Lovely and serene was the summer evening, in the year 1817, when a man apparently thirty years of age, and whim* naturally handsome countenance was marked with the traces of care and dissipation, entered the city of Florence. His garments were made in the most fashiouable style, but they were old and threadbare ;aud his dusty boots, soiled coudition autl languid walk bore testimony to the length and fatigue of his day’s journey. Nevertheless there "was an air of aristocracy about hfm which neither rags or suffering could efface; and his large black eyes were lighted with the fire of a proud soul aud a fine inteliect. He entered the beautiful 'Tuscan city between nine and ten o’clock at night, and presently stopped at a fountain to slack his burning thirst. That act on his part argued but indifferently for the state of his finances, as a brilliantly lighted case, where more comfortable refreshment might have been obtained, was close at hand. The traveler beheld it; and as he dropped the iron ladle, or spoon, which benevolence had caused to be fixed on edge of the fountain for the use of wayfarers as miserable as himself, he sighed, and murmurtd, “There—there was it that I first learnt the fatal habit which has made me what f am.” Then as if impelled by an attachment to the very habit which he-execrated in his soul,, he approached the windows of the case, and watched the games of cards at which the inmates were engaged. Presently the door of the case was flung open'; and two elegantly dressed gentlemen came forth. “You have been fortunate to-night, Blbler’s, said—one—a young man of about two and twenty, aa he took his companion’s arm. '“Pretty well, Vasari,” replied the other, who was at least ten years older, but who possessed a handsome countenance aud a tall, well-knit figure. “Ypu know that with my princely fortune the gain qr the loss of a few hundred pieces U nothing. But now let us repair to the Ferrod palace.” “The Ferront palace!” ejaculated the wretched traveler, who overheard the discourse.

“For to-night.” continued Ribiers, the beautiful Julia is to give me a decided answer whether she will receive my suit or not.” “To-night!” repeated the traveler; and he mechanically followed the two individuals whose discourse had apparently interested him so profoundly. . The Count de Riberia—for such was the person’s rank—and Signor Vasari pursued their way, without perceiving that they were followed, through several of the principal streets, until they reached a magnificent house, brilliant with light streaming from every window. The sounds of music echoed from within: and the air around was perfumed with the odors of the sweet flowers which festooned the open casements. The traveler watched the two gentlemen until they entered the mansion. He (hen walked slowly to the opposite side of the street, from which poinj he attentively watched the windows of the mansfon of the Marquis of Ferroni. Presently a group of ladies approached an open casement; and his eye fell upon one, -older but more beautiful than the rest, but whose cheeks were very pale, and whose air seemed to denote feelings by no means congenial with the gayety of the scene at which she was present. She was about twenty-five years of age: he* blue eyes were expressive of mildness; and her countenance wore a shade of melancholy. *! Tis she!” murmured the traveler; and he darted away, pecippately from the spot, 4aying to himself. “At all events I have seen her once more! And she is pale—and melancholy—and pensive! Can it be that she designs to bestow a thought on me?” The unhappy man wept as he asked himself this question—probably because he knew how unworthy he was of any interest on the of that beautifu being. He was hungry—but he for•goqthe cravings of want as he reflected upon wnat he had seen and heard that evelning—for he had heard that ahethe daughter of the Marquis of Ferro ni—was to give a decided answer to Count Ribiers that evening. And what would that reply be? " The miserable wretch hastened sway from the Vicinity of the Ferroni

