ALEXANDER 111.

1 Tho Czar is dead! Not by the ' hand of an assassin or Nihilist, hut ' by intornal poison. A great sensa- , tion was produced by the rumour , that the late Czar was attacked by I disease of the kidneys, otherwise : Blight's disease, This excitement > arose in part from tho currontknow- ' ledge that extreme danger to life was 1 imminont. Even when the first , announcement was published, the ; diseaso must have advanced to the , last stage of development. Disini tegration of the lining membrauo of i the organs in question had already * commenced, whereby they became i incapable of porfominj?theirallotted task of carrying off the Uric Acid , from tho system, which became a | poison to the blood, At the same , time tho natural fluids found their j way to all parte of tho body, causing dropsical swellings from the feet up- ' wards. Consequently, when the first ' bulletin was issued the die was itl--1 ready cast and demise was a question ' of only weeks or days in proportion , to the strength of tho Imperial sufferer's constitution.

But his name'was -struck off the living roll by . this unseen enemy. So the. unfortunats Gzar escaped numberless plots and CQ'nspiraoie 1

'against his lifo but has succumbed to poison by an internal invisible foo, i Tho question''arises; is tbei'e .no Jesson to be learnt by posterity from the hapless fate of so many illustrious careers out abort by a single tyrant P Certainly it behoves all men to be watchful over frd symptoms and instantly adopt a courso o( treatment which taken in time will be certain to, arrest the complaint and restore the patient to Bound health. It is contonded for Warner's Safe Cure that it is the only medicine that possesses absolute power to eradicate this disease. Unimpeachflblo living evidence proclaims tbe fact in thousands of instances.
