STARED AT BY THE DEAD.

Early one morning the guards on the elevated road in New York noticed a middle-aged man apparently kneeling beside an open window. Although it was a raw and cold morning, his head was uncovered. His eyes seemed to be staring intently across the stieet. Ail day long, as the trains thundered past, the man seemed still to be watching, and even when night came on a glimpse of a white, facp could bp. seen staring out into the darkness. The next morning the guards were, all on ths lookout, and still the man could be seen with his chin resting on the back of his hand.

Coroner Donlin, who chanced to be looking out of the car window during the clay, saw at once that it was no common face that glared at him. He left the train, went to the house, and there found kneeling by the window the stiffened corpse of a man. For two days he had kept the vigil of the dead. Awaking in the night, alone and oppressed, he had struggled to the window, and, gasping for beeatb, died, The coroner's examination revealed the fact that death had been caused by Bright's disease of the kidneys, which came unannounced, sudden, and sure.

Sad ! Yes, but how common have t.bese sudden deaths become. You note them in the local press every day. They give no warning. There is a quick pain, a struggle, and all is over. Statistics show that 90 per cent, of these sudden deaths are caused by kidney disease. Slowly but surely these great "organs have been disintegrating, and when the climax comes it comes without warning. But there were warnings. The strange pains, peculiar sensations, and unaccountable feelings were Nature's warnings. They may have been considered only the symptoms of a cold, but all the while disease was working and death surely approaching.

Can nothing been done 1 Yes j exercise care. Act promptly. Use something to sustain the kidneys. Do, as many physicians are advising their patients to do, take Warner's Safe Cure. If this great preparation which has saved so many men and women from death by Bright's disease were not a well-known household remedy and the most popular in existence, we might hesitate to so warmly endorse it, but being the only absolute specific for this great modern disease it is commended unhesitatingly. It is no ordinary medicine, but a scientific discovery which has received more' commendations than any other discovery of the

present century. The well-known Dr James D. Bragg says : ' Warner's Safe Cure has proved the best medicine for humanity yet devised.'

When the uncertainty of life is remembered ; when the certainty of disaster where care is not exercised is realised, the importance of the aV>ove truths should come home solemnly to all.