mansion, and at length sank exhausted upon the step of the door. When he awoke again he was in a strange place—a cell, with white walls, an arched ceiling and barred windows met Us eyes. Scarcely had he time to collect his scattered ideas, when a gentleman in black entered the room, and appeared to be glad to flud him in an impproved condition of health. In answered to the questions put to him by the Invalid, this gentleman ■aid: “Yon were brought nit her four months ago from the hospital, to which place you had been conveyed in a state of Insensibility, having been K* iked up in the street at a late hoar. e condition into which Illness and other causes known only to yoanwlf, plunged you at the hospital, led to your removal thither.” “And where am j, then?” demanded the invalid, casting a terrified glance aionnd him. “In a lunatio asylum,” was the reply. “It is better that you should know the truth, than perplex your mind with the vain conjectures of ignorance and uncertainty. Compose yourself —Rod Id R.few days you will be quite restored to health, both mentally and physically. You can then leave the establishment.” “A lunatic asylum!” exclaimed the invalid with a shudder; , '‘And four months have passed away! “Four mouths,” repeated the surgeon; “but have you no friends whom you wish to be Informed of your p resent situation ?” “I have no friends. Mv own conduct has ilienated tnem all. I inherited a great fortune at my fathers death, eight years ago— and I was engaged to a lovely gin. But In an evil moment Ibecame a gambler, and killed a man In duel. I fled and In other Italian cities dissipated illmy wealth. The recent change ha the law concerning dueling In tne Tuscan state has induced me to retrace my steps to Florence, where I have an uncle who, perhaps will not refuse me a morsel of bread. But as for friends,” he added bitterly, who would be the friend of the gambler Ernesto Moral vi?” “Ernesto Morelvl!” cried the sur-

my namesaid the invalid.” “And you speak of wanting a crust!’’continued the surgeon. “Senor Morelvl, it is my pleasant duty to inform you that you are placed above want by circumstances — “Indeed, sir? Speak—do not keep me In suspense!” “The death of your uncle without a will has left you heir to his princely fortune. I was his medical attendant: and I have written to Rome and Naples—in a word, to every city in Italy—to seek for ypu.” “Providence has not deserted me, then!” ejacelated Ernesto; and he fainted through excess of Joy. ft ft * * * All Florence was excited by the news that the heir to ths immense wealth of the old banker, Signor Moralvi, who had diet! about a year previously, had at 4 length been found. But Erne to was an al ered man. He shunned all pleasure: the mere sight of a card made him shudder; and he passed his time, buried in his library, or in long solitary rambles-sometimcs on horseback, but more frequently on foot—on the banks of the Arno. The only star that could diflbse rays of hailpiness upon him, now shed lu a ter upon the dwelling of another—obedient to the imperious decree of an arbitrary father, Julia Ferroni had become the Countess of Ribiera. While Eroesto —from whom her heart had never for once been alienated, in spite of his vices and his absence — as tossing upon a bed of delirium, the hands of Julia and Ridbiere were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. Some months passed away from the date of Erhesto’B change of* for tune, and during that period he and Julia had frequently. * We are bound, as impartial historians, to state at first they met accidentally—then purposely. Court Ribiera was a neglectful husband. His time was passed in places of public amusement or private debauchery; and Julia’s conduct must ceitatnlvbeexteuuated, if not altogether excused, by this circumstance. „ How often she and Ernesto met we know not ; nor will we record the discourse which passed betweep them when they did so meet. Our purpose is to direct the reader’s attention to one particular evening, when Julia, in a charming neglige, was reclining upon the sofa in the bouboir, where over her fondly leant Ernesto Moralvi. Suddenly the door of an antechamber was opened, and the voice of the count issuing some orders to his valet, was heard. “My husband!” cried the affrighted woman. “Conceal yourself Ernesto —for my sake.” She glanced wildly around her; and her eyes rested upon a large, handsome and massively carved mahogany chest in the recess formed by one of the windows. Rushing toward It, she opened it; and. pressing a secret spring, a second lid, which divided the chest horizontally Into two. compartments, also flew open. “There —there! for my sake!” said the countess. “He never remains long at this hour —he comes to fetch money from yonder bureau, for his night’s diversions.” ' As the door of the room opened to admit*the count, the sound was echoed by"the falling of the seoond lid.

