The following. sworn. statement is the best proof that diabetes is not incurable, and that there is a remedy which. will cure it. Ontario, County of Carleton, to wit: I, Charles Moss, of the Oity of Ottawa, in the County of Carleton,/Blacksmith, do hereby solemnly declare ar !ollows: 1. I reside at 180 Bell Street, in the said City of Ottawa. 2. Forthe past fifteen years I have been a groat sufferer from kidney disease; among the prominent symptoms of which were severe pains in my back, hot flashes" extending from the base of the spine up between my shoulders, dizziness, headaches, etc. I was in a bad state generally and suffered great agony at times. The intense pain prevented my sleeping, and I eewrned to get worse continually. Tho doctors who were called i1 pronounced my disease diabetes, but their treatment did no good, and they held out but slight hope of my recovery. I was then so far gone with the disease that I could not turn in mod without help. My urine was of a dark wine , elor, and fulI of sediment. 3. I took all kinds of medicine, but without permanent,relief. 4. Bearing of Doan's Kidney Pills I got a bog at H.P. alacCarthy's drug store, but having been. so often disappointed I had no faith in them. However, I started taking them; and they struck the right epot at once, and I com- menced to get better. From that time on improvement was continuous until I am now, eter five weeks use of Doan's Kidney Pills, ntirely free from pain of any kind. The urine is natural, and I am now working right along every day in my shop.. 5. It is a great source of pleasure forme to testify to the world of the curative powers of Doan's Kidney Fills, and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing it to be true, and knowing that it is of the same force and effect as if made under oath and by virtue of the Canada Evidence Act. Sgd. CHARLES MOSS, Declared before me at the City of Ottawa, in the Co-tntyof Carleton, this 4111 day of April, lti$6, Sgd. JOHN 7. O'MEARA, A Commissioner, eta. REV. DR. TALMAGE PREACHES UPON "THE DYING CENTURY." ' The Marvels of the Nineteenth Century. The Money Power—Labor and Capital. The treat Deliverer of Nations—Vision of St. John. , WASR'i oTON, Nov. 29. --Considering the time and place of its delivery, this sermon of Dr. Talmage is of absorbing and star - Sling interest. Itis not only national but int►61'national in its significance. His sub - was "The Dying Century.,," and the II Kings xx, 1, "Thus saith the Lord, et` hive house in order, for thou shalt die and n t live." ' No alarm bell do I ring in the Utterance of t}tgl,,is teat, for in the healthy glow of your poulidenanoes I find cause only for cheerful :' tiro heeyy, but I shall apply the tett as 3�p in the ear of Hezcklah, down with . carbuncle, Ito the nineteenth century,. closing.

Fonveyances coming this way will bring important additions of public men, so that whip on Deo. 7, at high noon, the gaveis of senate and house of representatives shall lilt and fall the destinies of this nation, a d through it the destinies of all nations frdggling to be free, will be put on solemn i mid such in tensi- to d tremendous trial. A 9 ng, oirournstauces I stand by the vener- fe century and address it in the words of `' "Thusthin saith the Lord,Set e text, 'souse in order, for thou shalt die and not live." A Big Subject. Eternity is too big a subject for is to understand. Some one has said • it is a great clock that says "Tick" in one cen- brcry and "Tack" iu another. But we can etter understand old time, who has many children—and they are the centuries. .many grandchildren—and they are the Fears. With the dying nineteenth century we shall this morning have a plain talk, telling him some of the goodthings he has done, and then telling him some of the things ho ought to adjust before he quits this sphere and passes out to join the eternities. Wo generally wait until people are dead before we say much in praise of them. Funeral eulogium is generally very pathetic and eloquent with things that ought to have been said years before. - We put on cold tombstones what we ought en have put in the warin ears of the living. We curse Charles Sumner while he is liv- ing and cudgel hire into spinal meningitis_ and wait until, in the rooms where I have been living the last year, he puts .his hand on his heart and cries "Oh!" and is gone, and then wo make long procession in his honor, Dr. Sunderland, chaplain of the American senate, accompanying; stopping long enough to allow the dead senator to he in state in Independence hall, Phila- delphia, and halting at Boston statehouse,. where not long before damnatory resolu- tions. had been passed in regard to him, and then move on, amid the tolling bells and the boom of minute guns, until we bury him at Mount.Auburn and cover him with flowers five; feet deep. What a pity he could not have been awake at his own funeral to hoar the ,gratitude of the nation ! What a pity that one green leaf could not have been taken from each one of tho mor- tuary garlands and put upon his table while he was yet alive at the Arlington! What a pity that out of the great choirs who chanted at his obsequies one little girl dressed in white might not "have sung to his living ear a complimentary solo! The postmortem expression contradicted the antemortem. The nation could not have spoken the, truth both times about Charles Sumner. Was it before or after his decease it lied? No such injustice shall bo inflicted upon this venerable nineteenth century. Before he -goes we recite in his lea ing some of the good things ho has accomp an addition to the world's in has made! ,Look at the old with the snow sifting throug the filthy tin cup hanging o pail in the corner, and the little victims on the long benches withou the illiterate schoolmaster wit,' gad, and then look at our >n' of free schools under men an ished.

