WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease,
it is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
atid need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
hans fatal conseauences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at tlxis time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease he allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority overthe
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Hitters with the
large figure 3 in red on the front label.

LESSON COMMENTS.
As the devout Christian and
teacher ponders these exposi
tions and commands of Jesus,
his desire is to know just what
they mean, and to know this in
such plain and simple way as to
enable him to interpret the mean
ing in actual life. In order to
get into the pathway of the light
that shines here let us get at the
right point of view; let us find
the gateway. About one-half of
our Savior’s time of teaching
was past: his sun was now in
the mid-heavens. He was still
on the eminence near the Sea of
Galilee, with the twelve disci
U/\ *troo rvAi nr f a 1 AO \Td
Jk/AVvkJa ».AV< TT M.VJ O ‘“O - -- ' ~
them “in the world:” that would
be good for them and good for
the world, but he would not have
the world in them; that would be
none the better for the world
and it would be absolutely dis
astrous to them and to his king
dom entrusted to them.
In the world they would of
necessity be brought into con
tinual contact with all sorts of
individual men, false-swearing,
foul-mouthed men, abounding in
all sorts of exaggerations, out
right profanity would be their
manner of speech, blasphemous.
The governments that would
claim them as subjects would be
far from perfect. They would
find themselves arraigned un
justly and no appeal from op
pressive decisions would be
granted. The best service they
could render him and his king
dom would be to conduct them
selves as the “children of light”
— to let it be evident by their j
unselfish, unembittered, brave, |
bright, cheerful, joyous, forgiv-j
ing spirit that they were the
children of a perfect father. !■
Seeing that they had more or
less familiarity with the statute
law that God had given Moses
for the government of his peo
ple, it was natural that he should
maue these teachings “of the
omen ume uu sei vice
sayings or enactments i'or them. |
1. Under that law the “vow”
or oath as a “free-wili” offering,
or promise, was arranged for
(Deut. xxiii, 21-23.) Such a
vow, w hen made, must be car
ried out: it could not be recalled.
Such tampering with sacred mat
ters would not only be false; it
would be a species of swearing,
all forms of which are forbidden
his subjects. No appeal to him
needlessly, to the name of God
or to ought that God has created,
to give coloring to personal state
ments must be made: a clean
and sincere “yes, yes, no, no;”
shall be the law of their speech.
The truth ever seeks these forms
of speech, whether negatively or
positively stated. Only a weak
character defending a half truth i
or an out right lie, feels the need:
of by-words, slang phrases or
profanity.
2. How shall his disciples
meet “an evil man,” whether in
private life or when he makes
himself all the stronger and more
evil by the civil law? If he
smite, shall I smite back? If he
take my coat, shall I rend his?
No. The LAW rightly said, “eye
for eye, tooth for tooth” (Ex.
xxi, 23-25), but the servant of
Jesus must not attempt to ad
judge his own case, right him
self and inflict punishment on
others. He must not literally
turn his cheek again—our Lord
did not, Paul did not, but such

John xviii, 22; Acts, xxW-5.) |
Nothing could be more ow- ^
ardly nor more disastrous to he A
noble career of truth than a h
eral compliance with the comj o
mands (vs. 39-42.) : the letter^
killeth, the spirit giveth life.” I
3. Verses 43-48 carry the con-;
sideration of this same general;
spirit beyond external actions |
into the court of the human
heart. With a most amazing
and profane perversion of God’s
law, Leviticus xix, 18 (which
reads, “Thou shalt not take)
vengeance nor bear any grudge *
against the children of thy peo
ple; but thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself) had in the
mouths of Pharisees become,
“Thou shalt love thy .neighbor
and hate thine enemy.”
Among the attributes of God’s
perfectness none appears to us
more fully nor clearly than this,
that he treats his enemies with ;
the utmost kindness and love. |
Day by day he gives them the
light of his sun, the showers of
rain come in season at his com

take his perfectness as their i
standard, loving their enemies, |
praying for their persecutors. j
No “mere man” will ever do this j
high witness-bearing, but the |
child of grace will do some of it
as occasion offers and will sor
row that he did it not more per
fectly.
From these teachings at least
two conclusions follow. The one j
of these is that any disciple may i
covet and attain to these “best1
of gifts.” If a man empty him
self and offer himself as a vessel,
God will, through the Lord
Jesus, pour into him these rich
gifts of God’s spirit.
The second conclusion is that
no substitutes for this “perfect
ness” of life—this God-likeness
—can be had. “That which is
born of the flesh is flesh.” We
might as well attempt to paint
an artificial sun in the heavens
to give light by day as to sup
pose that anything except the
“hidden grace of the. heart”
will produce this heavenly type
of life. R. B. Willis.
WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
i
Some That Were Worked by Young
Americans with a Genius for
Invention.
A young man who at 21 had been bo
fore the mast, had worked in the
chemical department of a mill and had
lectured upon nitrous-oxide gas
throughout the country patented thf
rotating chamber for a pistol. It was
not considered particularly valuable un
til after hia first company that made i1
had failed and fights in Texas and wit!
the Seroinoles in Florida proved if»

mand for 1C
The same mechanic, says th«
World's Work, who did so much tot
early ax-making developed details In
revolver-making. The American plan
of not hesitating at the cost of new
appliances was never better shown
than in this big armory. The owner
was probably the first man to suggest
the mining of harbors with torpedoes
(or defense, and he was the first to lay
a submarine electric cable. One day a
young man from Vermont came to hi*
works.
‘‘V7hat can you do?” asked the su
perintendent
"I’m a machinist a- toolmaker and a
dieainker and I can play a born in a
band,” was the reply.
He went to work the next day. A
(ew years later he multiplied by 40 tha
value of certain labor in another fac
tory, and by another invention saved
the company >50,000 on contracts al
ready m&da Later, with a sewing ma
chine company, he forged shuttles from
sue piece of bar steel and cut previous
tosts in half. Since that time he has
made forgings by the use of drops
weighing as much as a ton dropping
with dies sometimes six feet upon iron,
steel and copper. An example of his in j
tentive genius is the Instance of his
forging offhaud from a single piece ol
copper commutator bars for electri*; ,
dynamos after the electrician in chargs j
had said that such a scheme was lm
