(XIhen men (XJill Be Jill Brain
I)r. Hurt Green Wilder, the
■well-known neurologist of Cornell
Univorsit.v, has a collection of hu
man brains in the neighborhood of
a thousand in number, and he is
constantly adding to it. Not a
few prominent men, among them
Mark Twain, have willed their
brains to Dr. Wilder. Naturally
the neurologist, with his large col
lection now in hind, has an ex
ceptional opportunity to study tin*
organ.
A short time ago, while in con
versation with a group of student
friends, he made the most start
ling prophecy for the future of
man. “It is no play of the imagi
nation, said he, “to say that some
time in the future the body of man
will not exist—he will lie just
brain. We are fast approaching
that state now. The eternal law
of nature, which says that all
things that are not used shall not
exist, is at work with man. Man
is not using his body, but his brain,
therefore the body must cease to
be. Evolution works slowly but
truly. Emerson said we have
coaches and streetcars, hut we
have forgotten how to walk. It, is
true. Just to give you an idea
how fast our bodies are becoming
dwarfed and weakened 1 might
mention the fact that less than i>,
000 years ago an extremely short
time in the course of evolution
alt people wore athletes, and a man
at the Olympic games in Greece
made a broad jump of 00 feet.
Something like 25 feet is the limit
now. In these days an athlete is
such a wonder that we pay money
to see him perform little feats that
a five-year old child could do in
former times.
“Conditions have changed won-!
derfully in the .short space of .‘>,t»00
years. Even at this very moment
evolution seems to bo jumping and
hastening forward at a pace on-!
known to the past This is espec
ially true with tin* brain. Dr. j
Carty of Chicago, who has made
measurements of the heads of stu- j
dents for the last dozen years,
says that the head of the average
American student has grown an
inch in circumference in that
space of time. 1 do not doubt the
truth of the statement.
“ When, however, we consider j
what the brain must yet come to
and how hard it is now to learn,
and to perceive things, we know
the brain has really just begun to
develop. It is even difficult to re
member what we have once been
told. We have to be drilled and
drilled before we learn a thing.
In fact the brain is quite stupid
when we remember its limitations.
This will not he true when tiny
brain is further advanced.
“You probably wonder, when
we have become a mere lump of
brain, without a body, how we
can transport ourselves from
place to place, how we can talk
without a mouth, how the brain
will get nourishment for itself and
i»ow the race will reproduce itself.
It is not so difficult to understand
something of how all this will he
done. Evolution and science will
take care of it all. You know that
even now people often know what
another is thinking about without
n word having been uttered. Wave
thoughts seem to pass through the
air. So, by the mere thinking,
wave currents of thought will be
sent out and all other brains may
receive them, even as wireless tel
egraph instruments receive their
wave vibrations. As for trans
portation, this will be easy when
we consider that we now have in
struments which can detect the
heat of a candle a mile away. We
shall have more delicate machines
which will •catch the power of the
wave thoughts and set the machine
in motion. Likewise chemically
predigested food will be supplied
to the brain by the use of a ma
chine run by the force of thought.
The science of chemistry will eas
ily take care of the reproduction
of the race of brains.”
BITS OF WISDOn.
The really self-made man never
boasts of his architecture.
The gospel in the heart is better !
than a sword in each hand.
Envy is a disease from which
those who do their best are im
mune.
It is better to make haste in the
beginning than to make haste to
finish up.
Sympathy for the under dog
should not lead us to sympathize
! with the wrong.
The best way to prepare for tin1
| big tasks is t> faithfully perform
1 the lilt 1“ ones.
Friendship may turn aside at j
at the first lane, hut love go»s to !
the end of the journey.
1 More men are w >n to the right :
i by picturing its joys than are won
from the evil by picturing its sor
rows.
The luckiest men we know are
the men wh > had sense enough to
work hard, live frugally and keep
sweet.
Men who are puzzled about the
problem of the hereafter might
find the solution in attending well
to the here.
There has never been an age
where more thought was given to
i mental and physical growth than (
the present. How to be strong in 1
mind and body is a study of inter
est to all. Some cheap remedies
are offered and easy recipes to fol
low, bur their simplicity is some
times their worst drawbacks. An
oriental philosopher declares no
one need lack the strength of
Sampson if he breathe well, walk
much and laugh lots. Cultivate
the laugh habit. The sound, or
the creases in your face are riot
the objects desired, but the ability
to break in on morbid care by a
hearty laugh is a worse foe to ill
health than all the drugs in Chris
tendom.

dBds BRIGHT S DISEASE
Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping “it will wear away,” are
drifting towards Bright’s Disease, which is kidney trouble in one of its worst forms.
FOLEYSKlDNEYCURE
stops irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues
of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out
- the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and
the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body,
causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action, etc.
If you have any signs of Kidney or Bladder Trouble commence taking FOLEY’S
KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a
fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system.
How to Find Out.
You can easily determine if your kidneys are
out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a
bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If
upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
a brick-dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE should be taken
at once.
G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Years.
G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes:
“About four year, ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirely
cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of
Foley’s Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the brick-dust sediment and
pain and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. 1 am glad to say that
I have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four
years that have elapsed, and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and
heartily recommend Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suffering from
kidney or bladder trouble."
