LOST IN THE STORM.
One of our local editors clipped
from a leading magazine extracts
from a vivid description of a western
blizzard -which we have taken the
liberty to publish and at the same
time suggest to II. II. Warner & Co.,
the proprietors of the celebrated War
ner's Safe Cure, the feasibility of tak
ing therefrom an extract for the intro
duction of one of their telling adver
tisements. The following is the des
cription :
"At the close of a dark day in
January a solitary horseman wends
his way across the open prairie in one
of our western territories. He passes
at long intervals the lone cabin of the
hardy frontiersman. Two or three
old settlers, of whom he has inquired
the way, have warned him that a
storm is approaching, and one of
them, with true western hospitality,
urges him to find shelter in his cabin
for the night. Uut he declines the
proffered kindness and urges his tired
horse forward. The sky grows
suddenly dark. He decides
to seek shelter. The storm in
creases in its fury. The rider
dismounts to warm his fast chilling
limbs. Can scarcely breathe.
Blindness comes on. Drowsiness
steals over him. The end is near.
- No is lost in the blizzard."
There is no doubt that the terror
which SGizes the bewildered traveler
is similar to that which overcomes
one when he learns that he is suffer
ing from an advanced Kidney Dis
ease, and is informed that he is in
the last stages of Bright's disease. At
first he is informed that he has a slight
kidney affection. Later he begins to
feel tired. Slight headache. Fickle
appetite. Failure of the eye-sight.
Cramp in the calf of the legs." Wake
fulness. Distressing nervousness.
Rheumatic and neunilzic pains. Oc
casionally pain in the back. Scanty,
dark colored fluids, with scalding
sensation. Gradual failure of strength.
Any of the above symptoms signify
Kidney Affection, but he is told that
he is a'll right. His physician treats
him for symptoms and calls it a dis
ease, when in reality it is but a
symptom of Kidney trouble. Ho may
be treated forKheumaticor Neuralgic
pains, heart affection, or any other
disease which ho is most susceptible
to. Finally the patient has puffing
under the eyes, slight bloating of the
ankles and legs. His physician jnay
inform him ihat it is but the accumu
lation of blood in his ankles for want
of proper exercise.
The bloat continues and reaches his
body.
Then he is informed he has dropsi
cal troubles, and is tapped once or
twice. He notices it is difficult to
breathe owing to irregular action of
the heart, and finally is informed that
he has a slight attack of Bright's Dis
ease. Soon his friends are notified
that his is an advanced case of
Bright's Disease, and that he can live
but a short time. His honorable and
dignified physician asks for counsel.
It is too late. Still he sticks to the
old family physician, and the physi
cian knows and has known from the
beginning that the patient has been
stricken with death for months, for he
knows full well that the profession
acknowledge they have no remedies
for the cure of Kidney Disease.
At last the patient suffocates is
smothered and dies from dropsical
trouble. Or perhaps the disease may
not take the form of a dropsical ten
dencv, and the patient dies from
apoplexy, paralysis, pneumonia or
heart trouble. Or it may take the
form of blood poisoning." In each
form the end is the same. And yet
he and his friends were warned by
the proprietors of the celebrated
remedvknown as Warner's Safe Cure,
of the lurking dangers of a slight Kid
ney affection.
The newspapers have published the
dangers. Columns of facts have been
printed of men dying from advanced
Kidney Disease or Bright's Disease.
His friends and physician look around
with horror and regret for seeming
neglect, but he is lost. He did not
heed the warning that a storm wa3
approaching. He declined the prof
fered'hospitality, and recklessly went
forward into danger. He struggled
manfully for a time, but his strength
failed, he grew gradually weaker and
he was lost to the world. Not in a
blizzard, but from the terrible malady
which is almost daily occurring in
every community, and which is doc
tored as a symptom instead of what
it is, a mortal disease unless prop
erly treated.

The country is not often treated to

New York papers are making merry
over an alleged Omaha man credited
with possessing two months. .Tealou&y
is what ails the New Y'ork fellows. If
they but ha.i two mouths apiece they
would keep both busy Saturday, and
fill themselves so full that the Sue
day law would lose its terrors. And
again, a second month would be a
boon to the man who parts his jaws
and inserts his foot with ihe unifor
miuity characteristic of New Yorkers.
He would still have a month left for
business, or, at the worst, n place in
which to put the other foot.
If your blood is vitiated, cleause it

Tom Reed of Maine has been tell
ing how he was admitted to the bar.
He was examined in California by
judge Wallace. Iteed says: "The

stitutional;' I didn't hesitate a mo
ment, I said simply, 'It is constitu
tional.' 'Yon can pass,' said judge
Wallace. 'Wo always pass a man who
can settle great constitutional ques
tions off-hand.' "
Do not wait until to-morrow, when