The countess was standing with apparent calmness, by the chest, the top lid of which was still open.. “What are you doing, Julia?” demanded the count, as he entered the room. „ . “Replacing these silver dishes and vases, which were used at yesterday’s banquet,” answered the countess, without the least apparent emotion; and she proceeded in a leisurely manner to convey several massive pieces of plate into the chest. “This is somewhat a menial employment for you, Julia,” said her husband. “I prefer counting the plate mysel" ere it be put away;—” and she placed the last articles in the chest. “You will be surprised, perhaps,. Julia,” continued the count, In a kinder tone than usual, “when I tell you that I am going to pass the evening with you here ’’ “You, my lord,” cried the countess. “Yes—certainly; and I have given Antonio orders to tell your women to serve up supper here.” The count threw himself upon the sofa;and Julia sat down upon a chair, her brain reeling. She felt as if hex* senses were leaving her. ‘•Tne truth is.” said the count’ after a pause, “I wish to consult you upon a purchase that I am anxious to make, or a beautiful seat in the vale of Arno; and as I am somewhat short of ready money at this moment, I thought that if your father But, holy Virgin! Julia, are you ill?” The countess gave no reply—but fell back senseless in her seat. The horrible ideas which filled her mind were too much for her to support; and nature was powerless beneath that load of agonizing terror. The count hastened to raise her—but she was a corpse! •#- • # Some year ago—twenty years after the occurrence just mentioned—the Count Ribiers returned to the Ferroni mansion, which, sinee the death of the oountess, had been uninhabited, save by a faithful steward and his wife, who had remained to take oars of the house, in which much valuable property had been left. The count returned from foreign travel with a young wife, whom he. though now advanosd in years, had espoused in Paris.

A grand eatorUinmeat sod ball were given to celebrate the return of the lord of the mansion, and to introduce the youthful countess to the eUm of Florentine society. Ere the supper was served up the countess, accompanied by several ladies, repaired to the boudoir, urged iy cuHoeity, to examine certain costly specimens of old-fashioned plate,of vi. . i - «.*.»u. had spoken, and which had remained undisturbed for years in a chest in that room. The count had moreover mentioned the existence of a seoond lid, with s secret spring, tbe lower department ot the box having been contrived for tbe better security of objects of great value or importance The countess raised the upper lid. and the old plate, dark and dingy with ru t met t >e eyes of herself and companions. A female attendant took tbe articles from the chest, and placed them upon the table. The countess theu, in accordance with the directions previously given her by her husband, pressed the secret spring: and the lower lid flewup. She uttered an exclamation of horror, and fainted in the arms of her attendant. That chest contained the remains of a human skeleton! On investigation next day, a ring was found in the chest; and on the stone was engraven the name of Ernesto. The secret of the sudden pang which bad caused the late countess’ death in so strange a manner and the mystery of Ernesto Morel vi’s abrupt disappearance from Florence precisely at tne same time were now explained.

A Long Journey.

Detroit Port tart Trtbaae When one of the trains to this city came in at midnight a few nights ago an old man was found sleeping in one of the seats; the conductor flashed his lantern into h<e face, the brakeman stirred him up, and one or two passengers looked at him carelessly, but no person seemed to belong to him. He was neat and clean, but thin and wasted by old age or privation. All sorts of troubles were mapped out on his clean, withered face, but the main thing just then was to get him awake and on his feet and out of the car. “1 say, old man,” yelled the con due tor in a seven league voice, “git out of this; doyer l.ear? This is Detroit. If you’ve got enny friends they’ll be looking for you.” He opened his eyes so wide and sudden that the brakeman and conductor and the curious passenger fell back on each other in a neap, but only his lira moved. “where’s Gracie?” “Who?’.’ asked the conductor', recovering his official voice. “Little Gracie—grandpa’s little pet! I brought her with me. Is she —is she there ?” “I guess he is not wideawake ytt,” said the curious passenger. “Suppose you help him to nis feet.” Conductors are experts in helping people to their feet, and this one was no exception t 6 the rule. He took the old man. by (he coat collar and stood him up, but he sank down the next moment limp aud motionless. Just then a depot hand came in. “The baggage master wants to know what your goin’ to do with that mite of a deal box over there, He don’t want any of that kind-Heft over, and there a*n’t no direction on it, but ‘Gracie’ ” “That’s her!” said the old man, and he stood up feebly. “Take me there. We’re going a long, long journey— Gracie and me; a long, long journey, but it don’t seem as isl knew the way right clear.” They took him in the depot and laid him on one of the benches and Eut his old carpet-bag under his head, ut he still fretted for his “leetle Gracie —bis p t,” and at last they consoled him by telling him she was resting, was asleep, ana must not be disturbed. “We’ve a long Journey to go.” ha kept saying to himself; and grandpa’s bany musn’t get tired. - It’s a long way, a long way.” The little “box,” with Gracie written upon it in,lead pencil, was safe enough with the other “freight,’’ and the old man slept peacefully at last. Some kind soul threw a rug over him near morning, and asked him wiiat train he was waiting for, but all the answer he made was, “Thank’ee, call me at sunrise. We’re going a long journey, Gracie and me.” He was called at sunrise by a voice that none may refuse, and when a flood of rosy light shone into the dreary room he was up and awaygone on his long Journey. Only the wbrn out body was there, and yesterday it was laid away with little Gracie in the stranger’s lot at Mount Elliott, alone, unknown, yet possibly In as “sure hope of a gracious ressureclion” as if marked by thirty feet of monumental clay.

