FIGHT ON AN ENGINE
Tie Engineer and Fireman Grapple in a Death. Straggle.
A fight to death between the engineer and fireman of an express train, speeding through the country at night, is a bold conception of a modern novelist. Theifceman is jealous of the ennight, crazed with drink,4& heaps on coal fuel until the boiler is likely to explode. The engineer pleads with him, then expostulates, and at last attempts to prevent further addition. Then the fireman grapples the engineer and tries to throw him from the engine; a terrible struggle ensues. The light is for life! They speak no word, bat with teeth clenched, strive to precipitate the other to the Meanwhile the train on. The engineer, finally | 'growing weak, endeavours to reacuj .-" the regulator to stop the train - and summon help. Too late ! The crazed fireman guesses his plan, stiffens himself to a superhuman effort, lifts the exhausted engineer from ilia feet, exclaiming:—"Ah, yoa to stop the train. Now, out yon go,' With this he flings theengineeiout; but the latter clings to him ; lie cannot shake him off; so both go out together.

result in Bright's diseasif then death for tbe doctors admit tl ey have nc cure for it. But a cert mi cure mav be bad. Note what K( bert Moore, of Horsham, of Vi jtoria, says, under date of 2(Hb Aug' isi, 1890: "For a number of y< ars I bave suffered from disease off tbe kidneys, which was gradually !n>dermining my health. My urine >-'iss diseased, and contained nlhun'vn m ?''cli quantities which prov. <i that I was suffering from the dreP'k-d Brigbt's disease of the kidney: | As tbe disorder advanced 1 ba Inpweakor, tbe knee joints, as well! I the ankles and eyelids, began to fejell. I lost all appetite, and experienced extreme wakefulness, nervousness, and finally burning sensations in the back. My urine was scanty, and.niicturation was attended with much p-iin. When commencing Warner':' *?-k- cn.\- and safe pills, 1 had nearly I i?.,fc iuy eye sight, but a dozen removed the swelling of the joints and gave me back my sight.' Jn time the albumen all disappeared, and 1
recovered my health.'' Mrs E. Payne, of Olive-street. Albury, N.S.W, writes as ful'ows: —" For the past 3 years 1 have been the subject of a moi?t distressing disease of the kidneys. At first I felt myself getting daily weaker; there were no particular pains, but Borne twelve months since, fearful pains invaded all parts of the system. Ultimately dropsy set in, and my stomach be came preternalurally extended and filled with water, literally bringing me to the brink of the- graye. An analysis of my urine showed a large per centage of albumrn, proving that I was stricken with the dread Bright's disease, I commenced the use of Warner's sale cure, and after 11 had taken one full bottle, the kidneys resumed their action and the diopsy abated. Prior to taking Warner's safe cure ihe water had to be removed by surgical means. Subsequent analysis also proved that the albumen was lessening. To be brief, I may add that I have now used 8 or 9 bottles of safe cure, and every trace ot this grave and so called fatal disease has been removed."
