THE COREAN DIFFICULTY.

In the face of all logic and against all tho calculations of superior force, Japan has given tho Chinese crashing defoats all along the lino, and thoro is a possibility that this so fav very one-sided war will ond in China pay- ' ing the indemnity demanded. Tho Chinese position is most ludicrous inasmuch assoo millionsof people have beonpracticallyreducedto subjection by 70 millions, and the sole reason thereof is that the Chinese character is essentially • passive when the Japanese is at least dofensive. And / this again springs from tho fact that the Japaneso aro more omnivorous than are their western relations, and that all peoples living 6n a unifo™ dietary, and especially on a djflKf grain, must give way tothooffimverous man who eats everythingand a great proportion of meat with it. But justasourmany articled diet pro. ,' vides our national strength, so also does it produce many diseaßOß unknown outside civilisation. Chief among these is Bright's disease, that consumption of the kidneys which finds its opportunity- in the neglected simple kidney trouble. Hfc is in reality a more advanced form of the common kidney malady.. Educated physicians have mistaken even tho advauced stago of' Bri?ht's disease for the minor complaint. Bright's disease is, however, wholly unlike any other disorder, for it produces general derangement of all the tissues of the body,"'and May involve other organs, even before tho kidney may seem to be affected. It . is to be regretted that ptysicianß * have been slow to recognise the our. ability of this disease. Yet it is a pleasure to know that since jfce introduction of Warner's Safe lie some local physicians as .wetfas foreign medical, men are honest enough to acknowledge that this medicine does cure Bright's disease, P Warner's Safe Owe should be taken promptly whenever kidney disease shows itself,