Worcester (Mass.) Spy. Bathing on Earth so Good.

Certainly a strong opinion, said one of our reporters to whom the following was detailed by Mr. Henry Kaschop, with Mr. George E. Miller, 418 Main street, this city: I suffered so badly with rheumatism in my leg last winter that I was unable to attend to my work, being completely helpless. I heard of St. Jacobs Oil and bought a bottle, after using which I felt greatly relieved. In my estimation there is uothing on earth so good for rheumatism as St. Jacobs Oil. It acts like a charm.

Women Who use Tobacco.

In the course of a recent talk a prominent New York physician saia: “I didn’t think anything about that when I spoke, but it is nevertheless true that American women largely use tobacco. In fact, they always have. American ladies of African de- , scent in the south have always smoked their pipes, and their white sisters do not altogether disdain the pipe and ‘dipping?’ But here at the north many ladies have, in intimation of Cuhan Mexican, South American, Spanish, French and even English women, taken to the use of cigaretts, to their very great detriment.” “Why more so than to men.” “I don’t think men are often injured by the moderate use of tobacco in smoking. But the female body is no more adapted to the use of tobacco than the female mind is to mathematics. It causes neuralgia,headache, dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart, and, worst of all, ruins the complexion and disorders the teeth. I say nothing about the health, but I think, nevertheless*, that all will agree that the stale odor of tobacco coming from a woman’s mouth is worse than the same smell exhaled by a man. As tb chewing in men, and its analogy ‘dipping,’ in women, nothing can be filthier, and I knew that both are productive of diseases of the nervous system. “But, Doctor, does not smokingcause disease of the nervous system in men as well as women ?” “Certainly it does if indulged in to excess. But the men’s nervous systems are not so impressionable as women’s and hence a man can do many things with impunity or even benefit which would be impossible for a woman to do without great risk. And. besides, its does not make much difference to a man if his complexion ia sallow, his eye lustreless, his body shriveled, and his skin rough, whereas these things are very Important to women.” “I see yen are an admirer of beauty in women. Doctor?” ’’Yea, It is the greatest gift a woman can have, for ft not only means aesthetic enjoyment for all who look at her, but it means a healthy mind and a healthy body; and then the means neoetsary to preserve beauty

You hare got the subject off to .one that has no end, and on which n«» two persons exactly agree.” _ - ** | * - J T oaring been cured by St. Jacobs Oil, I recommend the same to all sufferers with Rheumatism, says Mr. L Hhifftnan, 2,804 Calumet Avenue, Chicago, 111.

EARNEST THOUGHT'S.