At the dinner given by the Chi

carried on a 3-corncred conversation

they cannot understand what each
one says, their written language is
identical.
A Rockford girl had her corsets
torn off by a stroke of lightning, and
was uninjured, but a young man who
had called to borrow a book had his

Long-Standing
Blood Diseases are cured by
the persevering use of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla.
This medicine is an Alterative, and

quite so rapid as in others ; but, witb
persistence, the result is certain.
Read these testimonials :
" For two years I suffered from a se
vere pain in my right side, and had
other troubles caused by a torpid liver
and dyspepsia. After giving several
medicines a fair trial without a cure, I
began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I
was greatly benefited by the first bottle,
and after taking five bottles I was com
pletely cured." John W. Benson, 70
Lawrence St., Lowell, Mass.
Last May a large carbuncle broke out
on my arm. The usual remedies had no
effect and I was confined to my bed for
eight weeks. A friend induced me to try
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Less than three
!uittle3 healed the sore. In all myexpe-ii-nce
with medicine, I never saw more
Wonderful Results.
Vnother marked effect of the use of this
uii'dicine was the strengthening of my
siilit." Mr3. Carrie Adams, Holly
Springs, Texas.
' I had a dry scaly humor for years,
and suffered terribly; and. as my broth
er and sister were similarly afflicted, I
presume the malady is hereditary. Last
winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina,
Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year.
For live months I took it daily. I have
not had a blemish upon my body for the
last three months." T. E. Wiley, HG
Chambers st., New York City.
" Last fall and winter I wa3 troubled
with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I
did not notice it much at first, but it
gradually grew worse until it became
almost unbearable. During the latter
part of this time, disorders of the stom.
ach and liver increased my troubles. I
began taking; Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and,
after faithfully continuing the use o(
this medicine for some months, the paiq
disappeared and I was completely
cured." Mrs. Augusta A. Furbush,

THE ROSIE OLSEX.
Where is that Little Schooner?
About two months ajjo Cant Hen
derson, of this city, chartered the
schooner Rosie Olson, of Tillamook,
and started norm on a naiitrat nsning
cruise.
The Seattle Times of the 8th, says;
Grave fears are entertained for the
safety of the fishing schooner Rosie
Olson. About fire weeks ago she
sailed from this port on a halibut fish
ing cruise off Cape Scott, 200 miles
north of. Uape lattery, bne was pro
visioned and had enough ice to last
ten days or two weeks at the outside.
Since she left this port nothing has
been heard of her, and as she is now
about two weeks overdue her owners
are becoming anxious about her safety.
Very heavy weather has been prevail
ing on the outside for the past two
weeks, and it is possible that she may
have met with some accident. The
Rosie Olson, in addition tohermaster.
Captain Henderson, had ten men,
many of whom live in Seattle.
Captain Olson, her owner, in con
versation with al'imes reporter to-day
with regard to the delayed schooner,
said: "1 have grave doubts as to her
safety. It is a mystery to me what
has become of her and what she is do
ing. It seems I should have had some
word before now. Her ice would have
melted before this as she had only
about fifteen tons. It is certain that
something has happened but at this
time 1 cannot quite yet believe that
she has been lost."f
B.TI10 Olson is n comparatively new
vessel, being only abut two years old.
and everything 111 hrst-class repair at
the time of her leaving. She is valued
at 810,000.

DYSPEPSIA.
IS that misery experienced when we sud
denly become aware thntwc possess a
diabolical arrangement called a stomach.
Tho stomach is the reservoir from which
every fibre and tissue must be nourished,
andany trouble with it is sooafelt through
out tho whole system. Among a dozen
dyspeptics no two will have the same pre
dominant symptoms. Dyspeptlcsotactlvo
mental power and a bilious temperament
are subject to sick Headache; those,
fleshy and phlegmatic ha vo Constipation,
while tho thin nndnervousnroabaudoned
togloomy forebodings. Some dyspeptics
are wondernilly forgetful; others have
great irritability of temper.
Whatever form Dyspepsia may take,
one thing Is certain,
The underlying cause is
in the XJJ'JBil,
and ono thing more is equally certain, no
one will remain a dyspeptic who will
1 win correct
Acidity of the

"My wife was a confirmed dyspeptic. Some
three years ago bytheadwee of Dr Sterner, of
Augusta, she was induced to try Simmons Lier
Regulator. I leel grateful for the relief it has
given her, and may all who read this and are
afflicted in any waj, whether chronic or other

confident health will be restored to all who will
