A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.

- . . * _ TTW > • -«** A Hew and* Most Important Theory on One mt tfcia Meat Vital Questions of the Day. - . ... , If any one had. Informed Queen Elizabeth in her palmiest days that she could have been seated hr her palace in London and conversed with Sir Waiter Baleigh in his North Carolina home, receiving a reply from him within an hour’s time, she would have declared it to be a miracle. And yet, had they lived in the present day, this apparent miracle would most readily have been witnessed and not seem at aU strange or unnatural The truth is, new principles are coming into existence, and the operation of many laws unknown in the past is being fully understood in the present. In no way does th.s fact cornel more forcibly to the mind than in ihe care and treatment of the human body. Millions of people have died in past ages’f rom some insignificant or easilycontrolled cause which is thoroughly understood now and readily handled. Consumption during the entire past has been considered an incurable disease. And yet it is demonstrated (hat it has been ana can be cured, even after it has had a long run. Dr. Felix Oswa.d tias juso contributed a notable article on this subject to the Popular Science Monthly. He regards consumption as pulmonary scrofula The impurities of the blood produce a constant iiritation in the lungs, thus de troying their delicate tissues and causing death. His theory shows conclusively that consumption is a blood disease. It has its origin primarily in a deranged condition of the kidneys or liver, the only two organs of the body aside from the lungs, that purify the blood When the kidneys or liver are diseased they are in a sore or lacerated state, which communicates poison through every ounce of blood that passes through them. This poisonous blood circulates < through the system and comes to the lungs, where the poison is deposited, causing decomposition in the finely-formed cells of the lungs. Any diseased, part of the body has contaminating power, and yet the blood, which is the life of the system, is brought into direct contact with these poisoned organs, thus carrying contagion to all parts of the body. Bishop Jesse T. Peck, D. D., LL. D., whose death has been so recently regTetted, is reported to have died of pneuwhich medical authorities affirm indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. It is well known, moreover, that for several years he has been the victim of severe kidney trouble, and the pneumonia which finally terminated his life was only the last result of the previous blood-poisoning. The deadly matter which is left in the lungs by the impure blood clogs up and finally cHokes the patient When this is accomplished rapidly it is called pneumonia, or quick consumption; when slowly, consumption, but in any event it is the result of impure blood, caused by diseased kidneys and liver. These are facts of science, and vouched for by ull the leading physicians of the day. They show the desirability—nay, the necessity, of keeping these most important ofgans in perfect condition, not only to insure health, but also to escape death. It has been fully shown, to tae satisfaction or nearly every unprejudiced mind, that Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is the only known remedy that can cure and keep in health the great blood-purifying organs of the body. It acts directly upon these members, healing all ulcers which may have formed in them and p acing them in a condition to purify and not poison the blood. Tnis is no idle statement nor false theory. Mr. W. C. Beach, foreman of the Buffalo (N. Y.) Rubber Type Foundry, was given up to die by both physicians and friends. For four years he had a tenible cough, accompanied by night sweats, chills and all the well-known symptoms. He spent a season South anc], found no relief. He says: “I finally concluded to try Warner’s Safe Cure and in three months I gained twenty pounds, recovered my lost energy and my health was fully restored. ” The list could be prolonged indefinitely, but enough has been said to prove to every sufferer from pulmonic troubles, that there is no reason to be discouraged in the least, and that health can be restored.

A gentleman had his boots blacked by one *f two boys, and gave the shiner as 2 bill to get changed. After waiting some time he said to the other boy, “Where’s your partner?” “Oh,” said the youth, with a grin, “lie’s bust up, and I’m his assignee.” There is lying in the United States Treasury more than $10,000,000 of unclaimed money, interest and 'principal of public debt, some of which dates back to 1837.