“Bill Nye” Talk to Yena* Mea in Regard . > tea Career. Young man, what are you living for ? Hare you an object dear to you as life, and without an attainment of which you feel that your life will have been a wide, shoreless waste of shadow peopled by the spectres of dead ambitions T You can take your choice in the great battle of life, whether you win bristle up and win a deathless name and owe almost everybody, or be satisfied with scabs and mediocrity. Many of those who now stand at the head of the nation as statesmen and logicians were once unknown, unhonored and unsuiitg. Now they saw the air in the halls of Congress, and their names are plastered on the temple of fame. You can win some laurels, too, if you will brace up and secure them when they are ripe. Daniel Webster and President Garfield and Dr. Tanner and George Elliot were all, at one time, poor boys. They had to start at the foot of the ladder and toil upward. They struggled against poverty and public opinion bravely on until they woo amame in the anna's of history, aud secured to their loved ones palatial homes, with lightning rods and mortgages on them. So may you if you will make the effort. All these things are within yonr reach. Live temper ately on $9 per month. That’s the way we got our start. Burn the midnight oil if neoesary. Get some true, noble-minded young lady ot yotfr acquaintance to assist you. Tell her of your troubles and she will tell you what to do. She will gladly advise you. Then you can marry her and she will advise you some more. After that she will lay aside her work afiy time to advise you. You needn’t be out of advice at all unless you want to She. too, will tell you when you have made a mistake.. She wili come to you frankly and acknowledge that you have made a jackass of yourself. As she gets more acquainted with you she will be more candid with you, and in her unstudied, girlish way, she will point out your er; ore, and gradually convince you, with an old chairleg and other arguments, that you were wrong, and your past life will come up before you like a panorama, and you will tell her so, and she will let you up again. Life is indeed a mighty struggle. It is business. We can’t all be editors, and lounge around all the time, and wear good clothes, and hare our names in the newspapers, and draw a princely salary. Some one must do the work and drudgery ol|fe,or it won’t be done.

MONEY-EARNING WIVES.

It is frequently a subject for thought and conversation as to why profesdonai women—actresses, milliners, dressmakers and principals of youug ladies academies, etc..-have so much trouble with their husbands; and it is as frequently observed that the husbands of money-earning ladies are idle or lazy, or both.or are dissipated, or else shrink into quiet nonentities who are apparently endured because of the feminine belief that it is good to have a man about the house anyhow. It is certainly true that the husbands of mou-ey-earnin , woman are generally the quietest and most unassuming 01 their sex—in their domestic life. To some this condition may appear a cause for merriment and riaicule, but in reality, it involves the serious question as to whether it is good for a man to marry a woman who desires or will be forced to earn her share of their income in actual hard cash, and not by staying at home minding the house and economizing in groceries, dry-goods, gas and fuel. A man who marries with this contingency staring him in the face risks a good deal concerning his domestic happiness, A woman who can contribute a share of money earned by her own labor to the common household fund 1b naturally prouder of it than a man would be, and womanlike, she wants to crow over it a bit, and it frequently happens • hat this crowing becomes irksome and embarassing to the man. His responsibilities as a man, as a husband, and a father are lessened, and with the burden that is lifted from his back goes something of his self esteem, something of self respect and sturdy independence. His pride in himself and nis self assurance receives a blow. We know there are many worthless shirks whose l unmanly selfishness and lack of pluck have thrown the heavy burden of providing for the home upon the slender shoulders of their brave and patient wives. We know too, how nobly a woman assumes such duties when they raise before her, and we know of her marvelous self-sacrifices and endurance, but these are not the money-earning wives we refer to. These generally marry with all the pretty dreams and hope of wifehood that are natural to young wives, and then, when it is too late, they discover that it is the woman who must be strong and the wife who must provide. Our original proposition is that a rightly proud man will do any sort of labor rather than have his wife work for him. If his wife has the time and the fancy to employ either her brains or her fingers in tasks that will bring remuneration, this money is hers, and not his. and when he begins to look forward to her earnings as a part of his income, he also begins to lose his pride In being the bread-winner and protector of his family. Another and a very strong moral reason why women whose husbands can and do support them, should not seek “plain work,”is that they may be taking work away from some woman who realey needs it.

