnigh exhausted kidneys and - ver. It had come to them when their life was nearly gone and by its simple yet powerful influence had purified strengthened and restored them and saved me from death. Realising the great benefit which a knowledge of this great truth would give to the world to begin in a modest w*y, to treat those afflicted and in every case I found the same

HAPPY REBTTI/T8 which I had experienced, Not only this but many, who were not oonacious of any physical trouble but who, at my suggestion, began the use of the remedy which had saved my life, found their health steadily Improving and their strength continually increased. So universal, where need, wng this cure, that I determined the entire world should share in its results, and I therefore placed the formula for its preparation in the ®£Mr. H. H" Warner of Roches* ter, N. Y., a gentleman whom I had cured of a severe kidney disease, and who, by reason of his personal worth, high standing and liberality In endowing the Astronomical Observatory and olher public enterprises, has become known and popular to the entire country. This gentleman at onoe began the manufacture of the remedy on a moat extras!ve scale, and to-dav. Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure! the pure remedy that saved my life! Is known and used in all parts oLthe continent. , 1

such prejudice Is too often w«H inunrit e<J, but um» value of a pore remedy is no less because it is a proprietary medicine. A Justifiable prejudice exists toward quack all the doctors who are earnestly and Intelligently trying to do their duty? Because Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure saved my life before It became a proprietary machine, is it reasonable to suppose that it will not oqre others and keep still more from sickness now that It Is sold with a government stamp on the wrapper? Such a theory wou’d beehildish.” The doctor then paid some high compliments to American science .and cloaca his lecture as follows: “How to restore the health when broken end how to keep the body perfect and free from disease must ever be man’s highest study. That one of the neatest revelations of the present day has been made in ascertaining the true a at of health to be in the kidneysand liver, all scientists now admit, and I can but feel that the discovery which I have precrlbed to you. Is destined to prove the greatest, best and most reliable friend to those who sutler and long fbr happiness, as well as to those who desire to keep the Joys they now posseak”