The once straggling village of Washington to which the United States government moved, its entire baggage and egiiipinent packed up in seven boxes, which got lost in the woods near this place, now the, architec- tural glory of the continent and admira- tion of the world. - A Glorious Century. The money power, so much denounced and often justly criticised, has covered this continent with universities and free libra- ries and asylurnsof mercy. The newspaper_ press, which at the beginning of the cen- tury was an ink roller, by hand moved over one sheet of paper at w time, has become the miraculous manufacturer of four or five or six hundred thousand sheets for one daily newspaper's issue. _Within your memory, 0 dying century, has been the: genesis of nearly all the great institutions evangel- istic. At London tavern, March 7, 1802, British and Foreign Bible society was born. In 1816 American Bible society was born. In 1824 American Sunday School union was born. ' In 1810 American board of commissioners for foreign missions, which bas put its saving hand on every nation of the round earth, was born ata haystack in • Massachusetts. 'The National Temperance society, the Woman's Temperance society and all the other temperance movements were born in this century. Afrioa,hidden to_ other centuries, by exploration in this con- s on-„, tury has been put at the feet of civilization to be occupied by commerce and Christian- ity. The Chinese Wall, once en impassable barrier, now its- a useless pile of stone and brick. Our American nation at the open- ing of this century only a slice of ' land along the Atlantic coast, now the whole continent in possession of our schools and churches- and missionary stations. Ser- mons and religious intelligence which in other times, if noticed at all by the news- paperpress, were allowed only a paragraph Of three or four lines, now flnd the`columns Of the secular press in all the cities thrown ide open, and every week for 26 years, ithout the .omission of a single week, I ave been. permitted to preach one entire ospel sermon through the newspaper ress. I thank God for this groat oppor- tunity. Glorious old century! You shall not_ bo entombed until we have, face to tared and reflned to the highest excellence, so that whereas in our childhood we had to be whipped to go to school, children nowcrywhen they cannot go. Thank you, venerable century, while at the same tiiuo we thank God! What an addition to the world's inventions—within our "-century the cotton gin, the agricultural machines for planting,' reaping and thrashing; the telegraph; the phonograph, capable of preserving a human voice frons generation to generation; the typewriter, that rescues the world from worse and worse penman- ship, and stenography, capturing from the lips of the swiftest speaker more than== 200 words'a° minute! Never was I so amazed at the facilities of our time as when a few days alio I telegraphed from Wall- ington to New York a long and elaborate . manuscript, tnd a few minutes after, to show its accuracy, it was road to me through the long distance telephone, and it was exact down to the last sethioolon and comma.. A Marvelous Age. What hath God wrought! Oh, I im so glad I was not born sooner. For the tal- low candle the electric light. For the writhings of the surgeon's table God:given - annesthcties, and the whole physical organ- ism explored by sharpest instrument, and giving not so much pain as the taking of - a splinter from under a child's finger nail.' For the lumbering stagecoach the limited, express train.

Bu My text suggests that there aro some things that this century ought to do befor he .leaves us. "Thus saith the Lord, Set t ioe house in order;- for thou shalt die a d: not live." We ought not to let this geritury go before two or three things are set in order. For ono thing this quar- rel between labor and capital. The nine- teenth century inherited it from the eight- eenth century, but do not let this nine- teenth century bequeath it to the twen- tieth. "What we want," says labor, "to set us right is more strikes and more vig- orous work with torch and dynamite." "What we want," says capital, "is a tight- er grip on the working classes and com- pulsion to take what wages we choose to pay, without reference to their needs." Both wrong as sin. Both defiant. Until the day of judgment no settlement of the quarrel if you leave it to British, Russian or American politics. The religion of Jesus Christ ought tr, come in within the next four years and take the hand ot capi- tal and employee and say: "You have tried everything else and failed. Now try the gospel of kindness." No more oppression and no more strikes. The gospel of Jesus Christ will sweeten this acerbity, or it will go on to the end of time, and the fires that burn the world up will crackle in the ears of wrathful prosperity and indignant toil while their hands are still clutching at each other's throats. Before this century. sighs its last breath I would that swarthy labor and easy opulence weltldcome up and let. the Carpenter of Nazareth join trielrllands in pledge of everlasting kind- ness and peace, When men and women are dying they aro apt to divide• among their children mementos, and one. is giv- en a was h, and another a vase, and an- other a picture, and another a robe. Let this veteran century before it dies hand over to the human race, with an impress- iveness that "shall last forever, that old family keepsake, the golden keepsake which nearly nineteen hundred years ago was handed down from the black rock of the mount of beatitudee, "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them, for this is the: law and the prophets." Another thing that needs to be sot in order before the veteran century quits us is a more thorough and all embracing plan for the world's gardenization.