How a Bishop Waltzed.

The Mormon church looks with disfavor on the familiarities of certain styles of modern dancing, and the bishops have sought to regulate this matter among the young and giddier saints. At a dance in Salt Lake recently the bishop expressed himself as highly displeased with round danses. He said that it was condemned by the priesthood, and If the saints could not get along without the round dances they had better go home. The young folks remonstrated with him but all to no purpose. “If you must wait*, let me show you how to do it,” said he, and' he got on the floor with a 188-pound blonde. The band struck up the “Blue Danube,” and away they slid. Down the hall glide the bishop and the blonde; the tips of their fingers touch and cruel space between them. This was the ohurch method—the priestly-improved arm’s length waits. Soon there was a slight contraction of the arms and the spaoe between them gradually dec-eased. Presently one ann encircled the fair form. The blonde was the first to give way, and her cheek looked like a sunflower in a turnip field as it rested on the shoulder of the man of God. Bound and rou . n ? . Went they, and the fascinatimr weird-like strain floated like heavenly mual « to his soul.

The interest wfiiea ae vital a topic has awakened, bo b ia the bat aad the West, the talk it kaa occasioned, nad the attention it is attracting from-ike boat seieatiSe aad medical skill which the lead afford*, have aremaaed the making of aome investigations. The prevalence of kidney difficulties being a fact which seed* no iaveetigatioa, the important aad valaable t rathe mast be those vhioa shall show tow the increase of these diseseee eea to Mopped, or, being ia ezisteaoe, hew they eaa be earotL Ia a recent It eta re by Dr. Charles Craig, delivered before the Metropolitan Scientific As■oeietioa, aad which has been published qnite extensively, to makes special mention, and ia a most emphatic manner, of n certain -peeihe recently discovered, which is an abnolnte onto for Bright's disease, as well as all ssinor kidney aad liver disorders. To test the validity of the statements sands by Dr. Craig, a 00l lection of seek data as caald to fouad was made, aad, after anmeroas inquiries aad investigation*, the following fasts were aeserad i A call wan made at the extensive store of C.* Jevne, Hoe. lit aad 111 Madison street. Mr. Jevne introduced the investigator to Mr. Frank A. Cl eland, a g* ntleman in bis employ, whoee father, Mr. Samuel Cle and, was known to have been very lew with kidney disease. Mr. Cl eland said : “My father was treated by a host of doetors, and tried any quantity of medicines, bnt to got so bed that not only he, bnt all his friend, tod given up hopes of his recovery. Hs was Anally recommended to try Warner’s Safa Kidney and LiverAtare, and all that I can say is, that to is to-dfay as well a man as there it in Chicago. Wa did not, any of os, know anything about the remedy, hat it did e wonderful thing in curing my father, and if he w*a in tto city now to would tell you so better then I can, for to is an eld journalist and knows tow ta talk to newspaper men.” At the first window in tto West Division Postoffioe, corner of Halstad and Washington streets, Mr. ▲. Q. Brown, the heed of that division, was found. Upon being questioned, Mr. Brown ■aid :

“Well, air, my wife was in n terrible condition for more than fire years. She eeemed to have a complication of dieeaeee, culminating in Bright’s ditcaae, sad she had been doetoied all tto way from San Franoiaco to Chicago. I have frequently seen her foil upon the floor insensible, and I never expected she would get up again. Indeed, I never went home bnt I was prepared to find her laid out dead. She tried everything we could think of, and the doctor* were all very kmd. At last she began taking Warner’* Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and the effect was very marked at onoe. She regained her etrength and .pints, has been able to attend to all her duties, and the terrible sinking spells shs formerly had have never returned. I consider it n most marvelous cure, and I cannot speak of the remedy too highly. Upon my recommendation my father-in-law, Mr. Lathrop, who is also terribly afflicted with kidney trouble, begun using tbs same remedy, and was net ealy entirely cured, but also relieved of a most painful strieturs. I would also stats that one of our lettercarriers who took Warners Safe Kidnsy aad Liver Care upon my recommendation has found it beneficial, and baa been enabled to return to his poet." Dr. T. T. Oliver, who was oonvereant with Mr*. Brown’s case, was called upon at his residence, No. 3,805 Cottage Grove avenue. His open countenance and long, snowy beard indicated an intelligent and well-inf rmedman. When asked concerning the ease of Mrs. Brown to said that shs had been in a most precarious condition. Hsr heart and lungs were badly affected, swing to the diseased condition of her iqdneysand liver, and the liability to sudden death had been imminent. -

