Here aro some Important truths ex pressed by a well-known professor of a New York Medical college. "All Nature ever needs, or ever nsks for, Is a little help. She becomes over workedIs it any wonder she needs help?" "Tho heart beats night nnd day and never stops. Tho lungs are always working away like a pair of bellows. The stomach Is constantly occupied; so aro the kidneys and the liver. You cannot give them a vacation, but you can help them Immensely. Those great organs the kidneys nnd liver are willing to woik, but they need food and you can give It to them." "You can easily feed throe organs, nnd you will be surprised how much better you will feel If you do so. There Is a discovery which Is an actual food for the kidneys. It is known to scien tists and the world as AVnrner'a Safe Cure. By all means try it. A little of this remarkable medicine taken three times a day will produce a most happy effect. Instead of being tired, fagged out, despondent nnd with lit tle ambition, you will grow bright, hopeful and happy. AVomen, especial ly, need a good friend of this kind, and I know of scores of ladles who would not think of being without this grand remedy to help them when they specially need it." pator is an artist, and the efforts ot last evening were well up to those at pre vious affairs.