In those lower depths are splendid fellows in the rough, like the eboehlaok that a re- porter saw near New York city ball. Be asked a boy to' black his boots. The boy came up to bis work provokingly slow and had just begun when a large boy hoved him aside and began the work, and he re- porter reproved him as being a boll , and the' boy replied: "Oh, that's all ri ht. I am going to do it for 'im. You he's been sick in the hospital, more'n a oath, 'so ua boys turn in and give 'im lift," "Do all the boys help him?" asked `the re- porter, "Yes, fair. When they ain't got no job themselves and Jim gets one they turn i.n and help 'im, for he ain't Strong yet, you see," "How much percentage does he give you?" said the reporter; The boy replied: "I don't keep none of it.. I ain't no such sneak as that. All the boys give up what they gib on his job. I'd like to catch any feller sneaking on a sick boy, I would." Tho -reporter gave him a 25 sent piece and aMd, "You keep 10 cents for yourself and give the rest to Jim." "Can't do it, sir. It's his customer. Here, Jim." Such big souls as that strew all the lower depths of the cities, and, get them converted to God, this would be the last full century of the world's sin and but lit- tle work of evangelization would be left for the next century. Before this century expires let there be a oomiined effort to save the -great cities of America and Great Britain and of all Christendom. • What an awful thing it would be for you! 0 dying century, to bequeath to the coming century, as yet innocent and un- scarred with a single sin or burdened with a single sorrow, the blasphemy, the law- lessness; the atheism, the profligacy and the woes of great cities still unevangelized. What we ought to see, 0 dying century, is a revival of religion that would wrap the continents in conflagrations of religious awakening, and that would make legisla- tion - and -'merchiindise and all styles of worldly, business wait awhile at the tele- graph offices and the telephone offices be- cause they are occupied with telling the story of cities and nations born, in a day. Nearly all the centuries closed ith seime- thing tremendous. Why may not this cen- tury close in the salvation of America?

Yes, dear old century, you had an awful start, and. 3 au have done sore than well, considering your parentage and your early environment. It -is a wonder you did not turn out to be the vagabond century of all time. You had a bad mother and a bad grandmother. Some of the preceding cen- turies were not fit to live in;—their morals were so bad, their fashions'wore so outrage- ous, their ignorance was so dense, their inhumanity so terrific.

No, no! They are wanted at Montezuma and Chapultepec and South Mountain and Missionary Ridge, and the church is no p]€ ce for a Christian to ,the very long. He i. wanted at the front. He is needed in the esperate charge of taking the parapets. he last great battle for God is .not to be fought on the campus (1,f a college or the lawn of a church. It is to bo fought at Missionary Ridge. Before this. century quits us let us establish the habit of giving the forenoon of the Sab- bath to the churches and the afternoon and the evening of the Sabbath to gospel work in the halls and theaters and' streets and fields and slums, and wildernesses of sin -and sorrow. Why do Christians whq have stuffed themselves with "the strong meat of the word" and all gospel viands on Sabbath forenoons want to come up to a second service and stuff themselves again?' These old gormandizers at the gospel feast need .to get into outdoor work with the outdoor gospel that was preached on the banks of the Jordan, and on the fishing smacks of Lake Galilee, and in the bleak air of Assyrian mountains, I am told that throughput all our American cities the 'second Sabbath service in the majority of churches is sparsely, yea, disgracefully at- tended, and is the distress of the conse- crated and eloquent pastors who bring their learning and piety before pews ghats ly for their inoecupancy. What is the providential meaning? The greatest of all evangelists since Bible times recently sug- gested that the evening,services in all the churches be turned into the most popular style of evangelistic meetings' for outsid- ers. Surely that' is an experiment worth making. If that does not succeed, then it does seem to me all the churches which cannot securesiiffiaient evening audiences ought to shut up their buildings at night and go where the people are and invite them to come to the gospel banquet. A Helping Hand. I. Let the Christian souls, bountifully fed in the morning, go forth in, the afternoon and evening to feed the multitudes of out- siders starving for the bread of which if. a reran eat he. shall never again .hunger, worthiness I *OW like to see Christ de- scend from heaven in one of the clouds of this morning, and planting his feet on this earth, which he cause centuries ago to save, declare his reign of love and mercy and salvation on earth begun. And what more appropriate place—I say it reveren- tially—for such a divine landing than the capital of a continent never cursed by the . tyrannies and superstitions of the old world? - - What has this dying nineteenth century to tell us before he goes? We all love to bear septuagenarians, octogenarians, non- ageiiariaos and centenarians talk. We gather around the armchair and listen till it is far on into the night and never weary . of hearing their experiences. But Lord Lyndhurst, at 88 years of age, pouring in- to the oars of tho ]house of lords in a four hours' address theexperiences of a lifetime, andApollonius, at ,100 years of age, re- counting his travels to 'thrilled listeners, and Charles Macklin, at 107 years of age, absorbing the attention of his hearers, and Ralph Farnham of our country, at 107 years, telling the Prince of Wales the story of Bunker Hill, can create no such interest as this dying centenarian if he will only epeak.
