Our reporter was ver.. much struck
with a conversation between two well-

my JTOgleS. It IS hniy-for me to Ull-
derstand why one.'r.ipsight fails
whon all other faculties appear to be
in uoud condition. Lven the young
appear to lose their cvosight."
" 1 question very niucu tno uieory
and the old notion that poor lijrht, lino
print, etc., is tcsponsible for it."
"It is well you may. If you consult
an oculist for eye treatment, you will
tintl lie is almost sure to analyze the
fluids passed hefore ho will com
mence treatment; one once told mi;
that over half of the failing eyesight
was attributable to disease of the kid
neys, because of their inability to cx
pel the uric acid from the avstem."
" I low is that?"
"1 do not know. He claimed that
i failing evesiglit was one of the most
prominent symptomsoiauvanceuKiu
ney and Hright's disease."
iSccouiing more interested, our re
Iorter thou-jht life would carry investi
gations still further, and cafled upon
an institution where several promi
nent physicians are employed, and
asked the question :
hv is it that unc acid or kidney
noison aflects the eves
( neol them answered, "it noes not
nireet Iho oves anv more than anv

as a result, the weakest organ is the 1 nn t)f oar?e I have never ex-
first to suffer. It may he tl;e lungs,
heart, brain or any other organ; it
generally affects many of the other
organs, and the person soaffected may
call it y Meral debility, or premature
old age. when in reality it is but the
elfeet of iirie acid, continually poison
ing the system, gradually consuming
the patient. It is for this reason our
remedy cures so many persons of
what arc ordinaiily called diseases,
which in fact are only symptoms. We
cure the cause and the cause cures
the effect."
"Then you cure blindness, do
"I will say yes, if you wish to put it
as broad as that, an'l yet vu are not
entitled to the crvdit. When wo re
store the kidnevs to health, they in
turn restore the faihng eyesight. Our
remedy restores the kidneys to a
healthy action, and they cause tho
cur.', .;:id so it is with many of the
I'iso.ts'is that wo cure, which n reaiitv
ara Jmt niptotus. For inolnnce. N.
S. aikn of Rochester, says "I had
lo.U the ue of one eye, and ihe o'.her
was rapidly failing caused by im
pure blood". I took Warner's safo
cure to piuify my blood. Hardly ex
pected it to" restore my eyesight, but
it has done sc."
W. A. I'.argy.of this city, says "My
little daughter seven years old com
plained some two years since of ina
bility to see, and we noticed that she
stumbled over things while walking
about the house I looked at her eyes
and found them almost white. This
eo alarmed mo that I consulted a
physician, who said it would beneces
sarv to have an operation performed
npon them. To this I could not con
sent, but allowed him to givo her
several treatments. She grew worse
i.nd wasted to a mere skeleton, until
a doctor more honest than the rest,
advised Warner's safe cure, and we
began its use. I noticed improve
ment at once, and gradually she re
gained her health."

ington. I). Chad her eyesight sud-
. deiflv fail -her, so sha was unable, as
she "savs, to read even the largest

I c tfn iMirn linr nvnxScltt. bnifail to TO-
ii. tiv. ..v. - n
turn, and continuing its use. she wati
completelv restored.
Uric aeul has a special liking foi
the optic nerve, and it is no uncom
mon thing for the eyesight to begin to
fail as the kidney disorder advances,
while the oilier organs remain in ap
parent good health for a longer period,
or antil there is a general giving way
of the system. Then physicians
blandly pronounce the malady general
debility, or call a symptom a disease,
that was the most prominent before
death claimed its victim. They may
impovenaoeu uiuuu, ui.ii.nui, iuuu
inatism, pleurisy nevertheless it is
kidney disease, all the same, under
another name.
Why all this deception?" .
" liccausQ the so-called medical
fraternity have no preparations that
can cure" kidney disease, especially
when it has become advanced, and
they are ashamed to acknowledge it.
and many of them are too high-bound
to their code to use a prescription and
a sjH'cific for the kidneys, because it
is advertised, and the projectors re
fuse to expose their formula. That i
exactly as it is, in as few words as I
can give it.
'Thanks. You have no objections
to ;nv publishing this interview?"
"None, whatever. We have no se
crets here, except our formula."

on over powder river divide to

we took to bed, wh"ii we slept
until the China cook awoke us at

mountain. Middle Fork and Dixie
hills, arriving at Pir.irie City at

We enjoyed the sleigh ride over

on a small tree behind the sleigh,

Prairie City, John Day and

places in which to live; and the
people a jolly, vhoh!;souled set.
I was favored especially with be

much with the i le.i tii.it by prac

tlit- most difficult pieces.
I found business rather tiiet.
and met chants complain in gen

the season advances, however,
every thinir will pick up.
The climate is just delightful
and the season is at least several
weeks ahead of ours here. Farm-is
are commencing to plow,
and soon will sow grain an 1 seeds.
Schools till tivtr the country. 1

A Rare Coin.
Some time during the year
savs the Jacksonville
Times, E. Ilendrick, of Apple
gate, cut a large pine tree near
his house and found in its i iter
ior a rather ancient coin. The
tree was a large one, r.nd his ax
was not the first that had been
used to mar its symmetry and
grace, for, encircled by forty-live
rings of pearly growth, wore found
evidences of a previous assault '
clear-cut marks qf and ax, a
snia'l cavity and a package of
cloth or paper containing a eop-

marks could be found on the cov
ering to relieve the curious in re
spect to this event. The coin is
about the size of a nickle, is com
posed of copper, is dated lTtfO,
has on one side the lion and the
unicorn struggling fjr the crown
; and on the other side a monogram
composed of the lettvra V. 0. ('.
The tree stood on the banks of
Applcgate river, near one ofthc
trails from Oregon to California,

figures of Revolutionary days
that litis never hen admitted to
the pities of history Xancv
Mart - known thio:i;hout the
South its "The ( tiantoes1' and
the "Heroine of tJeoi'u." She
lived in the wilderness of Elbert
county, and snpjKjrted herself
and children hv hr.ntino- and
ttapjiing-. Xancy was over six
feet in hei'dit, and with her
mop of retl hair and crossed eyes
she assuredly was not preposses
sing. But one of her contem
poraries write-: '-Her voice
was quiet and soft, and if she
had the eo:irae of a man, she
had beneath it the warm heart
of a woman r
She esp Jtised tho V.'hig tan e
vehemently from the first out
break of the Revolution. Six
Dritish soldiers, win n pursuing
deserters, came to her cabin and
demanded food. She cooktd
them a jjood dinner, and while
they were eating it hid their
n-uns, drove awav their horses,
and locking the doors, sent word
to her neighbors: 4-I have trap
j ed six base Tories: come and
luld them for me."'
l)urino- the winter, in the
tlisftiise of a man, she fre
quently enterctl the Eritish
camp in Augusta ami carried to
Colonel Clarke the infonu itiou
she gained there. On one occa
sion when a freshet rendered the
for.l across thv Savannah River
in:jassiible, she m tde a raft T
ogs, bound together by wild
rrajievirtes. and crossed trium
phantly under lire of the etne
my to the camp of the (leovgia
troops. Another day. met-ting
a puny little Driti'i soldier o i
the road, she took his vrv. from
him ami marched him before
her into the Ocorgia camp.
So threat w:is thi contidencc
of the colonists in her ditcr
tiou and valor that she was once
left by Colonel Clarke in com
mand of a fort iilktl with wo
men ami children. A company
of British skirini.-hi r. at': c' e 1

to jiut on their'hiisbiiuds' clothe-,
and to show themselves on the
walls, while she kept up to vig
