' anecdote and charmingly illustrated, “The Capture of Derne," by Charles Burr Todd, revives an almost forgotten epi sode in American history,—the expedi tion against Tripoli under General Wil- liams Eaton, whose letters and diaries, the adventurous spirit in which the en terprise was conceived and the difficul ties amid which it was carried on. “An Afternoon in Rome," and a frontier sketch, “For Life," by Helen Campbell, are highly readable papers.

Newspaper men are often ridiculed for their criticisms on and about farming, an occupation they are supposed to know little or nothing about. Facts, however, a r e constantly coming up which do not take a Greeley to see through. Hero is au instance: The wife of u certain thrif ty farmer living not five miles out of town, upon less than two acres of hind in vegetables, and with the butter and milk from a few cows, made a clear profit of tiro hundred and forty dollars. Upon turnips alone over forty dollsrs were re alized. And it didn't take thirteen months in the year to accomplish this handsome result, cither, ns with cotton making. A nice litte fortune awaits ev ery farmer who wil engage in provision raising. It is better than cotton. Chaugc of Schedule.

This was just the way I felt when the re'cntlcHs malady which had fastened itself upon me began. Still I thought it whs noth ing ; that probably I had taken a cold which would soon pass away Shortly after this I noticed a dull neuralgic pain in my head, hut as it would come one day und bo gone tho next I paid but little uttention to it.

I next noticed a pe culiar color and odor about the tluids I was passing—ulso tlmt there were large quantities one day und very little the next, and that a persistent froth and scum appeared upon the surface, and n sedi ment settled in the bottom.

Bright's disease has no dis tinctive symptoms of its own, (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatev er in the kidneys or their vicinity,) hut has the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint. Hundreds of people die daily, whose burials are authorized by a physician's certificate of “Heart Dis ease,’’ “Apoplexy," “Paralysis." “Spinal Complaint," “Rheumatism," •'Pneumon ia/* and other common complaints, when in reality it was Bright'H Disease of the Kidneys. Few* physicians, and fewer n le, realize thee a tent of this disease s dangerous insidious nature. It steals into the system like a thief, ninni fests its presence by the commonest symp toms, and fastens itself upon the consti tution before tbe victim is aware. It te nearly 119 hereditary ns consumption, quite as common and fully ns fatal. En tire families, inheriting it from their an cestors, have died, and yet none of tho number knew or realized tbe mysterious power which was removing them.

As cue who has suffered, and knows by Idtter experience wliat he says, I implore every •■lie who reads these words no: to neglect the slightest symptoms of Kidney ditticu.ly. Certain ilk oil v mid |N>stdblc death will he the auro result of such neglect, and uo one can afford to hazard such chances. I am aware tlmt such nil unqualified statement as this, coming from me, known as I am throughout the entiro land ns a praotitioner and lecturer, will i rouse tho surprise anil possible animosity of tho medical profession and astonish nil with whom I am acquainted, hut 1 make the foregoing statements based upon facta which I am prepured to produce and truths which I can substantiate to the letter. The welfare of thoso who muy possibly be sufferers such as I was, is an nmplo inducement for me to take tho step I have, and if I can successfully warn •tiler? from the dangerous path in which I once walked, I am willing to endure all professional and personal consequences.

I real ized, ut lust, my critical condition and aroused myself to overcome It. And, Oh! how hard 1 tried! I consulted the best medical skill in the land. I visited all the prominent mineral springs in Am erica and traveled from Maine to Cali fornia. .Still I grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said I was troubled with spinal irritation; another, nervous prostration ; another, miiluria ; another, dyspepsia ; another, hnait disease; another, general debility ; another, congctdiou of the base of the bruin ; ami so on through ii long list of common disiurcs, the symptoms of all of which I really had. In this way sev eral vetrs passed, during all of which time 1 was steadily growing worse. My condition hud really become pitiable. The slight symptoms 1 at first experi enced were developed Into terrible and cnus'unt disorders -the little twigs of pain hud grown into oak* of agony. Mv weight had been reduced from 207 to 130 pooeds. My life was a torture to myself und friends. I could retain no food upon my stomach and lived wholly by Injec tions. I was a living mass of pulp. My r ulse was uncontrollable. In my ugony frequently fell upon the floor, convul sively clinched the carnet, and prayed for death. Morphine had liftle or no effect in deadening the pain. For six duys und nights I had the death-premonitory hic coughs coustmitly. My urine was filled with tube casts and albumen. 1 was struggling with Bright's Disease of the Kidneys in its last stages. While suffer!og thus I received a call from my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, lec tor of 8t. Paul’s Church, ot this city. I fell thut it was our last interview, hut in the course of our conversation he men tioned u remedy of which I bad heard much but had never used. Dr. Foote de tailed to me the many rental kahlu cures which had come under his observation, t>y ineuus of this remedy, und urged me to try it. As n practicing physician and a graduate of the schools, I cherished the prejudice botli natural and common with all regular practitioners, and derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels being the least beneficial. No solicitous, however, »vus I)r. Foote, thut 1 finally • promised I would waive my prejudice and try the remedy he so high ly recommended. I began its use on the first day of June and took it according to directions. At first it sickened me ; but this I thought was a good sign for one in my debilitated condition. I continued to take it; the sickening sensation departed and I was able to retuin food upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed a de cided change for the better ns also did my wife and friends.
