150 FE The Kodak ANYBODY can use the Kopak. The operation of making a picture consists sim- piy of pressing a but- ton. One Hundred instantaneous pict- ures are made with- out reloading. No dark room or chemi- cals are necessary. A division of labor is offered, whereby all the work of finishing the pictures is done at the factory, where the camera can be sent to be reloaded. The operator need not learn any- thing about photography. He can ‘‘press the button,” —we do the rest. Send for copy of Kopak Primer, with sample photograph.

No sensible surgeon will attempt the perform- ance of an operation involving human life in a room secluded from the proper amount of light. A practitioner will not attempt the diagnosis of a complicated disease unless he can see the sufferer and make an examination upon which to base his opinion relative to the treatment necessary to bring about restoration of health. Notwithstanding the impropriety of such action there seems to be a great deal of doctoring done in the dark. It needs no illustration to demonstrate that gross ignorance has caused many tatal mistakes in the treatment of diseases by those who profess to be learned in the art of healing. In many diseases several organs are more or less implicated and what seems a primary ailment may be one quite remote. For instance, a severe headache may have its origin in a disturbed stomach. On the other hand, sickness at the stomach may be caused by a blow on the head. ‘The seat of typhoid fever is in the upper part of the bowels, but most of its worst symptoms are often in the brain. Symptoms of disease as well as diseases them- selves are oftentimes followers or concomitants of some unsuspected organic disease, and this is peculiarly true of lung, liver, brain and heart dis- eases in general, for it is now known that they are the result of kidney disease, which shows its presence in some such indirect manner. Several years ago a gentleman became con- vinced of the truth of this and through his efforts the world has been warned of kidney disease and as a result of continued effort a specific known as Warner's Safe Cure was discovered, the general use of which has shown it to be of inestimable benefit in all cases where kidney treatment is de- sirable or necessary. When consumption is threatened see to it that the condition of the kidneys is immediately in- quired into and if they are found diseased, cure them by an immediate use of Warner's Safe Cure and the symptoms of lung decay will rapidly disappear. There are too many instances already recorded of the terrible results produced by a lack of knowl- edge concerning the cause of disease, and human life is of too much importance to be foolishly sacrificed to bigotry or ignorance. pana} rene ONE ERY PIAN VERY Mae.