“You consider then, Doctor, that Warner’s Safe Kidney aad Liver Cure was the efficient element in effecting her cure, do you?’’ “MosP 'ocidedly,” answered the Doctor, “and hsr euro seems be as permanent as it is gratifying." A visit was then paid Is the efflo* of Mr. E. St John, General Passenger and Ticket Agent of the Chicago, Kook Island A Pacific Railway Company. Mr. Melvin H. Robinson, in one of the departments, received the scribe meat courteously. He stated that, same time ago, his wife had been attacked ky a most serious kidney difficulty, immediately following gestation. This ocourrod while they ware residing at the Bast, and they employed some of the ablest physician* in New York City. In spit* of all, however, Mrs. Robinson grow worse, aad finally the wellknown Dr. Bucklyn recommended the ns* of Warns ris Safe Kidney and Liver Cure as a last resort. The effect of the remedy was most surprising, aad resulted in a perfect aad permanent cure. Mr. Robinson stated that, upon his ommendation, Mr. J. P. Woodbury, who is employed in the same office, had used the remedy in the case of his wife, and with the same favorable results experienced by Mrs. Robinson. A call was next made at MeVieker’s Theater, where the reporter found Mr. James T. Gibson, who has boon connected with the theater for a number of years. Mr. Gibson stated that to had been afflicted with a terrible kidney difficulty, which threatened to become Bright’s disease, and gave him the most intense pains. He had continued at his poet, however, although thore wore times when he had felt that it was almost impossible to do so. Warner’s Safe Kidnoy and Liver Cure has relieved him entirely, and he considered it the best remedy for kidney aad liver troubles that had ever been discovered. Upon being interrogated, Mr. J. H. MoVieker said that Mr. Gibson had been in his employ for a number of years, and whiis hs did not personally know of the sickness to wkieh hs referred, his statement could be relied npon. The next call was at the wholesale grocery establishment of Franklin McVeagh A Co., corner of Wabash avenue and Lake street. Mr. A. M. Rawron, the manager, said: “I hare had serious kidney troubles for a number of years, and have suffered considerable in consequence. I have tried numerous doctors and various remedies, and, finally, upin the recommendation of a friend, I was induced to us Warner’s Ssfe Kidney and Liver Cure. I took it, in connection with a diuretic, and am happy to say it has cured me entirely." Mrs. H. Saunders, residing at 421 West Ohio street, stated that both she and her mother had tried nearly every remedy for tho peculiar troubles to which they had been subjected, but without relief until they scoured Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Core. This remedy had done for them what both doctors and medioines had failed to do—it had cored them. The reporter then oalled on Mr. W. H. Flagg, No. 1,005 West Lake street. Mr. Flagg has resided in Chicago since thO city was in it) infancy, bnt the fact that he was thoroughly acclimated did not prevent him from having serious kidney and liver disorder*. He had tried various doctors, and experienced some temporary relief, but it was not until nehad tried Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cute that to know that ho was to bo well. As an evidence •>f the effeot of the remedy, ho stated that he had been up for five nights attending his sick wif% and, although it was somewhat thed, the exertion had not effected him otherwise. Such a test as this, he thought, conclusively rstablished the merit* of the remedy. The It aeoce to to drawn from the above facts areth* importance of treating each seri.ua matter* a* kidney and liver disorder* in time, aad by that mean* which has boon proven the best and most efficient wherever employed. *
